Velvet Remedy is an incredibly kind and compassionate pony, and is capable of showing compassion to creatures that many wastelanders consider to be nothing more than monsters, like Hellhounds and Alicorns. Velvet's compassion for others extends to almost anyone; the exception being Raiders, whom she views as needless bloodthirsty sadists. Velvet idolizes Fluttershy to a point of obsession. She sees her as a paragon of kindness and was partly inspired to become a doctor by her. A darker side of Velvet is shown however when she is under great stress, which Littlepip describes as being 'nasty and bitchy'. In times like this, Velvet is uncharacteristically rude to her companions, thinking poorly of them. Velvet even flirts with Littlepip in an attempt to manipulate Calamity into getting jealous; an action which greatly enraged Littlepip. Fortunately, Velvet eventually buries this part of her personality. Velvet Remedy is described as a gorgeous charcoal-coated unicorn with streaks of red and gold in her white mane and with a voice as smooth as silk and rich as finest chocolate. Velvet is aware of her beauty, and often combines it with her charisma to smooth-talk other ponies and traders into giving them better deals, or to negotiate. She even uses her good looks to seduce Littlepip on several occasions, though it was often out of playfulness and a desire to tease the younger mare, whom she knows has an immense crush on her. As a healer, the yellow saddlebags with pink butterflies containing medical supplies on her flank soon become an inseparable part of her appearance. Velvet is very good with words, both in diplomacy and convincing opposing parties, and in haggling for good bargains. She is also an exceptional singer. Her true drive, however, rests in medicine, where she has always applied with great success, and continues to by being the main team medic. She never shies away from a patient in need. Although she abhors combat, and is a poor shot, she is often forced to join the fray, armed with her combat shotgun against non-intelligent (or non-organic) threats, and with her dart gun against all the rest.
