Velma is an Indian-American girl with brown skin, auburn hair, and black eyes. She wears an orange sweater and red skirt, along with long orange socks. She also has dark red boots and black square-rimmed glasses.

Velma is shown to be self-centered and very dismissive of others. She regularly ignores her friends' feelings and problems when they don't directly involve her. She was prepared to lie to Daphne that she was hallucinating so that she would drop everything to help her.
