Amy Pond

Amelia Jessica "Amy" Williams (née Pond) was the first companion of the Doctor in his eleventh incarnation. She was the girlfriend and later wife of human nurse Rory Williams, and the mother of River Song. When River married the Doctor, Amy became his mother-in-law. Amy died aged 87 in an unknown time period before 2012 after allowing a Weeping Angel to send her back in time so she could be reunited with her husband, who had been touched by the Angel. She was buried with her husband in a graveyard in Queens, New York.

Birth and early life
Amelia was born in Scotland in 1989. Her parents, Augustus and Tabetha Pond, were swallowed by the crack in her wall and Amelia was raised by her aunt Sharon in the small town of Leadworth. Despite living so long in England, she never lost her Scottish accent. (TV: The Big Bang)

Meeting the Doctor
Amelia encountered the Eleventh Doctor and her own adult self at a fair circa 1994. She would not remember the Doctor, and retained only a vague memory of the red-haired woman in the odd white dress (her sleepwear), who bought her an ice cream cone to replace the one which she had dropped. Dropping and losing the ice cream, and receiving the new one, would remain among her saddest and happiest memories respectively. (HOMEVID: Good Night)

Amelia properly met the Eleventh Doctor in April 1996. His TARDIS, damaged by his regeneration, crashed in her backyard garden. As she had been praying to Santa Claus to send a policeman to investigate the crack, Amelia initially took the TARDIS' anachronistic police box appearance at face value and asked the Doctor if he was the policeman whom she had requested. The Doctor had a "raggedy" appearance, as he was still wearing the tattered remains of the Tenth Doctor's suit and adjusting to his new body and tastes. (TV: The Eleventh Hour)

He offered to take her with him, despite her being, at only seven years of age, considerably younger than even the stowaway Adric was. (TV: Full Circle) In order to stop the TARDIS engines phasing, had to first take a quick trip five minutes into the future. She took the opportunity to pack a small suitcase and return to the garden. (TV: The Eleventh Hour)

Amy waited for twelve years, unaware that a criminal multi-form called Prisoner Zero was hiding in her house. (TV: The Eleventh Hour)

Adolescence
While waiting, Amelia was obsessed with her "Raggedy Doctor". She created dolls, comics, and dress-up games about him and made her friends take part. Sharon sent Amelia to four psychiatrists who told her the Doctor wasn't real. She bit them. (TV: The Eleventh Hour) In secondary school, her best friends were Rory Williams and Melody ("Mels") whom Amelia and Rory did not know was actually their daughter from the 52nd century. Amelia was consistently the dominant member of the trio. Throughout primary and secondary school, Amelia unwittingly reared Mels, serving in loco parentis and lecturing her after each of her myriad discipline problems. Meanwhile, Rory went submissively along with Amelia's instructions and took her mild abuse, so long as it allowed him to be near her. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) Aside from the Raggedy Doctor, her other interests included the Roman occupation of Britain; she had several books on the subject and insisted her Aunt Sharon let her attend the museum exhibit of the Pandorica. (TV: The Pandorica Opens, The Big Bang)

Because of Rory's timidity toward making any romantic overtures toward Amy, and his obvious disinterest in other girls, Amy assumed him to be a homosexual. In their late teens, Mels made Amy realise Rory's feelings toward her and she returned his affections. In doing so, Mels paradoxically caused her own existence. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)

Second meeting with the Doctor
The Doctor returned in 2008 when she was calling herself "Amy" to distance herself from her "fairy tale" name. She was Rory's girlfriend and worked as a kissogram. Though dubious, she helped the Doctor defeat Prisoner Zero and warn the Atraxi never to return to Earth. He took two years to take the TARDIS to the moon to break in the new engines. Amy was engaged to be wed to Rory on 26 June 2010. The night before, the Doctor returned to keep his fourteen-year-old promise. She joined him on condition she be returned before morning. She did not mention her wedding. (TV: The Eleventh Hour)

Travels with the Doctor
The Doctor took Amy to Starship UK in the 33rd century. It was secretly piloted by a star whale who was tortured to keep the ship moving. Amy freed it, and it continued to pilot the ship because it was kind-hearted. (TV: The Beast Below)

Heeding a call for help, they went to war-torn London in 1941 to meet Winston Churchill and inadvertently aid the rebirth of the Daleks. Amy helped deactivate the oblivion continuum inside Bracewell by convincing him he was human. (TV: Victory of the Daleks)

