Vegeta is the prince of the fallen Saiyan race. He is the eldest son of King Vegeta, the older brother of Tarble, the husband of Bulma, the father of Trunks and Bulla, and the great-great grandfather of Vegeta Jr. Alongside Goku, Gohan, Krillin, 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.
Regal, egotistical and full of pride, Vegeta was once a ruthless, cold-blooded warrior and outright killer,[6] but later abandons his role in the Frieza Force, instead opting to remain and live on Earth, fighting alongside the Z Fighters; all the while striving to become the universe's most powerful warrior, specifically with the mission to defeat and surpass Goku in power.[7] His character evolves from villain, to anti-hero, to a hero through the course of the series.
Vegeta is a slim yet well-built man of a rather short stature. His
hair is spiky and it firmly stands upwards, and has a prominent widow's
peak. Like most Saiyans, he possesses black eyes and jet black hair,
though his hair is infrequently black with red highlights in various
media (posters, trading cards, and similar merchandise in particular). A
main characteristic of Vegeta's is the fact that he is the only living
Saiyan who has continued to don the traditional Saiyan armor
over a dark blue long-sleeved jumpsuit with white gloves and boots. He
has also been seen wearing alternate forms of the armor, customizing the
armor to better suit his persona. During the Androids Saga, he now
wears an updated battle armor over a medium blue long sleeved jumpsuit
with white gloves and boots. However, once he integrates into Earthly
society, he abandons the Saiyan armor, at first gradually in Dragon Ball Z wearing a dark blue sleeveless jumpsuit while retaining the white gloves and boots, then completely in Dragon Ball GT,
in favor of clothing more characteristic of a human (Vegeta's uniform
transition is symbolic of his adjustment to a human lifestyle) such as a
crimson tank top, violet gloves, dark blue jeans and violet boots along
with a black leather sleeveless jacket. However, even after Vegeta
loses the armor in Dragon Ball Z, he is always seen wearing iconic white gloves and white boots in battle. Vegeta originally had a tail, but it was cut off by Yajirobe to remove Vegeta from his Great Ape state during the Vegeta Saga.
At the celebration party for the defeat of Kid Buu, Vegeta wears a navy
blue long sleeved shirt along with tan slacks and brown loafers.
Vegeta's hair never grows in length. He states to Bulma, in an episode of the Perfect Cell Saga, that a pure-blooded Saiyan's hair does not change from the day they are born, aside from Super Saiyan transformations.
If observed closely, Vegeta actually changes appearance physically over the course of the series. He was originally intended to appear deceptively small, lean, and less threatening in comparison to his massive partner, Nappa. 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. 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). It should be noted however that some of these changes (mainly the more defined facial and anatomical features in most male characters, and the increase in muscularity in all characters) are mainly due to a visible shift in Akira Toriyama's artistic style over the course of the series.
