―Roxanne to Megamind

Roxanne Ritchi is the deuteragonist in the DreamWorks film, Megamind. She has been kidnapped by Megamind so many times as a way of luring Metro Man into a trap that she isn't phased by it happening any more.

Background

Not much is known about Roxanne's early life except that she used to go bike riding with her mother at the Metro City Park in her youth and that she used to be best friends with a girl named Vida in middle school.

Personality

What defines Roxanne is the fact that she is brave. If there is the wrongdoing of any kind afoot, she will try to stop it, even when it's clear she's at a disadvantage. She is very strong-minded, and she is very determined, so when she decides on doing something, she will do it. However, she isn't reckless; she will call for and accept help if the situation calls for it.

Despite being sarcastic at times, she truly believes in the goodness of people. This is why she is nice to everyone unless they prove her otherwise, and then it depends on the person. She is very honest, and one of the things she cares about the most is honesty and; although white lies are fine, she doesn't tolerate big lies. When she is angry, she can get physical, but she is willing to give second chances.

She cares deeply about the people around her and will try to protect them and help when there's trouble. She is also very smart and usually figures things out rather quickly. She is very nosy and will try to get to the bottom of whatever she is investigating. She can be quite observant, but she can sometimes overlook details when she is involved with something emotionally.

Physical Appearance

Roxanne is a very sassy and pretty woman of average height, with big blue eyes and short pixie-cut brown hair parted to the right. Her face is a bit squarish in shape, and she has a smattering of light freckles across her nose and cheeks. She also has a beauty spot a bit under her mouth and to the right. She has an average chest and wide hips, making her body pear-shaped in appearance. She wears a white short-sleeved button-up shirt with a black belt, a light grey plaid skirt, and black high-heeled shoes.

Abilities

Even though Roxanne is pretty much a normal human and, as such, doesn't have any superpowers, she does have very good investigating skills because of her job as a reporter and won't stop until she has all the facts.

Appearances

Megamind

She is a not-so dim-witted reporter who is the favorite victim of Megamind's kidnapping schemes to defeat Metro Man, believing that the two are a celebrity couple. She has actually been kidnapped so many times that she has become quite casual about the whole ordeal, even going as far as to try to get in an interview with Minion during one of these kidnappings.

She knows just almost everything about Megamind except that he harbors a secret crush on her. Going to grieve for Metro Man, she unknowingly encounters Megamind in the museum when he disguised himself as one of the employees, Bernard. Later she calls Megamind (Bernard) and schedules a date to try and decipher Megaminds plan (which Megamind is all too happy to accept). The two become closer and Roxanne eventually finds out Megamind's plan to create a hero to fight. Hal, who is in love with Roxanne, is infused with Metro Man's powers but turns evil when Roxanne turns him down.

On a date with Megamind (disguised as Bernard once again), Roxie ends up finding out his secret when she accidentally turned off his disguise generator during a kiss. She confronts him outside and finds out that Megamind cares about her and isn't trying to trick her. She dumps him due to his past and his deception. She later teams up with him to try and defeat Tighten. They discover that Metro Man isn't really dead, just retired. Megamind turns himself in, and Roxanne confronts Tighten, which only leads to her capture, presumably to lure Megamind out so he can kill him. Megamind comes to her rescue and during an epic battle. Roxanne notices the Invisible Car and tells Megamind. Unfortunately, the defuser gun is warming up, and Tighten throws him in the air, hoping he will fall to his demise. Tighten then corners Roxanne at the fountain, about to kill her using heat vision (exactly how he tried to kill Megamind). However, Megamind lands between them and defuses Tighten. Roxanne then congratulates Megamind on his victory, to which he replies that this time, he had a reason to win: her. She is last seen with Megamind and the mayor of Metro City dancing to "Bad".
