| === Birth and early life === | | === Birth and early life === |
| Amelia was born in [[Scotland]] in [[1989]]. Her parents, [[Augustus Pond|Augustus]] and [[Tabetha Pond]], were swallowed by [[Time Field|the crack in her wall]], and Amelia was raised by her aunt [[Sharon (The Big Bang)|Sharon]] in the small town of [[Leadworth]]. Despite living so long in [[England]], she never lost her Scottish accent. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang]]'')
| | she was born in my little pony land. but she hated ponies so she turned into a human and changed her name to amy pond and then married rory williams who used to be a pony who hated ponies. (tv story: my litlle ponyyyy) |
| | | * |
| During her early years, Amy often went camping with her father in the Highlands. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Power of the Mykuootni]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Meeting the Doctor ===
| |
| Amelia first encountered the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and her own adult self at a fair in [[1994]]. She did not remember the Doctor, and retained only a vague memory of the red-haired woman in the odd white dress, who bought her an [[ice cream]] cone to replace the one which she had dropped. Dropping and losing the ice cream, and receiving the new one, remained among her saddest and happiest memories respectively. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Good Night (TV story)|Good Night]]'')
| |
| | |
| [[File:Amy-young.jpg|thumb|left|Amy's first proper meeting with the [[Eleventh Doctor]], at the age of seven. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'')]]
| |
| Amelia properly met the Doctor on or about [[Easter]] in [[April]] [[1996]]. [[The Doctor's TARDIS|His TARDIS]], damaged by his [[regeneration]], crashed in [[Amy's house#External|her backyard garden]]. As she had been praying to [[Santa Claus]] to send a policeman to investigate the crack, Amelia initially took the TARDIS' anachronistic [[police box]] appearance at face value and asked the Doctor if he was the policeman whom she had requested. The Doctor had a "raggedy" appearance, as he was still wearing the tattered remains of his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth incarnation]]'s suit and was adjusting to his new body and tastes. He examined a [[Time Field|crack in her wall]], which was actually a rip in [[time]]-[[space]] that acted as a portal to another time and place. A prisoner of the [[Atraxi]], known as [[Prisoner Zero]], escaped through it into [[Amy's house|Amelia's house]]. However, before the Doctor could assist further, the [[Cloister Bell]] went off, causing him to return to the TARDIS to prevent the engines from phasing out of existence. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour]])''
| |
| | |
| He offered to take her with him in the TARDIS, but first needed to stabilise the engines. He took the TARDIS for what he thought would be a quick five-minute trip into the future. Amy took the opportunity to pack a small suitcase and return to the garden, waiting for the arrival of the "magic doctor". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'')
| |
| | |
| In one or more timelines, Amelia fell asleep on her suitcase in the garden that night. Her Doctor returned from much later in his future, and carried her up to bed. As she continued to sleep, the Doctor told her about the "magic box" he had stolen, that he had really only borrowed it, having always intended to return it; "big and little at the same time, brand new and ancient, and the bluest blue ever." He said she would dream about the adventures that they would never have, and he told her to love Rory. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')
| |
| | |
| Years later, Amelia made a [[Melody Malone: Private Detective in Old New York Town#Afterword, by Amelia Williams|final request of him]] to return to her child self this next morning, telling her to be patient, and of the many incredible adventures she would later have with him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Amelia did not see the Doctor again for twelve years, and during this time was unaware that a criminal [[multi-form]] called [[Prisoner Zero]] was hiding in her house. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Adolescence ===
| |
| While waiting, Amelia was obsessed with her "Raggedy Doctor". She created [[doll]]s, [[comic]]s, and dress-up [[game]]s about him and compelled her friends to take part. Amy's Aunt Sharon sent Amelia to four [[psychiatrist]]s who told her the Doctor wasn't real. She bit each of them. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'') In school, her best friends were [[Rory Williams]] and [[River Song|Melody ("Mels")]], whom Amelia and Rory did not know was actually their daughter from the [[52nd century]]. Aside from the Raggedy Doctor, her other interests included the [[Roman]] occupation of [[Britain]], on which she had several [[book]]s, along with her favourite book, ''[[Pandora's Box]]''. She didn't receive a good grade for her paper on the Romans due to titling it "Invasion of the Hot Italians". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'', ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'', ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amelia was consistently the dominant member of her trio with Rory and Mels. Throughout primary and secondary school, Amelia unwittingly reared Mels, serving ''in loco parentis'' and lecturing her after each of her myriad discipline problems. Meanwhile, Rory went submissively along with Amelia's instructions so long as it allowed him to be near her.
| |
| | |
| Because of Rory's timidity toward making any romantic overtures toward Amy, and his obvious disinterest in other girls, Amy incorrectly assumed him to be [[homosexuality|gay]]. In their late teens, Mels caused Amy to realise Rory's feelings toward her and she returned his affections. In doing so, Mels, being their daughter, [[paradox]]ically caused her own existence. ([[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'') When Amy met the Doctor again, she proved uncomfortable with admitting her relationship with Rory, at least to the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Second meeting with the Doctor ===
| |
| [[File:Amy-prisoner-zero.jpg|thumb|left|Amy's first encounter with a hostile [[alien]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'')]] The Doctor, thinking that only five minutes had elapsed, returned in [[2008]] when Amelia was now calling herself "Amy" to distance herself from her "fairy tale" name. She had become Rory's girlfriend and worked as a [[kissogram]]. At the time of the Doctor's return, she was wearing a mock [[woman police constable]] uniform, causing him to believe her to be a police officer just as she had assumed him to be twelve years earlier because of the TARDIS' exterior. Though dubious, she helped the Doctor defeat [[Prisoner Zero]] and warn the [[Atraxi]] never to return to Earth. He took two years to take the TARDIS to the moon to break in the new engines. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'')
| |
| | |
| At some point before the Doctor's next return, Amy attended a fancy dress party with Rory. She wore her WPC uniform, whilst he dressed as a Roman centurion. She tucked a snapshot from the party into a book on Roman Britain. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amy was engaged to be [[wedding|wed]] to Rory on [[26 June]] [[2010]]. On the night of [[25 June]], the Doctor returned to keep his fourteen-year-old promise. She joined him on condition she be returned before morning, but did not mention her wedding. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Travels with the Doctor ===
| |
| [[File:Amy-starship-uk.jpg|thumb|Amy on board ''Starship UK''. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below]]'')]]
| |
| Upon first entering [[the TARDIS]], Amy hyper-actively questioned the Doctor about its nature and his, whether the Doctor was really "a little slug in a human suit", what police boxes were, and if the TARDIS' roof light ever needed changing. Quickly tiring of her questions, the Doctor threw Amy into an atmospheric bubble beyond the TARDIS, to float weightlessly in space. ([[TV]]: ''[[Meanwhile in the TARDIS 1 (TV story)|Meanwhile in the TARDIS 1]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amy's first trip in the TARDIS took her to ''[[Starship UK]]'' in the [[33rd century]]. It was secretly propelled by a [[star whale]] who was tortured to keep the ship moving. Amy freed it, and it continued to pilot the ship because it was kind-hearted. In the process, Amy met the future British monarch, [[Elizabeth X|Queen Elizabeth X]]. She was amused by being recognised and accepted by government computers as a 1,306-year-old British subject and eligible voter, but concerned by her marital status being unknown. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'')
| |
| | |
| Heeding a call for help, they went to [[World War II|war-torn]] [[London]] in [[1941]] to meet [[Winston Churchill]], who was using [[Dalek]]s to help in the war, believing them to be drones created by Dr [[Edwin Bracewell]]. When the Doctor tried having her tell Churchill about their true nature, Amy had no answers for him despite having lived through the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]] and the [[Dalek invasion of Earth (The Stolen Earth)|2009 Dalek invasion]], something that left him shocked and confused. After the Daleks tricked the Doctor into helping facilitate the rebirth of their race, they escaped through time. Amy helped deactivate the [[Oblivion Continuum]] inside Bracewell by convincing him he was human. ([[TV]]: ''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amy next ended up on a rubbish asteroid called the [[Gyre]] far into her relative future, which was to be destroyed by a nanobomb. She befriended the [[Sittuun]] Charlie and saved the Doctor from the devolved descendants of humans stranded there centuries before. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Night of the Humans (novel)|Night of the Humans]]'')
| |
| | |
| The Doctor next took her back to June 2010, in [[New York City]], for the best burgers in all history, buying the street they were sold on in her name to get them for free; she wanted to shop with the [[psychic paper]] instead. However, this plan was derailed when she had to save him and all Manhattan from being kidnapped by tiny aliens known as the [[Vykoid]]s. She was remembered by them as the reason they failed in their mission. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Forgotten Army (novel)|The Forgotten Army]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amy and the Doctor visited the [[Skeleton People]] and the Doctor freed them from the [[Toad-King]]'s rule. Amy could not understand why they were angry with him for saving them, but the Doctor theorised it was because he took their "[[squiggly whatsit]]." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nothing O'Clock (short story)|Nothing O'Clock]]'')
| |
| | |
| [[File:Amy-river-song.jpg|thumb|left|Amy meets [[River Song]] on [[Alfava Metraxis]] with no idea who she is. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of Angels]]'')]]
| |
| They next went to [[Delirium Archive|a museum]] in the [[171st century]], where they found the ''[[Byzantium (ship)|Byzantium]]''’s [[Home Box]] with a message, "Hello, Sweetie," in [[High Gallifreyan]], cut into its case with a torch. They travelled to a space-time point in the [[51st century]], adjacent to the ''Byzantium'' and opened the TARDIS doors just as [[River Song]] blew herself out of the doomed ship. The Doctor introduced the two women, neither he nor Amy being aware that River was both Amy's future daughter Melody and her life-long friend, Mels. All three proceeded to the ''Byzantium''’s wreckage on [[Alfava Metraxis]] to help [[the Church]] defeat an army of Weeping Angels aboard the ship, which had been awakened by the crashed ship's engines. While her Angel-infected eyes were required to be closed, the Doctor returned to her and admonished her to remember what he told when she was seven; this incarnation of the Doctor was from weeks or months into her relative future. Amy nearly died because of [[Angel Bob]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of Angels (TV story)|The Time of Angels]]'' / ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'', ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')
| |
| | |
| After this trauma, Amy told the Doctor she wanted to go [[Amy's house|home]] and was getting married. They arrived on the night of [[25 June]] [[2010]], minutes before midnight. She aggressively attempted to seduce the Doctor. The Doctor resisted her [[sex]]ual demands and pushed her back into his TARDIS just at the stroke of midnight. Amy protested that he was "a bloke" who flirted with all of the ladies and laughed at all the men in each room he entered; he explained his compulsion to travel with companions stemmed from his lost ability to marvel at the universe and that he took companions in order to experience the wonders vicariously through them. Wondering how many other women have travelled with the Doctor, she tricked him into unlocking the visual records, something that was amusing to her as he lied about how many. This forced the Doctor to collect Rory from his stag party. ([[TV]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone]]'', ''[[Meanwhile in the TARDIS 2 (TV story)|Meanwhile in the TARDIS 2]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amy and the Doctor flew the TARDIS a few hours back in time to collect Rory from his stag night. As a wedding gift, the Doctor took them to romantic [[Venice]] in [[1580]] as travelling with him and returning to normal lives ruins relationships, in the hopes that this would repair theirs. They discovered "vampires", who were in fact [[Saturnyn]]s attempting to repopulate their species by transforming human girls into compatible mates for the sons of [[Rosanna Calvierri]]. After barely escaping conversion herself, Amy rescued Rory from Rosanna's eldest son, [[Francesco]], killing for the first time.

