I release a new version of this FAQ whenever I feel like it.
The version number system I use is very simple. Whenever I add one or two issues' worth of new material to the FAQ, I increase the version number by .1. Whenever I add a new section or a large amount of new material, I increase the version number to the next whole number.

I've put a lot of work into this FAQ. I've gone through lots of comic books
to compile this information. You may use the information on your website, but
please credit me by linking to this document and my e-mail address. Thank
you.
Now, please enjoy this fun-to-read FAQ on Cheryl Blossom.
You didn't really think I'd let 7 years go by without an update; did you?
Okay, you probably did. You probably even thought I'd abandoned this FAQ. Yes, I have neglected this FAQ for far too long, but I'm finally updating it again.
Here at long last is Version 4.0 of the Cheryl Blossom FAQ. I've added detailed info from only 1 issue, but I've updated the FAQ information and general information as well. This update is basically a "let everyone know the FAQ's still going" update.
Since the previous update, a lot has happened to Cheryl. Her solo title was unceremoniously cancelled. Soon after, she was shipped off to Paris due to her father's work. The family then lost a lot of money and returned to the United States, now merely upper middle-class. Cheryl's father, Clifford Blossom, took a job working for Mr. Lodge. The family now lives in Riverdale proper, and Cheryl attends Riverdale High School.
In other news, Miramax and Archie Entertainment are supposedly making a live-action "Betty & Veronica" theatrical film. There's no word on the release date, casting, or even if Cheryl will be in it. I just wanted to let everyone know. I'll add more info as it becomes available!
The next FAQ update will have more new detailed information. Until then, enjoy this version!
Hello, readers. In case you didn't realize it, I'm a huge fan of Cheryl
Blossom. You know Cheryl. She's the not-so-nice-but-still-sweet-and-loveable
rich girl in the Archie comics series. I love her so much, I've decided to
write this FAQ on Cheryl, so that fans can learn a lot about her.
This project started as a site on Wednesday, December 22, 1999, at 9:00 AM.
It was called The Betty Cooper and Cheryl Blossom Fan Page. Then, on Monday,
January 24, 2000, at 10:00 AM, I decided to change the site into two FAQS,
one of which you're reading right now. The site never went up. I keep each
section of the FAQ as a separate file, so it's easy for me to add info to
it.
This FAQ is meant to be a resource about Cheryl Blossom for fan fiction writers and for casual reading. It allows you to learn a lot about Cheryl without having to read the comics themselves. If you're writing a fanfic, and you want to back up something that you write with a precedent, you can list a comics source that I give in the FAQ (such as: *see Cheryl Blossom, No. 23 (6/99), "Friendly Fire" Part 2).
If a fictitious name was given for a person or thing with the obvious intent of it being a thin disguise for a real person or thing (examples: N'Sing, the Backsweep Boys, the Sugar Girls, etc.), I'll include the information, but I will change the ficticious names to the real names. For example, if one story says that Cheryl joined the Sugar Girls, then this FAQ will say that she joined the Spice Girls. I think that this is fair.
Regarding continuity, Archie Comics doesn't use it a lot. The only real constant regarding Cheryl is that she's well-off. Almost everything else changes from story to story. The layout of Cheryl's house changes, her relationship with the other characters changes, she's been in high school since 1982, etc.
I regard the Archie stories as tales of modern mythology. The characters have many different traits, deeds, and "facts" attributed to them, so, obviously, not everything listed in this FAQ is consistent. The information presented in this FAQ is yours to accept or reject as you see fit.
The Cheryl Blossom FAQ is available in HTML format at
http://supergirl.741.com/Cheryl/cherylfaq.html
Yes, there is a Betty Cooper FAQ. It's available in HTML format at
http://supergirl.741.com/Betty/bettyfaq.html
I've compiled information from many different sources into this FAQ. I've reviewed even more sources in search of information. In order to give you, the readers, an idea of the scope that this FAQ covers, here is a list of all of the sources that I've reviewed:
Regular Comics
Digest Magazines
Trade Paperbacks
Television Series
Movies
In addition to all of the above, please note that Cheryl debuted in 1982, so all sources from 1941 to 1981 are inherently included, even if they aren't mentioned above.
