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.

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:

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.