| [[File:Amy-dream-status.jpg|thumb|Amy in a dream caused by the [[Dream Lord]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Amy's Choice]]'')]]
| |
| The TARDIS crew was trapped between two worlds by the [[Dream Lord]]. He taunted Amy about her confused relationship with the Doctor and Rory, forcing her to choose between them. When Rory died in one dream, she realised that she did not wish to live without him. On finding him alive in reality, she made it clear to him for the first time that his feelings were fully reciprocated. ([[TV]]: ''[[Amy's Choice (TV story)|Amy's Choice]]'')
| |
| [[File:DoctorAmy-HungryEarth.jpg|left|thumb|Amy being pulled underground. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Hungry_Earth_(TV_story)|The Hungry Earth]]'')]]
| |
| In [[2020]] [[Cwmtaff]], [[Wales]], Amy and Rory encountered their older selves at a distance. They witnessed the revival of a city of [[Silurian]]s. After an aborted attempt to form an alliance between humans and them, during which she spoke for mankind, Rory was killed and erased from reality by another of the cracks in space and time. Amy lost all of her memories of him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Hungry Earth (TV story)|The Hungry Earth]]'' / ''[[Cold Blood (TV story)|Cold Blood]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Forgetting Rory Williams ===
| |
| The Doctor, feeling guilty for Rory's loss, took Amy to wonderful places including [[Arcadia (planet)|Arcadia]] and the [[Trojan Gardens]]. Amy asked the Doctor why he was being so nice to her. He defensively told Amy that he was always nice to her, hiding his feelings of guilt. Amy told the Doctor that she was just joking, but wondered why he wasn't.

