Information About

Velma Dinkley




''Velma Dinkley'' is a Fictional Character in the American Television Animated Series Scooby-Doo , about the adventures of four crime-solving teenagers and their Great Dane companion, Scooby-Doo .

Velma is portrayed as the resident genius of the quartet, and makes great use of her skills in such areas as reading Chinese , deciphering scientific formulae, operating communications equipment, and so forth. A running gag of the series is Velma's trouble with keeping her Glasses on her face (usually from being accidentally knocked off of her face while being chased by the villain), as she is very Nearsighted . (In fact, this only happened a grand total of four times on the original series, but somehow people seem to believe it happens in every episode). Her catchphrase is "jinkies!"

When Scooby is too afraid to volunteer for a mission (which tends to be most of the time), Velma often offers him a dog treat called a "Scooby snack" as a bribe.
