Velvette

"♪ 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, to Carmilla Carmine

Velvette (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".

Appearance
Velvette is a slim 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 dark navy-blue, and white swirled-streaks on her pigtails and one on her bangs.

Her eyes have white irises, red sclera and slit 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, and fangs inside.

Velvette's clothing is that of white skull-shaped earrings, and a sleeveless 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 turtlenecked crop-top that includes two desire hearts on the chest. Her set of loose-pants are colored in navy-blue and desire-red in a striped-pattern, held by a black belt with a white heart-shaped buckle.

For footwear, she wore heeled black shoes with white poms on the top. Velvette accessorized with black-striped fingerless opera gloves with alternating colors - white for her right glove and desire for her left.

Pilot
In the pilot, Velvette sported a doll-like appearance with desire and burgundy hair with a white streak on her bangs - her pigtails are noticeably messier in appearance, and it has been held by black and white frilled hair ties.

On the lower part of her eyes, she appears to wear white dripping clown-eyeliner with a white strip across her eyes.

In addition to her clothing, she sports a pimped-out, tea-length dress that is colored in white, black and desire. Her dress features short, puffed sleeves, along with black triangle and desire heart patterns located at the bottom.

Her fingerless gloves appear to be longer, and they are instead desire and white striped. She also wore black tights and desire flats with white poms on top.

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. Faustisse has also described her as being a very crazy person.

She is critical and judgy 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, which confirmed her suspicions.

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 push Carmilla Carmine's buttons at the meeting and when she insults and makes fun of Zestial and the other Overlords for being "afraid to fight".
