Toni no longer has a storyline outside of Cheryl, no individual personality. Toni gets tossed to the side so Cheryl can come out on top tokenizing not only Cheryl’s bisexuality, but also the idea of the WOC lesbian.

Thus giving way to the idea that white characters in shows, particularly white women, ride on the backs of women of color to further their development. Not to mention, Toni is a woman of color. Fans are even more interested now in who Cheryl is because she’s suddenly all the rage for being bi, while Toni sits on the sidelines, essentially a pawn in Cheryl’s character expansion. Cheryl’s softer, nicer, and let’s not forget: bisexual. In contrast, suddenly Cheryl is all the more interesting. The only redeeming quality about Toni now is that she is in love with Cheryl. After diving into a relationship with Cheryl, Toni suddenly is nothing but Cheryl’s girlfriend. Toni was developing quite nicely as a character, coming in to her own as a Serpent, falling in love, beginning to soften. Suddenly, Riverdale is trending more than ever before because they have a lesbian relationship! Shocking! Outstanding! But who is left with nothing? Toni, of course. At first, this seems innocent enough, but when you truly look at how the girls have been written, you start to see something undeniable: tokenizing. So when Cheryl and Toni begin to squash their beef and become friends, they almost immediately jump into a relationship with one another sharing a Christmas kiss. As Cheryl gets more character development, fans learn that things are not so great at home, especially after the “loss” of her brother, cultivating the hard shell that Cheryl has. Cheryl is the popular girl, adhering to all the stereotypes you’d usually expect of the popular girl for most of the show. She also had a flirtation with Jughead going on, leading the audience to believe, at least for the time being that she is in fact, straight. Thus far, Toni has been known as a tough-girl, part of the Serpents. More on that later.Ĭheryl took over Toni’s flag-girl role during a drag race, starting the feud between the two. Almost instantly, though, they jumped into a romantic relationship. In the beginning, Cheryl and Toni didn’t really get along, and it took awhile before they became friends.

However, they did not always have such a peachy relationship. If you’ve been watching the show, you probably are a fan of #Choni. More specifically: the relationship between Cheryl Blossom and Toni Topaz, and how they have become another token set of characters to reach the lesbian and bi quota. We need to finally talk about the CW’s hit show, Riverdale.
