Added DiffLines:

* {{Expy}}: Like a number of the early characters, she actually did begin as a loose expy of a ''Journey to the West'' character - in this case, no less a person than Xuanzang Sanzang himself (she's on a quest which Goku/Wukong is just tagging along for, she gets into peril and needs saving by Goku, she's far less of an Action Person than Goku, etc). Of course, as time went on these elements drifted away and by the time the Saiyans show up, it can be hard to remember it was there at all.

* OnlyOneName: Just "Bulma". The English dub tries to turn her father's name into a surname, but it doesn't take very well.

to:

* OnlyOneName: Just "Bulma". Her future timeline counterpart is called "Future Bulma" by fans to separate her from her present timeline counterpart. The English dub tries to turn her father's name into a surname, but it doesn't take very well.

* DoubleStandard: In the first series she would get jealous of girls hitting on Yamcha. But, even when she's dating Yamcha, she's prepared to dump him at the drop of a hat for Jackie Chun and General Blue, before they turn out to be old and evil, respectively (that Blue is also gay hinders things as well). Whether she cheated on Yamcha with Vegeta, or Yamcha cheated on her causing her to go to Vegeta, is one of the fandom's Base Breakers. However, she appears to be completely loyal to Vegeta after Trunks' birth, ''finally'' falling into the HappilyMarried trope. She also at one point fell for, you guessed it, Goku, when she saw [[ShesAllGrownUp He's All Grown Up]]. It's just too bad he got engaged on the same day...

* HypocriteHasAPoint: As stated above, during the Buu Saga, Bulma chews out the rest of the heroes for being so casual about Goten and Trunks fighting Majin Buu. However, she never had any qualms about Goku going off on dangerous adventures when he was a kid, nor did she have issues with Gohan, who was also a kid at the time, traveling to Namek or fighting the Androids. That being said, she does have a point about them being so relaxed about the possibility of children dying, especially because she knows the Dragon Balls can only bring people back to life for so long.

The very first human Goku came across (apart from his grandpa) at the start of the series. One could say she's the trigger that kicks off the series as a whole. Originally on a quest to gather the Dragon Balls for her own reason (to wish for a perfect boyfriend), Bulma gets dragged into the craziness that comes along with the search. Even when the quest is finished, she still keeps close ties with Goku and his friends and helps out whenever possible. Which, considering she's a mechanical whiz, is quite often.
----

* ActionSurvivor: Bulma is nowhere near capable of fighting alongside her empowered friends and family, but she's still usually going right alongside them for adventures and is generally able to survive everything with minimal or no injuries.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair (when it is not grey or green) is lavender purple in the manga (as does Bra). So now you know where the hell Trunks' hair color came from. (Well, her dad has lavender hair, too.) In ''Anime/ThePathToPower'', her hair is back to purple. In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', her hair is blue. It was also blue in ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF''.
* AesopAmnesia: Subverted in that she is aware that time traveling is a crime, but creates a new time machine to try it out. Of course, both Whis and Beerus gets onto her for it, and the latter destroys it by snapping his fingers.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. In ''Dragon Ball'', Bulma was attracted to Yamcha (then a bandit) due to a combination of both his roguish nature and [[{{Adorkable}} hidden sensitive shy side]]. She also went head over heels when she first saw General Blue from the Red Ribbon Army and Zarbon from Freeza's army, ''before'' breaking up with Yamcha. She ultimately marries Vegeta, the mass-murdering, ki-blast happy alien and SociopathicHero of the group.
* AllWomenAreLustful: Bulma frequently goes crazy over attractive males (to the point where her reason to find the Dragon Balls was to wish for a boyfriend). Thankfully, she simmers down after marrying Vegeta and having children.
* AlmightyMom: Is this in the Buu Saga. She and Chi Chi both provide the page's image.
* AmicableExes: With Yamcha.
* AngerBornOfWorry: Bulma tends to express her fears and worries for the protagonists' safety with eruptive rage. Goku, Vegeta, and especially Yamcha were the most common targets. A good example can be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP5gI7zAEGg here]].
* ArmorPiercingSlap: Though when she tries it on [[OutsideContextProblem Beerus]], it doesn't work.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Vegeta and Bulma are full of this. They often yell at each other and Vegeta tries to pretend he doesn't particularly care about her. Despite all that, they are actually quite loving towards each other like Bulma making Vegeta an upgrade for his armor and kissing him on the cheek, much to his horror. During the Buu Saga, she screams in grief when she hears that Vegeta was killed by Majin Buu.
