She is a tough, tomboyish character, raised with fame all around her. In keeping with the name puns of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, her name is an anagram of 'Devil'; since her father's original Japanese name is Mr. Satan (Hercule in edited dub and in Viz's censored manga, giving it the "A for all ages" label, Mark from the Super Exciting Guide). She is the wife of Gohan and mother of Pan. After blackmailing Gohan to enter the tournament and teach her the Levitate technique (Using Ki energy to fly), she gradually starts to fall in love with him, for his kind and honest heart. In her spare time, Videl helps the police and fights crime in Satan City. She becomes suspicious of Gohan after meeting him on his first day at Orange Star High School, and she even follows him for a brief time to learn more about him. Videl eventually discovers Gohan’s secret identity as the Great Saiyaman, after she and Gohan are involved in an attempt to return a baby dinosaur (Chobi) to its rightful parents, and using a blackmail-type of threat she gets him to teach her how to fly. In a matter of days, she learns how to fly, and starts to develop a liking for Gohan. She even cut her hair one day after he had suggested it (though she initially thought he just liked girls with short hair, he explained that long hair will only get in the way during a fight). There was an awkward moment when Chi-Chi asks Gohan whether he is going to marry Videl, which embarrasses him while Videl remains bemused. Despite the relentless teasing from friends (such as Kuririn, Piccolo), Videl and Gohan develop a sweet kind of relationship.

One can see her intellectual side as well. She was clever enough to figure out the true identity of Gohan's Great Saiyaman routine. She did this by tricking Gohan with some leading questions. Having discovered his true identity, she demands that Gohan promise to help her practice and master flying. It is during this time of practice that she see's Gohan for who he truly is. She starts to harbor feelings of love in the rush of the Buu Saga, and many years after Buu's defeat, she marries Gohan and gives birth to a daughter, Pan.

In Dragon Ball GT, her personality has become calmer and she has advanced herself from fighting. However, when Super #17 appears, her martial artist blood boils, and there is a scene where she transforms into Great Saiyaman 2 to fight. In the end, she has no fights against the Shadow Dragons. After the defeat of Ii Shenlong, she lives in peace with Gohan and Pan at Mount Paozu. By the end of the series she has likely died of old age, as Pan, her daughter, is shown to have a grandson.

Most likely, she is designed by Akira Toriyama, the manga's creator for her debut in Tankonbon #36 in 1993. Her car, as seen in the introduction, has "666" written on the side of it, in further relation to the Satanic references. However, she is left handed but it is unknown where or who her mother is.
