EARLIER LIFE
(his life in riverdale)
➤Sweet pea was born a Southsider and shows that is his legacy, he hates the Northside because they resent the Serpents and consider all of them thugs and miscreants, sure, it’s a bit of a contradiction and he doesn’t give some of the more understanding Northsiders a chance but they haven’t shown him any reason too. every time he feels he can trust them his life gets ripped apart.
➤He despises the Northside; not only because more than half the town only believe the lies they have been told but because every Northsider is better off than anyone from the Southside and even the people who claim they don’t mind the Southside not one of them has ever tried to help out to make the place Sweets calls home a better place.
-Sweet pea grew up with it rough, like many of the other southsiders. His father was heavy on the bottle but when he was a kid he went off to war to get better chances on money, the only thing is he died at war leaving Sweet pea and his mother alone and due to this his mother slipped into drug abuse leaving Sweet pea 100% dependent on himself; at least until the serpents took him under his wing and introduced him to the gang around fourteen and this is where he found his true family and he became devoted to them and willing to do any job or task they need of the boy while he also gets himself in dumb situations with his friends.
-he had lived though the closing of southside high, the ghoulie take over, even the trend of the fictional game of gryphons and gargoyles. smart enough to avoid the farm he seemed to just make it to graduation where he finally watched as his friends went off to school and soon after having to deal with riverdale on his own again.
PERSONALITY
➤Sweet pea has been shown being both a total brute; fighting ghoulies and Northsiders whenever he can, standing up for the Southsiders when they were being pulled under the bus, or just destroying property when he gets angry; he solves justice physically and irrationally which is not always smart but he feels he’s only good for his strength. Sweets has a lot of problems seeing good in himself even though there is more love in him than anyone will ever know he just shows it differently. Instead of being emotional and letting his feelings out the boy is extremely protective and quick to react to violence if the people he loves are threatened.
➤It’s not canon but from the way he is shown to always be in the front line of the younger Serpents I always imagined he wants to be able to climb the Serpent ladder and be a big leader of the gang at some point which is going to really be his main focus in life until more plots come, while he will always remain loyal to the people who have never done him wrong. There is nothing that can make him stray from the serpents.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM INBETWEEN THE SEVEN YEARS ?
➤Sweet pea, unlike the others was one of the riverdale residents stuck behind. he kept things up and running as best he could on his own while fangs and toni went to school, not that he minded all that much, it almost felt like he was the leader he was meant to be. and until the money was raised to buy the noir with toni after she returned from college that sweet pea had the whyte wyrm fully restored back to it’s original state that it had been before the ghoulies took over it. along with this was the revival of completely having the serpents coming back as strong as they had been.
➤sweet pea sometimes might regret not being able to venture out, possibly get a chance on going to college or at least making a better life outside of riverdale which had fallen apart. but his loyalty to his family, the serpents, kept him around. he knew he needed to stay and take care of the people he loved and would die for, so being the serpent king became his absolute duty as a person.
➤For extra money to pay the bills for his apartment, Sweet pea runs product for the Serpents also He knows a lot about cars and is always finding scrap pieces to keep his old truck running and had taken a few hours at the mechanic to make extra cash though, that is just for his own pocketing; the truckers that stop by pops has been mostly the flow of money for the man and the serpents.
LIVING IN ROSE LAKE
➤pea has most of his memories. slowly they are all coming back but a lot he wants to forget (can you blame him, the show got wild)
➤ he works at an autoshop
MISSING CONNECTIONS
-any serpents that he’d be close with (obviously this including toni and fangs).
-ghoulies that he has extra beef with. maybe they are always out to get each other.
-exs, hook ups, maybe a past relationship: if they dated he probably would have lost them for being so focused on rebuilding the serpents and saving up for the whyte wyrm. maybe they are still into each other or maybe more angsty plots had caused them to split.
-family members?: this could be plotted out but maybe he has a cousin move to town.
