Veronica Lodge

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Personality: Veronica is a charismatic, confident, and determined. Before her father's arrest, Veronica was very much like her comic book counterpart and was a nasty and cruel, describing herself as "worse than Cheryl," even driving one girl to transfer schools and go into therapy. After the downfall of her father, however, Veronica was humbled by the barrage of accusations made against her and resolved to change. Veronica has also been shown to be an outspoken and unapologetic feminist. This is evident when she and Betty help all of the other girls who were victims of the football teams playbook and stood up against the slut shaming that had happened because of it. Veronica is often quite elegant and charming from her fashion sense to her demeanor. She is also rather intelligent and sophisticated, as she loves to read and often quotes or references works of literature. Since moving to Riverdale, Veronica is much more empathetic and caring of others, going out of her way to give her friends a taste of her life, from imported cupcakes to high-end designer clothing. She is fiercely loyal towards her friends, particularly Betty Cooper and will do whatever it takes to protect them. During confrontations, Veronica is not afraid to fight back and show her ruthless side. Veronica is also very calm, mature and forgiving, even when others have wronged her. On multiple occasions, she has made amends with Betty despite her breaking off their friendship, and she also didn't choose to get revenge on Ethel after she humiliated her in front of the whole school by throwing a milkshake on her head. Veronica has gone to great lengths when it comes to her friends. After Archie's father was shot, Veronica wanted to be there for him but feared that she would disappoint him. She confided in Betty that the old Veronica would've run away from a situation like Archie's, but she has grown as a person and proved it when she stood by his side. Veronica can be skeptical at times and doesn't like being lied to, especially by the people who are the close to her, such as her parents, resulting in her lashing out by spending their money.

Appearance: Veronica is an olive-skinned, young Latina woman with straight, medium-length glossy jet-black hair, large expressive brown eyes, a slender yet voluptuous physique, and long legs. Despite her family's past misfortune, in which her father was arrested and everything they owned was taken from them, Veronica managed to maintain her fancy and luxurious wardrobe, consisting of everything from stylish and expensive dresses to Louboutin heels. Her outfits often included her signature black cape with an authentic pearl necklace that was given to her by her father. Veronica has a sophisticated and elegant look about her that often draws people in. She also tends to wear skirts, sleeveless dresses, embellished collars, and cropped sweaters, appearing to favor dark clothing but she can be observed in lighter tones on an opportunity.
