Sweet Pea

"What, you'll ask for help from the Serpents when you need it, but you won't hang with us? Don't come crawling to us hat in hand when some Ghoulie decides to earn his stripes by taking out FP Jones' kid."

- Sweet Pea to Jughead

Sweet Pea is a recurring character in the second season of Riverdale. He is portrayed by Jordan Connor.

He is a student at Southside High and a member of the Southside Serpents. He is friends with Toni Topaz and Jughead Jones.

Dealing with a New Serpent Member
After storming out of Mr. Phillip's class in a fit of rage the previous day, Sweet Pea and two other Serpents entered the the Red and Black offices in search of Toni and Jughead, wondering if the two of them wanted to join him at the quarry. While Toni agreed to come, Jughead denied the offer, sarcastically remarking that he didn't have his beach body yet. Sweet Pea took great offense to Jughead's refusal to join them, concluding that they were good enough for Jughead to ask for help from, but not good enough to hang out with. He instructed Jughead not to come crawling to them when some random Ghoulie decided to earn his stripes by taking out FP Jones' kid. While Jughead appreciated what the Serpents had done for him and his father, he had no desires in joining them, which angered Sweet Pea, enough to make him attack, though Toni was there to keep the two separate and prevent the situation from escalating. She then told Sweet Pea to take the hint as Jughead just wasn't that into him.

A couple days later in the cafeteria, he and Toni were joined at the table by Jughead, who had supposedly been attacked by the Ghoulies. They exchanged looks, nodding to one another having come to an understanding.

Physical Appearance
Sweet Pea appears to be slim, but also very tall. He has long jet black hair brushed to the side and dark brown eyes, with the gang's symbol of a double-headed serpent tattooed on the left side of his neck.

Personality
Not much is known about Sweet Pea as of yet, though he appears to be protective of his own and has a firm stance on loyalty. Due to Jughead's biological relation to Southside Serpents leader, FP Jones, Sweet Pea was fast to accept Jughead as one of their own. However, Jughead did not accept his hand in friendship initially, which Sweet Pea took as a sign of disrespect, thus triggering his already short temper.
