Her parents pushed her from an early age to excel in her studies, resulting in hundreds of awards for outstanding achievement. In the film Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster, it is revealed that her middle name is Daisy.Īccording to Scooby-Doo: Behind the Scenes, before she said "Jinkies!", Velma just said, "Oh, my!" Velma says it was not that catchy the catchphrase originated from Shaggy. However, by The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Velma is said to have graduated from a different high school (as stated in the episode "Spirited Spooked Sports Show"). In the original flagship Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! series, Velma attended the same high school as the rest of the gang (as stated in the inaugural episode "What a Night for a Knight"). Like all of the Scooby-Doo kids, later ret-conned as Mystery Incorporated members, Velma has differing personal backgrounds and histories in different series. She given the nickname "Velmster" in the 2002 Scooby Doo film. This is particularly evident in the films Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost and Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island, in which she discounts ghosts and zombies (which are real within the context of the franchise) that could not be unmasked by claiming they must be hallucinations. Velma is the most skeptical of the gang and is most likely to discount any paranormal explanations to their mysteries.

Ī running gag in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and The New Scooby-Doo Movies is Velma's severe nearsightedness and her trouble with keeping her glasses on her face (often resulting in them falling off while she is being chased by a villain), saying "My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!" whenever she accidentally loses her glasses.
Velma Dinkley was inspired by the brainy sweater girl Zelda Gilroy, as played by Sheila James, from the late 1950s/early 1960s American sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. In Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo, Velma is described by her younger sister Madelyn as having been "born with a mystery book in her hand." Due to her intelligence and problem-solving abilities, Velma is typically the first one to solve the mystery and, like Sherlock Holmes and many other fictional detectives, often keeps her conclusions secret till the end of the story.

She is also often portrayed as being very well-read on obscure fields such as Norse writing (as in the third Scooby-Doo series The Scooby-Doo Show). Throughout her various incarnations, Velma is usually portrayed as a highly intelligent young woman with an interest in the sciences.
