Majin Vegeta showing affection to Trunks,during his battle with Buu. He is immensely proud of his Saiyan heritage and believes his race to be the most powerful in the universe. His royalty seems to have bestowed upon him an inflated sense of superiority, holding himself above nearly everybody he encounters. Vegeta is haughty, arrogant, and bitter as a result of the destruction of his home planet, Vegeta, and the abuse his race suffered at the hands of Frieza.

Vegeta's facial features also look more distinct and sharply defined as the series progresses, making him look older (though this may be attributed to gradual aging). However, by the end of Dragon Ball Z, he seems to be taller and more muscular, the length of his hair having also been shortened, though he is still comparatively shorter than Goku, who also appears to have grown taller. He was originally intended to appear deceptively small, lean, and less threatening in comparison to his massive partner Nappa. If observed closely, Vegeta actually changes appearance physically over the course of Dragon Ball Z. He states to Bulma, in an episode of the Perfect Cell Saga, that a pure-blood Saiyan's hair does not change from the day he is born, aside from Super Saiyan transformations. Vegeta in his first appearances on Earth as he prepares to do battle with Goku Vegeta once had a tail, but it was cut off by Yajirobe to remove Vegeta from his Great Ape state during the Vegeta Saga. (It should be noted that Vegeta's uniform transition is symbolic of his adjustment to a human lifestyle) However, even after Vegeta loses the armor in Dragon Ball Z, he is always seen wearing iconic white gloves and white boots in battle. This may be because his new levels of power eliminate any practical need for fabricated battle armor. He has also been seen wearing alternate forms of the armor, customizing the armor to better suit his persona however, once he integrates into Earthly society, he abandons the Saiyan armor, at first gradually in Dragon Ball Z, then completely in Dragon Ball GT, in favor of clothing more characteristic of a human. He also is the the only saiyan left that actually knows life on Planet Vegeta.

A main characteristic of Vegeta is the fact that he is the only living Saiyan who has continued to don the traditional Saiyan armor (in reference to his heritage). His hair firmly stands upwards, and has a prominent widow's peak.

He was once a young member of the Saiyan Army under the Planet Trade Organization, but after his race's demise he used to work alongside Nappa, and Raditz, directly under Frieza. Aside from Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo, he is easily one of the most prominent characters in the series, receiving more character development after being introduced than a number of other characters.

He is the husband of Bulma, and the son of King Vegeta, the father of Trunks and Bulla, the estranged brother of Tarble, the brother-in-law of Gure, and the great-great grandfather of Vegeta Jr. Vegeta (ベジータ, Bejīta), or Prince Vegeta is the Prince of the fallen Saiyan race, one of the main antagonists but later on, one of the of the major protagonists in the Dragon Ball Z series, and arch rival to Goku.
