Dr. Amy Wong

Amy Wong is a human from Mars who is of Chinese descent, sole heir to half the planet, and is currently employed as an intern at Planet Express. She is a primary character and is known as a klutz and socialite.

Early Life
Amy Wong was raised by her parents, Leo and Inez, on Wong Ranch, a buggalo farm that covers the entire western hemisphere of Mars. During her teenage years she had a weight problem, but enjoyed the perks that come from having rich parents such as having multiple ponies and a pet buggalo. In her spare time Amy took up miniature golf in an attempt to impress her father, becoming a champion in tournaments.

Mars University and an Internship
Joining Mars University's student body, thanks to a donation from her parents, Amy began an engineering degree and joined the family sorority, Kappa Kappa Wong. While studying at MU she took an internship at Planet Express, a company owned by Professor Farnsworth, one of her teachers. While the job involves engineering work, Amy would occasionally join the delivery crew on the ship, learning how to fly it and control the winch in order to save the current crew.

A chance meeting
On a company vacation aboard the Titanic Amy claimed to have a boyfriend. Fortunately for her, this ruse ended shortly before evacuating, and her parents finally set her up with someone she liked; the ship's new captain Kif Kroker. After being dropped off back at Planet Express by her Amphibiosan love interest, he became too nervous to talk to her and instead began calling and hanging up, which he did for an entire year. They also managed to avoid seeing each other during his brief stint as the company's ship's First Mate. Amy moved on and resumed dating other men, including a short term romance with Fry, which ended with his head surgically attached to her body. Fortunately, his body was soon repaired and the head was put back in place.

Eventually, after one of Kif's failed phone calls, Zapp used the couple for a chance to get close to Leela. Zapp crashed and burned, taking the restaurant-ship with him, but Kif and Amy's relationship managed to begin anew. Despite having introduced them, Amy's parents did not approve of Kif when she brought him home for Mars Day and although he later saved her life when she was kidnapped by the Native Martians, they didn't believe it.

Long distance relationship
Due to Kif's career, the couple were forced to maintain the relationship long distance. Amy spent this time at work, following a band on tour and becoming an honourary Globetrotter but eventually decided to sneak on board the Planet Express ship and steal it while the crew was sleeping. This rendezvous led to Kif's impregnation, which almost split the couple up, but once it became clear that they would remain in a swamp for twenty years to develop into children, she came around. Not too long after this she became a child again herself due to an accident at a health spa, and may have come out of the experience slightly younger than where she started. They continued to date, spending the day on a paddle plane or spending the night at a reception for the silk surplus.

Fonfon Rubok
In the following years Amy had grown her hair long until it was burned down to the previous length by Bender. Soon after became one of many victims of scammers who took control of the whole of planet Earth. After the planet was reclaimed, Amy and Kif had a Fonfon Rubok the marriage fell apart soon after, when Kif was killed by Zapp's incompetence. He was brought back, but after learning that she and Zapp had spent a night together, he left her.

The golfing feminist
Having long sought the approval of her father, she initially defended him against Leela for his views on women but eventually couldn't take the criticism, joining the Feministas to get back at him. The group's history leads to their arrest, but they are broken out by Bender and after Leo's plan is foiled, she is reunited with Kif as they and her co-workers escape from Zapp down a wormhole.

 * Before she met Kif, Amy had many boyfriends and often made Leela jealous or angry of her looks.
 * At Mars U., Amy is a member of the sorority Kappa Kappa Wong and is an engineering student of Professor Farnsworth.
 * On two occasions, she has had a relationship with Fry. (see Fry-Amy relationship for more info)
 * Despite being socially aware and 'bubbly', she is a bit of a ditz and suffers from her own naivete (physically and socially) in many episodes.
 * Amy speaks Yeti.
 * When she gets mad or frustrated, she is actually speaking Cantonese (Chinese Dialect).
 * She is an honorary Globetrotter.

 * Has a pet Buggalo named Betsy.
 * An alternate version of her named Gynecaladriel appeared in.

Catchphrase
Amy doesn't have a specific catchphrase, but frequently spouts futuristic slang in place of common modern colloqiualisms, the most common being one that replaces "Duh!". Variations include:
 * Guh! (1ACV02), (1ACV04), (1ACV06)
 * Buh! (1ACV04), (2ACV10)
 * Fluh! (2ACV04)
 * Spluh! (2ACV07), (4ACV15), (5ACV01)
 * Abraca-Duh! (3ACV18)

In the same vein, Amy also routinely utters variations on the word "Sheesh!", for example, "Spleesh!" Being the only young, hip character on the show, this constantly shifting slang is obviously a nod to the constantly changing "cool things to say" that pop culture tosses around and then tosses aside over time.

Also, whenever she falls or slips, she screams and the same soundbite is used each time. The sound of something breaking usually follows. She also frequently comments on Leela's looks or hygiene in a very tactless, catty and often insulting way.
