List of Scott Pilgrim Characters - Main Characters - Ramona Flowers

Ramona Flowers

Ramona Victoria "Rammy" Flowers is an American expatriate from New York, a "ninja delivery girl" for Amazon.ca and Scott's main love interest. Her age is unknown until the end of the 4th volume, where she reveals that she is 24 years old. She reveals very little and is very guarded about her past in New York before she moved to Toronto. She is capable of traveling through subspace and has seven evil exes who challenge Scott for her affection. She changes her hairstyle every three weeks and becomes anxious when Gideon is mentioned or brought up. Her head glows periodically, usually when she is upset or jealous, though she herself is unaware of this until Kim Pine brings attention to it in volume 5.

When asked if Ramona is supposed to be fat or plump, O'Malley responded by stating that "since it is a comic book and I draw everyone kinda cartoony and rounded, I figure it’s up to the reader to decide. However, I must inform you that Knives was mainly being mean when she said Ramona was fat." Her natural hair color is not stated. O'Malley said "Nobody knows her natural hair color. Ramona may not even remember. She changes it a lot because she’s trying to figure out who she is / who she wants to be." On another occasion, when asked, O'Malley said "i don’t know… brown? How many natural hair colors are there really? she isn’t blonde. Honestly, i never thought about it… her hair color didn’t matter to me. because I was drawing a black & white comic. Her hair color is ‘whatever you desire~’" For the new color editions of Volume 2 he kept Ramona's hair as purple, reserving the blue color spectrum for Ramona's hair for Volume 4 and onwards. O'Malley said that if Ramona hypothetically broke up with Scott after Volume 6, she would change her hair to a chin-length, "messy" bob with bangs that is dyed black and chopped; O'Malley explained that he never used this hairstyle for Ramona because it is too similar to the shape of Kim Pine's hairstyle. In terms of Ramona's height, O'Malley said that it was "supposed to be tallish" meaning around 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m) or 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m). Ramona's subspace bag, like her hair, changes color periodically. Throughout her dating history, Ramona had one "non-evil" ex, Doug, who O'Malley named after one of his real life friends.

Ramona Flowers was ranked 70th in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list.

Film adaptation

Ramona is played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Shortly before filming began, Winstead received the list of facts about Ramona's past. When asked what those facts are, she responded, "I honestly don't know if they are things that Bryan would want out there, so I'll keep them quiet. But things about her family-she's kind of a tragic figure in a way. She's been through a lot, and that's why she's so guarded and mysterious." Winstead has since revealed at least one of the secrets, one that she considered very insightful for her character: Ramona’s younger brother died when she was younger, and she wears one of his shoelaces around her neck in memory of him. According to O'Malley, the particular detail about the brother is not applicable in the book version of Ramona. After Winstead learned she had the part, she began training to be the character in Los Angeles. The training included stunt training, pushups, kung fu training, and fight training. Winstead said that the training was "pretty cool" and "like being in some sort of kung fu camp."
