Roxanne "Roxie" Richter ("Roxy" in the movie) is a major antagonist in the graphic novel Scott Pilgrim and its movie adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
She is a member of the League of Evil Exes, and the only woman Ramona Flowers dated as her 4th ex. In the movie, Ramona says she only dated Roxy during her "bi-curious" phase and didn't count their relationship as "real". She serves as the main antagonist of the series' fourth volume, Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together.
In the movie, she was portrayed by Mae Whitman, who also voiced Huntsgirl in American Dragon Jake Long and Helen Braidwell in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Personality[]
Roxanne is crazy and always irritated, but this is due to a huge inferiority complex because of her half-ninja state. She also gained the complex when Ramona stated their relationship was "just a phase".
Biography[]
Comics[]
Ramona's former roommate at the University of Carolina in the Sky, she was, according to Ramona herself, just a phase she went through (referred to as a "sexy phase" by titular character Scott Pilgrim). She broke up with her after leaving college and lost contact for some time.
In the comics, Roxie does not share the hostility towards Ramona that the other Exes do, wanting to kill Scott because she believes he is a coward who is undeserving of Ramona. She tries to attack Scott during his return from work. He punches her in the breast, much to her disgust and his chagrin (he doesn't like fighting girls), causing her to leave. He meets Ramona at a restaurant talking to Roxie, where he learns that she is the next ex he must fight, but Ramona fights her instead as Scott claims he doesn't have a sword. She chases both into subspace and attacks Scott in his dreams, but he wakes up before she can finish him. After escaping Knives Chau's father and tricking him into fighting Roxie, they run into the backyard and Scott finally decides to man up and gains the "Power of Love" sword, which he uses to literally slice Roxie in half, where she bursts into a cascade of woodland creatures.
Film[]
In the movie, Roxie's view of Ramona is changed, and she is just as hostile to her as she is to Scott. She first assaults Scott before his fight with Todd Ingram, claiming that they will meet again. After Todd's defeat, Ramona takes Scott to a night club called "4" as he complains about fighting the exes. At the bar, Roxy attacks Scott again, but Ramona fights for him when he refuses to fight against her. However, she throws Ramona's hammer out of the club, forcing Ramona to use Scott's body as a shield. But she kicks Ramona away and pins Scott to the ground. When she is about to deal the final blow, Ramona tells Scott to touch the back of her knee, causing her to fall to the floor and orgasm until she bursts in 4000 points and coins.
Video game[]
Roxy is fought at the end of World 4. She is fought at a speeding bus, but escapes by slicing through with her whip-sword and running through a nearby neighborhood and into a garden. Being the quickest boss in the game, the player must dodge her attacks constantly and wait for an opportunity to strike her. When defeated, she will split in half and explode in small animals. Collecting them will give some money to Scott, each animal being worth $24.95.
Anime[]
Main Article: Roxie Richter (anime)
Powers and Abilities[]
Her skills include vanishing and enhanced agility, but what marks Roxanne so much is the whip-sword she uses as a belt, always waiting to be used. In the film version, she has a specific weak spot, the back of her knee; touching it causes her to experience a massive orgasm that defeats her instantly.

Trivia[]
- The character has numerous references to the number 4, for example:
- In the movie, the club she is fought in is called 4.
- In the movie, her nickname is reduced to "Roxy", which has only four letters in it.
- She attacks Scott 4 times during their first encounter.
- Before her first appearance in the novels, she and Ramona hadn't seen each other in 4 years.
- She and Scott fight 4 times before she's defeated. When defeated, she explodes into 2 sets of 4 bunnies and 4 birds.
- She is a lesbian, which refers to that the 4% of the human population is homosexual.
- One of Roxie's moves in the game is teleporting while leaving a stump of wood where she once was, likely a reference to ninja in video games and anime such as Samurai Showdown and Naruto, given her half-ninja nature.
- Whenever Scott fights one of the League's members, a versus icon (VS) appears between them, but unlike the other members, Roxy's icon is pink instead of the usual blue. This might be because Scott is fighting a woman.
- Her whip sword is a reference to Ivy's blade in Soul Calibur.
- Roxie's weakness in the film - where she "dies" from orgasm when the back of her knee is touched - was Envy Adams' weakness in the original comic. Also in the film, her defeat causes her to burst into coins (much like the other Exes) and does not gain Scott the Power of Love, as in this version he gains that later before fighting Gideon.
