Riverdale Character Guide
Archie Andrews is the son of Fred and Mary Andrews and boyfriend of Veronica Lodge.
Archie is a student at Riverdale High School, a budding musician, and a football player for the Riverdale Bulldogs. His team number was number nine, given to him by Coach Clayton. This number was originally Jason Blossom's jersey, and so Archie took it upon himself to retire the jersey in Jason's honor and took the number seventeen in its place. Archie used to be the Captain of the football team but decided to defer his status as captain to Reggie Mantle after he felt more of an affinity with his music.
Archie has been best friends with Jughead Jones and Betty Cooper since childhood. Betty develops feelings for Archie, and she tells him of her feelings for him. However, he does not reciprocate her feelings and decides to stay just friends with Betty, which causes a temporary strain in their relationship. He instead is drawn to the new rich girl named Veronica, who had just moved to Riverdale from New York following the arrest of her wealthy billionaire father Hiram Lodge after he committed fraud and embezzlement.