| | |
| [[File:AmySunflowers.jpg|thumb|left|Amy tries to cheer up [[Vincent van Gogh]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)|Vincent and the Doctor]]'')]]
| |
| One of these trips was back to 2010 to visit the exhibit of the works of Amy's favourite artist, [[Vincent van Gogh]] at the [[Musée d'Orsay]] in [[Paris]]. There, the two discovered that van Gogh had painted a [[Krafayis]] in ''[[The Church at Auvers]]''. In response, the pair flew off to [[Auvers-sur-Oise]], [[France]], on [[1 June]] [[1890]]. Amy developed a close bond with Vincent and convinced the Doctor to take the tortured man to 2010 and show him how he would be revered. Amy was convinced that their intervention would prevent Vincent's suicide and, after returning him to 1890, bounded up the Musée's stairs to see all of the new paintings. She was devastated to discover that Vincent had still killed himself and the only change was a dedication on ''Sunflowers'', "For Amy, Vincent". ([[TV]]: ''[[Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)|Vincent and the Doctor]]'')
| |
| [[File:Amy_fades_out.jpg|thumb|Amy fades out of existence. ([[GAME]]'': [[City of the Daleks (video game)|City of the Daleks]]'')]]
| |
| The Doctor and Amy found the Daleks had destroyed the human race in [[1963]], using the [[Eye of Time]] to alter history. They went through the Eye to [[Skaro]] before the Daleks arrived. Amy began disappearing. She used this condition to collect parts for the Doctor to build a [[vision disruptor]] and sneaked by the Daleks to set it to blind them as they arrived. The Doctor overloaded the [[magnetic field generator]]s. The Daleks lost the Eye and never used it to alter history. ([[GAME]]'': [[City of the Daleks (video game)|City of the Daleks]]'')
| |
| [[File:Amy_captured.jpg|thumb|left|Amy is captured by the Cybermen. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Blood of the Cybermen (video game)|Blood of the Cybermen]]'')]]
| |
| The Doctor and Amy arrived in [[GSO Arctic Drilling Station]]. A [[nano-virus]] spread by [[Cybermat]]s had turned the crew into [[Cyberslave]]s to recover [[Cyberman (Blood of the Cybermen)|Cybermen]] trapped beneath the ice millennia before. Amy used a reprogrammed [[distress call|distress beacon]] to disable the Cybermats. The Cyberslaves captured Amy and nearly converted her, but the Doctor rescued her and defeated them. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Blood of the Cybermen (video game)|Blood of the Cybermen]]'')
| |
| | |
| They visited [[Smyslov 3]] for the first time to find their future selves had just visited and caused much damage. [[Tanik]] threatened to imprison them, but the TARDIS took off before he could disable the ship. ([[WC]]: ''[[Wish You Were Here (WEB short story)|Wish You Were Here]]'')
| |
| [[File:Amy_and_Entity.jpg|thumb|[[The Entity (TARDIS)|The Entity]] latches on to Amy. ([[GAME]]: ''[[TARDIS (video game)|TARDIS]]'')]]
| |
| While looking for parts for a [[tractor beam]] to rescue the Doctor from a spacetime riptide, Amy accidentally released [[the Entity (TARDIS)|the Entity]] from its container in the TARDIS. The Entity created a lesion in time, sent her a thousand years into the future and began to feed on her timeline. The Doctor sent Amy a [[Tachyon Feedback Loop]] to return to him. He captured the Entity and sent it into the riptide to gorge on the four-dimensional [[Chronomite]]s without harming them. ([[GAME]]: ''[[TARDIS (video game)|TARDIS]]'')
| |
| | |
| They found a vacation spot, [[Poseidon 8]] in the [[23rd century]], attacked by a [[Zaralok]], occupied by the [[Vashta Nerada]] and its people suffering "sickness". Amy helped the Doctor restore power to the undersea farming facility. She was led to a [[World War II]] era warship, the [[USS Eldridge|USS ''Eldridge'']]. It had brought the Zaralok and Vashta Nerada through a dimensional vortex caused by a malfunctioning cloaking device. The Doctor and Amy deactivated the device, returning the Zaralok and Vashta Nerada to their proper timelines. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Shadows of the Vashta Nerada (video game)|Shadows of the Vashta Nerada]]'')

| |
| Amy and the Doctor next followed a distress signal to a family spaceship where a Dalek scientist was attempting to steal the technology. When the engine overloaded, the whole Jones family were scattered into space and time, and the Doctor and Amy travelled to many different locations, such as an ancient Ican temple facing many different monsters like Cybermen and Silurians on their quest to find and help the family. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Mazes of Time]]'')
| |
| | |
| The TARDIS dematerialised from a park in [[Colchester]], [[Essex]], leaving the Doctor stuck there and Amy trapped in the TARDIS. After they were reunited, the Doctor directed her to write a note to his past self to direct him to rent a flat from [[Craig Owens]]. While searching the Doctor's jacket pocket for a [[pen]], she discovered a jewelry box, containing her engagement ring from the now-erased Rory. She could not attach any memories to it, but felt a strange connection. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lodger (TV story)|The Lodger]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amy and the Doctor visited [[Space Florida]] a week before the events of the Doctor's erasure. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')
| |
| | |
| The Doctor then took Amy to see the oldest writing on the oldest planet of the universe. Its meaning had never been discerned. Using the TARDIS' translation matrix, he was excited that he and Amy would be the first to ever read it. Arriving at the cliff face, they discovered the translated greeting, "Hello, Sweetie," and a set of co-ordinates for [[Stonehenge]] on [[21 January]] [[102]] AD. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'')

