While there isn't a character explicitly identified as "the blind girl" in the Scooby-Doo franchise, the character most notably associated with significant visual impairment is Velma Dinkley. Her iconic trait of frequently losing her glasses renders her effectively unable to see clearly, often leading to humorous situations.
Velma is renowned for her sharp intellect and her role as the lead investigator of Mystery Inc. She is consistently the one who deciphers clues and unravels the mysteries, despite her visual challenges. Her reliance on her eyeglasses is a defining characteristic, making her instantly recognizable to fans.
Velma Dinkley: The Brains of Mystery Inc.
Velma Dinkley is one of the five original members of the Mystery Inc. gang, alongside Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Shaggy Rogers, and the titular Great Dane, Scooby-Doo. She often serves as the intellectual powerhouse, meticulously piecing together the puzzles behind the supposed supernatural occurrences.
Here are some key details about Velma Dinkley:
| Detail | Description |
|---|---|
| First Appearance | "What a Night for a Knight" in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (September 13, 1969) |
| Created By | Joe Ruby and Ken Spears |
| Role | Investigator, highly intelligent, often solves the mysteries |
| Notable Trait | Known for her nearsightedness and frequently losing her glasses, making her unable to see without them |
Her well-known catchphrase, "My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!", perfectly encapsulates her visual challenges. While not medically blind, her dependence on corrective lenses means that without them, her vision is significantly impaired, which is often a source of comedic relief in the series.
