Tellingly, she's in her human form as she assures an aged Medlock how much she loves him which only makes it harsher when he steals her youth.
* TheChosenOne: [[spoiler:She turns out to be the real Ender who was destined to stop the Eternal Night, meaning Medlock had actually won centuries ago when he turned her. Trouble is, him betraying her gave Scarlet incentive to destroy Medlock for good.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: After Veronica's turned into a vampire, Scarlet conspires to change her back both out of jealousy towards Medlock favoring her, and because she's such an obnoxious brat.
-->'''Scarlet''': Let's just say I see very little reason in having an eternal night if I have to spend it with an eternal pain in the neck!
-->'''Jughead''': Wow! Veronica's so annoying even the vampires don't want her!
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She sides with Archie's friends after Medlock steals her vitality and tosses her aside, having decided to save them due to the kindness they showed her even after everything she did. After destroying Medlock, she passes on to the other side. The comics later reveal she was given a second chance and reborn as a normal human.]]

* UndyingLoyalty: Subverted. She betrays Medlock to turn Veronica back to normal, but it's made clear she genuinely cared for him and didn't want him to get destroyed. She's horrified when she sees Medlock turned into a weakened old man by the sunstone, and then tenderly brings him back to their hideout. [[spoiler:Medlock sucking up her youth and deciding she's not even worth killing proves to be his undoing, when everyone realizes ''she'' was his prophesized destroyer and not Veronica.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Even after Scarlet professed her love for Medlock, he callously drained her youth to restore his body and tossed her aside.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He was so pissed off at Reggie's pranks in "Alternate Riverdales" (which were especially horrid even for Reggie) that Archie's threats of getting payback were enough to leave Reggie in fear of his life for an entire day.



* AbhorrentAdmirer: He repeatedly hits on Midge, who has gotten so used to his behavior she carries flash cards with her rejections written on them. It makes it a bit more understandable why Moose gets so enraged when it happens.



* JustJokingJustification: After he spent an entire day harassing Archie and practically destroying his bonds with Jughead, Betty and Veronica, he vainly claimed he was only kidding around when Archie reaches his RageBreakingPoint.




to:

* WithFriendsLikeThese: He is consistently the worst member of Archie's friend group and tends to treat everyone pretty poorly, which ranges from being a harmless annoyance to an outright creep depending on the episode. When he succumbs to the influence of a cursed treasure and repeatedly backstabs the others to have it all to himself, Betty outright asked why they should even bother to help Reggie. Archie finally admits that Reggie might be awful, but without him things would be too boring.
