Velma Dinkley is the smartest member of Mystery Inc.

Interests[]

She has a large home with at least one servant, where she maintains a Mystery Museum with a collection of costumes and other memorabilia from their old cases.[1] She also owns a beetle car.[1]

History[]

Early life[]

The fanzine Mystery Inc. Insider claimed that, as a child, Velma used to dress up as the superhero "Crime-Smacker." (There was no evidence of this other than this one unreliable source).[2]

It is stated that back when she was a kid, Velma's father used to take her to see football matches in Custer's Stadium occasionally.

Some of Velma Dinkley's high-school years were at a different school from the others, one that she calls her "alma mater." The successful football team there is called the Devils. Velma had detention at that school once (and only once) for getting into a fight with a boy named Mickey Murphy after an "overheated debate" between the math club and the science club. She apparently won the fight, because she said his pocket protector didn't protect him very well.[3] It is quite possible that it was there that Velma went to school with Annie Brewer.

She seemed to have also attended and graduated from the high school where Principal Weathers was in charge, because all of the gang are called "celebrity graduates" from there.[4] This school was Coolsville High School, which was the "alma mater" of Shaggy Rogers.[5]

  • Velma's grandfather lives in New Orleans and invited his granddaughter and her friends to celebrate the Mardi Gras with him there.
  • Velma has an aunt named Dahlia Pinkney, a successful computer game developer with a bowling alley in her home.[6]
  • Velma has an Aunt Selma, who runs a dog obedience school.[7]
  • Tavish MacDougal is Velma's third cousin twice removed. He owns a large hotel he built himself, that looks like a Scottish castle.[8]
  • Velma has a cousin from her paternal side called Dexter Dinkley whom she helped clear his name once.
  • Viveka Von Dinkley was Velma's great aunt, and she lived in a castle in Germany. Velma was called there for the reading of her will after she passed away.[9]
  • The original Victor Von Dinkley is most likely an ancestor of Velma's father, and through him she's also related to his great-grandson, Victor Von Dinkley, who's now incarcerated.
  • Velma almost burned her glasses at a ceremony to release precious material things. "These vintage glasses mean an awful lot to me. They belonged to Nana," she thought.[10]
