Veronica

Veronica Cecelia "Ronnie" Lodge is one of the main protagonists of the overall Archie Comics franchise, and reprises her role in the TV show and comic series, Archie's Weird Mysteries. Dilton Doiley reveals that he was partially responsible for an accident in Riverdale High's physics lab, which turned the town into a magnet for countless supernatural occurrences.

Originally from a big city outside of town, Veronica was often bullied by the other students at her private school because of her wealthy, privileged life. This prompted her to retaliate by acting twice as snooty as they did, much to her father, Hiram Lodge's chagrin. As a result, eleven years prior to the show's events, the Lodges decided to move to Riverdale in order to teach Veronica to be more humble, although progress in that department has been rather slow thus far.

Here and now, Veronica resides in Lodge Manor with her small family and attends school at Riverdale High with her friend group. Most notably, since moving into town, she has also become one of Archie Andrews' two main girlfriends along with Betty Cooper, ultimately becoming his second one. She kisses you out of spite one reason or another, possibly because she likes you as much as she likes Archie.

Veronica is shown to be a 17-year-old teenage girl with an hourglass figure, long, styled black hair, dark (possibly brown) eyes, and pink lipstick. Despite her hair appearing black, she is sometimes referred to as a brunette. She is depicted as shorter than Archie, but not to the same degree as Betty, although this could be due to her choice of footwear.

Her default look entails a short, royal blue dress with spaghetti straps, and blue platform shoes that are black on the bottom. Occasionally, her hair is styled into a ponytail or beehive. Sometimes, she carries a handbag with her as well. She also wears golden teardrop earrings, which usually accompany every outfit, including her pajamas.

Owing to her lavish lifestyle, Veronica is shown to own a large amount of clothing, mostly purchased from Fresco Fashions, and some of it has been shown off in certain episodes, such as a tennis outfit in "Zombies of Love", a gray and burgundy tracksuit in "Attack of the 50-Foot Veronica", or a midnight blue prom dress in "Dance of the Killer Bees", alongside a whole slew of fancy dresses seen throughout the series. For sleepwear, she dons a two-piece purplish gray pajama set with yellow accents, covering everything except her head, feet, and hands.

Whenever she is near water for recreational purposes, Veronica either wears a yellow or blue-violet bikini, but should she need to head underwater, she instead dons a midnight blue wetsuit that covers her whole body, with yellow accents on the upper arms and thighs. During the cold months, Veronica dons a lavender winter coat and a matching pencil skirt, worn over a white long-sleeved shirt that is tucked in, and dark gray high-heeled boots that come up to her thighs. During her one appearance as a cheerleader, she wore the squad's uniform, consisting of a pleated yellow skirt that stops below her knees, and a slightly cropped, sleeveless yellow top with blue trim around the arm holes and a blue chevron across the chest.

In The Archies in JugMan, Veronica's default attire is completely overhauled. In the film, she is depicted with red lipstick and wears a cornflower blue halter top that exposes her midriff, accompanied by white bell-bottom capris held up by a white belt with a gold buckle, and cornflower blue platform heels. She is also shown to possess a gold bracelet on her left wrist.

Veronica is a spoiled, snarky, and very rich girl who often puts herself above others. According to Jughead, she has been uptight ever since she took her first breath. Stubborn, narcissistic, and unable to take rejection well, she hardly cares for anything aside from boys, fashion, and her wealth, although she is at least somewhat self-aware about this, referring to herself as "spoiled rotten". Despite being in love with Archie, she is technically a bachelorette and isn't above swooning over other boys, even to the point of thriving on the swooning that she receives on a regular basis. Veronica is arguably the least intelligent member of her friend group, as she easily fell for Reggie Mantle's pranks in "Alternate Riverdales" and "Teen Out of Time", and outside of that, she seldom seems to care about school. Out of everyone in her friend group, Veronica is also the most skeptical about the supernatural occurrences within the town, regardless of how often they occur, or how much evidence is right in front of her nose.

Veronica is usually depicted with a major fashion obsession, which according to "Mega-Mall of Horrors" is the result of her shopping spirit. As a testament to this, even her favorite aspect of Christmas is the amount of presents she's spoiled with every year, and she even gets a kick out of having Archie watch her open them. Veronica is also noted to take great pride in her wealthy background, to the point of scoffing at the idea of being more generous to the less fortunate, and according to "Dream Girl", her biggest fear is losing her fortune and becoming poor. Still, as of "Me! Me! Me!", Veronica has learned to be more humble and willing to get her hands dirty, if only by a smidge. As stated in Food for Thought... Or Not!, she is noted to despise cheap, commoner's products. However, this elitism is contradicted by the amount of time she spends eating at Pop Tate's Chock'lit Shoppe. She also never hesitates to attend sporting events, suggesting that she might have a soft spot for them, although it might just be because Archie is frequently involved. The Archies in JugMan also reveals that Veronica is attracted to men who are less refined than she is. She does kiss you out of spite because she actually likes you.