I did not include Cheryl's advice in the "Dear Cheryl" column. I don't feel that it's very accurate.
I also didn't include information from any stories where the characters know that they're fictional characters.
Also, I didn't include information from any stories where the characters are in completely unrealistic situations.
Whenever I get information from a specific source, I give that source, so you, the readers, can look it up yourselves.
Even though this biography covers a lot, it barely scratches the surface of who Cheryl Blossom is. There are still lots of comics that I have to find and check. As I get more of these comics, I'll add them in.
In order to make the FAQ less crowded (and to cut down on the size), I've
developed codes for the titles, so they won't be typed repeatedly in the
sources. Here are the codes for the titles:
Archie Comics Digest Magazine (ACD)
Cheryl Blossom is a character that appears in comic books published by
Archie Comic Publications, Inc.
The early 1980s would see the arrival of far and away the most
controversial character ever seen in the long and storied history of Archie
Comics: Cheryl Blossom. Cheryl, a buxom, saucy, devil-may-care redhead with a
blatant come hither personality, made her infamous debut in "Betty and
Veronica # 320" (August, 1982), where, in a story called "Dare To Be Bare",
Cheryl caused quite a stir on the beach when she proudly showed off a
shockingly brief bikini that horrified even Veronica, then casually tried to
go topless, only to be stopped by a panicked Betty!
Portrayed as an international jetsetter who was just as rich as Veronica (if
not more so), nowhere near as coy or demure as Betty, and, later, displaying
a talent for deviousness that would put Reggie himself to shame, Cheryl,
along with her smarmy twin brother, Jason, looked upon the population of
Riverdale as beneath her notice, calling its residents townies, and sought to
make life miserable for them, except for Archie, whom Cheryl was absolutely
crazy about, much to the outrage of Betty and Veronica, as red hair on boys
turned her on.
After only two years of entertaining stories that dealt with Cheryl and Jason
causing trouble for the Riverdale High crowd, not to mention Cheryl's dogged
pursuit of Archie, the Blossoms suddenly vanished from the Archie series'
comics without a trace. While no official explanation was ever given for
their disappearance, one theory was that Cheryl got the boot because she was
too racy a character for the family-oriented atmosphere of Archie Comics.
Since his inception in 1941, Archie has been portrayed as a bastion of clean,
wholesome entertainment for kids. Suddenly, along comes the sultry Cheryl
who, in her low-cut tops or tight sweaters, brazenly short skirts, and spike
heels, made no secret of constantly lusting after boys. One could imagine
this did not go over too well with parents, and since they either bought
comics for their kids, or controlled what they bought, they probably made a
boatload of complaints to the management of Archie Comics, and, as a result,
Cheryl was sent packing.
Cheryl finally returned in Veronica, Vol. 1, No. 39 (December, 1994), the
concluding chapter of the "Love Showdown" series. It was a shocker to Archie
fans worldwide, as she was perhaps the last person Archie fans ever
expected to see again. One prevalent theory regarding Cheryl's return was
that a foil was needed to keep Archie from choosing between Betty and
Veronica as part of the "Love Showdown" plot, to which end, Cheryl was
rescued from oblivion by the editors to serve that purpose.
The information in this section came from "Everything's Archie-The Inside
Story of Archie Comics" by Jeff Branch and Paul Castiglia.
Cheryl gained tremendous popularity with Archie fans upon her return.
Throughout 1995, Cheryl made guest appearances in virtually every Archie
series comic, picking up where she left off in 1982: chasing after Archie and
tormenting Betty and Veronica. That lead to four 48-page specials Cheryl
starred in, containing new stories and reprints, followed in late 1995 and
most of 1996 by a trio of entertaining three-issue mini-series, which would
see Jason's return and the first ever appearance of Cheryl's parents.