| [[File:DW512-2046.jpg|left|thumb|Amy dies in Auton Rory's arms ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica_Opens_(TV_story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'')]]
| |
| Upon landing at a Roman encampment near Stonehenge, Amy and the Doctor met River Song again. She showed them a long-hidden painting by [[Vincent van Gogh]], ''[[The Pandorica Opens]]'', which depicted the Doctor's TARDIS exploding and bore the current date and location encoded in place of the telephone instructions. In a cave below Stonehenge, they found the legendary [[Pandorica]] which bore a striking resemblance to the illustration of Pandora's Box on the cover of Amy's favourite book from childhood. She was attacked by the disembodied head of a [[Cyberman]]. The centurions turned out to be [[Autons]] who believed themselves to be real, the first one of whom to volunteer to join River at Stonehenge was an Auton incarnation of the erased [[Rory Williams]]. Amy did not recognise him at first, but gradually came to remember, finally embracing him and welcoming him to place the ring on her finger, the Doctor having returned it to him in the cave. [[The Alliance (The Pandorica Opens)|The Alliance]] activated the Autons, including Rory who was unable to resist the programming to shoot Amy dead. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'')
| |
| | |
| Fortunately, the Doctor promptly arrived via River's [[vortex manipulator]], before Amy had fully died. He instructed Rory to free him from the Pandorica and place Amy inside to save her life. His younger self, free of the trap, helped Rory to seal Amy within it to keep her alive for the next two millennia. Over the Doctor's objections, Rory opted to stay behind and ensure her safety, drew his sword and sat down to wait.
| |
| | |
| [[File:AmyInPandorica.jpg|thumb|right|Amy imprisoned within the Pandorica.]]
| |
| In [[118]], Amy unknowingly travelled to Rome in the Pandorica, essentially unconscious. Rory continued to guard her. He was unable to keep the Pandorica from being taken by the Franks during a raid in [[420]] but ensured Amy's continued safety therein. By [[1120]], the Pandorica had become a prized possession of the [[Knights Templar]], and it was donated to the [[Vatican]] in [[1231]]. Sometime thereafter, it was sold by [[Marco Polo]]. All the while, the legend grew of the Lone Centurion who loyally guarded the box. The Pandorica was taken to [[London]]. The warehouse in which it was stored was set ablaze in [[1941]] during [[The Blitz|the German Blitz]]; it was found unscathed the next morning, a safe distance from the fire. Eyewitness accounts told of a man in Roman armour dragging the Pandorica to safety; the last sighting of the fabled Lone Centurion. By [[1996]], the Pandorica was on display at the [[National Museum]] in [[London]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Rebooting the universe ===
| |
| In [[1996]], the Pandorica was opened by the touch of Amy's seven-year-old self who had been lured to the exhibit by the Doctor. Adult Amy emerged healed and healthy, telling Amelia, "Okay kid, this is where it gets complicated." Amy again demonstrated immunity from the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]], touching her younger self without incident. The two watched a brief video about the Pandorica and its mythical protector, bringing Amy to tears. Her grief over Rory's sacrifice was cut short by the entrance of a security guard: Rory. After running from Daleks, watching the Doctor rescue River Song from her time-loop in the exploding TARDIS which had become the Sun, and seeing the Doctor appear to be killed, Amy found that he had returned to the Pandorica, wired it to the vortex manipulator, and was about to launch himself into the heart of the exploding TARDIS in order to reboot the universe. Amy was horrified when River explained that the Doctor would be trapped on the other side of the sealed [[Crack]] and be erased from time and memory.

| |
| Amy awoke on [[26 June]] [[2010]], surprised and ecstatic to see her parents, but could not figure out why. She was married to the restored human Rory Williams that day. At the reception, Amy was startled by a vaguely familiar blonde woman passing the windows. She then discovered [[River Song's diary|an old diary]] on the table in front of Rory; despite its very weathered blue cover, the pages were all blank. Rory explained a blonde woman had left it for her. Amy began to cry but could not understand why. She looked around, and noticed a man wearing a bow-tie, and another holding his trousers up with braces. Once a tear landed on the diary, she remembered what the Doctor told her while she slept that night fourteen years earlier. Embarrassing her family, she began to call out for her Raggedy Doctor. The diary jogged her memory of the Doctor and the TARDIS. Like the diary, the Doctor's TARDIS was "Something old, something new, something borrowed, ... something blue." The TARDIS materialised in the banquet hall, and the Doctor congratulated the happy couple before returning to his ship briefly to move it to her garden nearby and thus clear room on the floor for dancing.
| |
| | |
| After a night of dancing, Amy and Rory spied the Doctor quietly slipping away, and followed him back to her garden and his TARDIS. There, they bade good-bye to [[Leadworth]] and departed on another adventure: an Egyptian goddess loose on the [[Orient Express]] in space. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')

| Amy and Rory told their friends and family that they were honeymooning in [[Thailand]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)|Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]]'')
| |
| | |
| Instead, they travelled through space and time. They spent the first night of their marriage in their quarters aboard the Doctor's TARDIS, travelling through the [[Time Vortex|time vortex]]. Despite the inherent inconvenience of their bunk-beds, Amy and Rory quickly [[sex|conceived a child]] while transiting time-space, inadvertently causing a mutation in their zygote. ([[TV]]: ''[[Space (TV story)|Space]]'', ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'')
| |
| | |
| The Doctor then left them on to a honeymoon planet — a planet on a honeymoon with an asteroid—just before his TARDIS was stolen by the [[Claw Shansheeth]] of the [[15th Funeral Fleet]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor (TV story)|Death of the Doctor]]'') Amy insisted the Doctor carry her [[mobile phone]] with him to keep in touch. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Night After Hallowe'en]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amy and Rory continued their honeymoon aboard [[Spaceship (A Christmas Carol)|an interstellar cruise ship]]. While the couple engaged in role-play in their WPC and centurion uniforms, their ship almost crashed on [[Ember (planet)|Ember]]. Amy took on the role as the Ghost of Christmas Present to coax [[Kazran Sardick]] into letting the ship land safely. After [[Abigail Pettigrew]] and the Doctor's broken [[sonic screwdriver]] opened the planet's cloud belt to save the ship, the Doctor suggested a moon made of honey as a destination. He said there were some lovely views, but it was technically alive and slightly carnivorous. ([[TV]]:'' [[A Christmas Carol (TV story)|A Christmas Carol]]'')

| |
| Near the end of their honeymoon, the TARDIS materialised inside itself after Rory was distracted by the view through the TARDIS' glass floor and up Amy's skirt, thereby dropping the thermal couplings he was helping the Doctor to install. Amy encountered a future version of herself, with whom she flirted, arousing Rory. As she had with her much younger self, Amy was able to defy the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]] and make physical contact with her slightly older/younger self. The Doctor used the resulting [[space loop]] to end the paradox. ([[TV]]: ''[[Space (TV story)|Space]]'' / ''[[Time (TV story)|Time]]'')

| | |
| === As a Ganger ===
| |
| Amy and Rory returned to Earth sometime before the spring of [[2011]]. She and Rory got on with their home life, occasionally seeing what appeared to be the Doctor "waving" to them from history, until they received a TARDIS blue invitation. The Doctor later said that before responding to the invitation, Amy was kidnapped by [[Kovarian|Madame Kovarian]] and [[the Church]], who had found out that she was [[pregnant]]. She was replaced by a [[ganger]] duplicate to whom her mind was linked, making it seem to both her and those around her that she had not been abducted. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'', ''[[The Almost People (TV story)|The Almost People]]'', ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'')