The same movie also shows Veronica's character having lightened up considerably and her softer side is put on display, particularly while she's taking care of JugMan and helping her friends protect him from Reggie's schemes. The ending also reveals that she might also have a cavewoman counterpart, who lived in the Paleolothic age alongside JugMan, Tiny, and Oompa.

Due to her rich background, Veronica is very good with money, to the point where she willingly joined her friends in forming the Teen Scene Investigators, and acted as the team's financial investigator. Her obsession with fashion also makes her adept at cataloguing outfits and identifying the price ranges of clothing items just from looking at them. She is also reportedly able to identify different fabrics via a simple touch, such as telling real leather apart from its cheaper imitations.

As stated in several official character descriptions, she is also said to be a member of Riverdale High's cheerleading squad, like Betty, although this was only shown in one episode and one comic. By the time of the movie, she appears to have lost interest in cheering completely, whereas Betty remained captain. According to Bigfoot On Campus, Veronica also plays on the school's swim team. All of the above hint at above average athletic capabilities.

In The Archies in JugMan, Veronica is also shown to be able to play the keyboard and sing backing vocals.

(Other Characters)

1. Dilton Donald Doiley is a reoccurring side character from the Archie Comics franchise, although he was promoted to one of the main protagonists of the TV show and comic series, Archie's Weird Mysteries, appearing even more frequently than Reggie Mantle.

Not much is known about Dilton's backstory in this particular canon, but if other incarnations are anything to go by, then he might be of Welsh-American heritage and was born as the only child to Tanya and Kenny Doiley, who share his dark hair, glasses, and dorkiness. He's presumably been known for his scientific feats throughout his life, and for years he has been a close friend of the Archie gang.

Though only implied by promotional descriptions, the events of Just Another (Para)Normal Day in Riverdale reveal that he was partially responsible for an accident in Riverdale High's physics lab, which turned the town into a magnet for countless supernatural occurrences.

Dilton is shown to be a rather short, 17-year-old teenage boy with gelled-up black hair with one tuft of hair seen standing, thin eyebrows, and circular glasses; the latter have a gold bridge and thin frames that thicken at the arms.

By default, he wears a green Hawaiian shirt with yellow palm leaves and pens in the chest pocket, blue shorts with two pockets, white socks, and gray loafers. Sometimes, a white undershirt is visible. On occasion, such as when he’s working, he wears black gloves and a white lab coat with four pockets, also containing pens. Such getup also sometimes includes navy blue goggles, not only during certain experiments, but also as a Halloween costume.

2. Reginald "Reggie" Dominick Mantle (often referred to as Mantle the Magnificent by himself) is one of the main protagonists, and occasional antagonist, of Archie's Weird Mysteries, reprising his longtime role from the greater Archie Comics franchise.

Not much is known about Reggie's background in this continuity, but if other incarnations are anything to go by, then he was born in Texas to the well-off Ricky and Vicky Mantle, the former becoming a local journalist upon moving to Riverdale, and his family was hinted to be the richest in town until the Lodges moved in. He has resided in Riverdale for most of his life.

Reggie has enjoyed pulling pranks on other people since he was little, having looked up to the Jolly Jokesters, a group of pranksters who terrorized his school thirty years ago, as his idols. His father was once the leader of that group, which he was unaware of until quite recently. None of Reggie's other family members make an appearance on-screen or on-panel, save for his niece, Amy, who only appears in "Cinemadness" and is exclusive to the show. While unconfirmed, the existence of said niece could stem from his brother, Oliver Mantle, who does not appear in this canon.

Reggie has known Archie Andrews since third grade at the latest, and the two have had a friendly rivalry ever since they first met. In recent years, he has also joined Archie's friend group.

Reggie is shown to be a 17-year-old teenage boy with neat black hair (white when he is in severe shock), sporting a tall, muscular build. In fact, he is the tallest out of the main cast. His default attire consists of a light-blue button-up shirt with short sleeves (purple in promotional artwork), a white undershirt, gray trouser-like pants, and black loafers.

