| ~ Norville ending his friendship with Velma. |
Norville Rogers is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Daphne) of the 2023 HBO Max animated show Velma.
He was voiced by Sam Richardson.
Appearance[]
Norville is an African-American teenager with brown skin, black hair and black eyes. He wears a green V-neck T-shirt with brown pants, and black shoes.
Personality[]
Out of the main characters, Norville is probably the most well-adjusted and better-natured because he's not spoiled horribly by his parents (unlike Fred), not insecure about his family situation (unlike Daphne), and he's altruistic (unlike Velma). However, his known flaw is leniency. Norville is way too nice and forgiving for his own good and is all too willing to put up with Velma's selfishness out of love for her. When he and Gigi start dating, she suggests that he cut Velma out of his life so he can learn to stand up for himself because she's taking advantage of him. He and Gigi eventually break up because Gigi finally accepts that Norville doesn't like her as much as he likes Velma.
Despite normally being a hero, he engineered heroics when he pretended to be a savior of a child when he in fact pushed her off the pier.
Story[]
Velma is implicated when Brenda is lobotomized, and is tasked with clearing her name within twenty-four hours, despite having guilt-driven hallucinations about mysteries since her mother went missing. After hearing from Norville that it might be connected to a missing camera and a cover-up in the malt shop bathroom, she suspects Sophie is involved, but she is soon proven innocent. Velma and Norville sneak into his mansion and find the latter's camera, revealing Fred was the one who covered up the evidence. Fred explains he is simply embarrassed about being a late bloomer and seemingly plans to kill Velma, but actually just wants to buy her silence.

Trivia[]
- When Velma was first announced, Norville became a bit of an online meme due to his comedic contrast to every other iteration of Shaggy.
