Velma Dinkley is the bespectacled resident genius of Mystery Inc., often being the one to decipher the clues and solve the crimes.When she found some unappetizing chicken at the Addams Family mansion, she said "it's time to start my diet." While this may be an excuse, the phrasing "my" rather than "a" implies that she may diet regularly, perhaps self-conscious of her weight. She loses her glasses on a regular basis, immediately claiming, "My glasses. I can't find my glasses" or "I can't see without my glasses," before hitting the floor to crawl around until she finds them. She is a very serious skeptic and has a philosophy that they're always a rational explanation (and admits that it's kinda boring).
