==Biography==
===The Book of Lore===
After the Council of Ungulate's call to the factions of Foenum to send their most capable member to find The Prophet's Key, the city of Rein, the Deerfolk's capital, held a tournament to determine who their champion would be. One of the contestants is Velvet, who does poorly throughout most of the competition, causing the onlookers to doubt her capability. She doesn't seem to mind however, and eventually is set to face off in a battle against Blitzen, one of the Tundra's strongest reindeer. To everyone's surprise, Velvet is able to outsmart her opponent and use her agility and potent ice magic - of which every reindeer has varying degrees of due to their Winter Sprite caretakers feeding them magical golden oats - to win the battle, crowing her as the Tundra's Champion.
===Story Mode===
====Chapter 1====
Arizona journeys to the city of Rein to look for clues about where to find The Prophet's key. As she's examining an ancient artifact depicting The Horned One sealing away the Predators in Rein's museum, Velvet approaches her, talking about the artifact. She briefly scolds one of her Winter Sprites for giving her pumpkin spice flavored tea, demanding it go get her gingerbread flavored tea instead, before resuming the conversation. When Arizona tells the reindeer that she's the Champion of the Prairie, Velvet reveals that she's the Tundra's champion and insists that they battle to determine who is superior. Before they fight however, one of the museum's staff members tells them to take their fight outside, to which the oblige.
The two do battle just outside the museum, with Velvet getting more desperate and her attacks getting stronger the closer Arizona gets to victory. She's eventually defeated by the young cow, storming off in frustration and embarrassment.
==Appearance==
Velvet is a lithe, light brown reindeer with a cream-coloured snout and underbelly. Her eyes are light blue, and her antlers and small hooves are teal. She has large ears that are pink inside and dark brown along the edges, very thin legs, and a short, fluffy tail. She has a large amount of fluff (or "floof", as she calls it) that she's very prideful in.
==Personality==
Velvet is very uptight and egotistical, usually making snide comments to anyone she considerers below her. She's also very proud of her looks, becoming distraught when she chips a hoof and expressing extreme jealousy toward Paprika for being fluffier than her.
==Trivia==
*Like the other initial main characters, she was designed by Lauren Faust as a replacement for the Mane 6 from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic after the fangame Fighting is Magic was taken down by Hasbro for copyright infringement. Velvet herself is based off of Rarity.
*Velvet and Arizona were the first two characters ever revealed.
*None of the other Deerfolk including her family speak with a German accent and it disappears whenever she's angry, heavily implying that she's faking having an accent.
*Originally her magic recharged the farther away she was from the opponent, though this was changed for being too restrictive.
*Her 640, Aura and Ice and Fire pallets are based off of the Pokemon Virizion, Xerneas, and Braixen respectivley. The name of her Virizion skin is a nod to Virizion's number in the National Pokedex.
*Her Below Zero pallet is based off of Sub Zero from Mortal Combat.
*Her VIP pallet is based off of Margaret and/or Elizabeth from Persona.
