She occasionally does cheerleading, but is not portrayed as a cheerleader in all of the books. It is hinted that she may be interested in getting a job which involves her designing clothes or running a clothing store. Being extremely knowledgeable about fashion, she jumps at whatever chance she gets to model clothing. She is also an expert in the game of billiards, often trumping both Betty and Archie in the games they play at her home pool table. Veronica is very good at math and economics, and is thought to inherit her father's company when she comes of age. She has a short temper, and usually only gets extremely mad when she finds out that Archie has been cheating on her with Betty. However, when Veronica gets mad, she is unstoppable and impossible to calm down, despite any good things that may happen. She has contributed to various charity causes. She often gives Betty her spare clothes she doesn't use and uses her wealth, connections, and other good qualities to assist her friends. Veronica is sometimes good-hearted and kind always ready to help out a friend in need. She is constantly driving her father crazy with her credit card bills, causing him to try and curb her excessive spending habits, but with no such luck. She is very fashion-conscious and buys only very expensive designer clothing which she is known to throw away only a few months after she has bought it. She stands at about 5'6' and weighs about 120 lbs (the same height and weight as her best friend Betty).ĭespite her beauty, Veronica is seen as slightly vain, always concerned about her appearance and clothing. In the comics, she is described as a brown-eyed brunette (her hair is medium-length with bangs). Veronica has been called one of the most beautiful girls in Riverdale, and happens to be blessed with naturally good looks. Veronica appeared in Archie Comics shortly after Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones, Reggie Mantle, and Archie Andrews debuted. Montana came up with Veronica's first name by using the name of eccentric actress Veronica Lake. The real Lodges were wealthy and enjoyed the kind of extravagant life that is known to Veronica in the Archie series.

The concept for the Veronica Lodge character came from the creator Bob Montana's assignment to do a portrait of a real-life Lodge family.