* BalefulPolymorph: The Ginyu Frog incident in ''Z''. It's not exactly polymorphing (It's actually body changing), but it serves the same effect. There was also the time the Rabbit Boss turned her into a carrot in the original series.
* BarrierMaiden: It's revealed in ''Anime/DragonballZResurrectionF'' that she bribes Beerus and Whis with food to keep them from destroying Earth.
* BathingBeauty: Early in the series, she is shown to have a love for taking bubble baths and often a bath is the first thing she desires when stranded in the wilderness. They call back to this in ''Dragon Ball Z'' by giving her another bubble bath scene while she is hiding out in a capsule house on Namek.
* BerserkButton: She has several but the most notable is Master Roshi's perverseness towards her.
* BigDamnHeroes: Believe it or not, yes. Just when Beerus attempted to destroy Earth, she had the guts to approach and slap him. In both the movie and ''Super'', her being hit back causes Vegeta to go berserk and briefly surpass Goku.
* ABirthdayNotABreak: ''Battle of Gods'', and the entire fight with Beerus, takes place during her birthday party.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: For most of the first series she never ''quite'' matured past her selfish teenage girl phase. She gets a lot better, but she never truly loses that bratty part of her personality.
* BullyingADragon:
** In both ''Battle of Gods'' and ''Dragon Ball Super'', she angrily chews out Beerus for spoiling her birthday and slaps him across the face. Keep in mind that Beerus is the [[PhysicalGod God of Destruction]] and TheDreaded for even Shenron himself, and Bulma just saw him effortlessly beat down all of the Z-Fighters, including Vegeta, with her own eyes. Thankfully, she gets off with nothing but an ArmorPiercingSlap.
** Invoked in ''Resurrection F'': upon discovering that Frieza has come BackFromTheDead and invaded Earth, Goku explicitly tells Vegeta that they have to return to Earth right away before Bulma says or does something stupid to piss Frieza off.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Taken more literally in PlayboyBunny outfit when she and Goku encountered Monster Rabbit.
* ButtMonkey: The anime {{filler}} made her into this during the Freeza Saga, being stuck in the body of a frog thanks to Captain Ginyu.
* BuxomIsBetter: She has the biggest bust of all the ''Dragon Ball'' female characters (with the exception of the filler character [[BrainlessBeauty Maron]]) and Roshi naturally like this.
* ChildProdigy: According to ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman'', she had already surpassed her father at the age of five and single-handedly repaired an alien spacecraft in a matter of minutes.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Mostly as a teenager in ''Anime/DragonBall'' when she would get jealous of girls hitting on Yamcha.
* ComedicSociopathy: Because of her [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], SpoiledBrat personality at the beginning of the series, it's nearly impossible to feel sorry for her when misfortune hits. Just in the first episode of ''Dragon Ball'' she hits Goku with her car, shots him, tries to bribe him with feeling on her butt, and manipulates him to gain access to his Dragon Ball. So, her being captured by a dinosaur and peeing herself is treated as a comedic moment. She, thankfully, grows out of this for the most part.
* CommutingOnABus: Remember when Bulma was the ''CO-LEAD?'' Downplayed in the Namek, Android, and Cell sagas where she has a bigger part. She also plays a prominent role once Beerus and Whis show up, functioning as their main supplier of delicious food and reason for not blowing up Earth. It works.
* CoolBigSis: To Goku and later to Gohan.
* CowerPower: She often hides behind Goku whenever someone or something dangerous happens when she was a teenager. She looked especially funny since she's so much taller than Goku who is barely three feet tall. She also hid behind Yamcha, which terrifies him at first because of his fear of women.
* DemotedToExtra: In the "Majin Buu" arc of ''Z'' and in ''GT'' (with the exception of Baby arc where she has a major role).
* {{Deuteragonist}}: In the early parts of the original Dragonball, and in the Legacy of Goku arc.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: She has a habit of antagonizing Beerus and getting away with it.
* DitzyGenius: Especially in the English dub. She's one of the brightest minds in the world, being able to make brilliant inventions out of junk in minutes, however she lacks a lot of logical judgement. This is best shown in the Red Ribbon Army Saga where she invents a high-tech spy drone and sees tat Goku is planning to attack the Red Ribbon Army HQ. After the drone gets blown up she realizes they need to call for help, but she complains they don't have a phone. Turtle then points out that if she could make a drone then a phone shouldn't be any trouble for her, to which she gets the point and sets to work making the phone.
