Edward Harding

Edward is a teenage boy known for his quiet demeanor and impressive smarts-- specifically in mathematics and chemistry. Edward, aside from being very intelligent, is also extremely skilled at the violin. Edward often does performances, and aspires to become a professional violinist. Edward is French-American, and has mostly French family members. He can speak both French and English fluently. Edward was born in Paris, but he moved to Arizona at the age of 16, moving to Riverdale a year later. Edward's father-- Apollo-- divorced his mother-- Eliza-- for being abusive both verbally and sometimes physically. Edward lives with his father, and plans on staying with his father into adulthood due to his father having lower-body paralysis-- which was caused by a car accident that happened while Edward was still a young child. 

Edward, upon moving to Riverdale, met and fell in love with Reggie Mantle. Edward had no clue why he had such feelings for him, but he wasn't entirely displeased by the thought. The two began to formally date, and Edward befriended Dilton Doiley and Betty Cooper later on. Reggie is often picking fights with others-- specifically Archie-- and Edward is usually the one to break things up.
