Biographies-Bulma

Bulma is the boy-crazy young rich girl that teams up with Goku in the beginning of Dragonball. She joins him in many adventures, and plays many small yet vital roles throughout the three series.

When Goku first meets Bulma, she's on a search for the Dragon Balls. She runs over the young boy while he's carrying a giant fish across the road. Goku thinks that her car is a monster and tries to fight it, but Bulma eventually talks him into calming down. Once Goku realizes that Bulma is a girl, he immediately turns polite and tells her she can come back to his house. When they get there, Bulma notices that Goku has the 4 star Dragonball, which he thinks is his Granpa, so she tells him the story of the Dragon and the wishes and he agrees to go on adventures with her to search for the Dragonballs.

While searching for the Dragonball's, we find out what wish Bulma wants to make, and that is for a perfect boyfriend. When they meet Yamucha for the first time, Bulma immediately falls in love. She holds this crush for Yamucha all throughout Dragonball and halfway through Dragonball Z, until she meets Vegeta. Yamucha eventually gets over his shyness and he and Bulma date for a long time. They never take it far enough to get married, but when Bulma has baby Trunks everyone was surprised that Yamucha was not the father.

Bulma inherited her genius from her father. She invents the Dragonball radar which comes in handy numerous times throughout the series because it picks up the energy from the Dragonballs and makes it easy to find them.

After the Saiya-jin battle on Earth, Bulma plays a major role in the trip to Namek. She goes with Mr. Popo to Yunzabit heights where they find the Namek space ship. Bulma is forced to learn the Namek language in order to operate the space ship. It takes a while to get the preperations ready, but they eventually embark on the journey to Namek.

On Namek, Bulma plays very small roles. She mostly gets chased by dinosaurs and aliens. She makes a voice box and puts it on the Frog Ginyu which allows him to perform his change technique. Ginyu takes over Bulma's body and tries to wreak some havoc, but her body isn't nearly powerful enough for him to do anything in. Eventually, they get changed back. Bulma gets transported back to Earth along with everyone else, where she calls her father to pick them all up.

During the 3 years preparation for the Androids, Bulma somehow falls in love with Vegeta and they have a son named Trunks. Vegeta's pride would not allow him to show emotion towards Bulma or her Baby, but by the Majin Buu saga he finally shows them that he loves them.

When the Z senshi are fighting the Androids, Bulma once again proves her worth and genius by making a device that could shut off Android 17 and 18. Also, when Cell tears up Android 16, Bulma assists her father in fixing the powerful Android, making him ready for battle once gain.

Bulma turns out to be a great mother and raises her son very well. She is very proud of him like any good mother, but she isn't over protective like Chi-Chi. During the Budoukai, Bulma gets in a fight with an angry mother when Trunks beats the child up.

Bulma doesn't play another large part until in GT when her body is taken over by Bebi and she makes a Brute Ray that turns Bebi Vegeta into a Golden Oozaru.