Amy next ended up on a rubbish asteroid called the Gyre, which was to be destroyed by a nanobomb. She befriended the Sittuun Charlie and saved the Doctor from the devolved descendants of humans stranded there centuries before. (PROSE: Night of the Humans)

The Doctor next took her to New York for the best burgers in all history, buying the street they were sold on in her name to get them for free; she wanted to shop with the psychic paper instead. However, this plan was derailed when she had to save him and all Manhattan from being kidnapped by tiny aliens known as the Vykoids. She was remembered by them as the reason they failed in their mission. (PROSE: The Forgotten Army)

They next went to a museum in the 171st century, where they found a Home Box with a message from River Song. They travelled to the 51st century to rescue her. All three went to Alfava Metraxis to help the Church defeat an army of Weeping Angels the crashed Byzantium had awakened. Amy nearly died because of Angel Bob. (TV: The Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone)

After this trauma, Amy told the Doctor she was getting married and tried to seduce him. He collected Rory and took them to romantic Venice in 1580 to repair their relationship. Amy was almost converted into a Saturnyn by Rosanna and her son, Francesco. She rescued Rory from Francesco, killing for the first time. (TV: The Vampires of Venice)

The TARDIS crew was trapped between two worlds by the malevolent Dream Lord. He taunted Amy about her confused relationship with the Doctor and Rory, forcing her to choose between them. When Rory died in one dream, she realised she did not wish to live without him. On finding him alive in reality, she made it clear to him for the first time that his feelings were fully reciprocated. (TV: Amy's Choice)

In 2020 Cwmtaff, Wales, Amy witnessed the revival of a city of Silurians. After an aborted attempt to form an alliance between humans and them, during which she spoke for mankind, Rory was killed and erased from reality by another of the cracks in space and time. Amy lost all her memories of him. (TV: The Hungry Earth / Cold Blood)

The Doctor and Amy found the Daleks had destroyed the human race in 1963, using the Eye of Time to alter history. They went through the Eye to Skaro before the Daleks arrived. Amy began disappearing. She used this condition to collect parts for the Doctor to build a vision disruptor and sneaked by the Daleks to set it to blind them as they arrived. The Doctor overloaded the magnetic field generators. The Daleks lost the Eye and never used it to alter history. (GAME: City of the Daleks)

The Doctor and Amy arrived in GSO Arctic Drilling Station. A nano-virus spread by Cybermats had turned the crew into Cyberslaves to recover Cybermen trapped beneath the ice millennia before. Amy used a reprogrammed distress beacon to disable the Cybermats. The Cyberslaves captured Amy and nearly converted her, but the Doctor rescued her and defeated them. (GAME: Blood of the Cybermen)

They visited Smyslov 3 for the first time to find their future selves had just visited and caused much damage. Tanik threatened to imprison them, but the TARDIS took off before he could disable the ship. (WC: Wish You Were Here)

While looking for parts for a tractor beam to rescue the Doctor from a spacetime riptide, Amy accidentally released the Entity from its container in the TARDIS. The Entity created a lesion in time, sent her a thousand years into the future and began to feed on her timeline. The Doctor sent Amy a Tachyon Feedback Loop to return to him. He captured the Entity and sent it into the riptide to gorge on the four-dimensional Chronomites without harming them. (GAME: TARDIS)

They found a vacation spot, Poseidon 8 in the 23rd century, attacked by a Zaralok, occupied by the Vashta Nerada and its people suffering "sickness". Amy helped the Doctor restore power to the undersea farming facility. She was led to a World War II era warship, the USS Eldridge. It had brought the Zaralok and Vashta Nerada through a dimensional vortex caused by a malfunctioning cloaking device. The Doctor and Amy deactivated the device, returning the Zaralok and Vashta Nerada to their proper timelines. (GAME: Shadows of the Vashta Nerada)

Amy and the Doctor next followed a distress signal to a family spaceship where a Dalek scientist was attempting to steal the technology. When the engine overloaded, the whole Jones family were scattered into space and time, and the Doctor and Amy travelled to many different locations, such as an ancient Ican temple facing many different monsters like Cybermen and Silurians on their quest to find and help the family.(Doctor Who: The mazes of time)



The Doctor, feeling guilty for Rory's loss, took Amy to wonderful places. On one of these trips, they met Vincent van Gogh in 1890 France with whom Amy developed a close bond. She was deeply upset that despite their efforts, he still killed himself. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)

The TARDIS dematerialised from a park in Colchester, leaving the Doctor stuck in Essex and Amy trapped in the TARDIS. After they were reunited, Amy found her engagement ring in the Doctor's jacket. She could not attach any memories to it, but felt a strange connection. (TV: The Lodger)

