Ramona Flowers was ranked 70th in Comics Buyer's Guides "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list. Film adaptation Ramona is played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. O'Malley stated that some audience members perceived film Ramona as being "a colder character in the movie", and that a possible contributing factor was that the film was originally written and filmed with an ending involving Scott returning to Knives instead of moving on with Ramona. Shortly before filming began, Winstead received the list of facts about Ramona's past. 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. According to O'Malley, the particular detail about the brother is not applicable in the book version of Ramona. After Winstead learned she had the part, she began training to be the character in Los Angeles. The training included stunt training, pushups, and fight training. Winstead said that the training was "pretty cool" and "like being in some sort of kung fu camp." Wallace Wells Wallace Wells is Scott's "cool gay roommate". He is 25 years old and first met Scott in college; the circumstances in which they met are unknown—a flashback shows that both were drunk and headed to Wallace's. Wallace is more intelligent, responsible and mature than Scott: he holds down a job and pays for most of their expenses while they lived together as roommates. Most of their apartment's furniture and possessions belong to Wallace and he buys the majority of their groceries. Wallace serves as Scott's mentor during his trials, assisting Scott with training for his fights against Ramona's exes and gathering intel on them. He may have trained Scott in his fighting style, as Scott calls him a terrible master. He dates and later moves in with his "psychic" boyfriend, Mobile. The character was inspired by O'Malley's former roommate Christopher Butcher. Film adaptation Wallace is played by Kieran Culkin in the
