Bulla (ブラ, Bura; Literally meaning "Bra") is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball franchise. She makes her debut in "Buu's Reincarnation", the 290th episode of Dragon Ball Z, which premiered on January 24, 1996. Like Bulma and Trunks, Bulla's name is an allusion to an undergarment, the bra in particular (this pun is more apparent in the Dragon Ball manga, where the character's name is literally spelled Bra).

[edit] Biography
Bulla is the second child of Vegeta and Bulma, and thus is both a Saiyan and human by blood. She is born 1 year after the defeat of Kid Buu. She is close friends with two other descendants of the Z Fighters, Marron, the daughter of Krillin and Android 18, and Pan, the daughter of Gohan and Videl. Of the three girls, Bulla is the most exertive of her femininity, especially in comparison to Pan, who by Dragon Ball GT has grown into somewhat of a tomboy. Bulla's appearance in Dragon Ball GT appears as a more youthful retooling of a common look of her mother's (most memorably during the adventure on Planet Namek, as well as the Androids Saga), while her personality is geared closer towards that of her father.
Bulla is usually cheerful, eager to please, and is very fond of her father. Her father doesn't appear to make a point of encouraging her to train as he does with her brother, Trunks, but the two are quite close. In fact, Bulla may be the only person Vegeta demonstrates not hesitating to answering to, often bending to her wishes such as insisting he shave off his mustache because she feels it doesn't suit him, or taking her to go shopping.
[edit] History
[edit] Dragon Ball Z
[edit] Kid Buu saga
Bulla is first seen in the series at the age of nine, when she attends the 28th World Tournament with her mother at the end of the Dragon Ball Z series.
[edit] Dragon Ball GT
[edit] Black Star Dragon Balls saga
Years later, Bulla is seen in Dragon Ball GT with her father as they watch Goku, Trunks, and Goten go off in to space to look for the Black Star Dragon Balls.
[edit] Baby Saga
Bulla is seen again with her father driving home after taking her shopping when they are attacked by Baby Goten and Baby Gohan.
Her father Vegeta told her to go home so that he could fight Baby Goten and Gohan. Bulla is seen again under Baby's control with Baby Trunks, Baby Goten, Baby Gohan and Baby Vegeta. She was with Baby Trunks, Baby Goten and Baby Gohan when they gave Baby Vegeta their Saiyan energy to defeat Goku for what his race did to his planet. She is later cured of Baby's control.
[edit] Super 17 saga
Some months later, Bulla is seen in Chi-Chi's house having dinner with her mother, Goku, Pan, Gohan, and Videl. Trunks comes to the house injured by Android 17. They look out side and see the hole that leads from hell to earth. Trunks is healed and tells them that Android 17 wants Goku to go to hell. They watch on TV as resurrected villains emerge from the hole and start destroying the cities. Goku said he will go to hell if he wants this to stop. Bulla is seen in a plane with her mother going to the battle. They see a big explosion and are hit with Chi-Chi's pot. Bulla is seen for the last time when the Black smoke dragon emerges from the dragon balls.
[edit] Other appearances
Bulla makes an appearance in the Dragon Ball video game spin-off Budokai Tenkaichi 2, wherein upon the completion of Basic Training, she appears and attests that she has come from the future, and says "I'll take shopping over training any day," and also says "I'm not sure if I understand but do your best." She does state that her "parents were so lame." She also makes an appearance as the character who describes missions in the GT saga of the video game, Infinite World.
Bulla may be making an appearance in Dragon Ball Online, as a character with a similar appearance to Bulla is seen in the promotional art.

[edit] Trivia
- As evidenced by the credits of Dragon Ball GT's finale, Bulla is taller than Marron.
- She does not exist in Future Trunks alternate timeline like Goten because Vegeta was killed by the Androids in 766 A.D(12 years before she was born).
- She is the only one that Vegeta (father) will answer to.
- A girl looking very similar to Bulla's GT appearance can be seen sitting in Gohan's class room in Wrath of the Dragon.
- While being Vegeta's daughter, she bears little to no resemblance to him, and looks almost completely like Bulma.
