Kim

Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life

Kimberly "Kim" Pine (b. October 1981) is the drummer for Sex Bob-omb, Stephen Stills' and Scott's band, and one of the seven main characters of the Scott Pilgrim franchise.

During gigs (or even just when practicing at home) Kim counts in the band, usually by screaming some variation of: "We are Sex Bob-omb!!".

She is 23 years old (24 in Volume 5 onwards) and was Scott's first girlfriend, whom he "saved" from Simon Lee back when they met in high school.

The two broke up when Scott's family moved away to Toronto, and when Kim moved to Toronto herself, they formed Sex Bob-omb with Scott's former bandmate, Stephen Stills. Kim is employed at No-Account Video throughout the series, working alongside Hollie Hawkes.

Scott Pilgrim graphic novels[]

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World[]

Kim is played by Alison Pill whose previous works include roles in Milk, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, and Dan in Real Life. Pill also provides the voice of Kim in the animated short Scott Pilgrim vs. The Animation which details her first meeting with Scott, his rescuing her from Simon Lee, and their brief relationship in high school. In the film, Kim's wounded feelings concerning Scott are more emphasized and her sarcastic comments are largely directed at him. Unlike the comic or game, Kim is never really seen in a relationship with Knives Chau, and only talks to her a few times.

WE ARE SEX BOB OMB AND WE'RE HERE TO WATCH SCOTT PILGRIM KICK YOUR TEETH IN!!!

The depth of her ire against Scott is evidenced by the fact that she does not offer a sincere smile and maintains a fierce stare throughout most of the film, blinking (also note that the film director told all the actors not to blink for a comic book effect)only a few times and almost never breaking eye contact. Despite her resentment she does offer Scott some advice regarding Ramona just before they face off against the Katayanagi twins. Although she signs on with Gideon, she is less than enthusiastic about taking orders from him, and she surreptitiously flips him off after he calls her "Kimberly". She then goes on to announce the band by dryly stating "We are Sex Bob-Omb and we are here to make money and sell out and stuff".

When Scott uses his extra life to replay the confrontation with Gideon, he takes a moment to apologize to Kim for his behavior and himself, earning him some extra points and causing her to crack a genuine smile for the first time in the film. When Scott cues her to play she turns against Gideon by shouting "WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB AND WE'RE HERE TO WATCH SCOTT PILGRIM KICK YOUR TEETH IN!!!"and motivates the band to play a more enthusiastic version of their fight music.

After Gideon is defeated, Kim states that Sex Bob-omb's business deal has just ended, prompting Stephen Stills to frantically grab as much of the reward money as he can. Neil, thinking they are made out of chocolate, sticks one of the coins in his mouth. An annoyed Kim pretends to shoot herself for the second time in the movie.

Kim is one of the four initial characters that can be picked in the game. Her Striker is Knives kissing her (as is what happened in Volume 4) and recovering 15 HP at the cost of around 7 GP. It also has the secondary effect of "Freaking out" all enemies on screen (with the exception for robot enemies, dogs and bosses, who receive small damage plus a minor hit-stun). In the game, Kim Pine has red hair and wears a black and white jacket, blue skirt, sneakers, knee high socks.

Endings[]

  • Her ending in the game takes off the scene from in Volume 4, where she and Knives become a couple together much to the shock of Scott and Stephen.
  • In Scott's ending, she along with Knives and Envy all date Scott at the same time after Ramona leaves him.
  • In Stephen Stills' ending, she along with her band-mates, Scott and Stephen, become very popular and rich with their band (though it's hinted it may just be a dream).
  • In Nega Scott's ending, Kim, along with her friends, and Scott, are the slaves of Scott's negative side.
  • In Knives' ending, Kim appears as one of the spectators to Knives and Scott's wedding, while Scott himself is completely confused.

Appearance[]

KimPineFace

Kim as she appears in Volume 1.

Kim is a fair skinned young girl of average height with three freckles on each one of her cheeks. She has red hair, styled in a bob shoulder-length haircut. In Scott's flashback, however, we see that her hair was long and tied back into a ponytail during her high school years.

Although much like the other characters, Kim changes her outfit frequently. She’s mostly seen sporting various kinds of tracksuit jackets with varying colours. In the game, she wears a black and white tracksuit with a skirt.

Kim pretending to shoot herself

Kim has a sarcastic personality and is known to be a misanthrope. You might say that she has somewhat of an inferiority complex, as she looks down at her knees, sullen, and laments Envy's beauty.

Trivia[]

  • Kim-Pine-Style

    Kim's early design in the comic Style

    She has been the drummer for 3 of Scott's bands, Sonic and Knuckles, Sex Bob-omb and Shatter Band. She also played as the drummer in her school band prior to this.
  • Kim always shouts: "WE ARE [BAND NAME]!" before every song, regardless of whether they are playing at a live gig or just practicing.
  • Her most recent boyfriend, Jason Kim, cheated on her with her roommate Hollie Hawkes.
  • Kim dated Scott in high school, but broke up with him when Lisa told her that Scott was moving to Toronto.
  • Technically speaking, Kim Pine was the first Scott Pilgrim character ever created. Bryan Lee O'Malley originally came up with her all the way back in the late 90s. She was originally conceived as part of a mutant super-team. Over the next few years, the character drifted from one story idea to another, changing quite a bit over time, until she made her published debut as a Scott Pilgrim character. (For more info, see here, here and here.)
  • Scott is one month older than her. If meant literally, that means her birthday is October 27, which is dangerously close to Halloween, and might explain why she is so grim. Bryan Lee O'Malley also planned for her birthday to be in "late October".[1]
  • An early version of Kim and Lisa appear in a mini-comic by Bryan Lee O'Malley called "Style", about three ridiculous girls in high school. In this comic, Kim is a brunette with blonde highlights while Lisa frequently changes her hair color, similar to Ramona. (For more info, see here.)
  • Kim is of medium height (about 5'5'').[2]
  • Kim is the only one of Scott's exes that Ramona doesn't fight.
