Awesome New Female Character Week: Ramona Flowers

[sandoz_iscariot]

My pick for Awesome New Female Character Week is Ramona Flowers, the mysterious Amazon.ca delivery girl from Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series. Ramona travels through the subspace dimension to deliver packages and is never seen without her subspace suitcase (storage capacity: unknown). Both are put to good use when Ramona's Fourth Evil Ex, Roxie Richter, shows up and wants to cut Ramona's boyfriend's head off. A fight ensues! On rollerskates.

7 pages from the fourth volume, Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together.

Sorta? I mean, all Scott did was poke her in the back of the knee. If it was somewhere more traditionally intimate, then yeah, it would've been a lot skeevier, but as it was he was just trying to peacefully stop a girl who was attempting to murder him.

I don't know, Ramona basically said that was a specifically sexual kink of Roxy's. Granted the back of the knee is somewhat more innocuous than most places, but I still found it a bit, irk... traditionally intimate doesn't mean anything to the individual. I mean, with Envy (or, as I originally thought, with Ramona and Roxy) it just feels better because that's their shared history in play. Whereas slicing in half isn't really more violent than exploding the skater guy.
