Videl is the daughter of Mr. Satan and Miguel, Videl is a beautiful fair-skinned (pale-skinned color in the anime series) young woman of very slim figure build and below average height with straight black hair that has side bangs with five loose short strands over her forehead, light-blue eyes and a slender frame yet athletic physique. She originally had low pigtails that stop at her chest, while learning to fly from Gohan. In the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, her hair is flat, and pixie cut short with cropped spiky style bangs. In her first appearances, Videl usually wears a long white shirt that went past her waist with tight black spandex compression shorts that reach her upper thighs, black fingerless gloves, purple socks, green shoes, and gold hair clips for her pigtails. These days, she wears a white T-shirt with purple sleeves, light blue short jeans, black fingerless gloves, purple socks, and green shoes. After she learned how to fly, she wears a white sleeveless loose shirt, a pink T-shirt, black spandex short shorts, black fingerless gloves, purple socks, and yellow boots. Initially, Videl is a headstrong, independent, fierce, tough, and tomboyish girl who was raised with fame all around her where she is also feisty and stubborn, much like Chi-Chi. Videl is quite perceptive as she had doubts about her father's claims of defeating Cell and correctly deduced that Gohan was both the mysterious "Golden Fighter" and Great Saiyaman, as well as ultimately coming to suspect that Gohan was the boy who fought in the Cell Games. Videl was also crafty enough to get Gohan to accidentally reveal he was Great Saiyaman, which she uses to blackmail him. She is also a competitive fighter as she blackmailed Gohan in order to get him to enter the tournament as she wanted to fight him after seeing his abilities and deduced he was the son of the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament champion due to sharing the same surname, though she also demanded he teach her how to fly to ensure it would be a fair fight, which also shows she was not fooled by her father's claims that such techniques were simple tricks. After blackmailing Gohan to enter the tournament and teach her how to fly, she gradually starts to fall in love with him for his kind and honest heart. Despite Videl and Chi-Chi's similar personalities, she did not get along with Gohan's mother at first, which was made worse by Chi-Chi's assumption that Videl and Gohan were dating, to both her and Gohan's embarrassment, and denial, though after spending time with him, she started to take a liking to him and his family. When Gohan suggests she cut her hair short, Videl blushes a bit, thinking Gohan prefers girls with short hair, but Gohan obliviously states that it's for practical reasons, since short hair would be better in a fight, she screams that her hair is her business and flies off, though she ultimately decides to follow his sound advice, much to Gohan's utter confusion. Due to being unaware of Goku's death, Videl mistakenly assumed that his father was estranged from his family until Gohan explained the fact that his father was dead and had returned to life for the tournament, which ironically was the result of her convincing Gohan to enter. Videl herself was understandably shocked by this and various other odd occurrences during the tournament, though she eventually became used to these things over the course of the Majin Buu conflict. Videl enjoys Caesar salad and Okonomiyaki, a type of Japanese pancake. She is left-handed, as seen when she pitches a baseball, and writes with her left hand, however, she is shown holding chopsticks while eating rice with her right hand, so it seems she's ambidextrous. Videl is the one of the strongest fighters of the Earth from the outside Goku's circle of friends and one of the Z Fighters supporters alongside with Bulma and Chi-Chi. She slowly falls in love with Gohan, even more when she learns that he is the one who had defeated evil Cell from seven years ago as a 11-year-old preteen in his Super Saiyan 2 form. Despite being an honest person, Videl is quick to forgive those she considers her friends and family, like forgiving Gohan, Good Buu and her father, Mr. Satan for deceiving her for so long. Videl has been highlighted various leadership skills in her methods of handling affairs with other adults. As a trusted crime-fighting, vigilante fighter in the new christened Satan City, sheltered under the belief that her father was the hero of the planet, Videl finds out the truth about her father took Gohan's credit of defeating Cell seven years ago, but she had learned that Gohan defeated Cell, therefore increasing her to have a heightened assertion in her martial arts skills. Videl fancies herself a hero of justice in Satan City and works of her own accord with the police force to take down criminals, showing an intolerance to crime and corruption. Selflessly enough to place herself into danger, even though it doesn't involve her, the woman was well acclimated to the status of "celebrity", and earned the respect of the people, who knew her and her father. But Videl is occasionally exasperated by Gohan's pure hearted obliviousness which frustrates her similar to how she reacted when he asked her to cut her hair short showing that her temper sometimes gets the better of her.