Amy and the Doctor visited Space Florida a week before the events of the Doctor's erasure. (TV: The Big Bang)

Restarting the Universe
Amy met River Song again, caught up in a trap for the Doctor set by an alliance of his enemies at Stonehenge in 102. She was reunited with Rory, who was now an Auton. Her memories of him returned and he shot her. (TV: The Pandorica Opens)

The Doctor put Amy in the Pandorica. Rory watched over her for two thousand years until she was resurrected in 1996 by her younger self. The TARDIS had exploded and cracked time. To repair the universe, the Doctor sacrificed himself into the cracks. Amy restored the family she had lost, as well as a human Rory. The Doctor was erased from time.

Amy was married to Rory. At the reception she caught sight of River Song passing by the window. She found River's diary on the table and remembered details of the Doctor, then recalled him entirely and restored him to reality with her time-altered mind. The Doctor, Rory and she bade goodbye to Leadworth and departed on another adventure: an Egyptian goddess loose on the Orient Express in space. (TV: The Big Bang)

Honeymoon
The Doctor gave the newlyweds a trip to a honeymoon planet -- a planet on a honeymoon with an asteroid -- just before his TARDIS was stolen by the Claw Shansheeth of the 15th Funeral Fleet. (TV: Death of the Doctor) Amy insisted the Doctor carry her mobile phone with him to keep in touch. (WC: The Night After Hallowe'en)

Amy and Rory almost crashed on Ember. She took on the role as the Ghost of Christmas Present to coax Kazran Sardick into letting the ship she was on land safely. After Abigail Pettigrew and the Doctor's broken sonic screwdriver opened the planet's cloud belt to save the ship, the Doctor suggested a moon made of honey as a destination. He said there were some lovely views, but it was technically alive and slightly carnivorous. (TV: A Christmas Carol)

Near the end of their honeymoon, the TARDIS materialised inside itself after Rory had an accident while helping the Doctor conduct routine maintenance. Amy encountered a future version of herself, with whom she flirted. The Doctor used the resulting space loop to end it. (TV: Space / Time)

As a Ganger
Amy and Rory returned to Earth soon after they had left. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut) Amy was pregnant and was kidnapped by Madame Kovarian and the Church. She was replaced by a ganger duplicate to whom her mind was linked, making it seem she had not been abducted. (TV: The Almost People, A Good Man Goes to War)

About this time, she received a TARDIS blue invitation. Rory and she joined the Doctor and River Song for a picnic at Lake Silencio, Utah on 22 April 2011. A younger version of River hidden inside an astronaut suit shot the Doctor dead, though he was actually a Teselecta double. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut, The Wedding of River Song) After burning the "corpse", Amy, Rory and River went to a diner to find a younger Eleventh Doctor had been invited too. Amy persuaded him to find the younger version of the fourth guest in 1969, when they found malevolent aliens, the Silents, who had been ruling Earth since the Stone Age. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut)

After three months of running, Amy was brought back to the Doctor by Canton. Silents kidnapped Amy again and told her she would "bring the silence". After the Doctor started a revolution against them, Amy rejoined him on travels through time and space with Rory in tow. (TV: Day of the Moon)

Landing in the 17th century, Amy helped the Doctor stop a Siren abducting the crew of a pirate ship, the Fancy. The Siren was really a virtual doctor from an invisible spaceship in the same space as the Fancy. Its crew commandeered the ship to see the stars. Amy saved a drowned Rory's life with CPR after he convinced her she could do it. While she slept on the Fancy, Amy awoke to notice the woman again looking through a hatch, this time looking directly at her. (TV: The Curse of the Black Spot)

The Doctor steered the TARDIS into a bubble universe to look for the Time Lord the Corsair, who had sent a distress signal. Amy and Rory were trapped inside the TARDIS by House, who planned to use it to escape to find new food. To amuse itself, House used the TARDIS' temporal nature to torment Amy; she was made to believe Rory had died of old age. They were saved by the Doctor, who regained entry to the TARDIS and used its very soul to expel/kill House. (TV: The Doctor's Wife)

A solar tsunami sent the TARDIS crashlanding in the 22nd century. Amy became involved in a ganger revolution, helping them achieve equality despite being wary of the ganger Doctor.



