Ramona flowers [takes off] - Ramona Victoria "Rammy" Flowers (b. January 1st, 1980)[1] is an American expatriate who lived in New York and now works as a "Ninja delivery girl" for Amazon.ca in Canada. She is 24 years old[2] and Scott's main love interest and is one of the seven main characters of the Scott Pilgrim franchise.
She reveals very little about herself 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 is also a tea enthusiast, as discovered when Scott is bombarded with a list of teas in one of Ramona's cupboards of her home[3].
When fighting, she typically uses an over sized mallet as her weapon[4], which she can retrieve from her purse through the use of subspace. She changes her hairstyle frequently and becomes anxious when Gideon is mentioned or brought up. Due to her power over Subspace travel thanks to the Glow, her head begins to glow when she is upset or jealous, though she herself is unaware of this until Kim Pine brings attention to it in Volume 5. Ramona now owns Scott's old sword, the "Power of Love".
Ramona is played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the film adaptation and in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. Shortly before filming began, Winstead received a list of ten secret facts about Ramona's past.[1] 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. However, Bryan Lee O'Malley has since denied this being canon, saying "I did not write ten things. I just sent a bunch of notes to Edgar Wright and Michael Bacall. Bacall created the ten things based on the notes. Lots of the things were jokes. It was just for fun... that particular "secret" isn't "canon" because I never used it in the book." Winstead later reprised the role in the Netflix anime adaptation, with Ramona given a much bigger role as the main protagonist.

Ramona presents a tough, independent exterior and behaves like a free-spirit (as evidenced by her constant dying of her hair). She does not hesitate to impose her views on Scott (such as criticizing the apartment he and Wallace live in) and can be quite bossy at times (such as telling Scott to get a job so that she does not have to travel through his lame dreams when she is at work). She also maintains a mysterious guise, telling Scott very little about herself, at least initially. Contrary to that, she strives to learn as much as possible about Scott's past relationships, nearly to the point of being intrusive. She is also rather humorous, quick-witted, and sarcastic. However, she is also a friendly and caring person in her own right. Despite her disdain for Envy Adams, she ultimately feels bad for her with the revelation of Todd cheating on her, even going to check up on her and telling Scott that she (Envy) needs to be comforted. She enjoys her relationship with Scott and noting that she likes that he is a "pleasant and simple-minded" person notes that she desires an earnest and caring partner.
However, Ramona's "mysterious" nature and tough exterior are really just to cover for her own insecurities. At the heart of things, Ramona is a runner. She fears commitment, describing it as "being stuck," which was a huge factor of why so many of her relationships have failed. Additionally, while Scott's relationship failures could be attributed to immaturity and ignorance, Ramona's was a lot more out of her own short-sightedness and selfishness. Her relationship with Patel came from how he was the only non-jock minority at the school, how she quickly dumped Lucas for Todd, her somewhat downplaying the emotional attachment with Roxie and even two-timing the Katayanagi twins with each other. And that does not even account for her and Gideon Graves. Additionally, she is also rather hypocritical. Beyond her relationship follies being a lot worse than Scott's mistakes, she will be accusatory of someone (usually Scott) of certain actions that she is doing (if she isn't doing worse.) It's also worth mentioning that she can be hypocritical at times; she accused Scott of treating his Exes (particularly the naive Knives Chau) when she did the same to all of her others (in particular, cheating on Lucas with Todd and dating the Twins behind their backs). This is somewhat pointed out when near the end of the story, we learn she spent her time separated from Scott like he did: moping around over in misery. Their friends couldn't help but note these similarities and how it made them perfect for the other. Deep down, Ramona is unhappy with the kind of person she is, and does not think she can change. As a result, she carries her baggage with her through most of the series.
At the end of the series, Ramona is still uncertain if she can change, but with Scott's encouragement, she is willing to try.

