She is considerably spoiled and vain, while also known for her extreme intellect. Bulma also tends to have a great deal of concern over her hygiene, frequently complaining when circumstances prevent her from taking a bath or replenishing her beauty supplies, even when her hygiene is the least of her worries (such as being stranded on Namek). Her persistence rarely leaves room for submission, and she often does whatever it takes to achieve her goals. During their marriage, even the proud Vegeta fails to keep her intimidated.

She used to be the girlfriend of Yamcha but moved on and became the wife of Vegeta. With him she had a son named Trunks and a daughter named Bra. Like Trunks and Bra, Bulma's name is an allusion to an undergarment, modern bloomers in particular. While Bulma is referred to only by her given name during the series, English translations seem to imply that Brief is her family name, and by proxy, her full name may be Bulma Brief (this is actually what she calls herslef in Dragon Ball: Evolution).

Aside from Goku, Bulma is the single longest-running character in the entire metaseries, being introduced only a few minutes after Goku, in the first episode of Dragon Ball, and lasting until the final episode of Dragon Ball GT, "Until We Meet Again".
