Riverdale Character Guide

Veronica Lodge is the daughter of Hiram and Hermione Lodge. She is the girlfriend of Archie Andrews and the ex-girlfriend of Reggie Mantle.
Veronica is a student at Riverdale High School. In addition, she is a member of the River Vixens and Josie and the pussycats. She moved from New York to her mother's hometown of Riverdale due to her father's arrest and subsequent incarceration. She arrives in Riverdale in order to start over and leave her troubled past behind.
While living in New York, Veronica was filthy rich, popular, and fashionable. She was also a bully and a mean girl. After her father is arrested, she and her mother Hermione are forced to flee New York City and relocate to Riverdale. She struggles to find the truth behind her father's loyalties and intentions, as she fears what will happen once he is released from prison and back home with them. Meanwhile, she is also trying to reform herself into a better person.
She eventually develops friendships with all of the main characters including Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones, Josie McCoy, Cheryl Blossom and Kevin Keller. She becomes Archie Andrews' girlfriend and later on, Reggie Mantle's girlfriend.
In season 2, Veronica's father Hiram is released from jail and moves back to Riverdale to join Hermione and Veronica as a family. After Hiram is released, Veronica gets involved in the Lodge family business. However, with time, she turns against her father and finally realizes what a horrible person he is despite constantly having blind faith in him the entire time. She is now an adversary to her father and spent the majority of the third season taking her father down and successfully having him put in prison for all of the crimes he has committed in Riverdale.
Though she believed to have been the only child of her father Hiram, it's later on revealed that she has an older paternal half-sister named Hermosa Lodge, who made her first appearance in the fourth season.