| |
| Rory and Amy joined the Doctor and River Song for a picnic at [[Lake Silencio]], [[Utah]] on [[22 April]] 2011. Amy and the others stayed back at the Doctor's orders, as a younger version of River hidden inside an astronaut suit shot the Doctor dead, though he was actually a ''[[Teselecta]]'' double. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'', ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') They gave the "corpse" a Viking funeral afloat on the lake, using gasoline brought by the other invitee, an elderly [[Canton Everett Delaware III]]. Amy, Rory and River went to a diner to find a younger Eleventh Doctor had been invited as well. Amy persuaded him to find the younger version of the Delaware in [[1969]]. They found him in [[Richard Nixon]]'s [[Oval Office]] on [[8 April]] of that year. Delaware joined them to find the frightened little girl in [[Florida]] who was able to telephone Nixon wherever he was. They discovered the [[Silent]]s, who were aliens which had been ruling Earth since the Stone Age. After Amy was hypnotised by a Silent, she told the Doctor that she was pregnant, before she had even told Rory. Seeing a space suit approaching the Doctor, Amy grabbed Delaware's revolver and fired. Inside was a [[River Song#A little girl lost|little girl]] whom Amy was grateful for having not injured. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'')
| |
| | |
| After three months of running, Amy and Rory faked their deaths by appearing to have been shot and killed by Agent Delaware who delivered them in body bags to the Doctor at [[Area 51]]. Leaving in the TARDIS, Amy opened the entrance and the doors leading to the swimming pool for River Song's arrival from the 50th storey of a [[New York City]] skyscraper. Amy and Delaware investigated a nearly abandoned orphanage in Florida, that was filled with Silents. There, Amy found a photograph of herself holding a baby, in a girl's bedroom, and momentarily saw a woman with an eye-patch looking through a slot that disappeared. When the Doctor and Rory came to find her, she had vanished, leaving a device that was supposed to be permanently bonded to her on the floor. When Amy regained consciousness, she was strapped to a table. The Silents told her she would "bring the silence". After she was rescued by Rory, the Doctor, and River, Amy informed the Doctor that she was not pregnant after all, and explained that she spoke to him first because she was worried that all of her travels would cause her baby to be born with a "time head" or other mutation, a concern the Doctor dismissed. Nevertheless, he surreptitiously scanned her and found her pregnancy status oscillated positive and negative. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Moon (TV story)|Day of the Moon]]'')

| [[File:Amy-pirate.jpg|thumb|Amy holding up a sword in a pirate outfit. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of the Black Spot]]'')]] Landing in the [[17th century]], Amy helped the Doctor stop a [[Siren]] abducting the crew of [[Henry Avery]]'s [[pirate]] ship, the ''[[Fancy]]''. While she slept aboard the ''Fancy'', Amy awoke to notice the [[Eye Patch Lady|woman]] again looking through a hatch, this time looking directly at her. The Siren was really a virtual doctor from an invisible spaceship in the same space as the ''Fancy''. Amy saved a drowned Rory's life with CPR after he convinced her she could do it. Its crew commandeered the ship to see the stars. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of the Black Spot (TV story)|The Curse of the Black Spot]]'')
| |
| | |
| The Doctor steered the TARDIS into a [[bubble universe]] to look for the [[Time Lord]] [[the Corsair]], who had sent a [[Hypercube|distress signal]]. Amy and Rory were trapped inside the TARDIS by [[House (The Doctor's Wife)|House]], who planned to use it to escape to find new food. To amuse itself, House used the TARDIS' temporal nature to torment Amy; she was made to believe Rory had died of old age. They were saved by the Doctor, who regained entry to the TARDIS and used its very soul to expel/kill House. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'')
| |
| | |
| A solar tsunami sent the TARDIS crash-landing in the [[22nd century]]. Amy became involved in a [[ganger]] revolution, helping them achieve equality despite being wary of the [[Eleventh Doctor (Ganger)|ganger Doctor]]. [[File:Amy-ganger-factory.jpg|thumb|left|Amy explores [[St. John's Monastery|the Monastery]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Almost People (TV story)|The Almost People]]'')]] During this time, Amy saw the Eyepatch Lady twice. The Doctor dismissed her as a "time memory". Amy let his impending death slip to the Doctor. After the ganger Doctor had stopped the revolution, the Doctor promised to find her and destroyed her ganger body. Amy awoke in her real body on [[Demon's Run]]. She was full-term pregnant and the Eye Patch Lady, [[Kovarian|Madame Kovarian]], ordered her to push. Amy entered labour with a horrified scream. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Rebel Flesh (TV story)|The Rebel Flesh]]''/''[[The Almost People (TV story)|The Almost People]]'')

| === Becoming a mother ===
| |
| [[File:Amy-and-baby-melody.jpg|thumb|Amy holds [[River Song|her newborn child]] at [[Demon's Run]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'')]] Amy named her and Rory's daughter Melody for their friend who was generally known by the nickname, Mels. Despite her marriage to Rory, Amy bestowed her maiden name, Pond on her daughter, opining that "Melody Williams" sounded like a geography teacher, whereas "Melody Pond" was the name for a superhero. In the end, she would be essentially both, albeit under a modified name. Amy told her baby that she would never be alone; Melody's father was coming for them, he would was never let them down, he looked young but had lived for hundreds of years, he had a name, but the people of Earth knew him better as "the Last Centurion". ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'')
| |
| | |
| However, unbeknownst to Amy, Melody was taken by Madame Kovarian and replaced by a Ganger to help trap the Doctor. One of the Marines, [[Lorna Bucket]], gave Amy a prayer leaf which she had embroidered with Melody's name in the language of her home, the [[Gamma Forests]], The Doctor and Rory came with an army, took Demon's Run and rescued Amy. After the [[Battle of Demon's Run]], Amy discovered Kovarian's ruse far too late, as Ganger Melody disintegrated in her arms. River Song appeared and showed her the prayer leaf again. The TARDIS' translation matrix back-translated Lorna's language into English, but her people had no word for "pond", as the only water in the forest was the river, and "melody" showed as "song". River Song was Melody. The Doctor left in search of the baby, leaving Amy, Rory, and others to be returned home by their adult daughter. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'') Because of what she underwent at Demon's Run, Amy was rendered incapable of bearing additional children. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'')
| |
| | |
| As the Doctor tried to track down Melody Pond, Amy began to call the TARDIS insistently hoping to be updated with his progress on the search and hopefully receive good news. Unfortunately, the Doctor's search was a complete failure and he felt too much regret to take her calls, letting the answering machine pick them up one by one.

