Roxanne "Roxy" Harvey is a fictional character on the Showtime comedy-drama Dead Like Me.
[edit] Fictional character history
Roxy was strangled with leg warmers by a jealous friend after inventing them.[1] Roxy and George are the only other reapers of the group with a day job. She used to be a meter maid for the city, but entered the police academy at the beginning of the second season.[2]
She is a no-nonsense woman with respect to both reaping and her day job, and carried a handgun to keep arguments over parking tickets short.[3] She is the only reaper on the series who used her powers in anger, when she temporarily removed the soul of a particularly rude motorist,[4] thereby alerting him to the existence of a higher power. The man subsequently started a religion around her, much to Rube's dismay (The man reverted to his usual enraged self when Roxy crushed his testicles). She has confessed to not sleeping because of nightmares. Rube considers Roxy to be his "second in command" and left her in charge when he went away. Assigned to investigate the disappearance of Ray Summers, Roxy knows that Daisy and Mason had something to do with it, but chose to cover for them, claiming that Ray ran off to Portland.
She is the most recent reaper after George, but is more mature than Daisy and Mason, who died before her. Over time, George and Roxy develop a near-friendship as George acquires a greater sense of responsibility, impressing Roxy given her own police duties.