During this time, Amy saw the Eyepatch Lady twice. The Doctor dismissed her as a "time memory." Amy let his impending death slip to the Doctor. After the ganger Doctor had stopped the revolution, the Doctor promised to find her and destroyed her ganger body. Amy awoke in her real body on Demon's Run. She was full-term pregnant and the Eye Patch Lady, Madame Kovarian, ordered her to push. Amy entered labour with a horrified scream. (TV: The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People)

Becoming a mother
Amy named her and Rory's daughter Melody for her friend, Mels. However, unbeknownst to her, Melody was taken by Madame Kovarian and replaced by a ganger to help trap the Doctor. The Doctor and Rory came with an army, took Demon's Run and rescued Amy. After the Battle of Demon's Run, Amy discovered Kovarian's ruse far too late. River appeared and told them she was Melody. The Doctor left in search of the baby, leaving Amy to be returned home by her adult daughter. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War) Because of what happened at Demon's Run she became incapable of having children. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks)

Tired of waiting "all summer" for the Doctor, Amy had Rory drive through a field in Leadworth to make a crop circle saying "Doctor". The TARDIS arrived, to be hijacked at gunpoint by Mels, on the run from the police for stealing a car. The TARDIS crashed in Berlin in 1938; shot by Hitler, Mels regenerated into the form of River Song. Amy realised that Mels was her daughter Melody. Controlled by her training, Melody gave the Doctor a poisoned kiss. Amy convinced her the Doctor was worth saving and saw her daughter sacrifice her remaining regenerations to revive him. Her parents left Melody, who realised that she was the River Song the Doctor and his companions had mentioned, in a hospital to find her own path. Amy again rejoined the Doctor. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)

Nearing the end
The TARDIS landed on Earth in 2011, following a distress signal from a Tenza named George to a block of flats. Amy and Rory knocked on many doors, but failed to find him. They entered a lift and were dropped into a doll's house where George kept everything he feared. The house was inhabited by peg dolls. Amy was caught and added to their ranks to chase Rory and other people there. When George overcame his fear, Amy was restored to normal along with the other victims. (TV: Night Terrors)

On the universe's second most popular vacation planet, Apalapucia, Amy accidentally admitted herself into a facility for Chen-7, a plague deadly to beings with two hearts like the Doctor. The Handbots running the facility mistook her for a patient and kept almost killing her. She hid and waited for rescue. She was ultimately rescued by the Doctor, Rory, and a future version of herself trapped on Apalapucia for thirty-six years. (TV: The Girl Who Waited)

Amy and Rory went to China in the 13th century. The guards of the Liao Palace attacked them for taking food. After the TARDIS took off, it collided with a Rutan ship, which crashed on the future site of the Houses of Parliament. It put its occupants in stasis until 1605, when it sent a distress call. The TARDIS responded and landed in London. Beneath Parliament, Amy and Rory discovered Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby plotting with the Rutan Lady Winters to blow up Parliament and kill King James I. Amy and Rory found the Rutan ship and helped find the power rods for the ship to take off. They were caught in a conflict between Sontarans and Rutans over the Rutans' two doomsday weapons. The Doctor reprogrammed one of the weapons to target Rutans, resulting in a stalemate. (GAME: The Gunpowder Plot)

Departure from the Doctor
In a prison for a Minotaur, where everyone had a room holding their nightmare, Amy found hers: her younger self, waiting for the Doctor. To defeat the Minotaur, the Doctor destroyed Amy's faith in him. After this, he returned Amy and Rory to a new house some time before they had left, leaving them behind to save them from further risks. Amy was upset, but accepted it. She asked the Doctor to tell River to visit them if he saw her. (TV: The God Complex)

Amy became a model and was involved in a campaign for Petrichor, a perfume whose name and campaign evoked an adventure with the Doctor. By the time the Doctor and Craig Owens defeated a Cyberman invasion, Amy was famous enough to be seen signing autographs. (TV: Closing Time)

After an alternate timeline was reverted, Amy sat in her garden, despondent over the Doctor's death and her own cold-blooded murder of Kovarian. River, fresh from the crash of the Byzantium, arrived to tell Amy the truth behind her lies, including the Doctor's "death". This lifted Amy's spirits until she realised she had been destined to be her best friend's mother-in law since she was seven. (TV: The Wedding of River Song)

In 2013, the Doctor joined Amy and Rory for Christmas dinner. (TV: The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe)