* DoubleStandard: In the first series she would get jealous of girls hitting on Yamcha. But, even when she's dating Yamcha, she's prepared to dump him at the drop of a hat for Jackie Chun and General Blue, before they turn out to be old and evil, respectively (that Blue is also gay hinders things as well). Whether she cheated on Yamcha with Vegeta, or Yamcha cheated on her causing her to go to Vegeta, is one of the fandom's Base Breakers. However, she appears to be completely loyal to Vegeta after Trunks' birth, ''finally'' falling into the HappilyMarried trope. She also at one point fell for, you guessed it, Goku, when she saw [[ShesAllGrownUp He's All Grown Up]]. It's just too bad he got engaged on the same day...
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Her treatment of Yamcha in their past relationship wouldn't be acceptable if the genders were reversed. Basically, Bulma has been known to hit and yell at Yamcha for girls he hasn't met being attracted to him!
* DomesticAbuser: Taken realistically, some of her actions would count as this.
* DotingParent: She's quite the doting mother to her two children.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: "Bulma" = "buruma" = "bloomers". Bulma was reluctant to tell Goku her name when they first met because of this. Goku laughed his tail off when he first heard it.
* EntitledBastard: When they first meet Master Roshi after returning his pet turtle, Bulma fully expects Roshi to give her a gift in exchange despite the fact that she blatantly refused to initially help Turtle return to the sea, and tried to persuade Goku to feed Turtle to the [[BearsAreBadNews Bear Thief]] to save her own hide; Turtle even outright says that Goku's the only one who ''really'' helped him.
* EpicFail: Tried to use a remote to summon Nappa's left-over space pod and ended up blowing it up.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Averted. While she changes her hairstyle quite often, none of the changes are really expository.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Like all of her family, she is named after underwear. Bulma = bloomers.
* Fiction500: Her family owns Capsule Corp.; capsules are a perfect miniaturization technology, and the Briefs have a monopoly. While the exact extent of Bulma's wealth isn't made entirely clear, her mansion is big enough to house internal forests, and building a spaceship for her friends' interstellar travel needs, free of charge, is a trivial act. In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' she rented a yacht for her birthday party that was large enough to house an entire literal castle with room to spare.
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: In the Anime Filler, this is how she fell for Vegeta.
* ForScience: In ''Super'', she insists on trying to build her own version of the time machine her future self made, despite the whole temporal mess and Beerus warning her that time travel is strictly forbidden, simply because she knows it can exist and is compelled to try herself. She ends up getting caught by Beerus and he blows it up.
* GadgeteerGenius: She invented the Dragon Radar and built a ''TimeMachine'' in an alternate timeline just to name a few. As well as this, she has invented so much more, being the president of Capsule Corp.
* GagBoobs: Though not particularly big, they were used more than once for comedy early in the series.
* GoodParents: She is this to Trunks and Bulla. Even though she made the mistake of bringing Baby Trunks to the battlefield, she still shows that she cares for his well-being. She also doesn't hesitate to rein in Vegeta's overzealous training habits with Trunks, often reminding him that Trunks is still a child and she won't stand for it.
* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: In ''GT''. Not technically a grandmother, but she has aged and ''still'' looks great.
* HairTriggerTemper: It's not as bad as her husband's, but the littlest things set her off. In ''Resurrection of F'', Goku and Vegeta return to Earth as quickly as possible because they know Bulma's going to say something insulting to Frieza and make him blow up the whole planet.
-->'''Bulma:''' Hey, creep! Were the first two losses not enough? How'd you come back to life, anyways? You're not just obsessed with revenge, you suck at it!
* HappilyMarried: By all accounts, with Vegeta. She's openly affectionate with him and doesn't display any of the insecurities that haunted her past relationships, instead seeming to be perfectly content with the life they've built together. It doesn't stop them from bickering, though. Given her previous relationship with Yamcha, it's probably because she knows Vegeta will never be friendly with other women, not when he's so abrasive to his allies... Vegeta even told Goku [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGDJql9593I her headstrongness]] is the reason why he loves her, to Piccolo's genuine surprise.
