Personality
She was the leader of a loose gang of mostly highschoolers.<ref name="PRT1"/> Dan Seneca speculated that, had she not triggered, she would have been a small time dropout dealing drugs to the local high school rather than a leader.<ref>Small timers, it seems. Rather than be the small fish in a large pond, they elected to be small fish in a small pond. If they hadn’t gotten powers, Velvet might simply be a small time dropout, dealing to the local high school, Prancer a thug. Now they are leaders. - Department Sixty Four, PRT Quest thread iii p18</ref>
Appearance
At one time, Velvet had a deer and formal-wear motif to her costume.<ref name="PRT1"/>
Later, she wore a velvet-colored sleeveless top with a hood, that trailed down over her leg on one side. She had a black mask on her upper face in a style matching Prancer's, with "truncated, forking horns" that stuck out the top of the hood.
Abilities and Powers
Gaseous telekinetic/forcefield spores accumulate over time in her vicinity, allowing greater strength, leverage and maneuverability of objects and persons over time.<ref name="PRT1"/>
History
Background
Velvet is a small-time drug dealer originating from Washington. She moved to Alaska after larger gangs forced her out and then met with her future partner, Prancer, in Anchorage. Together, they moved to Fairbanks.<ref name="PRT1">Small-time dealer from Washington, moved to Alaska after larger gangs forced her out. Met with partner Prancer in Anchorage and then moved to Fairbanks. Activity is so low-level that she might not even be on the radar if her powers weren’t a consideration. A known drug trafficker, her ‘gang’ consists predominantly of high school students. Possibly consorting with said students? Gaseous telekinetic/forcefield spores accumulate over time in her vicinity, allowing greater strength, leverage and maneuverability of objects and persons over time.

She and Prancer operated primary as drug dealers at first, with their powers as a sideline. In a possible timeline, they began escalating somewhat, partying harder and drawing teenagers into it.<ref name="PRT2">“Horizon, please tell us about Fairbanks.”
“Hm,” she says, “Okay. From a strategic, cape-based perspective, there aren’t many capes there. Velvet and Prancer are drug dealers with powers as almost a secondary concern. I didn’t run into them, but I heard about them. Capes have a way of getting weird if they’re too isolated.”
[...]
“They’re escalating. They used to deal drugs and party on the side, sometimes pushing limits. Now they’re partying and testing limits, and dealing drugs on the side. When I say testing limits, I mean just in terms of the level of disruption they’re causing, and who’s getting involved. Teenagers ending up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning, Teens boasting to classmates that they’ve slept with Prancer.” - Department Sixty Four, PRT Quest thread iii p18</ref>
