** One of her biggest examples of this is shown when she meets Niko's dogs; she understands why they're mad at her killing their owner, and says they can RIP her apart however they want after she kills the man who indirectly caused her to kill Niko by turning her into a therion. In her side quest, she makes a quiche with a special recipe that she always wanted to teach Niko to cook, but never could. She gives it to the dogs and says they should take that with them when they reunite with Niko in a world Velvet freely admits she can't ever go. Velvet even politely rejects Laphicet trying to console her because she doesn't think Niko would approve.

When she finally kills him, she doesn't roar with triumph or howl maniacally; she instead cries, mourning the loss of the Arthur she fell in love with.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Velvet undergoes the most changes of any character in the party not named Laphicet. She starts off as a cold, aloof, and bitter revenge-driven older sister, spurned only by her hatred for one man and uncaring of the consequences of her actions as long as they get her to him. As she grows more attached to Laphicet, she becomes a slowly DefrostingIceQueen with a slight Tsundere streak, a TeamMom outlook despite herself, and an emphasis on a JerkassFacade to keep people from getting close to her. After facing the lowest moment of her life with Innominat, she descends into a raving lunatic, violently lashing out at anything and everyone, while maniacally denying every image shown to her about Artorius' StartOfDarkness. Thanks to Laphicet, she snaps out of her predicament and finally reconciles her lingering love and seething hatred for Artorius and Innominat (whom her brother was used to reincarnate), and becomes more at peace with herself. She still wants revenge, but does it for her own sake, not for the sake of the men who tormented her all these years; her revenge becomes paired with ultimately saving the world from Innominat by arguing in favor of TheEvilsOfFreeWill; her selfishness becomes more about finding her own identity and maintaining her free will; and her ruthlessness, while still there, is toned down considerably, as she both TookALevelInKindess and TookALevelInCheerfulness. By the end, she's almost completely back to being the snarky NiceGirl she used to be as a kid, and it's a change many characters, from Tabatha and the Prince to the party all note.

** PlayedForDrama everywhere else. She still has a strong conscience and expresses genuine remorse over what she does at several points throughout the course of the game, and she often speaks out against the actions of Artorius, the Abbey, and anyone else who crossed a red line even she won't agree with.
* {{Facepalm}}: One of her emotes in the skits involve her placing her hand on her head irritably, similar to Eleanor, who looks up while Velvet looks down. The difference is that this same pose has been used to indicate frustration (like when she's trying to figure out Artorius' motive) or embarrassment (usually whenever Magilou trolls her).
* FireForgedFriends: Combined with OddFriendship, her best friend and most trusted teammate is not her brother Laphicet, but her erstwhile rival and foil Eleanor Hume, who befriends her after becoming uneasy companions by circumstance. While it applies to the whole party, it especially counts for Velvet and Eleanor as they become TheConfidant to one another. Once Eleanor's side quest is finished, she has one final talk with Velvet just before the final dungeon, and in it, Velvet even says, with complete sincerity, "We're a lucky to have you with us, Eleanor."
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: More 'Anti''-Heroic, but the point remains. Her deep guilt and remorse over what she's done, and her sincere belief that she's just a "selfish, horrible girl" for being so willing to sacrifice even the ones she loves for revenge, take a toll on her mind, as it's the one thing she can't reconcile or accept and the one thing she can't fully come to terms with. It becomes closer to self-loathing, as she rejects Laphicet's offer to turn her back into a human because she believes she doesn't deserve that humanity. The rest of the party, Eizen and Rokurou among them, argues it's that exact trait (along with her determination and ability to love and hate at once) that makes her human to begin with. Laphicet even forgives her for it, and Velvet looks just about ready to cry before thanking him.

to:
* {{Irony}}: Velvet's story While Velvet Crowe is the Chaos and Emotion to Artorius' Order and Reason, much of revenge starts because Artorius kills her brother decisions follow a coldly logical and pragmatic way of thinking. When she goes to Meirchio, she needs the nearby volcano to use as a launch pad [[spoiler:to reincarnate the Empyreans to suppress Innominat]]. She also needs to goad the Legates, the two strongest Exorcists behind Shepherd Artorius, so she can devour them and use their souls as sacrifices to that end. She reveals she's the Lord of Calamity and scare the entire town, thereby forcing the Legates to respond. Eleanor compliments Velvet for choosing not to get the villagers involved, but Velvet points out that it wasn't entirely for their sake and she upended their livelihoods already. Eleanor still thanks her for it anyway. By all measures, it was a success, as Melchior and Shigure both arrive at Meirchio, which becomes cursed by the event. [[spoiler:Velvet ends new home of the game having to fight her own brother, reincarnated as Therions and pirates working with Velvet, and the Empyrean Innominat.]]sacrifices are enacted in the volcano with no civilian casualties
* NotSoDifferent: Of all people, she's most similar to Eleanor, who has her same interests in cooking and cleaning, her same motherly nature, her same UnstoppableRage when confronted by the target of her revenge, her same liking of children, her same motivation being borne of a murdered relative, and her same guilt at accidentally [[spoiler:killing loving family members when they opposed her]], among other such traits. They were even both fans and supporters of Artorius and his ideals, of which they grew disillusioned with as reality hit them square in the face about who he really became.
* SuicideIsShameful: Downplayed. When a price-gouging dock merchant is afflicted by Innominat's free will suppression, he goes on about how he "has" to die. When she stops him, she says she doesnt much care if he wants to die, but really hates all the talk of him "needing" to die.

Dislocated shoulder on the way down? Just pop it back into place. Lose a HopelessBossFight against Artorius? Just try again, grinning eagerly audaciously at the challenge. Even if it's her own well-being, it doesn't matter to her.

Rokurou, himself a daemon with no qualms about killing a family member, thinks Velvet, a daemon-eating daemon, still has a kind of humanity that he admires, while Eizen thinks her "foolishness" is inspiring, and Laphicet says she's "also kind, and full of life," so he'll never abandon her no matter how much she scares him. Magilou even praises her for helping to give Laphicet a sense of identity, and Eleanor loses all willingness to betray Velvet after both finding out the truth of the Abbey's goals and bigger picture of Velvet's motivations and past life, reasoning that the "real" Velvet is the "normal, ordinary, loving sister" she thinks used to be in Aball.

* FriendToAllChildren: Even as the Lord of Calamity, she still cares deeply about kids. This goes beyond her brother and Laphicet. She grows to care for Kamoana, consoles her with a hug once she cries about her mom, and willingly finds and opens her chest at her request. She also encourages Laphicet to help cure Videl of his illness, and immediately insists that he should go inside his house so he doesn't get colder once she finds out he even has an illness. She also never raises her voice at the kid NPCs, unlike all the other times she does to adults and authority figures.

Nevertheless, she still resolved to fight the party so the Abbey could put the High Priest on trial instead of allowing a party of daemons and outlaws kill him.
* TheAtoner: She all but confirms this to Velvet towards the end of the game, in a more Downplayed example compared to Velvet. During a private scene between the two, Velvet dismissively suggests to "blame all the wickedness of the world" on her, but Eleanor immediately says no, because "We Exorcists are just as much at fault" for the state of the world. Her initial BlindObedience to the Abbey is something she frequently brings up, and points out that she would've fully backed everything wrong about their methods had it not been for the party letting her know the truth. So her helping Velvet defeat Artorius and ultimately save the world from Innominat is her way to make up for her time as a loyal Praetor.