* HotScientist: Very much so, she is a great scientist and also a beautiful girl-woman. Just look at her picture for proof.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** In her relationship with Yamcha, Bulma would always flirt with other guys and try to find another boyfriend, but Kami forbid Yamcha try to do the same thing. Simmers down a lot after becoming a wife and mother, but that's possibly due to Vegeta showing no interest in anyone besides her, no matter how little.
** She tears the Z-Fighters a new one for depending on Goten and Trunks to fight Majin Buu, especially after Piccolo traps them in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, where they will remain forever until Buu kills them. While she makes a valid point and the Z-Fighters [[DeathIsCheap are being too casual about death]], she never made this protest before when kid Goku would go off on dangerous adventures, one that she started with the first Dragon Ball hunt, and even encouraged Goku to come with her. She also had no problem with kid Gohan fighting super-powered, mass-murdering aliens and androids, and didn't bat an eye when he asked to go to Namek with them. It's not until ''her'' child is in mortal danger that she suddenly realizes the negative implications of having children fight on the front lines.
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey:
** She tries to invoke this occasionally but it seldom does much good: Yamcha is too bibbledy over her to be useful, Vegeta is too much of a JerkAss, and though Goku will usually help her out, it's because his Grandpa taught him to be nice to women, [[ChasteHero not because he is particularly attracted to them]].
** One subversion in the early series actually involves Bulma offering a lot more than a peek to General Blue, who is consequently ''horrified'' by the prospect, hinting his tastes run ... elsewhere.
** The only time this tactic has worked for Bulma is when she has to cajole [[OldMaster Master]] [[DirtyOldMan Roshi]] into giving up a dragon ball. Due to [[IdiotHero forces]] [[RaisedByWolves unexpected]], she ends up giving Roshi a bit more than she thought she did...
* InsufferableGenius: She occasionally falls into this, especially in the first show, and in the ''Z'' days before she married Vegeta and had a son. Although she is super-intelligent, even more so than her father, she can be whiny and selfish.
* InterspeciesRomance: With Vegeta, though Saiyans are HumanAliens.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Mainly in ''Dragon Ball''. She falls back into it during the Namek Saga, where she spends most of her time on Namek whining and moaning about how miserable she is and acting like everyone should drop what they're doing and take her back to Earth, to the extent that when she sees the Dragon Balls are assembled, she plans to wish herself back to Earth despite full knowledge that the entire reason they're there is to resurrect everyone who died fighting Nappa and Vegeta.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Self-centered, vain, and spoiled, but not a bad person.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Her relationship with Goku is this. They have been friends since childhood and neither has ever expressed romantic interest in the other in-universe. The closest they ever came was when Bulma saw Goku as an adult for the first time and remarked on how handsome he'd turned out, and even that could be interpreted as sisterly affection rather than genuine romantic interest. Although, Bulma later admitted on Namek that she wished Goku was her boyfriend. She also puts more faith in Goku to solve the current crisis even more than her own husband.
* TheLoad:
** During the Red Ribbon Army Saga, Goku tells her point-blank that he doesn't want her coming along with him to find his grandpa's Dragon Ball because she's useless and will only get in his way.
** She's even worse during the Namek and Frieza Sagas. Bulma is brought along because she's the only person with the know-how to fix their spaceship if it breaks down, but the only useful thing she does is stay in radio contact with her father. Otherwise she just hides in a capsule house inside a cave, whines about how hard her life is, and act like everyone needs to drop everything they're doing and ferry her back to Earth as quickly as they can. Even worse, at one point she sees the Dragon Balls are assembled and runs off to wish herself back to Earth, despite knowing that the whole reason they're there is to revive the people killed fighting Vegeta and Nappa. And then she gets briefly body-swapped with Captain Ginyu, a bit of {{Filler}} that was actually retained in ''Anime/DragonBallKai''.
* LostInTranslation: The way Bulma addresses Goku in Japanese. She mostly calls him ''Son'' (Son-kun), although that's his family name, she calls him that way to show how close and familiar she is with him while the rest of the cast appropriately calls him Goku. Bulma referring to Goku as Son in English would make many children scratch their heads in confusion, so it was completely dropped in the English localization, and curiously in some other countries as well. The English manga did keep this in some instances, though. There's also the fact that, given her family's naming theme, her name was probably meant to be Bloomer (which would make sense, Buruma would be a pretty good Japanese transliteration of Bloomer).
