Disclaimer: there are a lot of "However.." and "Despite this.." in the original description, can check them in the link but I'm sending just the overall picture, so some of them will missing Aristocratic, feels Superior, against “those below” - "His royalty seems to have bestowed upon him an inflated sense of superiority, holding himself above nearly everyone he encounters. He is immensely proud of his Saiyan heritage and believes his race to be the most powerful in the universe. Despite this, even as an antagonist, he did not act as an ordinary Saiyan, being even crueler and prideful thanks to Frieza's influence." - Referred to his race after Frieza killed them: "they deserved it due to being too weak", which notably shocked Nappa and Raditz when he admitted it. - "He used to have bigotry towards other races, considered physical and emotional attachments to be meaningless, and admittedly was repulsed by children, especially those with mixed heritage.” Striving for being the perfect warrior, without limits - "Vegeta was fixated on achieving the legendary status of Super Saiyan and becoming the most powerful warrior in the universe." - "His attitude towards fighting also changed; instead of training to surpass Goku, he is simply training because he is curious about what his own limits are. Following his revelation at the end of the Buu Saga, Vegeta only wants to beat Goku purely to test himself rather than prove superiority." - "He will often decline to participate in family activities in favor of training, which he justifies on the grounds of enhancing his strength to protect the world." High standards and values: respect, discipline, dignity, fairness - "He raised Trunks with a combination of respect and discipline, to where Trunks avoids misbehaving in his father's presence." - "Vegeta has often been shown to have a deep dislike for fighters who use unfair methods for a fight, which shows that he is someone who prefers to fight with dignity. When Universe 2 warrior Prum acted as a sniper and tried to eliminate Vegeta (only managing to cut his cheek), the Saiyan Prince furiously insulted him, calling him a dishonorable coward and a shameless worm." - ”He also shows contempt for those who abandon their own values and code as Top, who in Vegeta's eyes was only a loser who cannot even protect his own pride. He also views Moro with disgust, stating how he takes the power of others and does not give a fair fight and the reason he does this is because his true power is extremely weak” Irritation from expectations: - "His obsession with overtaking and defeating Goku was once again ignited, but the repeated setbacks during the World Tournament by Shin and Babidi's conflict made him irritated that his fight was being unceremoniously postponed." - "He is highly disappointed with Tarble's extreme lack of fighting power despite the fact he comes from the powerful royal bloodline” Tense, not relaxed - "Vegeta tends to be hotheaded and quick-tempered during battles, especially ones not in his favor. According to Whis, the Saiyan Prince is too tense during fights and thinks too much before acting, putting a limit on his speed. Whis recommended that Vegeta needs to relax once in a while and not be so focused on training constantly since it is too intense for him to concentrate." Over-serious - "One of the most serious, rarely exhibiting humor. When he does so, his humor is often very dry and far darker than his fellow Z Fighters." - "Despite his respect and friendship with Goku, he still gets highly annoyed with his immature tendencies and is shocked and even a bit disgusted by the fact that despite having a wife (and two sons), Goku has no concept of romance" Sadistic - “Initially, Vegeta was extremely aggressive and cold-blooded. Since his childhood, Vegeta had proven himself to be a ruthless killer, merciless like most Saiyans. Throughout the first half of the Frieza Saga, whomever he defeated, he killed without mercy." (He started to show mercy with time) Too arrogant - "Though he could have easily destroyed this weaker form of Cell, his arrogance bested him, and he purposely let Cell absorb Android 18 just to have a challenge in Cell through which to test his power" -"Vegeta vehemently opposed fusion with Goku due to his pride" (but Goku managed to persuade him) Had been seen badly by others "Because of his arrogance, attitude and past wrongdoing, Vegeta gains much disdain from those around him, particularly Piccolo, Krillin, and Tien, who continually admonished him for his brutality." More traits: regal, egotistical, and full of pride, was a ruthless, cold-blooded warrior and outright killer; extremely arrogant, vengeful, rushes in the brawl without hesitation.

Biography
Vegeta is the 'Prince of All Saiyans' as his father was the King of his race (prior to their genocide). He is extremely proud, headstrong and hot-headed and prior to his character development, was also an arrogant, snobby, and murderous Social Darwinist. He is most notably, Goku's arch-rival (initially, the rivalry started off as hostile and vengeful from his side, before morphing into jealousy and eventually, genuine friendship and respect), and his life objective is to keep up with him, in regards to strength and power. Introduced in the beginning of Dragon Ball Z as the saga's main villain, he was meant to be a one-off character, before being ascended to a main cast member and eventually, the series' deuteragonist (by the end of the Majin Buu saga, and has retained that position since) due to ending up as a fan-favorite character. He is one of the most iconic and beloved shonen anti-heroes, and his rivalry with Goku has set the framework for rivalries in other shonen works.
