Veronica Lodge

Veronica "Ronnie" Lodge ("born" April 1942) is an adolescent fictional character in the Archie Comics books series. Since the Archie characters never appear to age, Lodge remains a high-school teenager after 62 years. She is called both by her name Veronica and her nickname Ronnie (sometimes shortened further to Ron).

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, effected Southern accent.

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.

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".

The name Veronica Lodge is closely similar to Veronica Lake, a popular film actress in the throes of celebrity when the cartoon character was created in 1942.
