Changes: Knives Chau

Revision as of 07:51, 24 June 2010

Knives Chau is a 17-year-old Chinese-Canadian high school girl and self-described "Scottaholic". Scott dated her for a short while, but broke up with her after he met Ramona (though he initially "forgets" to break up with her). Initially a quiet, typical school girl, after their break-up, she cut and dyed her hair and changed her clothing style, hoping to win Scott back by becoming more of a hipster. Her discovery that Scott was cheating on her with Ramona causes tension between the two girls, sometimes culminating in actual fights, though later the two reach a level of acceptance of one another. She starts dating Sex Bob-omb's groupie Young Neil, although she is still in love with Scott. She and Young Neil later break up, but Knives still hangs out with the group, and by Volume 5 has developed a possibly mutual attraction to Stephen Stills. She used to idolize Envy Adams, based on her success as a musician and her former relationship with Scott, but is soon disenchanted when Envy has her drummer Lynette punch Knives hard enough to knock the highlights out of her hair. Knives' father becomes aware of Scott's past relationship with his daughter, causing him to hunt him down and try to kill him, though Scott later earns his acceptance. Knives is completely unaware of her father's plot and its subsequent resolution.

Knives and Scott

Scott and Knives met on a bus when Scott helped her pick up a stack of books she dropped while travelling home with her mother. Despite her being 17 and Scott being 23, the two have no problem with the age difference since nothing seems to happen between them apart from Knives talking about her day and Scott listening. Eventually she's invited to a practice session of Scott's group Sex Bob-omb and after hearing "Launchpad McQuack" (which is not the name of the song), is addicted to them, and Scott. Scott becomes more distant from Knives who is oblivious to the situation after Ramona shows up, and continues becoming closer and closer to him, eventually kissing him (which Scott is totally freaked out by). Knives becomes more and more enamoured and affectionate with Scott until he dumps her at the start of Volume 2. Stalking Scott for several days she learns of Ramona and immediately assumes her the enemy she must defeat to win Scott back.

Knives and Scott's relationship is complicated in more than a few ways as Knives is obsessed with Scott, and even protects Ramona in volume 3 from Envy since she just wants him to be happy. Despite how everyone else views Scott, Knives loves him unconditionally.

For her obsession, Knives is viewed along with Envy, to be be one of Scott's Evil Exes.

Knives and Ramona

Knives and Ramona have clashed several times and appear to have a kind of love/hate relationship centralizing around Scott. In volume 2, Knives attacks Ramona at the Toronto Reference Library with (surprise, surprise) a set of knives. Ramona assumes she's an assassin sent by Gideon, but she shrugs that off and declares herself a "Scottaholic." The melee ends with Knives leaving Ramona a knife on a blade reading "You're ugly, and I hate you" after learning Scott really did cheat on her with Ramona.

In volume 3, Knives, now dating Young Neil because he looks like Scott, protects Ramona from being smashed with her own hammer by Envy stating "I just want for him to be happy" when asked why.

In volume 5, she attacks Ramona in the bathroom and reveals Scott two-timing the pair of them in a brief skirmish which Ramona walks away from.

Knives and Kim

Knives and Kim have very little know dialogue before volume 4, despite this, Scott catches both of them, drunk, making out, in Julie's aunt's house at the beginning of the book after Knives says "I've kissed the lips that kissed you." This line is repeated from what she said to Envy in volume 3. Whether or not that line being the last thing said before make outs being given by Kim is up to speculation by all.
