Biography

Amy comes from a very rich Chinese family; her parents own the entire western hemisphere of Mars and her sorority was "Kappa Kappa Wong". Amy's stereotypically Asian meddling mother and father frequently bug her to get married and give them grandchildren, which she is not eager to do. Adjectives: Martian Atmosphere Surface pressure: 0. ...


On the show, Amy is known for being somewhat shallow, kind and ditzy, and for her overuse of Martian slang (which is simply American slang with extra consonants, examples being "Guh" (duh), "Gleesh" (sheesh), "Globviously", "sploops" (oops), and "Shman" (man)). Amy's standard outfit is pink sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt which reveals her belly button (Which seems to be her own favorite body part). She confesses to Fry that she dresses that way to rebel against her parents. There is also a half-rivalry with Leela about their looks and love lives, with Amy always ready with a putdown. When angered, Amy occasionally starts cursing in Cantonese ("Amazon Women in the Mood"), such as "Da sei ne", which literally translate to "Hit you to death". She has also been known to sing in Cantonese, though the exact lyrics have yet to be translated. For other uses, see Slang (disambiguation). ...

Amy's most outstanding physical feature (in her mind) is that she is exceptionally cute, and it is implied that she was rather promiscuous back at Mars University due to her cuteness and sassy personality. Her looks are often her number-one priority (for example, after nearly dying in a fire, Amy's only comment is that the flames singed her hair into "an even cuter do"). She doesn't even mind looking promiscuous; when she asks Prof. Farnsworth how she looks and he says "Like a cheap French harlot", Amy merely responds with "French?" ("When Aliens Attack") According to her, because of her supreme cuteness, Amy had cuteness reduction surgery on her cheek and nose when she was a teenager. When Aliens Attack is episode twelve in season one of Futurama. ...


Amy has dated many men. She dated Fry for a while but the relationship fizzled out (see "Put Your Head on my Shoulders"). However, during their relationship, he was involved in an accident which caused her to have his head grafted onto her shoulder to save his life; she still carries a disfiguring scar from the incident. She has been dating Kif Kroker since 3001. Although she is not ready for total commitment, Amy is sure that one day she will be. She is the "Smizmar" of Kif's children; that is, she inspired the feelings of love that caused Kif to be receptive to procreation. Although Leela is the biological mother because she grabbed Kif's ungloved hand to keep him from being sucked out of his spaceship, not knowing that, in his receptive state, this would impregnate him (some of the children even have only one eye like Leela), the Smizmar is considered to be the true mother in Kif's culture.

Amy has several tattoos which don't appear to recur between episodes. One "obscene tattoo" (which appears blurred because its design requires a resolution unmatched by modern TVs) was shown to be on her upper left arm in "A Fishful of Dollars", and in "Three Hundred Big Boys", she buys a talking tattoo of a devil, which resembles the trademark of hot rod artist Coop, on her right arm. In the same episode, three other tattoos are implied to be on her butt, one of which is a horse of some kind; the other two had the voices of a man and a woman respectively. None of these are ever seen or mentioned in any episode other than the ones they're first shown in, despite numerous occasions in which their locations are visible, apparently lacking said tattoos. A Fishful of Dollars is episode six in the first season of Futurama. ... This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...

Amy is also skilled in piloting the Planet Express spaceship, which she learned to do by playing a claw vending machine until she completely drained it of all the prizes. Claw game redirects here. ...


Love life

Gorgak

Former Prime Minister of Trisol, Gorgak found himself the subject of Amy's flirtatious attentions after she inadvertently felt up the liquid lifeform when she dipped her hand into his bowl. She was also seen sitting next to him at Fry's coronation banquet. However, any potential liaisons were cut short when the Trisolians tried to kill their new Emperor, causing the Planet Express crew to barricade themselves inside the palace.


Philip J. Fry

Amy used Fry as her fake boyfriend in order to avoid being set up with an unattractive potential husband by her parents during a trip on the luxury starliner Titanic. Unfortunately, Leela was also using Fry as her fake fiancee to ward off the attentions of Zapp Brannigan. Thankfully, catastrophic damage to the ship avoided a potentially embarrassing situation and Amy won the battle of the bogus boyfriends. Amy and Fry also have another relationship in "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" where Fry and Amy are trapped together in a desert on Mercury and soon get closer (with sexual relations implied), but Fry intends to end it the day before Valentine's Day. But after an accident that causes Fry's head to become detached from his body, Doctor Zoidberg saves his life by attaching his head to Amy's body where Fry finds he is going to be spending a much longer time with Amy than he thought. Put Your Head on My Shoulders is episode seven in season two of Futurama. ... [[Link titleBold text // ]] This article is about the planet. ...


Ahmed

Despite supposedly being on a girls' night out to cheer up a critically depressed Leela, Amy still ended up dancing the night away at O'Zorgnax's Pub with Arab hottie Ahmed. She abandoned Leela in order to go with Ahmed to the back seat of his car for "coffee".


Gary

Amy's next boyfriend Gary, a banking industry regulator with a hairy chest who was her date one Valentines Day, wasn't very happy to see Fry—not surprising, as his head was still attached to Amy at the time. Although things seemed to be going well, Gary fell for the 'tell me about yourself' trick when Leela stepped in to save Fry's head from being carried to a sticky situation at Gary's place. Instead Gary went on to explain how interesting banking industry regulation is and that it is based on five different regulatory traditions (six if you want to get technical).


Kif Kroker

'Captain' Kroker (really Lieutenant) was in command of the Titanic in its final minutes before being sucked into a black hole. Amy's parents thought his sudden promotion outweighed the doomed nature of his ship and immediately grabbed him and presented him as a possible grandchild-provider to Amy. Amy seemed quite impressed with Kif, and the relationship lasted the rest of the series.


Initially, their relationship after escaping the Titanic went nowhere, mainly because Kif was too nervous to call her and ask for a date (settling instead for just phoning her ten times a day and stuttering so much Amy thought they were obscene calls). Eventually Zapp Brannigan persuaded him to go along on a double half-date with Amy and Leela. Zapp's book of chat-up lines nearly ended the date before it started, but eventually Kif's heartfelt singing and admission of love won her heart. Major General Webelo Zapp Brannigan is a fictional character in the television series Futurama. ...


However, when Amy told her parents about Kif Kroker, they apparently had no memory of him, and when they met him they dismissed him as wimpy and 'un-manly,' strongly contradicting the fact that they strongly encouraged Amy to date him on the 'sinking' Titanic.