* LoveMartyr: To Vegeta. She puts up with a lot given that Vegeta is a prideful {{Jerkass}}. Even after he cools down, he's still a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who rarely openly shows love for her and their child.
* MagneticHero: She was this in the first story arc of ''Dragon Ball''. She gets Goku to join her side by promising him a grand adventure and to see the world for the first time. She bribes and then later blackmails Oolong on her quest for the Dragon Balls, and Yamcha develops a crush on her and follows them so he can used the Dragon Balls for himself to wish away his fear of women, [[FireForgedFriends eventually forming a friendship with them]].
* MissFixit: She repaired a broken scouter and repaired Android #16.
* MoralityPet:
** To [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Yamcha]] in the Pilaf Saga and then Vegeta in the Buu Saga and beyond, considering that [[UnstoppableRage he freaks out and tries (very well) to beat Beerus until he's a stain on the floor]] after he slaps her.
** She and Trunks becomes this to [[TokenEvilTeammate Vegeta]] and he's fully aware of it, which is why he allows Babidi to turn him into a Majin. [[EvilFeelsGood He wants to recapture the feelings he once had when he was evil]]. In the end, he can't turn his back on his family and comes to regrets his actions. To make amends, he gives his life to protect them from Majin Buu, his first true selfless act.
* MsFanservice: She is the curviest female character of the franchise and has the biggest bust (aside Maron that is a filler character). The PlayboyBunny suit being one of the earliest examples together with her several PantyShot and bath scenes. To take it further, she's the only female character to appear (fully) naked in the entire series.
* {{Narcissist}}: Bulma has a few traits of narcissism (albeit mostly in ''DragonBall'') such as her vanity, having a lot of self-centered desires, and showing no scruples with manipulating and screwing people over to fulfill her desires and getting what she wants.
* NeverMyFault: In ''GT's'' Shadow Dragon Saga, when everyone blames Bulma for the latest crisis because she made the Dragon Radar and completely nullified the "scatter long enough for the negative energy to disperse" safety measure, Bulma quickly shifts the blame onto Goku by stating that she never could have found the balls without him, despite the fact that Goku had ''absolutely no idea'' what the Dragon Balls even were or what they did before Bulma showed up on his doorstep looking for them; Goku, [[IdiotHero being Goku]], actually agrees with her. Adding to that, what Bulma did was a complete accident. She wasn't expecting the crisis to happen, so while her blaming Goku was wrong, it wouldn't be right to act as though Bulma did it all on purpose.
* NoBadassToHisValet: Despite being a {{Muggle}}, Bulma is perfectly willing to push around anyone. She even does this to [[BloodKnight Vegeta]], to the point of getting him into wearing a pink shirt. Naturally, they hook up and have two children together. She continues to boss him around on a regular basis, even during his battle against Frieza.
-->'''Bulma:''' Hey, Vegeta! How long were you thinking of making your beautiful wife wait, huh?
* OddFriendship: With Whis. It originally started out as Bulma just supplying him and Beerus with a constant stream of delicious Earth food, but by ''Resurrection of ‘F’'', Whis seems to have become genuinely fond of her.
* {{Ojou}}: And is filthy rich to back it up.
* OnlyOneName: Just "Bulma". The English dub tries to turn her father's name into a surname, but it doesn't take very well.
* OneOfTheBoys: Aside from being TheChick, she has tomboyish traits and often shares common interests with her friends in the Dragon Ball Gang (and later, the Z Fighters). Her love for mechanics and gadgetry is a plus factor.
* OnlySaneWoman: Tries to be the voice of "the common people" amongst men who live by the Way of the Warrior. Best demonstrated when Trunks warned them about the androids: Bulma suggests using the dragonballs to stop them before they get dangerous enough to fight back, and is promptly outvoted by Goku, Vegeta, etc. wanting to test their strength.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Goku, [[ShesAllGrownUp at least until he grew up...]] Even then, she and Goku remain quite close friends.
* PoorCommunicationKills: During the Cell Saga, she neglects to tell Android 16 that she removed the bomb in his body while repairing him; this comes back to bite them when 16 tries to self-destruct along with Cell and can't because the bomb is gone.
* ProudBeauty: She thinks the reason she couldn't ride the Nimbus was because she was "so beautiful it's a sin". Yep, she counts.
