Velvet is a black Daughter of the Amazon who first appears in issue 25. Her group does not practice the mastectomy, so that people encountering her may not believe she is a "real" Amazon. She appears to be the only one who recognizes Yorick's "voice of God" speech as a quote from Pulp Fiction, prompting Beth II to tell her she is "too smart to be running with those airheads." This seems to have made some impression, as when she is next seen in issue 54 she is acting in Fish & Bicyle Pictures ill-fated movie project, and is the ringleader in the walkout of most of the cast.