| |
| Tired of waiting "all summer" for the Doctor to find the infant Melody/River, Amy navigated as Rory drove through a field in Leadworth to make a crop circle spelling out "Doctor". The TARDIS arrived, and the Doctor emerged from it with a newspaper displaying a front page headline with the crop circle, giving the Ponds a very dry look for going to such lengths to get his attention. Amy defended that it was because he had not returned any of her calls. Rory noticed an unfamiliar mark cutting through the crop circle that they didn't make in the newspaper photo, which precluded the arrival of a Corvette that nearly ran over all three of them. Screaming, they dove away from the renegade vehicle and watched it grind to a halt in the corn field. Its driver stepped out, [[River Song#Mels|Mels]], an old friend of the Ponds with a huge rebellious streak. She hijacked the Doctor at gunpoint and demanded for the Doctor to take her on a ride in the TARDIS, on the run from the police for stealing a car. At Mels' insistence, the TARDIS landed in the office of [[Adolf Hitler]]'s [[Berlin]] office in [[1938]], after she had tried to shoot her gun inside the ship and caused a crash landing. They accidentally saved his life from being taken by a [[Justice Department]] division piloting the ''[[Teselecta]]'', who had assumed the form of [[Erich Zimmerman]]. Hitler opened fire on the ''Teselecta'' in a panic, and Mels was shot by his lousy aim. Mels appeared to be dying from her injuries, but a large burst of energy erupted from her body. Amy explained to the Doctor that she had named Melody after Mels, just as Mels was noting that Amy got to raise her daughter after all, addressed Rory "Dad" and regenerated into the body that would come to be known as River Song, Controlled by her brainwashing, Melody gave the Doctor a [[Judas tree|poisoned kiss]]. Amy convinced her the Doctor was worth saving and saw her daughter sacrifice her remaining regenerations to revive him. Amy, Rory, and the Doctor divulged the alias "River Song" to her, before leaving her to recover at the [[Sisters of the Infinite Schism|hospital]] and find her own path. ([[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'')

| === Nearing the end ===
| |
| | |
| The TARDIS landed on [[Earth]] in [[2011]], following a distress signal from a [[Tenza]] named [[George (Night Terrors)|George]] to a block of flats. Amy and Rory knocked on many doors, but failed to find him. They entered a lift and were dropped into a doll's house where George kept everything he feared. The house was inhabited by [[peg doll (Night Terrors)|peg dolls]]. Amy was caught and added to their ranks to chase Rory and other people there. When George overcame his fear, Amy was restored to normal along with the other victims. ([[TV]]: ''[[Night Terrors (TV story)|Night Terrors]]'')

| |
| On the universe's second most popular vacation planet, [[Apalapucia]], Amy accidentally admitted herself into a facility for [[Chen-7]], a plague deadly to beings with two hearts like the Doctor. The [[Handbot]]s running the facility mistook her for a patient and kept almost killing her, as their medicine was deadly to humans. Amy hid and waited for rescue. She was ultimately rescued by the Doctor, Rory, and a future version of herself trapped on Apalapucia for thirty-six years. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Waited (TV story)|The Girl Who Waited]]'')

| | |
| Amy and Rory went to [[China]] in the [[13th century]]. The guards of the [[Liao Palace]] attacked them for taking food. After the TARDIS took off, it collided with a [[Rutan Host|Rutan]] ship, which crashed on the future site of the [[Houses of Parliament]]. The ship put its occupants in stasis until [[1605]], at which time it sent a distress call. The TARDIS responded and landed in [[London]]. Beneath Parliament, Amy and Rory discovered [[Guy Fawkes]] and [[Robert Catesby]] plotting with the Rutan [[Elizabeth Winters|Lady Winters]] to blow up Parliament and kill [[James I|King James I]]. Amy and Rory found the Rutan ship and helped find the power rods for the ship to take off. They were caught in a conflict between [[Sontaran]]s and Rutans over the Rutans' two doomsday weapons. The Doctor reprogrammed one of the weapons to target Rutans, resulting in a stalemate. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Gunpowder Plot (video game)|The Gunpowder Plot]]'')

| === Departure from the Doctor ===
| |
| [[File:GodComplexAmy.jpg|thumb|right|Amy reluctantly watches as the Doctor leaves her and Rory with their new house. ([[TV]]: ''[[The God Complex]]'')]]
| |
| In a prison for a [[Minotaur (The God Complex)|Minotaur]], where everyone had a room holding their nightmare, Amy found hers: her younger self, waiting for the Doctor. To defeat the Minotaur, the Doctor destroyed Amy's faith in him. After this, he returned Amy and Rory to a new house some time before they had left, leaving them behind to save them from further risks. Amy was upset, but accepted it. She asked the Doctor to tell River to visit them if he saw her. ([[TV]]: ''[[The God Complex]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amy became a model and was involved in a campaign for [[Petrichor]], a perfume whose name and campaign evoked [[The Doctor's Wife|an adventure with the Doctor]]. By the time the Doctor and [[Craig Owens]] defeated a [[Cyberman]] invasion, Amy was famous enough to be seen signing autographs. ([[TV]]: ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Life as unusual ===
| |
| After an [[River Song's World|alternate timeline]] was reverted, Amy sat in her garden, despondent over the Doctor's death and her own cold-blooded murder of Kovarian. River, fresh from the crash of the ''Byzantium'', arrived to tell Amy the truth behind her lies, including the Doctor's "death". This lifted Amy's spirits until she realised she had been destined to be her best friend's mother-in law since she was seven. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song]]'')
| |
| Approximately two years later, the Doctor joined Amy and Rory for [[Christmas]] dinner. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe]]'')
| |
| | |
| The Doctor continued to travel alone, but kept in touch with Amy and Rory at least monthly. Once, in the middle of the night, he stopped by to pick the couple up to help save the universe, but realised he had arrived too early and they did not know what he was talking about. Later, an [[Ood (Pond Life)|Ood]] wandered out of the TARDIS and into their bathroom. With the Doctor unable to pick up the Ood right away, he acted as Amy and Rory's butler while he stayed there, which made the couple very uncomfortable. At one point, the Doctor was able to pick the Ood up and return him to his proper time and place. ([[WC]]: ''[[Pond Life]]'') During this time, Amy and Rory [[Sex|tried having more children]]; however, Amy discovered that she was now sterile as a result of what was done to her while imprisoned on [[Demons Run]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'')
| |
| | |
| He left Amy and Rory a message saying he would be seeing them again very soon; this occurred as Amy and Rory had a fight, and Rory stormed out. ([[WC]]: ''[[Pond Life (webcast)|Pond Life]]'') Amy admitted it was a misguided attempt to let Rory have a happier life and have children which she was now incapable of having. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'') After leaving the message, the Doctor thought better of it and used the [[sonic screwdriver]] to erase the message over the phone. Amy, upon entering and seeing the answering machine with no messages, tearfully said, "We need you, Raggedy Man. I need you." ([[WC]]: ''[[Pond Life (webcast)|Pond Life]]'')

