Amy Wong is a human from Mars, 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.

Biography

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 youth 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.

Family

Leo and Inez Wong - parents
Hundreds of Kif's unamed children (adoptive; Leela is the mother)
Kif Kroker - Fonfon Ru, or husband (see Kif-Amy relationship for more info)
Kif's entire family through Fonfon Rubok

Additional Info

Trivia

Amy is a notorious klutz. She loses things, is the victim/cause of many accidents, and frequently falls over or trips on things.
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.
Only staff member not seen in the game.
Has several tattoos at various places, including at least four talking tattoos (one on her upper right arm and three presumably on her buttock- one of which neighs like a horse) and one obscene tattoo on her right upper arm.
Has the same blood type as Professor Farnsworth. This is probably the only reason Professor Farnsworth keeps her around. (1ACV02).
Has a pet Buggalo named Betsy.
An alternate version of her named Gynecaladriel appeared in Bender's Game
.

Catchphrase

Amy doesn't have a specific catchphrase, but frequently spouts gibberish (possibly futuristic slang) in place of common colloqiualisms, the most common being one that replaces "Duh!". Variations include:

Guh! (1ACV02), (1ACV04), (1ACV06)
Buh! (1ACV04), (2ACV10)
Fluh! (2ACV04)
Spluh! (2ACV07), (4ACV15), (5ACV01)

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

Quotes

Amy: Nice go-cart, Leela, so hip and sexy. Not like you at all.
Amy: Ew, pukeatronic!
Amy: Oh, so this is where you shop for your boots.
Amy: Hey, let's go car shopping! My parents said if I got all B's they'd buy me a bar. And I got all C's!
Amy: Hey Professor, what's all this scrumpf blorking out of the machine?
