<Tr> <Th> Relatives </Th> <Td> Hiram Lodge (father) Hermione Lodge (mother) Gladys (aunt) Leroy (cousin) Marcy (cousin) Harper (cousin) Zoey (aunt) </Td> </Tr> <P> Veronica Lodge is one of the main characters in the Archie Comics books series as well as CW's Riverdale . </P> <P> She is called both by her name Veronica and her nicknames Ronnie and Ron . Bob Montana knew the Lodge family, because he had once painted a mural for them . Montana combined that name with actress Veronica Lake to create the character of Veronica Lodge . Her character was added just months after Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, and Jughead Jones debuted, and just a few months before Reggie Mantle debuted . </P> <P> Veronica Lodge (Verónica Del Valle in the Spanish version of the comics) is the only child of Hiram Lodge, the richest man in Riverdale, and his wife Hermione Lodge . Veronica is an attractive girl with black hair, favoring expensive, up - to - the - minute fashion . In some comics, Mr. Lodge claimed that he moved his family to Riverdale in order to avoid Veronica becoming spoiled, like many of the children he knew and grew up with . His plan did not succeed as well as he had hoped . Veronica is often seen going on spending sprees and pretty much shopping until she drops, and burning major credit cards in the process . (Once she bought out every shoe store in Riverdale to prevent any other girl from buying a pair of shoes that she herself wanted!) At times, Veronica's vain and conceited attitude infuriates her father to the point that he has to somehow "teach her a lesson" and Veronica is forced to get a job of some kind or loses access to Archie . She has also been spanked by her father several times for her behavior...sometimes in full view of everybody she knows . </P>
