Played by Johnny´s love interest in real life Winona Ryder, later reduced to Wino-praising tattoo on the his arm, Kim Boggs is at forst, could be said, a teen rebel, who hangs out with friends of no angel choir. She gets a thourough fright at her first meeting with Edward, who "wets" her bed and is, clearly, a lot more terrified by this teenage drama queen than she is by him. Her mother Peg as a peacemaker, she is then "properly" introduced to Edward, who is so stunned by either the sight of Kim or Bill´s nerve calmer lemonade, that he crashes a onto the floor.

Through several peculiar, funny and sweet encounters Kim learns to care about Edward. Her jealous and rude boyfriend Jim treats her like a property gone into wrong hands and Edward as an easy target to use in his advantage.Winona Ryder really opens up as Kim during the scenes of The Ice dance, fight in the castle and her spontanious act of grabbing the "scissorhand" and diaolog with townfolks coming to lynch Edward.

She remains the angel in astounding white dress, almost inseparable from the image of Edward Scissorhands himself in all the visual quotes you meet in magazines, books, TV shows and web pages.