| === Occasional companion ===
| |
| [[File:I_gave_you_up.jpg|thumb|left|Amy explains to Rory why she left him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks]]'')]]
| |
| Sometime after their fight, Amy and Rory prepared to [[divorce]]. At a photo shoot, Amy signed a paper to make it official, but Rory never got the chance to turn it in. He was cornered by a [[Dalek puppet]] on the bus, while Amy encountered one in her makeup room. The puppets neutralised Amy and Rory and teleported them off the Earth. Another subdued the Doctor. The [[Dalek]]s took Amy, Rory and the Doctor to the [[Parliament of the Daleks]]. There, the Daleks asked them to save the Daleks from the insane Daleks from the [[Dalek Asylum]] by switching off the planet's defences. They were fired into the planet. Amy was slowly being converted into a Dalek puppet by the [[nanocloud]] with her love being drained. Rory tried to save her by giving her his [[Dalek bracelet|protective bracelet]], though Amy had already been given the Doctor's bracelet without her realising. Amy responded that she had only divorced him because she knew she couldn't have children. They reconciled and the divorce was never finalised. The converted Dalek [[Oswin Oswald|Oswin]] erased knowledge of the Doctor from the Daleks' [[Path Web]] and lowered the Asylum's defences. At the last moment, the Doctor and his companions teleported into the TARDIS and escaped the Daleks. Amy and Rory returned home. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'')
| |
| | |
| Sometime following her return from the Dalek Asylum, Amy gave up her modelling career. Ten months after their last adventure, the Doctor materialised the TARDIS around Amy, Rory, and Rory's father, [[Brian Williams (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)|Brian]], who were repairing a [[light bulb|light]] in Amy and Rory's living room. The Doctor took them, [[Nefertiti|Queen Nefertiti of Egypt]] and [[John Riddell]], a 20th century game hunter, to [[2367]] to investigate a ship that was headed straight to Earth and would reach it in six hours. Upon entering, they immediately found it contained [[dinosaur]]s.

| [[File:Amy and co computer screen.jpg|thumb|Amy discovers the secret of the [[Silurian Ark]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)|Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]]'')]]
| |
| Amy discovered the vessel was a [[Silurian Ark]]. [[Solomon (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)|Solomon]], who had forced the Doctor to bring him back to health so he could make off with the cargo, had killed all the Silurians on the ark. Discovering he had a few hours until the ISA launched missiles at the ship and unable to pilot the ark, Solomon took the most valuable thing on the ship identified by his [[IV system]], Nefertiti. The Doctor magnetised the ark, trapping Solomon's ship inside. Amy and Riddell defended the control deck from [[raptor]]s with non-lethal rounds while the Doctor searched for the object emitting the ark's signal. The Doctor released Solomon's ship once he put the signal of the ark inside Solomon's ship. The ISA missiles destroyed Solomon and Rory and Brian piloted the ark to safety. The Doctor returned Amy and Rory home, and took Brian on a tour through time and space, from where he sent postcards to his his son and daughter-in-law.

| In the same year, Amy and Rory travelled to [[Cwmtaff]] to wave at their younger selves during their adventure with the Doctor where they first encountered the Silurians. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Hungry Earth]]'')
| |
| | |
| Attempting to take his in-laws to [[Mexico]]'s Day of the Dead festival, the Doctor ended up in [[1870]] [[Mercy, Nevada]]. Mercy was under siege by the [[Kahler (species)|Kahler]] [[cyborg]] [[Kahler-Tek]], also known as the Gunslinger. Tek was after scientist [[Kahler-Jex]], whom the townsfolk had taken in, and had cut off supply deliveries. The Doctor learnt Jex experimented on his people to create living weapons to win a long war; he became Mercy's doctor in repentance. Tek was a "subject" who regained his sense of self, killing the scientists that experimented on him in revenge. While having no interest in the town, he warned the Doctor he would start killing if Jex wasn't handed over.
| |
| | |
| Tired of the innocents getting hurt due to his mercy, the enraged Doctor nearly handed Jex over to Tek, only to be talked down by Amy. Mercy's [[United States Marshal|marshal]] [[Isaac (A Town Called Mercy)|Isaac]] was accidentally killed when he pushed Jex out of the path of Tek's weapon. In his dying breath, Isaac made the Doctor marshal. Distraught by what he'd done, Tek made a bluff: hand Jex over by noon the next day or the town would be destroyed. In a duel, the Doctor distracted Tek and Jex escaped to his ship. Jex, feeling guilt for the experiments he conducted, committed suicide by blowing up his ship. The Doctor talked Tek out self-destructing, instead having him become the new protector of Mercy. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)|A Town Called Mercy]]'')

| [[File:Cubed Power of Three.jpg|thumb|Amy, Rory, and the Doctor return to their travels in the TARDIS ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power_of_Three_(TV_story)|The Power of Three]]'')]]
| |
| Amy began working as a writer of travel articles. The Doctor discovered a strange
| |
| occurrence on Earth during Amy and Rory's time; black cubes had appeared all over Earth. Since they seemed harmless and he lacked the patience to stick around, the Doctor left after only a few days and Amy, Rory and Brian continued examining the cubes. Amy and Rory had started struggling over the choice over life with the Doctor or life on Earth. Amy committed to being a bridesmaid, something she wouldn't have done before. On Amy and Rory's wedding anniversary, the Doctor returned and got them sidetracked on a trip for seven weeks. They found a Zygon ship that had been buried under the [[Savoy Hotel]] and Amy accidentally married King [[Henry VIII]]; in doing so, she became the stepmother of [[Elizabeth I]] and thus the mother-in-law of the [[Tenth Doctor]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of Three (TV story)|The Power of Three]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]], [[The Day of the Doctor]]'')
| |
| | |
| After this trip, he missed the Ponds, and decided to watch the cubes with them. A year after the cubes appeared, they finally activated, behaving in unusual manner. [[Kate Stewart]], head of scientific research at [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] and the daughter of [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]], summoned the Doctor and Amy to UNIT and investigate the cubes. The cubes released an electric pulse that stopped the hearts of a third of humanity. The Doctor traced the cubes to the [[Shakri]], who wished to wipe out the "plague" of humanity before they could colonise space. He reversed the electric pulse, restarting the hearts of those affected, blowing up the Shakri ship in the process. On Brian's urging, the Doctor took his in-laws back as full-time companions, as travelling with him was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of Three (TV story)|The Power of Three]]'')

