Personality. Envy, as her name states, is perpetually fascinated by anything she finds beautiful, pretty or desirable she feels she's lacking in, like Disgust's hairstyle, some cool girls Riley ends up meeting, and the height and appearance of the other emotions.

Inside Out 2 was announced during the D23 Studio Showcase in September 2022, with Amy Poehler coming on stage alongside Pete Docter to surprise the audience with the announcement of the sequel being in development. Pixar then tweeted the announcement with a Summer 2024 release window.

Disney and Pixar's Inside Out 2 returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as Headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions.

Envy was originally planned to be a male character; however, for the sequel she became a female emotion. Originally, her main color was going to be emerald. But in the sequel it was changed to aquamarine, probably so as not to confuse her with Disgust and, in turn, winking at the expression "being green with envy".