* SecretKeeper: She is this to the Z-Fighters, especially Goku. She knows none of them are interested in fame and want to keep their world saving on the down low. Which is why when Goku killed King Piccolo and she reported the defeat, she made sure not to mention Goku's name. She also helps Gohan with his Saiyaman costume and didn't want anyone to go Super Saiyan at the World Martial Arts Tournament so people wouldn't connect them with the 'Gold Fighters' from the Cell Games.
* ShesGotLegs: Boy, she has 'em alright... almost all of her outfits involve dresses or shorts revealing her fine, long slender legs.
* {{Shorttank}}: Often wore this in her younger days.
* ShowerScene: While camping in the desert in Oolong's double-decker camper. Yamcha accidentally saw her showering while trying to invade their camp. Happens again in ''Resurrection of F'' when Goku walks in on Bulma while she's only wrapped in a towel. She promptly punches him.
* ShowSomeLeg:
** Several times in the original ''Dragon Ball'', this was her go-to bartering tactic. It proved most effective against Master Roshi...not so much against anybody else. She eventually gave up on this maneuver altogether.
** [[spoiler: Comes back in a glorious fashion in ''Super'' when, as Trunks is struggling to learn the Mafuba to use on the immortal Zamasu, she ''pretends'' to invoke the trope on him -- only to later reveal after he lashes out at her in his extreme xenophobia of mortals that she was ''trying'' to get a rise out of him, knowing that her being harmed would give her son the rage he needed to succeed.]]
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Bulma's a victim of a lot of slapstick towards her, being a ButtMonkey and all.
* TheSmartGirl: She possesses an almost superhuman intellect and uses it to create a bounty of useful inventions in her quest for the Dragon Balls. Many of these creations, like the Dragon Radar, are so complex that experts and scientists have not been able to understand them.
* SmokingIsCool: Late into her adult life... being the wife of ''Vegeta'' would be stressful, after all. However, Future Bulma is also smoking, despite only briefly hooking up with Future Vegeta. Though, it's likely that she's also extremely stressed out after the loss of her lover and friends.
* SpoiledBrat: She has spades of this, especially early in the series. She's somewhat grown out of this as she got older, although it still pops up from time to time, even after having Trunks and Bulla.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: During the Android Saga, she's the only member of the group who thinks to simply go after Dr. Gero and stop him before he activates the androids. She's promptly shot down, mostly because Goku and Vegeta [[BloodKnight like the sound of the challenge these androids will bring]]. Krillin also tells her in secret that it's best to give former villains Piccolo and Vegeta a mutual enemy.
* TeenGenius: She designed a portable Dragon Ball-detecting radar at the tender age of 16. She loses the teen part over the course of the series, but keeps the genius part.
* TheTeamBenefactor: She and her father provide the heroes with all their high-tech needs -- spacecraft, time machines, updated Saiyan armor, etc.
* TheTeamNormal: Of the original five (Goku, Yamcha, Paur, Oolong, and herself), she is the only one with no powers. This remains such throughout the series. Her intellect, on the other hand, is sometimes on par with the guys' insane power levels and even saves their lives on numerous occasions.
* TokenGirl: During ''Dragon Ball'', she was the only girl who would journey around.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's usually the Tomboy to nice!Launch. With Chichi, on the other hand, this is usually zigzagged, considering that Chichi is an ActionGirl while Bulma is a {{Fashionista}} [[NonActionGuy Non Action Girl]]. But Bulma is also a GadgeteerGenius while Chichi is a SupremeChef and good example of FeminineWomenCanCook.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She does like dressing sexy and putting on lipstick, but she's mainly a tech geek.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Played with. Pilaf threatens Bulma with sexual torture, but then just blows her a kiss. When she says what she ''thought'' he was planning to do, she ends up freaking ''him'' out.
* {{Tsundere}}: Bulma's also somewhat of a tsundere, especially in first series, but starts to mellow out and has lost most of this by the time Vegeta steps into the picture, settling down into HappilyMarried motherhood. She's still quite bossy, though.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: In ''Super'', Vegeta claims she can't go a week without Instant Ramen. She, more or less, confirms it by saying it was her trump card.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Her father Dr. Brief is old and wrinkly while Bulma is a very pretty HotScientist.
* UnfazedEveryman: Despite seeing powerful enemies that can blow up planets, she doesn't see it as a big deal and calmly goes about her techy business until something ''really'' strange or out-of-this-world happens. Not even Vegeta's temper-tantrums faze her. Especially so during the Androids saga, where she seems even more unfazed than the heroes themselves at all the powerful villains going around. She actively follows the heroes when Frieza shows up again ''twice'', just because she wants to finally catch a glimpse of him. Even Whis popping out Baby Bulla from her belly didn't shock her, unlike the rest of the cast.
