 Any further thoughts? [[Special:Contributions/86.26.137.154|86.26.137.154]] 08:24, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
+Well, if Amy is Red Riding Hood, then who could be chasing her but the Bad Wolf? Did Rose accidentally  break the multiverse again? She must have seen the spoilers with Amy trying to pull the Doctor's clothes off and decided to come after her in a fit of jealousy....
+More seriously, I think Amy may be just supposed to be a fairy-tale character in general, not one in specific.
+In fact, I think Amy is based on Moffat's vague and confused memories of Wendy from Peter Pan. He's said that he was thinking of Wendy when he wrote the character, and when he cast Karen Gillan. The fact that she's almost nothing like Wendy might mean that he's lying, but I think he just hasn't read or seen Peter Pan in a long time, and he's mixed her up with Susan from Narnia, Alice from Wonderland, various Disney princesses, and the heroines of various Mother Goose and Grimms' tales, not to mention modern takes like Into the Woods and various stories by Neal Gaiman and other fantasy writers.
+I'd guess that at some point he realized that he wasn't writing Wendy at all, but decided to just go with it, because we all mix up all those fairy-tale women the same way he does. So, she's a fair-skinned girl in a red hood with a fairy god-mother (well, a madman in a blue box) who escapes from being eaten by the biggest whale that ever lived and is probably a terribly important princess but doesn't know it.
+(Of couse she still reminds me more of Lizzie from Drop Dead Fred than any other character... but I don't think that part is intentional.) --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 09:20, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