With fans clamoring for more, their demands were met in early 1997 with the
debut of a regular "Cheryl Blossom" comic. The tone of the comic had been set
during the last mini-series, where Cheryl went to great lengths to have a
movie she made shown at an international film festival. This would lead to
the running theme in Cheryl's new book of her neverending quest to be a
celebrity, helped along when she and Jason inherited an inn from a deceased
aunt and transformed it into a posh resort called Club Blossom, which Cheryl
uses to entertain the rich and famous.
The "Cheryl Blossom" comic book was quietly canceled after issue #37 (2001), and Cheryl moved to France soon after. No official explanation has been given. However, due to an outcry from her fans, Cheryl was soon brought back. She now lives in Riverdale, not Pembrooke, and she attends Riverdale High School.

Story of Archie Comics" by Jeff Branch and Paul Castiglia.
None that I know of. I'll see what I can find.
I'll try to get info on current merchandise.
As for older merchandise:

I'm not sure about Cheryl fanfics, but I have written a story called "BETTY
COOPER: THIS IS WHO I AM". It is a more mature story, not for little kids.
Cheryl appears in it, but she's not the main character. If you're not a
regular reader of Archie comics, you might want to read the rest of this

Here are some quick facts on Cheryl Blossom. This is so you can get a general idea of her before exploring the details.
Cheryl Blossom lives in the town of Riverdale in the United States of America. She has long red hair, which she wears in a variety of styles but mostly loose. She is of Scottish descent.
Cheryl's parents are Clifford and Penelope Blossom. Cheryl has a twin brother named Jason.
Veronica Lodge (and sometimes Betty Cooper) is Cheryl's rival for Archie Andrews. What they see in him, I'll never know.
The Blossom family was rich, and Cheryl is spoiled because of it. During that time, Cheryl lived in the upscale community of Pembrooke and attended Pembrooke Academy.
Cheryl moved away but eventually returned. She again lived in Pembrooke. Cheryl owned her own teenzine, "Fresh".
Cheryl moved away again. This time, it was to France because of her father's job. The family lost a lot of money and returned to the United States, now merely upper-middle class and living in Riverdale proper.
Cheryl attends Riverdale High School. Betty Cooper is her friend.
"Cheryl Blossom, the vivacious redhead who is beautiful, rich, and knows how
to get what she wants, Archie."
- Archie Comics Online
Here is Cheryl Blossom describing herself in her own words! This information
comes from Archie Comics Online as
of Saturday, October 23, 1999.
Well, hello, darlings! I'm Cheryl Blossom, the hostess with the mostest, and
I've just arrived from the inn that Jason and I run after a hard, hard day's
work (trying to choose a new color for the remodeled powder room was
so-oooooo exhausting!) to tell you all about the best page on the entire
Archie Comics website----The Blossom Bulletin!!
The people who run the website wanted to tell you all about me, and Jason
and the rest of our gang, but I nixed that idea! If anyone was going to do
that, it could only be me!! And so, with the help of someone handy on a
keyboard (What? Did you think that I was going to risk my gorgeous nails
typing? Get real!!), here's all you need to know about the wonderful world
of me and my friends! But, hey, I'm the only truly important one here!
My family and I live in Pembrooke which is an exclusive community bordering,
ugh....Riverdale. I was always bored sick when I had to go into that
loserville, but that all changed on the fateful day when I met Archie
Andrews.
I've always had a thing for redheaded boys, and when I first laid my
gorgeous green eyes on Archie, he drove me wild! But my passion for Archie
really ticked off his townie girlfriends, Betty and Veronica, and I loved
it! The only thing I love more than being with Archie is getting the goats
of those silly girls!
