Amy Pond


 * For the companion of the Fifth Doctor, see Amy.

"When I was a little girl, I dreamed of time and space. Last night, all my dreams came true"

- Amy Pond

Amelia "Amy" Pond was a young Scottish woman who was the first companion of the Eleventh Doctor. At the time the Doctor met her, she was a kiss-o-gram and engaged to her boyfriend called Rory Williams.

Early Life
Amy was born in Scotland. She was later orphaned and moved to England with her aunt.

Meeting the Doctor
Amelia first met the Doctor when she was seven. He crash landed in her backyard and accompanied her into the house. She made him a great deal of food in order to assuage his cravings, but he hated everything except custard-dipped fish fingers. Amy was avoiding a crack in her room that she heard voices from. The Doctor went up with her and opened the crack. Behind it was an Atraxi, who was looking for the escaped Prisoner Zero.

The Cloister Bell rang and the Doctor ran back to the TARDIS, promising to just make a five minute jump to the future and pick Amy up. She waited for him, but he did not return. Over the next twelve years, Amy became obsessed with her "imaginary friend"; she made dolls and drawings of him and went through four psychiatrists, who all tried to convince her there was no Doctor.

The Doctor returned twelve years later. Amelia, now a kissogram dressed as a police officer going by the name Amy, hit him with a cricket bat as he attempted to enter her home. She handcuffed him to a radiator. The Doctor showed her a room in her house she had never seen. She entered it to find his sonic screwdriver. She encountered Prisoner Zero.

Amy and her boyfriend Rory Williams helped the Doctor defeat Prisoner Zero and the Atraxi. The Doctor then vanished for a short trip to the moon, which actually lasted two more years. He came back for Amy, who joined him as his new companion on the day before her wedding. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

Behind the Scenes

 * Amy is the second consecutive TV companion to have red hair. This fact was noted by the BBC when it issued a statement in response to the so-called 'Ginger controversy' that erupted in early January 2010 due to misinterpretation of a statement made by the Eleventh Doctor after his regeneration.
 * Amy Pond is the second character with an aquatic-sounding name to be created by showrunner Steven Moffat following River Song.
 * Amy is the second televised companion to have a Scottish accent, and only the third regularly-appearing Scots character in series history, behind both Jamie McCrimmon and the Brigadier. Since neither Frazer Hines nor Nicholas Courtney are themselves Scottish, Gillan is the first Scottish actor to play a recurring Scot in the history of the programme.