Occasional companion
The Doctor continued to travel alone, but kept in touch with Amy and Rory at least monthly. Once, in the middle of the night, he stopped by to pick the couple up to help save the universe, but realised he had arrived too early and they did not know what he was talking about. Later, an Ood wandered out of the TARDIS and into their bathroom. With the Doctor unable to pick up the Ood right away, he acted as Amy and Rory's butler while he stayed there, which made the couple very uncomfortable. At an unknown point, the Doctor was able to pick the Ood up and return him to his proper time and place. He left Amy and Rory a message saying he would be seeing them again very soon; this occurred as Amy and Rory had a fight, and Rory stormed out. (WC: Pond Life) This was later revealed as Amy's misguided attempt to let Rory have a happier life and have children which she was incapable from having. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks) After leaving the message, the Doctor thought better of it and used the sonic screwdriver to erase the message over the phone. Amy, upon entering and seeing the answering machine with no messages, tearfully said "We need you, Raggedy Man. I need you." (WC: Pond Life) The Daleks took Amy, Rory and the Doctor to the Parliament of the Daleks. There, the Daleks asked them to save the Daleks from the insane Daleks from the Dalek Asylum by switching off the planet's defences. They were fired into the planet. Amy was slowly being converted into a Dalek puppet by the nanocloud with her love being drained. Rory tried to save her by giving her his protective wristband, telling her that the nanocloud would have less effect on him, since he had more love. He had always loved her more than she loved him. Amy responded that she had only divorced him because she knew she couldn't have children. They reconciled. The converted Dalek Oswin erased knowledge of the Doctor from the Daleks' Path Web and lowered the Asylum's defences. At the last moment, the Doctor and his companions teleported into the TARDIS and escaped the Daleks. Amy and Rory returned home. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks)

Sometime following her return from the Dalek Asylum, Amy gave up her modelling career. Ten months after their last adventure, the Doctor materialised the TARDIS around Amy, Rory, and Rory's father, Brian, who were repairing a light in Amy and Rory's living room. The Doctor took them, Queen Nefertiti of Egypt and John Riddell, a 20th century game hunter, to 2367 to investigate a ship that was headed straight to Earth and would reach it in six hours. Upon entering, they immediately found it contained dinosaurs.

Amy discovered the vessel was a Silurian Ark. Solomon, who had forced the Doctor to bring him back to health so he could make off with the cargo, had killed all the Silurians on the ark. Discovering he had a few hours until the ISA launched missiles at the ship and unable to pilot the ark, Solomon took the most valuable thing on the ship identified by his IV system, Nefertiti. The Doctor magnetised the ark, trapping Solomon's ship inside. Amy and Riddell defended the control deck from raptors with non-lethal rounds while the Doctor searched for the object emitting the ark's signal. The Doctor released Solomon's ship once he put the signal of the ark inside Solomon's ship. The ISA missiles destroyed Solomon and Rory and Brian piloted the ark to safety. The Doctor returned Amy and Rory home, and took Brian on a tour through time and space, from where he sent postcards to his his son and daughter-in-law. (TV: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)

In the same year, Amy and Rory travelled to Cwmtaff to wave at their younger selves during their adventure with the Doctor where they first encountered the Silurians. (TV: The Hungry Earth)

Attempting to take his in-laws to Mexico's Day of the Dead festival, the Doctor ended up in 1870 Mercy, Nevada. Mercy was under siege by the Kahler cyborg Kahler-Tek, also known as the Gunslinger. Tek was after scientist Kahler-Jex, whom the townsfolk had taken in, and had cut off supply deliveries. The Doctor learnt Jex experimented on his people to create living weapons to win a long war; he became Mercy's doctor in repentance. Tek was a "subject" who regained his sense of self, killing the scientists that experimented on him in revenge. While having no interest in the town, he warned the Doctor he would start killing if Jex wasn't handed over.

Tired of the innocents getting hurt due to his mercy, the enraged Doctor nearly handed Jex over to Tek, only to be talked down by Amy. Mercy's marshal Isaac was accidentally killed when he pushed Jex out of the path of Tek's weapon. In his dying breath, Isaac made the Doctor marshal. Distraught by what he'd done, Tek made a bluff: hand Jex over by noon the next day or the town would be destroyed. In a duel, the Doctor distracted Tek and Jex escaped to his ship. Jex, feeling guilt for the experiments he conducted, committed suicide by blowing up his ship. The Doctor talked Tek out self-destructing, instead having him become the new protector of Mercy. (TV: A Town Called Mercy)

Amy began working as a writer of travel articles. The Doctor discovered a strange occurrence on Earth during Amy and Rory's time; black cubes had appeared all over Earth. Since they seemed harmless and he lacked the patience to stick around, the Doctor left after only a few days and Amy, Rory and Brian continued examining the cubes. Amy and Rory had started struggling over the choice over life with the Doctor or life on Earth. Amy committed to being a bridesmaid, something she wouldn't have done before. On Amy and Rory's wedding anniversary, the Doctor returned and got them side-tracked on a trip for seven weeks. They found a Zygon ship that had been buried under the Savoy Hotel and Amy accidentally got married to King Henry VIII.

