HISTORY IN-DEPTH: Link to wiki Very brief blurb summary about the character. One or two paragraphs is fine. PERSONALITY At the start of her journey, Velvet is a being who is full of anger and hate and it shows as she bowls through everyone who gets in her way or uses them to meet her goals. She does it without any remorse for the most part and doesn't stop to apologize or stop to see what consequences her actions have. In fact, sometimes Velvet will see the devastation left in her wake and then proceed to do it all over again. All of it is done with her own interest in mind and it's what carries her throughout the entire journey. At one point, Velvet's hate is pushed to the breaking point and she nearly snaps beneath it - aiming it at anyone who attempts to calm her but it isn't until Laphicet snaps back that Velvet is calmed. After that moment Velvet is not so easy to anger and has a handle on that part of it. It hasn't left her completely but she's no longer blinded by it to the point of being completely irrational. Things that had riled her up easily are now things she can take in stride, typically when she's dealing with her more irritating allies. She is also an individual who speaks rather bluntly even if her words are going to hurt the person they're spoken to. While she's never really been someone who would lie to those around her, typically she would try to find a kinder and softer way to say it. That's no longer the case, except when it comes to talking to her allies. Velvet has no problem telling people the truth in a sharp and straightforward way that can sometimes be considered cruel and cold. However, when it comes to talking with those closest to her a bit of her old warm self shines through and she does attempt to not inflict unnecessary damage with her words. Either way, Velvet doesn't have trouble expressing her opinion on any matter to either friend or foe and that is something that will be obvious within a short time of starting up a conversation. Despite her often speaking the cold truth or giving her honest opinion, Velvet is not exactly the sort who goes around talking about her own tragic past. She doesn't feel the need to justify her actions to anyone - especially not those who she just met. People aren't going to suddenly side with her just because she did suffer and now wants to make the individual responsible to pay. Velvet is allowing the world to see her as the villain in this story and doesn't bother trying to appear otherwise. Even when Eleanor joined the group, she didn't tell the exorcist anything until a long while later. She let the other teen believe that all of her actions were pure evil and didn't bother to correct any of the lies. Velvet is someone who doesn't need the pity of others, doesn't need them to know the truth of how her life was torn apart and so she doesn't share it. At least not easily. After some time has passed, she is more prone to talking about it with those she's closest to - bringing up both the good and bad parts of her past with her companions. Velvet is an incredibly selfish creature and she admits to this on many occasions. Nearly everything she does is for herself and other people have constantly gotten wrapped up in her own interests because of it. Her selfishness is way more apparent at the beginning of her journey when she begins to collect allies and enemies alike with her single-minded goal of killing Artorius. Those who are kept close to her are nothing more than tools for a long while and if she doesn't have a use for them, she will either abandon them or kill them. After she starts to grow closer to the group, the selfishness is still there but she also allows herself to show them the more vulnerable sides of herself as well. Velvet asks them whether or not they want to leave and would let them walk away if that was what they wanted and not even hold it against them. In the end, she doesn't particularly seem to care whether the world is in shambles because of her actions just so long as she has her revenge. While Velvet is technically saving the world from becoming lifeless puppets, it's hardly her motivation for anything she does. Clearly she is not a typical protagonist even if she is one in a strange roundabout way. Luckily Velvet has a group of allies who mostly feel the same way. While Velvet might not be the softest and most caring being anymore, there are times when it does show through. It's done in small, subtle ways with maybe a little fond smile or even seemingly blunt words but to those who know her well enough realize when Velvet is doing it to be cruel or as an encouragement. Velvet does care for all of her companions at little bit, some she's more willing to show than others but it's just the sort of relationship she has with them. She may appear kinder to Laphicet while picking on Eleanor or brushing Magilou off but their relationships aren't exactly all that normal so Velvet can hardly treat them all the same way. While she's confident that all of them can fight their own battles - whether it be against an opponent or themselves, there may be a rare occasion when Velvet steps in to help them. She's far from being a hero that people deserve but Velvet is sort of attached to this ragtag group and doesn't mind helping them when they really need it. However, she is not so attached that she wouldn't cut through them if they stood in her way. Thankfully it hasn't come to that so Velvet doesn't have to regret going up against them. QUIRK IN-DEPTH: Has a taste for human flesh and enjoys it the most, but mostly craves meat that's pretty raw and bloody. She's also pretty much constantly hungry which is just like how things were in canon. As the Big Bad Wolf, Velvet is very reliant on physical attacks that put her up close and personal with people. She will also be extremely attracted to the color red (red clothing, red hair/fur, red anything) and have this urge to stalk and potentially eat anyone wearing the color (though particularly Red Riding Hoods). ABILITIES WEAPON: Hidden shoe blade and daemon arm, but Velvet will also acquire a hidden gauntlet blade as well STYLE: Physical attacks, she can also eat "living" creatures whole (and then force their souls back up), partial Wolf transformation of her left arm, full Wolf transformation. The wolf will be nearly all black with a small white patch under the chin with gold eyes, also slightly larger than normal wolves. Velvet will have heightened senses such as sight, hearing, strength, agility and speed to be above average. She'll be able to perform most of her regular artes, though none of them will have the elemental factor.
