- This article is about the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated incarnation of Velma Dinkley. For other incarnations, see Velma Dinkley (disambiguation).
Velma Dinkley is a teenage citizen of Crystal Cove and a member of the town's newest incarnation of "Mystery Incorporated". She lives with her parents who run the Crystal Cove Spook Museum for tourists interested in the hauntings of Crystal Cove.
Physical appearance
Velma has chin-length auburn hair, decorated by small red bows. Velma is always wearing thick-framed, square glasses covering her green eyes[1]and normally wears an orange sweater, with a red skirt, knee-length orange socks and red shoes.
Personality
Velma is frequently referred to as the smartest member of the new Mystery Incorporated, as well as the smartest student at Crystal Cove High. She strongly believes in finding proof and evidence before determining something is real. Velma has also been described as somewhat of a "computer whiz", and is very knowlegable when it comes to computers and research.
She pursued a relationship with Shaggy Rogers and became frustrated when he seemed more interested in his dog and in food than in her. When she thought Shaggy didn't want to take her to the prom, she actually kicked over several tombstones in a cemetery they were exploring.
After being dumped by Shaggy, she seems to take the break-up very hard and decides to ignore Shaggy and Scooby's attempts at friendship, showing she can be very bitter. Despite her history with Shaggy and Scooby, she eventually realizes that they need to work together to perform their best as part of the gang, and she admits that she would never let anything bad happen to Scooby despite the fact that her boyfriend chose him over her.
Later she and Shag
gy seem to have chemistry again, but that time it's Velma who says she doesn't feel the same way and Shaggy seems disappointed.

Notes/trivia
- Velma's interest in Shaggy may have been based on her original incarnation's younger wizard sister, Madelyn Dinkley, from Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo.
- She seems to be very strong when she's angry as seen in The Legend Of Alice May when she is able to kick tombstones out of the ground.
- She demonstrated considerable defensive martial arts training, easily dodging Shaggy and Scooby when they attacked her at once.[2]