After this trip, he missed the Ponds, and decided to watch the cubes with them. A year after the cubes appeared, they finally activated, behaving in unusual manner. Kate Stewart, head of scientific research at UNIT and the daughter of the Brigadier, summoned the Doctor and Amy to UNIT and investigate the cubes. The cubes released an electric pulse that stopped the hearts of a third of humanity. The Doctor traced the cubes to the Shakri, who wished to wipe out the "plague" of humanity before they could colonise space. He reversed the electric pulse, restarting the hearts of those affected, blowing up the Shakri ship in the process. On Brian's urging, the Doctor took his in-laws back as full-time companions, as travelling with him was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. (TV: The Power of Three)

Final adventure with the Doctor
In 2012 Manhattan, Rory was transported back in time to 1938 by the Weeping Angels while he was looking for coffee. While Amy read the mystery novel An Angel's Kiss to the Doctor, they realised that it was about River and Rory in 1938 and the author was in fact River. Using a Chinese vase as "landing lights", the Doctor landed in the era saturated in time energy, though Rory had already been transported in space to Winter Quay by baby Weeping Angels. Searching for Rory in Winter Quay, they found him in a room where an old Rory died in a bed before their eyes. The Doctor realised that the Angels took over Manhattan and transported people into the past, trapping them in the Quay and feeding off of their time energy. Amy and Rory jumped off the roof of Winter Quay in order to create a paradox causing Rory to have never been taken by the Angels. The paradox worked, and the Angels were destroyed. The Doctor, Rory, Amy and River ended up in the graveyard in New York in 2012 again with all of them alive. Relieved, they decided to go on a family outing, but before they entered the TARDIS, Rory found his own grave and was sent an unknown amount of time in the past by a surviving Angel. Amy, devastated, allowed the Angel to touch her, sending her back to Rory. With the Doctor unable to follow her at the risk of an even more catastrophic paradox, River asked Amy to write an afterword on the book about the events of their final adventure together in which she told the Doctor that she and Rory both loved him and asked him not to travel alone. Amy asked the Doctor go back to the morning he never came back for her and tell her younger self of the adventures they'd share and of the man she'd marry. She explained that she died happy with Rory who lived in relative comfort. She died at age 87, out-living Rory by five years. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan)

Alternative timelines
In one timeline, Amy had been abandoned in the Apalapucian facility for over thirty-six years. She was nearly insane from loneliness. She made a sonic probe to help her fight the Handbots and turned one of them into her pet, naming it Rory. When the Doctor and Rory arrived, she refused to help them rescue her past self, but after a talk with her younger self, agreed to help rescue her if she were taken too. The Doctor betrayed her; only one Amy could be saved. The older Amy gave her existence so her husband and she could have a life together. (TV: The Girl Who Waited)

In another alternate timeline, the Doctor wasn't killed and a fixed point in time was altered. Amy led a group that included Rory and River. They tried to fix time without killing the Doctor. Eventually the timeline was reverted when the Doctor married River and revealed she would be shooting the Teselecta. (TV: The Wedding of River Song)

Personality
Amy was adventurous and reckless, with a dry wit and a stubborn streak. She had a difficult childhood being an orphan raised by her aunt. Her parents had been wiped from existence by the Time Field in her childhood bedroom. She felt abandoned by the Doctor. She was rarely open with her feelings and often mistrustful and wary. She held people she cared for at arm's length, as she did in her early relationship with Rory (TV: Let's Kill Hitler, The Eleventh Hour, The Vampires of Venice) and the Doctor when he returned. (TV: The Eleventh Hour) Amy had jokes made about her Scottish heritege by mostly the Doctor and Rory (TV: The Eleventh Hour, A Good Man Goes to War, Let's Kill Hitler), or even herself. (TV: The Beast Below, Victory of the Daleks, Asylum of the Daleks)

As a child, Amelia was stoic and able to care for herself. She prayed to Santa Claus for help with the crack in her wall and was unsurprised to meet the Doctor. She lusted for the adventure of travel with him. When he did not return, she grew into a cynical and aggressive young woman. (TV: The Eleventh Hour)

Amy was often flippant in the face of danger (TV: Asylum of the Daleks), with the exeption of her traumatic experience in the forest aboard the Byzantium. She traded barbs with Rosanna Calvierri when facing a forcible blood replacement and cracked jokes while confronting apparent doom on the TARDIS. (TV: Flesh and Stone, The Vampires of Venice, Amy's Choice)

