Kim Pine

So Far in Scott Pilgrim

Kim can be described as Scott Pilgrim’s first girlfriend who he saved from Simon Lee during high school. The relationship between her and Scott ended when he and his family moved to Toronto. Since, she moved to Toronto and meet up with a much changed Scott and became the drummer of his new band Sex Bob-omb (she was the drummer of his band back in high school Sonic & Knuckles). She is employed at the No-Account video and became a room mate to her co-worker Hollie, which ended when in Vol. 5 she revealed to Scott that she was moving back up Northern Ontario. When she departed she hardly confirmed if she were to come back, he ambiguously apologized for his actions.

Relationships

Kim is always annoyed at Scott’s actions and when someone talks about his previous/ current girlfriend she seems uncomfortable (Neil, and Stephen brought up Envy on some accounts wear she shrunk back and remarked on how pretty she was or when Ramona mentioned her she told her she was the cause of his change, also when bringing up Knives she would bring up a sarcastic remark about how brief the relationship between Scott and her.). She herself revealed to Ramona Flowers that she does not like to disclose to people that she and Scott had previously dated. Also, it was seen in a dream sequence (which she may have often) that Simon Lee had killed Scott and at his funeral where (it can be assumed) all his past girlfriends were present. She had also had a relationship with a friend named Jason Kim (Scott finds it humorous-Jason Kim & Kim Pine- several times). In addition, while celebrating Julie Powers birthday Scott found a drunk Kim and Knives making out- though it does not seem that she is in fact lesbian contrary to Scott’s thinking. It should be noted she shows a strong disliking for many people especially her old room mates.
