Who is Betty Cooper?

Origin Golden Age Betty As with the majority of characters in Riverdale , Betty’s background history is not ever very fully fleshed out. She has two siblings, who are rarely seen and of whom she is the youngest and two loving parents. She maintains a peaceful life in Riverdale. Her life since being a young girl has had two primary constants, Veronica Lodge as a best friend, and Archie Andrews as her main crush. The two relationships often do not go hand in hand. For instance, Archie gave Betty her first kiss when she was six and then gave her a flower which she kept (as opposed to Betty's mother, who had her first kiss when she was seven and got the measles from it.) As an indication of the problems of explaining Betty's origin, there are in fact many other stories explaining or describing Betty's first kiss. Golden Age Pin-up of Betty Creation Betty was created by Bob Montana, as a love interest for Archie Andrews and first appeared in Pep Comics #22 in 1941. Despite making her first appearance before Veronica she is generally subjugated to his backup romantic interest.