Amy was flirtatious. In Leadworth, she worked as a kissogram. She was attracted to the Doctor, (TV: The Eleventh Hour) Vincent van Gogh (TV: Vincent and the Doctor) and the Roman soldiers at Stonehenge. (TV: The Pandorica Opens) She once tried to seduce the Doctor. (TV: Flesh and Stone) Rory claimed she only passed her driving test on her first go because of a revealing skirt. (TV: Space) She had no problem being naked in front of the Doctor after a mutation into a butterfly-woman was reversed. (COMIC: Supernature) She apparently began sleeping like this after being left behind by the Doctor in The God Complex. (WC: Pond Life)

Amy was troubled and lonely. She was often left alone by her aunt Sharon, who refused to deal with her fear of the crack in her wall. After meeting the Doctor, she was obsessed with her "Raggedy Doctor" and refused to believe he was imaginary, biting psychiatrists when they tried to convince her otherwise. Mels, a school troublemaker, her close friend and daughter, once pointed out she often misbehaved in school. Despite this, she was a protective, maternal figure for Mels, leading her - while regenerating into River Song after being revealed as Melody Pond - to remark, "You got to raise me after all." (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)

Amy loved her husband, Rory, passionately and called the Doctor her best friend. (TV: Day of the Moon) She felt he could fix anything. (TV: The God Complex) Despite her tough exterior, Amy could not always hide her emotions and was devastated when faced with the loss of loved ones such as Rory, Melody, the Doctor and Vincent van Gogh. She broke down in tears when the Doctor left her on Earth with Rory. (TV: The God Complex, The Vampires of Venice, Vincent and the Doctor, et al.) Once she discovered that something done to her at Demons Run made her sterile and unable to give birth to any more children, Amy tried forcing Rory out of her life to give him a better chance at having children with someone else. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks)

In her time on the TARDIS, Amy was heroic, saving the lives of the Doctor, Rory, River and others. She was willing to remain in the clutches of enemies to let her friends escape. (TV: The Time of Angels, Day of the Moon) Her mind, altered by her growing up with a crack in space and time in her bedroom wall, restored erased beings to the universe (TV: The Big Bang) using only her memories. She knew time could be rewritten and hoped there was a way to rewrite it to avoid the Doctor's death. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut, The Wedding of River Song). She could remember alternate timelines. (TV: The Wedding of River Song, Night and the Doctor: Good Night)

Amy showed a ruthless streak. In an alternate timeline, Madame Kovarian was being killed by her eye drive and had gotten it most of the way off; she asked Amy to help her because it was what the Doctor would do. Amy said, "He's not here" and put Kovarian's eye drive back on, killing her for having stolen her baby from her. She was conflicted about this later. (TV: The Wedding of River Song)

Amy's worst fear was being "the girl who waited", which stemmed from her childhood of waiting for the Doctor to take her with him in the TARDIS. This fear continued into her adulthood when she became worried about a day where the Doctor may disappear from her life forever, and she would continue to spend her life waiting for a return that would never come.(TV: The God Complex, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)

During her adventure aboard the Silurian Ark, Amy told the Doctor that she had quit her recent job, who comments that she had already quit the job before. She admitted that she can not settle down because she was always listening for the TARDIS to materialise nearby to take her and Rory away. (TV: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)

Skills
Amy proved skilled at swinging and using a sword. (TV: The Curse of the Black Spot) She could also pick a lock with only a hair-pin. (TV: The Beast Below) Amy could tell what others were thinking the more she knew them; when the Doctor was making silent movements, she could tell what he was thinking. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks) Amy was able to easily find information in a complex computer system on the Silurian Ark, which aided the Doctor in finding out where the ship came from and was going to. (TV: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)

Despite taking jobs based around her physical appearance (first that of kissogram, later model) Amy is known to be highly intelligent, able to solve intricate mysteries using observant analysis and even, on one occassion, to single-handedly build her own sonic screwdriver (TV: The Girl Who Waited, The Beast Below).

