Physical appearance[]
Pinkley is a middle-aged woman with a strong physical resemblance to Velma, sharing her freckles, round glasses, and hairstyle, though her hair is greyer. She wears, a purple turtleneck sweater, pink pearl earrings, and a pearl necklace, as well as crimson tights and purple flats.
Personality[]
Pinkley is a nurturing, hospitable woman who welcomed Mystery Inc. to her home, though to request their help. She is strongly superstitious and is afraid of mystical creatures, such as gnomes, and as such her former best friend, Mabel Krebs, took advantage of her superstitions to steal her designs. While Pinkley seems to lament the loss of her best friend, she believed she was right and Krebs' demand for half her company was unreasonable.
History[]
Early life[]
Pinkley owned a video game company and worked with her best friend, Mabel Krebs, but Krebs demanded half her company. Pinkley refused, insisting Krebs was merely her technician and not her business partner, and after a major fight, they separated.
Scooby-Doo (DC Comics)[]
Pinkley was troubled by her lawn gnomes moving in the night and she asked her niece and friends to investigate. She was too superstitious to move them back to their original positions because they left behind jewels, suggesting they were alive. However, Mystery Inc. deduced the culprit was trying to steal her game designs, using the garden gnomes to hide her crimes, and after confirming the jewels were glass fakes, Pinkley suspected Krebs. They later caught Krebs late at night, sending her a decoy, a terrible game that would humiliate her if she tried to sell it to a company.
