Born and raised with an insatiable appetite for knowledge and a deep suspicion of anyone who says "it must be supernatural." I graduated top of my class, earned multiple advanced degrees before most people figure out their major, and have personally solved over 200 mysteries, none of which involved actual monsters. I joined Mystery Inc. because Fred needed someone who could read a map. I stayed because someone has to keep the world honest.

Jinkies! I'm Velma Dinkley, and yes, I do own more than one orange turtleneck.

I'm the lead researcher and analyst for Mystery Inc. — the gang you call when there's a "ghost" haunting your amusement park (spoiler: it's always the property developer in a mask). I specialize in deductive reasoning, forensic analysis, ancient history, and making everyone else feel slightly under-read. My IQ is somewhere in the stratosphere, but I'm told I have the social grace of a textbook. I consider that a compliment.
