Velvette

Description

Velvette[4] (pronounced Velvet) is one of the many Overlords in Hell and is a major antagonist in Hazbin Hotel. She is a close associate of Vox and Valentino and is the self-proclaimed "backbone of the Vees". She specializes in social media, fashion design, as well as being responsible for the creation of the Love Potion.

Appearance

Velvette is a slim and rather petite demon with cedar-brown skin, and long curly hair kept into pigtails with bangs by black hair ties. Her hair is colored in a desire-red that features the insides colored in a faded dark navy-blue, and white swirled-streaks on her pigtails and one on her bangs. Her eyes have white irises, red sclera and slit-like pupils, and her makeup consists of burgundy eyeshadow on her eyelids, and black lipstick on her lips with a strip across the center of her mouth, which has fangs inside. She has seams on several parts of her body such as her elbow and knee joints.[5] Velvette's clothing is that of a set of skull earrings, and a sleeveless dark navy-blue coat with burgundy lining and two desire hearts on the left side of the fur collar (similar to the ones on Valentino's). Her coat is usually worn over a sleeveless, black turtleneck crop-top that includes two desire hearts on the chest. Her loose pants are colored in navy-blue and desire-red in a striped pattern, held by a dark navy belt with a white heart-shaped buckle. For footwear, she wore navy low-heeled shoes with white pom-poms on top. Velvette accessorized with black-striped fingerless opera gloves with alternating colors - white for her right glove and desire for her left. Velvette changes hairstyles and outfits frequently, as seen in "Radio Killed the Video Star" and "The Show Must Go On".

Personality

Velvette is the energetic, stylish and trendy type who is always up-to-date with the latest trends and technology. This is one of the main reasons why she and Vox get along quite well with each other.[6] Faustisse has also described her as being a very crazy person.[note 1] She is critical and judgemental when it comes to fashion. Velvette is also observant, such as when she notices Carmilla's expression after she pulled out the severed Exorcist's head, and suspected her to be responsible, in which confirmed her suspicions later. She is shown to be a disrespectful and overbearing employer, insulting and demeaning her employees (who are justifiably afraid of her) while barking orders at them. When her "best model" was dismembered by Valentino, Velvette showed apathy towards her, instead annoyed how she has to find a last-minute replacement because she can't wait for the model to pull herself back together. She considers herself as "the backbone of the Vees", meaning that she is more willing to put up a fight, as seen when she manages to annoy Carmilla Carmine at the meeting and when she insults and makes fun of Zestial and the other Overlords for being "old" and "too afraid to fight" when they are actually far from it. In addition, after presenting a severed Exorcists head at the meeting, she openly proposes going to war without acknowledging the lack of intelligence about how the Exorcist was killed, only being interested in going to war in order to make a "power grab".

Abilities

Clothing manipulation - Velvette is able to instantly produce and change the clothing of others in various styles and types by swiping her fingers like she swipes on a phone screen. Her hand is seen glowing with sparkles as she performs this. Head rotation - During her opening line for Respectless, Velvette, while spinning, was seemingly able to instantly rotate her head a further 360 degrees without any discomfort or need to unwind it back. It is unknown if she can apply this to other parts of her body.

Skillset

Wide intellect - She correctly deduced that Carmilla was responsible for demonkind's first known killing of an Exorcist based off her body language, anger, and silence during the Overlords' meeting. Deal-making - Although it hasn't been performed onscreen, like all Overlords, Velvette can make deals with other demons, whether having mundane conditions such as simple favors to owning another's soul. Potion-making - Velvette is stated to be skilled in preparing potions.[6] An example of this would be the Love Potion being advertised on posters and billboards in "Radio Killed the Video Star" and "Masquerade". Cooking - Velvette is said to be good with food.[6] Musical talent - She is capable of singing and even rapping. Technological skill - As someone who uses her phone and social media all the time, she has vast skill in technology.

"Oh, cut the shit, Vox. I need you up here now!" ―Velvette, to Vox, over a video call "Your little boy toy is wrecking my department while I'm trying to pull together a show and-- *gets interrupted by Valentino* Just get your ass here. Now!" ―Velvette, to Vox, about Valentino "Damn it, Valentino!" ―Velvette, to Valentino, when he's wrecking her fashion department "Ugh. No! Unacceptable. You're fired. What is this? Wrist ruffles? Is it 1750? Burn it like the witches who wore it!" ―Velvette, when critizing the fashion designers' outfits "Up in his tower, waiting for his flat-faced prince to calm him down." ―Velvette, to Vox, about Valentino "Who knows? But he tore up my best model. And you know, the show can't wait for that unlucky bitch to pull herself together." ―Velvette, to Vox "No. No. Hideous. I want to die. Eww. *gasps* Yes! That's the one!" ―Velvette, when changing the outfit on the fashion model "Of course I do. Fuck you. Now shoo! Take care of the piss baby." ―Velvette, to Vox "Well, how are we exactly supposed to stop it?" ―Velvette, during the meeting with Vox and Valentino "Someone pathetic, desperate, with no direct ties to us." ―Velvette, to Vox "Yes, I've got it handled, Vox. Are you doubting me? Really? Me? That's what I thought. Hahaha. Yes, I know. They're all a joke. Hahahah. Thank you, Vee. See you soon. Kisses, darling." ―Velvette, to Vox, over the phone "No. They have better shit to do than listen to an old windbag who thinks she's tough shit. I'm here to represent." ―Velvette, to Carmilla Carmine "On the subject of discussion..." ―Velvette, before she reveals a decapitated head of an Exorcist to the Overlords "We found it during Extermination Day. If these Holy Rollers can be killed, the game has changed. We can take the fight to them. The boys and I have come up with a full assault plan." ―Velvette, to the Overlords

Examples of phrases

"'Meager proof'? It's a dead fucking Exorcist. I'd say that's pretty fucking definitive. You going blind, old man?" ―Velvette, to Zestial "Oh, I get it. So Grandpa is too pussy to fight, so I guess there's no point, right?" ―Velvette, about Zestial "Oh. What's the matter, fossil? Too senile to make a real power grab for--" ―Velvette, before Carmilla interrupts her "♫ Haha, you've got it twisted. I'm not the one who needs a new attitude. Maybe you missed it, but I'm that #Bitch and I will do nothing less than what I please. Woo! I'm the backbone of the Vees. Mad that I acted respectless? Well, it's 'cause no one could respect this. ♫" ―Velvette, singing "Respectless" "♫ Sorry, group attendin'. Since when are Overlords too scared to fight? You're long past trendin'. Sorry, babе. But, I ain't swipin' right. ♫" ―Velvette, to the Overlords "♫ No wonder I'm so respectless, I could eat you lot for breakfast. ♫" ―Velvette, to Zestial "♫ Oops! Did I strike a nerve? 'Cause when I brought out the angel's head. Couldn't help but observe that your wrinkled face was turning red. And why are you avoidin' war? That's what the guns you sell are for. Thanks to my being respectless, one thing I'm starting to suspect is. You know why this angel's headless? Do you have a disclosure? ♫" ―Velvette, confronting Carmilla "Hmph, fine. Safe travels back to the nursing home, fuckers! Kiss my ass. Hahahaha!" ―Velvette, when leaving the meeting room with the Overlords