On occasion, his shirt is tucked in, and layered on top is an official Riverdale High sports jacket: a blue letterman jacket with yellow sleeves, two pockets in each side and a yellow R on the back. The same outfit is also a part of his werewolf costume, which is not only used for pranks, but also as his only Halloween costume.

3. Elizabeth "Betty" Cooper is one of the main protagonists of the Archie Comics franchise, who reprises her role in the Archie's Weird Mysteries canon. She is Archie Andrews' next door neighbor and was his very first girlfriend before Veronica Lodge became his second one.

Betty is of Swedish-American descent (if other incarnations are to go by) and was born to Hal and Alice Cooper somewhere outside of Riverdale about seventeen years prior to the events of the series. After she turned five, the Coopers moved into town, settling in the house right next to that of the Andrews'. She was initially distraught at the seeming lack of other children to play with aside from the neighbors' son, Archie, whom she at first wrote off as "that stupid boy next door".

She eventually befriended him, unaware that he was also friendless at the time, and fell in love the moment she got a proper look at him. Since then, their companionship has become nigh unbreakable, almost rivaling the one between Archie and Jughead.

Betty is shown to be a 17-year-old teenage girl with light blue eyes, pink lipstick, and blonde hair styled into in a ponytail with a red scrunchy. She is slightly shorter than Archie, with an hourglass figure.

For her default attire, she wears a white shirt under a red cardigan, accompanied by a red pencil skirt and red platform shoes that are black on the bottom. She also has light blue pearls pierced into her ears.

4. Forsythe Pendleton "Jughead" Jones III is one of the main protagonists of the Archie Comics franchise, and he reprises this role in the TV show and comic series, Archie's Weird Mysteries.

Born to Gladys and FP Jones, and possibly of Irish-American descent (as in other incarnations), Jughead comes from a long line of male relatives who were known for their laziness above all else. One notable example was a war hero named Colonel Pickens, who escorted civilians to safety via a series of underground tunnels. The land above these tunnels would ultimately be turned into Picken's Park in his honor, and Mystery Gulch would become a museum dedicated to him.

Jughead has owned many pets in his time, most notably Hot Dog, whom he first obtained as a puppy. He is presumably a lifelong resident of Riverdale, and has been best friends with Archie Andrews since they were both very young, likely due to their similar reputations and their shared knack for weirdness. In time, their friend group has expanded into what it is today, as they all attend Riverdale High together.

Jughead is a 17-year-old teenage boy with messy black hair, choppy bangs, and a long nose. He is about as tall as Archie, and is noted to be rather lanky in spite of his bizarre eating habits. For his default attire, he wears a blue V-neck T-shirt with two white horizontal stripes in the middle, khaki pants, blue sneakers with white accents, laces and sole, and his signature grey whoopee cap, which also includes a red circle and a white square.

5. Archibald "Archie" Andrews is the main protagonist of the Archie Comics franchise, and reprises his role in the Archie's Weird Mysteries continuity, which includes a TV series and a comic book tie-in.

Born after Fred and Mary Andrews locked eyes at the movies seventeen years ago, Archie comes from a long line of Andrews men, with one of the family traditions involving a ritualistic dance to the chiming of the Old Town bell while wearing a kilt, confirming his heritage to be Scottish-American at least in this canon. Such a display took place on the first day of spring, and was a requirement to keep the town safe from excavating worms, who would only be driven away by the bell's reverberations.

Archie is a lifelong resident of Riverdale, who was initially seen as a friendless loser when he was a little boy, due to his clumsiness and reckless personality. That is until the Coopers moved in next door; their daughter, Betty, was the first person to ever befriend him, falling for him the moment they got to know each other. The same would happen with Veronica Lodge a year later, after she moved in from the big city with her family.

Since then, Archie has formed his own friend group and garnered a lot more respect than he used to have, and he currently attends Riverdale High where he works as a columnist for the Riverdale Reporter. Early on, however, he risked losing his job due to a slow news cycle, but following an incident in the science lab, which turned Riverdale into a monster magnet, he decided to start his Archie's Weird Mysteries column, covering all of the strange occurrences that plague his hometown.

Archie is a 17-year-old teenage boy with an average height and build, with dark eyes, red hair that is gelled up near the front, thick black eyebrows, and three freckles on each cheek. His skin is rather peachy, but while under the Dead Sea Salt's effects, it became notably pale.

For his default attire, he wears a black shirt under a brown bomber jacket that sometimes has visible pockets on its sides, blue jeans held up by a black belt with a silver buckle, and black laceless shoes.