Deaths
Although not as well known for it as Rory, Amy has died several times.
 * Amy committed suicide in a dream after Rory was killed and woke up in another dream in which she died again when the Doctor blew up the TARDIS to return them to reality. (TV: Amy's Choice)
 * Amy was accidentally killed by the Auton duplicate of Rory, but was revived by the Pandorica. (TV: The Pandorica Opens, The Big Bang)
 * An older version of Amy died so that the younger version of her could stay with Rory. (TV: The Girl Who Waited)
 * Amy and Rory sacrificed themselves by jumping off the Winter Quay building to create a paradox in order to kill the Weeping Angels, but woke up in a graveyard since they had destroyed the timeline of that event in order to defeat most of the Angels. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan)
 * Amy was sent back in time by a Weeping Angel and died of old age a few years after Rory. This time her death was permanent. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan)

Appearance
Amy Pond was tall and long-legged, inspiring the Doctor to introduce her to the President of the United States as "Code name 'the Legs'". (TV: The Impossible Astronaut) She had coppery red hair, freckles and green eyes. She frequently wore short skirts, often with opaque or coloured tights or leggings. She liked to paint her fingernails in different colours, most often red. She was considered by many to be very beautiful since she worked as a kissogram and later a model and attracted the attention of Rory Williams, whom she married, Vincent van Gogh, who said she was cute and suggested that they have a dozen children together and John Riddell, who said he was glad to be fighting with her at his side, although since she was married to Rory he did not actually flirt with her. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)

What's Amy's married name?
Following her wedding in The Big Bang, Amy's actual last name was a matter of speculation. Throughout most of series 6, the Doctor continued to call her "Pond" leaving open the possibility that she didn't necessarily take Rory's last name. His lone use of "Amy Williams" in The God Complex — at a time when he was trying to make her see her life through a more "real" lens — suggested, but did not confirm, that she actually was "Amy Williams". Similarly, the Doctor had taken to referring to Rory as "Rory Pond", meaning the continued use of "Pond" in reference to Amy may have been erroneous also. However, speculation ended with Asylum of the Daleks, where she was definitively shown signing her legal name to a divorce document as "Williams". In The Angels Take Manhattan, her gravestone says Amelia Williams.

Played by two actors
Amy is the first companion in Doctor Who history to have two concurrent recurring portrayers: Karen Gillan and Caitlin Blackwood [unless Jack Harkness and The Face of Boe are confirmed to be one and the same]. The two are first cousins, although they didn't meet until the read-through for The Eleventh Hour. Though Blackwood and Gillan are physically similar, they have different eye colours: Gillan has green eyes, while Blackwood's are blue. John Leeson and David Brierley both voiced K9 Mark II but not concurrently. Sydney Wade portrayed Melody Pond in a consecutive pair of episodes alongside Alex Kingston.

While several companions have been portrayed by one or more juvenile actors in flashbacks and visits to earlier points in their timelines; including Rose Tyler in both infancy and youth, Mickey Smith, Jack Harkness, Sarah Jane Smith in both infancy and youth, Adelaide Brooke, River Song in infancy, youth, adolescence and young adulthood, and Rory Williams (Father's Day, Adam, The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith, Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?, The Waters of Mars, A Good Man Goes to War); Amy is the only companion whose role was originated by her juvenile actor and subsequently taken over by her regular adult actor, or who was invited to travel with the Doctor as a child.

Controversies
After the premiere of The Eleventh Hour, Amy was criticised as too sexy for a family programme like Doctor Who. Piers Wenger, a series 5 executive producer, said, “The whole kissogramme thing played into Steven’s desire for the companion to be feisty and outspoken and a bit of a number. Amy is probably the wildest companion that the Doctor has travelled with, but she isn’t promiscuous. She is really a two-man woman and that will become clear over the course of the episodes."

Earlier in 2010, Amy's red hair was used to defuse the so-called "Ginger controversy" that erupted in early January 2010 due to misinterpretation of a statement made by the Eleventh Doctor on his regeneration. Pointing out the programme's history of employing red-headed actors, the BBC noted that Amy was the second consecutive main TV companion to have red hair.

Other matters

 * Amy is the second televised companion to have a Scottish accent and only the third regularly-appearing Scots character in series history, after Jamie McCrimmon and the Brigadier.
 * Amy is the second companion in the new series pursued romantically by a real historical figure. She was proposed to by Vincent van Gogh. William Shakespeare made amorous advances to Martha Jones.
 * The Brilliant Book 2012, a non-narrative source, said that Amy and Rory's other unchronicled honeymoon destinations included meeting William Shakespeare in 1605, having a picnic in the bee-infested Gardens of Zul-Thep in 3104, and encountering Wyatt Earp and a cactus in an adventure involving acid-spitting land squids on Drago14. It also claimed that Amy became a renegade to give the Silents a false sense of security, travelling to North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Idaho to find more about them. It also says that to prepare for when Canton tried to "kill" her, she was given cryotosis podlets to feign death.
