Jason Blossom

"Even though we were twins, I used to demand I have my own birthday party. Until one year, out of the blue, Jason convinced me we had to combine them into one. It wasn't until years later, I found out why. It was because no one wanted to come to mine. And Jason didn't want me to know. He protected me. Every single day. I wish, that day at the river, I had protected him. I'm so sorry, Jay-Jay. We failed you. All of us."

Jason was the son of Clifford and Penelope Blossom, and the twin brother of Cheryl Blossom. He was captain of the school water polo team and a member of the Riverdale Bulldogs. He supposedly died under mysterious circumstances when he fell from a boat into Sweetwater River on July 4th, prior to the start of the series but as it turns out he died a week later around July 11th.

Early Life
Jason grew up in Riverdale, along side his twin sister, Cheryl. Prior to the start of the series, he was in a relationship with Betty Cooper's sister, Polly.

Physical Appearance
Jason was a moderately slim young man of medium stature, around 6' 1", with pale skin, red hair and steel blue eyes. Ironically, despite his leading position on the Riverdale Bulldogs, he was not an especially muscular individual. He was often seen wearing his blue and gold varsity jacket though. According to Veronica Lodge, Jason was "crazy handsome", Cheryl agreed, saying that he was the "handsomest".

Personality
As Jason was killed prior to the start of the series, not much information about his personality is known. He did bully Jughead at school from time to time. However, according to Cheryl, he was the best brother anyone could've asked for, and was a genuinely nice person who didn't deserve to be tortured and murdered. Jason was very protective of his loved ones, especially Cheryl. When they were younger, Cheryl insisted on having separate birthdays from Jason despite the fact that they were twins, until one year, he randomly recommended that they combine their birthdays into one. It was not until years later that Cheryl discovered the reason for this was that no one would come to her birthday. Jason protected her feelings whenever he thought it was needed.