* UptownGirl: She and Vegeta play with this trope. While Vegeta is the prince of Saiyans, his home planet was destroyed, and he had spent the majority of his life working under Frieza. Bulma, on the other hand, is the heiress to Capsule Corporation, one of the biggest companies on Earth, and has never been stripped of her wealth like Vegeta was.
* UnlimitedWardrobe: And hairstyles.
* VitriolicBestBuds:
** She and Goku starts with this kind of relationship. Goku is quick to point-out how weak and useless Bulma is, while Bulma often yells about how naive Goku is. This is especially apparent in the first story arc. Despite that, they do care for each other with Bulma worrying about Goku's safety and Goku rescuing Bulma when she's in trouble. By the time of Z the vitriolic part is all but gone, although it does pop up every blue moon.
** Also Chichi, though mostly in the English dub, in Z. They both find themselves arguing over their husbands and sons, but they do get along most of the time.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Especially in the first story arc of the original ''Dragon Ball''. By the end of her journey to collect the Dragon Balls, she made friends with a monkey-tailed boy, a perverted old man, an equally perverted pig, and a desert bandit and his floating cat. Her circle of friends continued to get weirder. She later marries the Prince of Saiyans and has two half-Saiyan children. {{Lampshaded}} by Krillin in ''Resurrection 'F'', when Jaco shows up and he openly wonders where she meets so many weirdos.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: This was pretty much the reaction to everyone, both in and out of universe, to the idea that Bulma and Vegeta would end up together. Especially during the Android/Cell Saga, where Vegeta essentially ignores Bulma's very existence despite having fathered Trunks with her, and even flat-out tells Future Trunks to his face that he doesn't care one bit about "that foolish woman and her blasted child." However, Future Trunks has an idea:
-->'''Future Trunks''': I don't think you realize how much honor means to my father. It's the only thing that keeps him going. It's what makes him a warrior. Oh sure, some might see it as arrogance, but I think down at the core, it's much more noble than that. I believe that's what my mother saw in him. And it's what I see too.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** During the Buu Saga, she gives all of the Z-Fighters such a speech when Trunks, Goten, and Piccolo are trapped in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Majin Buu after Piccolo blows up the entrance, especially after Krillin cheerily points out that Piccolo could simply [[ItMakesSenseInContext kill them and himself]], and then they can bring them back with the Dragon Balls:
--->'''Bulma''': Are you even listening to yourself?! "Relax, because they're trapped with a monster that could kill them?!" They were ''children''! They should have ''never'' been made to fight! You grown men left the fate of the Earth in their hands! I hope you're ashamed!
** In the original Japanese, Bulma's speech is even more brutal; she pulls no punches and flat-out calls the Z-Fighters cowards for forcing two children to fight Buu.
** In the Episode 62 of ''Super'', she ''really'' gives Beerus an earful, since [[spoiler: contrary to his insistence that it would occur because he killed the present Zamasu, Goku Black was ''not'' RetGone and is still wreaking havoc in the future]].
** In the Episode 68 of ''Super'', ''she'' gets one from [[spoiler: Beerus and Whis, who find out that she's built a new time machine. Beerus then proceeds to destroy it and the stuff required to make it work.]]
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Several of her outfits have this. The first time is when, dealing with Oolong in Aru Village, Bulma is seen with a pair of brown short shorts. In the Red Ribbon arc, Bulma wore a red shirt that leaves her shoulders exposed and orange shorts. At the begin of "Dragon Ball Z" she wears white shorts. In ''Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound'', she wears them again.
* WomenPreferStrongMen: Possible. Would explain her falling for Yamcha and then for Vegeta, at any rate.
* WouldHurtAChild: In her first appearance, she ''shoots Goku in the head''; granted Goku ''did'' mistake her for a monster and throw her car, but still.
* WrenchWench: Bulma can fix anything as a GadgeteerGenius.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: In the anime, though it is purplish in the manga, explaining why Trunks has purple hair.
* YoungestChildWins: She is the favorite child, compared to her older sister Tights, who is unmentioned and never appears in the anime (until the Champa Saga, and even then it's only Bulma who mentioned/called her).
