Jopaz

Jopaz is the het ship between Toni Topaz and Jughead Jones on CW teen mystery drama Riverdale.

Canon
Toni volunteers to show Jughead around Southside High on his first day, on account of FP being a Southside Serpent. She advises Jughead to align himself with the Serpents to avoid retribution from the Ghoulies, another gang at Southside. After Jughead is beaten by them, he takes Toni's advice, but doesn't tell Betty and asks Toni not to either. Jughead decides to make a play for the defunct Red & Black, Southside High's newspaper and convinces his teacher to allowe Jughead to resurrect it, which Toni refers to as his sanctuary at SH. She is a photographer and Jughead playfully convinces her to join as the Red & Black's photographer.

Although Jughead's with Betty, he flirts with Toni almost from the moment they meet. As Jughead's not part of the Serpents, most of them are skeptical of him, but Toni stands by him and they spend a lot of time together at school and the paper. Following Archie and the Bulldogs' rumble with the Serpents, and Archie shoving a gun in Sweet Pea's face, they are planning on retaliating with a pipe bomb. Jughead tries to calm the waters, but to no avail and tells Toni that his only option is to step into his father's peace keeping footsteps by joining the Serpents fully.

Toni's trepidatious and warns Jughead of the dangers of, not only initiation, but life as a Serpent. Jughead tells her he was inspired by her to take up this mantle, when she told him that the Serpents might falter without FP's presence. Toni does everything she can to support Jughead through the initiation process and the intensity brings them closer, although Jughead begins to realise that he's actively diving into something with Toni although he's still with Betty.
