Personality: Videl is a woman of intense emotions, both good and bad. She usually comes on forcefully when making first impressions and unintentionally intimidates people with her tendency to be direct and to-the-point during conversation. She grows impatient quickly, especially when people get nervous around her or dodge her questions, but becomes defensive when she is the one under scrutiny. Anyone who sticks around Videl long enough to get past her prickly exterior will see a wider (and significantly gentler) gamut of emotions. Her abrasiveness is tempered by her selflessness and tremendous capacity to care for the well-being of other people. However, Videl does not trust easily and is slow to open up to people, so the softer aspects of her personality often go unnoticed. Although she is not easily embarrassed, a sincere and unexpected compliment is sure to make Videl blush. Unlike her father, Videl accepts praise with humility and does not outright expect it. She is comfortable having a lot of attention and press around her, but does not let it go to her head.
Videl is usually blunt and brutally honest, rarely bothering to hide her feelings or opinions when she talks to people. She can be insistent, pushy, and demanding when something or someone catches her attention. She has an opinion on just about everything and is biased to her own way of thinking, making her appear close-minded and unapproachable. Videl is stubbornly set in her ways, firm in her beliefs, and largely uninterested in changing either of them. She speaks her mind with little regard to how offensive her words might be and lacks anything in the way of tact. Despite how she seems, Videl does not intend to upset people with her forthrightness; she sometimes does not realize how harsh her words sound until they upset someone.
Videl puts all of her strength and passion to use by acting as a "Champion of Justice" for the people of her home, Satan City. She is guided by a rigid sense of justice and clearly defined ideas of right and wrong. Typically, she follows the law because it is the law, but deviates from time to time when it conflicts with her moral compass. Above all else, Videl does what she believes is right, no matter how unlawful or unpopular it may be. She feels that it is her responsibility to face down bad guys because she is stronger than ordinary people, both physically and mentally. She will throw herself into a righteous fight if she thinks she stands a chance (and even when she doesn't think that far ahead). Videl hates to feel like a victim and takes a proactive role in shaping her own fate. She is aggressively optimistic in her drive to make the world a better place, believing that any bad situation can be turned around if she works hard enough. Her stubbornness helps her face adversity and maintain a fighting spirit.
Videl is driven to succeed and holds herself to unreasonably high standards, which stem from her identity as the daughter of an esteemed fighter who is recognized (incorrectly) as the savior of Earth. For much of her life, Videl was introduced to people not by name, but as "the daughter of Mr. Satan," so her parentage is closely tied to her sense of self. Contrary to expectation she embraces this label and structures her entire identity around it, using her pedigree to justify her unwavering confidence in her strength and potential. Even though Videl has become a strong fighter in her own right, it is as much her parentage as her pride that blinds her to the possibility of failure. She has high expectations of herself and will not settle for anything less than her best effort, rigorously pushing herself to meet impossible standards. Once she has a goal in mind, Videl keeps trying to reach it no matter how many times she fails--a stubbornness that once nearly lead to her death.
Inquisitive by nature, Videl feels like she needs to know about everything going on around her, no matter how minute the detail. She hates to be told "you don't need to know" or "it's none of her business." Keeping a secret from Videl is a sure-fire way to get her digging into your business and she is not above stalking people who arouse her suspicions. Videl is observant, perceptive, and attentive of details. She is always keeping an eye out for things that seems against the norm and grows suspicious easily. Videl is a skeptic who needs to see concrete proof in order to believe in certain things. She looks down upon superstition because she believes that everything can be proven---if it can't be proven, you haven't tried hard enough yet. Since meeting Gohan, Videl has been forced to realize that there are some exceptions to this rule, but she refuses to accept oddities easily. Her inquisitive nature is not limited by skepticism; when a subject catches her interest, Videl will pursue it with the full force of her personality.

Writing Sample I have this communication network post and reply threads from a previous RP that Videl was in. I feel like it's a decent expression of her voice, but, as the result of two canon updates, it's a little weird. I can provide a fresh sample if this isn't suitable.
