Velma Dinkley (Earth-3)

Velma Dinkley (b.06/25/1980) is a senior at Fayetteville High School's North Campus in Fayetteville Arkansas who aspires to be a detective of some sort in her life to get away from her family's boring lives as local business owners.

Early Life:
Born Velma Demetria Dinkley in Briarwood Arkansas, Velma's family moved upstate to Fayetteville before her first birthday so that her father could take advantage of a business opportunity that would become very lucrative to the family early on. Unlike many of her family's counterparts, Velma's family didn't spoil their children or flaunt their wealth but instead used it wisely to help the college town thrive with its unique cultural flavor-such as the addition of the Starlight Drive-In theater in 1985 and bringing more jobs in via Galaxy News Radio among other things. Velma's family did however encourage their older daughter's education.

Born with a slight thyroid imbalance, Velma has always struggled with weight issues throughout her life but with the help of friends like Kelly DeWitt-Kane, Kimberly Gordon, Simon Gotch, and Scott Barringer over the years has helped to improve Velma's self-image and even though she has lacked any real actual relationships throughout her junior high and high school years, Velma has no less been confident.

Naturally intelligent, Velma discovered early on in her young life that she has a natural knack for problem solving and she decided that she would eventually become a detective, soaking up as many books and videos that she could about famous detectives and cases over the years until she has become almost a walking trivia book on the subject.
