Beautiful as she is deadly, Android 18 is a cybernetic human, modified by the scientist named Dr. Gero. She is often referred to in the original Japanese as a Jinzō'ningen, which translates as android, artificial human, cyborg, or robot. However, she is not exactly an artificial human considering that she was originally human. It is implied in the manga she and her brother (Android 17) were originally runaways heavily fitted with cybernetics. Whether or not this "fitting" was consensual is unknown, but it is implied that it wasn't considering that she and 17 both show a disdainful disrespect toward Dr. Gero. In the Anime its implied that she and Android 17 may actually be Dr. Gero's children when at the 24th Tenka'ichi Budōkai when asked about her name she refers to her father liking unusual names. However, she is able to biologically function as a human does, given the fact that she produces a child right before the Buu Saga. 18's original human name is never revealed.

It is never explained why Androids 17 and 18 were created, but it has been suggested that 17 and 18 were tools to be used by Gero's ultimate creation named Cell. Cell was supposed to absorb them into his fully biological body and become the "perfect" warrior. He achieved this, absorbing #18 shortly after doing the same to #17.

Bulma (Romaji: Buruma. In the English translation of the anime and manga it is implied that her full name is Bulma Brief (or sometimes Bulma Briefs). She is a fictional human who is the Dragon Ball series' longest appearing female character. As common in the Dragon Ball universe, family names are based on themed objects (also useful as a mnemonic device); in her case, these are types of garments. Bulma is based off of a Japanese pun that refers to bloomers (buruma), a type of gym shorts (trousers). Her Japanese seiyū is Hiromi Tsuru, and in the FUNimation English dub she is voiced by Tiffany Vollmer. Her original English voice actor for the Ocean Group is Lalainia Lindbjerg, and when the Canadian dub resurfaced, Maggie Blue O'Hara took over for Season 5.

In the early Harmony Gold English Dragon Ball dub from the 1980s, she is known as Lena.

Bulma has a very spunky, tomboyish, temperamental personality. She is quite spoiled and vain, is known for her extreme intellect, and is a genius inventor. She'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants and she won't let anything stand in her way, not mountains, not monsters, not even pride, in the form of her lover/husband Vegeta: she is in fact the only person who never seems intimidated by him (although she initially was terrified of him, she later develops a tolerance of him, and Vegeta eventually becomes the one who is terrified of her).

Rare for a cartoon character, even in anime, her hairstyle varies considerably depending on what point the narration is in the storyline. Throughout the entire series, she has 17 different hairstyles. Bulma has turquoise hair in the anime, and purple hair in the manga. Her outfit also changes often. Bulma is the only female character to be featured topless in the series.
