Background / History

Tights is Bulma's older sister and the eldest daughter of the Brief family. She first encounters Karochi at Capsule Corporation, where his extraordinary appetite and Saiyan tail immediately fascinate her. Learning that he is an alien from Planet Vegeta only intensifies her curiosity about extraterrestrial life. 4 5

Driven by a dream of becoming a popular science-fiction writer, Tights persuades Karochi to take her into space. She offers him an unlimited credit card, exploiting his need for food and money; Karochi accepts the arrangement. 5 She accompanies him to the Lookout, prepares for its harsh environment in a spacesuit, and receives a spell from Kami that protects her from ordinary environmental discomfort. 6 8

During their journey, she turns their travels, alien encounters, and dangerous detours into research material. Her firsthand experience eventually makes her a successful science-fiction author whose works are read even by Kami and Korin. 13 17 33

On Yardrat, Tights learns the Spirit Eye secret technique. Though she faints during training, she recovers after seven days and demonstrates that the technique can identify a person's race, combat power, and other data. 31

Tights later negotiates directly with Chronoa. In exchange for permission to visit the Time Nest, she assures Chronoa that Karochi will accept recruitment as a Time Patroller—making the arrangement while Karochi is unconscious. 57 She visits the Time Nest, gathers material for her writing, and maintains a friendly relationship with Chronoa. 59 60

Appearance

Tights is a blonde, blue-eyed Earthling whose appearance changes from a long-haired young girl into a glamorous adult woman during the story. 5 82

• Long golden hair, initially reaching her waist; later described as wavy. 5 82
• Blue eyes, fair skin, and a slender, long-legged build. 82
• Wore a spacesuit for the Lookout before receiving Kami's protective spell. 6 8
• Often dresses fashionably, including camisoles and short shorts during her travels, and later skirts and high heels. 36 152

Personality

Tights is intensely curious, adventurous, and largely unafraid of the dangers implied by alien worlds, violent Saiyans, or cosmic phenomena. Karochi's revelation that Planet Vegeta is about to be destroyed excites her interest in space rather than frightening her. 5

She is ambitious about writing and persistently seeks new material, often dragging Karochi into detours despite his objections. Her impulsiveness can delay their travels, but she is also resourceful: she operates scanners, uses trackers, repairs their ship, and researches unfamiliar phenomena during crises. 15 17 28

Despite her teasing and domineering behavior toward Karochi, Tights is deeply protective of him. She chastises him for reckless gravity training, worries during his battles, and repeatedly seeks help or information on his behalf. Their relationship is consistently treated as sibling-like rather than romantic. 12 16 60 77
