Well, mages don't usually tank hits. I think Velvets going to stay away from combat and support her team - Blades does the damage, The big guy tanks, Googles... is there (I mean, I was guessing that she had a bow, but her purse had bullets on the strap), and Velvet supports. Seems pretty effective. But I doubt Velvet could stand too many hits on her own.

Plus, Velvet doesn't seem like the type that's been made tougher by her hard life. She seems like the type that's learned to be quiet and avoid conflict, rather than to invite and fight it. You know, doge, hit the baddies from range, don't murder CRDL when they bully her, etc, as opposed to flipping them off and trying to fight them all alone.

If she had a different personality and/or fighting style *coughYangcough* I could easily see her tanking hits, but as it stands, looking at her physical build, personality, and "class", I don't see it.
