Veronica is the beautiful, stylish daughter of Hiram Lodge , the richest man in the fictional city of Riverdale , and his wife Hermione Lodge . In the more recent comics, it has been mentioned that their family moved to Riverdale so that Mr. Lodge could avoid Veronica becoming spoiled, like many of the children he knew and grew up with. Veronica often sports what seems to be a heavy, affected Southern accent. Her character was added to the mix of Archie Andrews , Betty Cooper , and Jughead Jones just months after these characters debuted, and her features and personality have changed perhaps less than any other character in the series. Veronica enjoys a very posh lifestyle, but chooses to hang out with her poorer friends, in part to try to win the love of Archie Andrews . Sometimes she shows a great deal of interest in Archie, sometimes he must work to earn her interest, and sometimes she is not interested at all. By the 1960s, Veronica, along with her best friend and love rival Betty Cooper , joined Archie's band The Archies ; Betty plays the Tambourine , while Veronica plays the Organ , and both girls sing accompaniment. Veronica frequently bounces back and forth between Reggie Mantle and Archie Andrews when she dates, since she feels strongly about Archie, but Reggie has the wealth and possessions that she craves, as well as an ego and love of himself that rivals hers. Sometimes good-hearted, sometimes spoiled and vain, the fashion-conscious Lodge is the star, alongside Betty, of ''Archie'' spin-offs '' Betty And Veronica Magazine '' and "Betty and Veronica Spectacular," as well as her own title, "Veronica". Her foibles are commonly featured in stories: she has no talent for cooking and other feminine skills are usually lacking, although she is the classic impulse, hard-core shopper and often addicted to gossip. Her sports abilities vary from "total klutz" to superstar status. Veronica has a cousin, Leroy, aged perhaps 8-12, whose treehouse, complete with an elevator, was built for him by a contracting company. Veronica also has a cousin named Marcy, who is very different than Veronica. Marcy enjoys science fiction and other things that Veronica finds "geeky". Every time Veronica runs into her, she has to make a point to call her "my annoying cousin Marcy." Most of the time when Marcy appears she helps out Veronica, and in turn Veronica discovers that her cousin isn't so geeky after all. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
