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". She specializes in social media, fashion design, as well as being responsible for the creation of the Love Potion.

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.

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 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 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".

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.

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. 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. 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.

• Prior to October 2022, she went by the name "Velvet" as disclosed by the series' staff, merchandise, and social media accounts. On October 31, 2022, a teaser from the Hazbin Hotel Twitter account confirmed her name would be "Velvette" for the main series. • The name "velvet" means "a closely woven fabric of silk, cotton, or nylon, that has a thick short pile on one side". Its Latin root word, villus, means "shaggy cloth" or "tuft of hair". • Her name could also refer to the color red velvet, like the color of her hair. • The color velvet often represents power and wealth, representing her status as an Overlord. • The "ette" is used as a suffix to make words feminine, representing her status as the only female member of the Vees. • According to the "Clocktower Countdown to Premiere" livestream, Velvette is the youngest Overlord in Hell. It is unclear whether this refers to the youngest by age or by length of tenure. • Velvette's nickname of "Babydoll" by Valentino was first revealed in the non-canon Voxtagram posts. • Velvette's phone case design was made by Sam Miller and is designed so the "<3" is both a heart chatspeak and stands for "3 Vees" while the patterns at the bottom corners are @ symbols mimicking the shape language of her pigtails. • According to Vivziepop, Velvette is the glue between these two very egotistical and chaotic villains, Vox and Val. • As Velvette is seen with a different look in every appearance, the only time Velvette is seen with her main outfit and hairstyle is in "Scrambled Eggs". • In "Radio Killed the Video Star", the outfit Velvette is wearing in her phone contact icon references her appearance in the pilot. • An official merchandise keychain for Halloween revealed that Velvette has seams at various points of her body similar to the articulated joints of a doll, implying that Velvette's body may be similar to a mannequin's. • Vivziepop explained on Bluesky that of the Vees, Velvette is the "less bad" but very much a villain.

During the pilot and non-canon Voxtagram stories, Velvette was approximately the same height as Vox, who is about 7 feet tall. In the series, she is shorter than Vox. In the non-canon Voxtagram stories, Vox, Valentino, and Velvette were called the "VVV Overlords". In these stories, the group regularly hung out together, where Velvette seemed to be the glue that binds the other two together.
