Envy Adams

Natalie V. "Envy" Adams is Scott Pilgrim's ex-girlfriend who brutally dumped Scott in college prior to the events of the book. She's a secondary antagonist in Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness and a supporting ally in Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour. She was initially a quiet, mousey girl, but she decides to change herself and her self-image. She ends up becoming more callous and aggressive in contrast to her initial personality. Natalie eventually takes over Scott's band and dumps him without warning. She reappears later in the series, introduced as the lead singer and keyboardist for the popular emerging band The Clash at Demonhead, no longer going by "Nat" or "Natalie." Scott describes her original personality as being "nice" and is baffled as to what she has become (claiming in the movie, "You used to be so nice!"). Envy was in a relationship with Ramona's ex-boyfriend Todd Ingram and claims to know about Ramona's past.

According to Scott, Envy was a warm and friendly person before the fame blinded her. When dumped, she became malicious and vengeful, vowing to humiliate Scott and defeat him internally, as well as take out whoever was dating him, not much differently from Ramona's League of Evil Exes. However, further into the story, Envy is not as evil as most would perceive her to be and the way she was portrayed was mostly by how Scott had perceived her. Although she is shown to be an arrogant and attention-seeking jerk at times, Scott seems to be the one envious of her success and the way she did not stay the quiet, nerdy and "nice" girlfriend" he saw her as, and also because he wasn't successful or famous, so painted her as a "villain", as shown by how she remembers their past far differently than he does. She can also be seen as rather vapid, not above using her sex appeal in order to advance her career.

In the end, after Gideon was defeated and she apologizes to him, Envy goes back to her "old self" once again, asking for Scott's forgiveness rather than humiliating him further, leading the two to find closure in their relationship.
