Velvet

Velvet is a reindeer who was chosen as The Tundra's Key Seeker. She is one of the seven playable characters in Them's Fightin' Herds.

Personality
Velvet is one of the most flamboyant reindeer of them all. However she is highly arrogant, prideful and vain, believing herself to be too delicate to perform tasks that require getting her hooves dirty. Vain and egotistical, she is completely full of herself. Although she does care about the fate of her world, Velvet knows it will be HER who will take the best to save it.

Techniques
Almost as if to flaunt her superiority to jealous competitors, Velvet’s fighting style is not only formidable, it is a vision to behold! What she lacks in brute strength, she makes up with agility, grace and finesse.

She also has considerable talent in conjuring and controlling ice and snow. The source of this magic is in the form of magic oats, which are provided by the Ice Sprites, elf-like creatures that care and pamper the reindeer of Rein and have done so for generations. Velvet's ice cold magic stops opponents in their tracks. She'll allow you to admire her beautiful sculptures, but only from a distance! Control your opponent's movement with your magical ice crystals from afar. Velvet channels her magic faster the farther she is from her opponent. Keep them out of your personal space!

Her technique could easily be mistaken for dancing, and she takes down her opponents with the utmost ease and grace.

Book of Lore
In the nation of Rein, within The Tundra region, the Deerfolk held a tournament to see who would be best for the position of Key Keeper. Velvet was among the many participants for the competition, but notably she didn't put much effort in each of the trials, much to the disgust and outrage of her fellow competitors. She is eventually pitted against a reindeer named Blitzen for the title of Key Keeper, effortlessly defeating him and winning the tournament. As Velvet bidded farewell to her people, she gained the affection of Blitzen.