Let me tell you, being the most glamorous creature in all the world is an
awesome responsibility. I mean, I seriously think my beauty should be
registered as a lethal weapon! Because I'm so incredibly stunning, I turn
heads everywhere I go. Jealous people (like Betty and Veronica for instance)
call me a shameless flirt, well, it's not my fault boys are hopelessly
attracted to me!
Even though I have more money than I know what to do with, what I really
want in life is to be famous! There's nothing I want more than to be a movie
star, but I'm not picky! I'll settle for any sort of media attention I can
get! I was born to be in the spotlight, and my dream is to have my own star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! And when I want something, I usually get it,
either by hook or by crook!
That's why I had to swallow my pride and force myself into a truce with my
slimy twin brother, Jason when we inherited an inn from our flaky old aunt
and transformed it into "Club Blossom" the most fabulous hot spot around!
Ever since we opened, we've hosted concerts (Having Medusa there was so
cool! Even if she was pregnant and cranky!) and all sorts of celebrities!
Ooooooh! There's nothing like rubbing shoulders with stars!
Don't believe all those cruel lies spouted by Betty and Veronica who say I'm
a scheming, boy crazy and manipulative vamp! Nothing could be further from
the truth, kids! I'm just as normal as the next teenaged girl----provided of
course she's too beautiful for words, makes the lap of luxury look like a
slum and is a genius to boot! Other than that, I'm pretty darn modest, don't
you agree? Of course you do.
Sigh, now I suppose I should talk about Jason, after all, he is my brother,
though I'd love nothing more than to change that! Jason, whom I've feuded
with since we were kids fancies himself a playboy because he's so
disgustingly handsome and lives like a king. But, unlike moi, Jason's not
the least bit interested in show business, his sole ambition is to date as
many girls as humanly possible! I tell you, the boy has NO focus!
When he's not picking up girls like there's no tomorrow (For some bizarre
reason, he has a thing for plain Jane Betty Cooper, don't ask me why!), he's
constantly in my lovely hair, trying to keep me from achieving the stardom I
so rightfully deserve. The only reason he even bothers to help me run the
inn is to use it as his personal dating service. There's definitely no love
between Jason and me! Never has been, never will be!
The only two people in the world I love as much as myself are my parents.
Clifford Blossom is a self made billionaire who started his own computer
software business and pretty much rules the industry. Penelope, my mom is
real down to earth. Would you believe she avoids the social scene and
actually works??? YUCK!!! I must have a talk with her about that sometime!
The first time I met Louella McGruff, whom dad hired to supervise Club
Blossom, I thought she came straight from the pro wrestling circuit! Besides
being big and burly like a bear (with a temper to match!), Louella is so no
nonsense it's sickening. Louella and I have clashed on just about everything
about the inn from day one while that weasley Jason kisses up to her like
crazy. Sometimes I get my way with her, but not very often!
Outside of Betty and Veronica, the one true pain in my lovely neck are the
Clumpitts, a threesome of filthy, revolting hillbillies who, to put it
bluntly, put the "red" in redneck! These losers actually live in a treehouse
near the inn with no electricity or running water, constantly barge in on
the club and otherwise drive me crazy! What I wouldn't give to move them off
my land and onto Veronica Lodge's property!
Well, there you have it, friends. Life is pretty good for me, thanks to the
inn, I'm becoming famous, I'm the talk of the town, having been on TV,
radio, and onstage with Medusa! And I even get Archie Andrews to spend
quality time with me when I can tear him away from you-know-who. Be sure to
check out my webpage often to see what will happen next! I guarantee you, if
it involves me, it'll be great! Ciao, sweeties!
Okay, now that you've read all that, let me tell you that, from what I've
read of her, Cheryl is not quite as vain and egotistical as the site says
she is. Sure, she's both, but it's not quite so excessive.
Also, Cheryl and Betty seem to be friends now. They began a friendship in
1999, and it's still alive. It'll be interesting to see where this leads.