Uh hi
Ramona was born on January 1st, 1980. She spent her childhood growing up in the mountains. At age four, she took figure-skating lessons Little is known about Ramona's life before seventh grade, where she met Matthew Patel. She and Patel dated for only a week and a half, during which Ramona pretty much used Matthew and his mystical powers to ward off flocks of jocks interested in her. She dated Matthew, according to her own story, because he was the only non-white and non-jock kid at her school. The two only kissed once, and it ended shortly after due to Matthew's pre-adolescent capriciousness. Afterward, Patel moved far away It is unknown what she was doing in eighth grade, but in her freshman year she was stalked by Lucas Lee, who had a crush on her and continually asked her out. Flowers eventually relented and the two dated for a long period of time. According to her, all they did was sit on a curb and smoke. At some point in the relationship, Flowers cheated on and left him for the "first cocky pretty boy" that came by, Todd Ingram.
Ramona dated Todd for the remainder of high school, saying that they were the "bad kids" together. He vanished for two weeks while they dated, during which he went vegan and gained his telekinetic powers (having apparently been studied by scientists). Todd returned and took Ramona out of class to prove his love for her by blasting one of the two craters in the moon, causing what Ramona described as "about thirty pages of explosions and tidal waves". She placed her hand over her mouth in utter shock. Todd ended up going to a vegan college, though Ramona went to the The University of Carolina in the Sky, so the two decided to let each other go.
During her time in college, Ramona's roommate was Roxie Richter, who is a lesbian. Ramona was bi-curious and Richter was presumably already attracted to her, so the two began dating. During the fight between Scott and Roxie, it is implied that they had sex, which embarrasses Ramona. After post-secondary, they broke up and had not seen or heard much from one another. Ramona would later claim the relationship was "just a phase". At some point after breaking up with Roxie, Ramona dated the Katayanagi Twins, Kyle and Ken, but without each knowing about the other (basically cheating on both of them). When the truth was revealed, they dumped her, but the three of them developed no sense of hostility between each other.
Eventually, Ramona went to a party and met Gideon Graves there and quickly developed tender feelings for him. Despite Ramona's feelings for him, Gideon saw his relationship with Ramona purely as an experiment, during which he inflicted Ramona with The Glow. Fed up with him constantly pushing her away, Ramona decided to leave Gideon, leaving nothing except a letter. Unfortunately for Ramona, Gideon walked in on her just as she finished the letter. Filled with intense emotions, Ramona became overwhelmed by The Glow and vanished into Subspace, taking the letter with her. Traveling through Subspace, Ramona arrived in Toronto, Canada, where she found a job as a "Ninja delivery girl" for Amazon.ca. She also got a cat, which she named Gideon as a way of working out her affairs. Sometime later, Ramona was travelling through a desert in Subspace, where she heard Scott Pilgrim moaning about how alone he feels. As she passes by, she tells that he is not alone and is just having a dream. As she leaves, Scott asks if they could make out, but she gave no reply. One day, Ramona was tasked with delivering a package to the public library, where Scott spotted her, before she left. Ramona later invaded another dream where Scott was playing in a band with Stephen on vocals and guitar, Knives on the saxophone and Envy on the keyboard. Scott noticed Ramona in the crowd and immediately realized he was dreaming, to which she responded "Good call".
Shortly after, Ramona attended a party at Julie Powers' house. She was standing up against the wall with a drink in her hand, minding her own business, when Scott, who had been notified of her presence by Comeau, walked up to her. Scott immediately noticed her "haunting shoes" and complimented them. She accepted his compliment and told him they were from England. Scott asked her if he was dreaming; she immediately turned her head to him before they looked away in embarrassment. Scott then left, but secretly stalked her until she left the party. Later the next day, Scott placed an order on Amazon for some CDs. The company sent the package to Ramona, who was tasked to delivering them to Scott and Wallace's shared apartment. Ramona traveled through another lame dream (in a school hallway), and arrived at the apartment. Scott opened the door just as she rang the doorbell.
Scott immediately asked her out, but she turned him down, telling him he just has to sign for his package. Scott, desperate to keep the conversation going, told her he just saw her in his dreams, so she explained that the Subspace highway she uses goes through his head. Scott's confusion leads Ramona to see that Subspace isn't a subject taught at Canadian schools, nor do they know about them, explaining why Canada's highways are empty. Hearing this, Scott sees that she must be American, which she confirms, asking if she was giving off a rude vibe. Scott realizes that she does not remember him, so he tells her they met at Julie's party. Ramona suddenly remembers him, recalling his compliment about her shoes. She reminds him he still has a package to sign for, but Scott refuses to sign for it because she will leave if he does. Scott attempts to ask her out since she's new in Toronto. After Scott says he is obsessed her with her, Ramona makes a note to find a new delivery route. Scott tells her that either she can do that or she can hang out with him. Ramona agrees and they set a date. Scott signs for the package.
At 8:00 PM, the two meet at Hillcrest Park. Ramona notices an X-shaped patch on Scott's parka and inquires about it: Scott tells her that the patch means that "obviously one of us went to Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, and one of us didn't". Ramona saw this was an X-Men reference, calling Scott a nerd and asking if he sewed it himself, which he refused to answer. Scott asked her what made her move to Toronto, so she told him that she got her job at Amazon and she went to work for their Toronto branch, because Gideon kept saying how it was one of the great cities. Scott asked who "Gideon" was, so she told him he was just "a friend". She asked Scott about his last job, to which he said he was unemployed and between jobs. Playing on the swingset, Ramona apologized for getting Scott obsessed with her. Scott called his obsession weird, noting it had been a long time since he was obsessed. Whilst swinging on a swing, Ramona correctly guessed that Scott sleeps with a guy, prompting Scott to point out their poor living situation and lack of money for two beds or a bigger place. He also pointed out that they weren't gay, but then quickly remembered that Wallace was "pretty gay". Ramona, laughing, believed this.
Soon it started snowing. Scott confessed that he felt so stupid, which got Ramona to encourage that he probably wasn't. When he replied by saying he was "mostly stupid", she mused to herself that he was stupid if he wanted to go out with her. Scott asked if the weather was like this where she came from, to which she said it was. Ramona asked Scott where he was from. He told her he came from up north and was used to this weather. She replied that she was too, owing to growing up in the mountains. Scott asked Ramona if she was good on ice-skates, and she told him she took figure skating lessons when she was four years old. The snow got heavier and turned into a blizzard, so Ramona took him back to her house using a Subspace door.
As they took off their jackets and shook off the snow, Scott declared the date to be an "unmitigated disaster", but Ramona told him that "act of God" was better excuse for a lousy date. Upon saying "date", she told Scott that the word just slipped off her tongue. She climbed up the stairs, smiling to Scott, telling him that their date wasn't over yet. When they went into the kitchen, Ramona asked Scott what tea he wanted, before scrolling through her long list of teas. The two eventually settled on "Sleepytime tea". After pouring the tea, Ramona saw how cold he was and went to get him a blanket. After she didn't come back, Scott went to find her and found her room, accidentally stumbling upon her in the midst of changing. Ramona told him off, but Scott told her he was just cold. Ramona hugged him, telling him that she was also feeling very cold. As they looked deeply into each others eyes, they shared their first official kiss as a couple. Scott learned that Ramona was just going to bring the blanket from her bed and offered that they both get under it because they were both so cold. As Scott took off his shirt, Ramona stripped right down to her bra and underwear and they immediately jumped into each others arms. Just as they began to have sex, Ramona changed her mind, saying she didn't want to have sex right away. Scott respected her decision, but Ramona let him stay the night because of the snowstorm outside. In comparison to the movie adaptation and most of the comic series, Ramona gets a much bigger role in trying to figure out who faked her boyfriend, Scott Pilgrim's death, leading to her having to confront her own exes and solve the mystery of his disappearance.