| | |
| === Final adventure with the Doctor ===
| |
| In [[2012]] [[Manhattan]], Rory was transported back in time to [[1938]] by the Weeping Angels whilst carrying coffee back to Amy and the Doctor in [[Central Park]]. While the Doctor read to her from the pulp paperback he had discovered in his coat pocket, ''[[Melody Malone: Private Detective in Old New York Town]]'', they realised that it was about River and Rory on the night of [[3 April]] [[1938]] and the narrator was in fact River. New York of that era was saturated with time energy, inhibiting the Doctor's ability to pilot the TARDIS without a form of "landing lights". Amy read in the novel that River and Rory were taken to the home of [[Julius Grayle]] a mobster and collector of early Qin Dynasty artefacts. Accordingly, she and the Doctor flew to China in 221 BC, the first year of the dynasty, where they commissioned a vase to read "Yowza" in clerical script, to signal River to activate her vortex manipulator as "landing lights" to guide the TARDIS. They and River followed Rory to [[Winter Quay]] where he had been sent by baby Weeping Angels. They found him in a room where an old Rory died in a bed before their eyes. The Doctor realised that the Angels took over Manhattan and transported people into the past, trapping them in the Quay to feed off of their time energy. Amy and Rory jumped off the roof of Winter Quay in order to create a paradox causing Rory to have never been taken by the Angels. The paradox worked, and the Angels were destroyed.

| |
| The Doctor, Rory, Amy, River and the TARDIS appeared in the graveyard in New York in 2012 again with all of them alive. Relieved, they decided to go on a family outing, but before they entered the TARDIS, Rory found his own grave and was immediately sent back in time by a surviving Angel. Amy, devastated, decided to risk her life again in the hope of being reunited with Rory, exiled in the past. The Doctor pleaded with her not to go through with such a dangerous plan. River, however, believed (or already knew) that the plan would work and encouraged Amy. She kept her eyes on the Angel as she bid farewell to the Doctor and River. Reaching backwards, she took her daughter's hand and addressed her by the name she had given her at birth, telling Melody to take care of the Doctor. She turned her back to the Angel and said good-bye as the Angel sent her away. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'')

| === Life after the Doctor ===
| |
| [[File:Amy2.JPG|thumb|left|Amy as a writer in the past. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Imaginary Enemies (comic story)|Imaginary Enemies]]'')]]
| |
| River later sent a manuscript to Amy to publish. Posing as a pulp detective novel, ''[[Melody Malone: Private Detective in Old New York Town]]'', was actually River's memoir of the events leading up to Amy and Rory's exile into the past, and a guidebook for Amy, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and Rory to use at that time. With the Doctor unable to approach New York at the risk of an even more catastrophic paradox, River asked Amy to write an afterword for the novel, as an open letter to the Doctor. In it, she told him that she and Rory both loved him and asked him not to travel alone. She explained that she and Rory were happy and lived in relative comfort. At the end of the afterword, Amy made two final requests of the Doctor. The first was that he go back to the morning when he never came back for her, explain to her seven-year-old self that she would have to be patient and that it would be worth the wait. She asked him to tell her of the adventures they would share and that she would fall in love with a man who would wait two thousand years to keep her safe. The second was that he should find a new companion, because he should never be alone. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan]]'')

| At some point Amy wrote a famous book called the ''[[Night Thief of Ill-Harbour]]''. She lived on the third floor of a building in the [[Upper West Side]] at the time she was interviewed by [[Chrissie Allen]] in [[1969]], for the ''[[Brooklyn Fayre]]''. Amy revealed that she and Rory had just returned from a vacation to [[Florida]] and [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], where they "watched" friends and family that were "having a rough time." She also stated that next book was going to be about a little girl who was lost on the streets of 1969 New York: "Imagine that — me, a crazy old bag lady wandering the streets of New York looking for a lost girl. But yes, I do go looking for her." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Summer Falls and Other Stories (anthology)|Summer Falls and Other Stories]]'')

| | |
| Amy died at age 87 and was buried in New York, next to her husband, whom she outlived by five years. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'')

| === Legacy ===
| |
| [[File:ElevenAmyTOTD.jpg|thumb|Amy saying goodbye to [[Eleventh Doctor|her Doctor]] one last time. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'')]]
| |
| Before the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s regeneration, he hallucinated a young Amelia run around the [[TARDIS console room]], surrounded by drawings of the Doctor and the TARDIS drawn by the townsfolk of Christmas. An older Amelia then walked down the TARDIS staircase and stroked his face lovingly. She said to him, in his final moments, "[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|Raggedy Man]], good night." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'')
| |
| | |
| == Alternative timelines ==
| |
| In a timeline where most of the universe had [[Total Event Collapse|never existed]], seven-year-old Amelia still remembered stars in the sky. When she prayed for Santa, she looked outside, but saw nothing. Later, Amelia saw a figure slide a brochure through her letterbox. On it was a note, "Come along, Pond." Her favourite school subject and her favourite book had converged, and she insisted her Aunt Sharon take her to the [[National Museum]] in [[London]] to see the exhibit of the [[Pandorica]] and the other mysterious objects from Roman-era Stonehenge. Once at the Pandorica, her drink was suddenly snatched away and she discovered a Post-It Note telling her to wait. Intrigued, Amelia hid and waited for the museum to close. She returned to the Pandorica and instinctively touched it. As her DNA matched that of the mysterious box's contents, it immediately opened whereupon an older Amy from another timeline emerged after being put into stasis for two thousand years. The two watched a brief video about the Pandorica and the legend of its loyal protector, the mythical "Lone Centurion" before a Dalek came to life and was shot by a security guard. The Raggedy Doctor appeared and gave her back her drink, and she soon disappeared due to history being erased. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')
| |
| | |
| In one timeline, Amy had been abandoned in the Apalapucian facility for over thirty-six years. She was nearly insane from loneliness. She made a [[sonic probe]] to help her fight the Handbots and turned one of them into her pet, naming it [[Rory (Handbot)|Rory]]. When the Doctor and Rory arrived, she refused to help them rescue her past self, but after a talk with her younger self, agreed to help rescue her if she were taken too. The Doctor betrayed her; only one Amy could be saved. The older Amy gave her existence so her husband and she could have a life together. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Waited]]'')
| |
| [[File:Pond, Amelia Pond.jpg|thumb|Amy in [[River Song's World]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song]]'')]]
| |
| | |
| In another alternate timeline, the Doctor wasn't killed and a fixed point in time was altered. Amy led a group that included Rory and River. She had an office on board a train and had to draw images of the original timeline to remember them. Despite this she didn't recognise Rory until later. They tried to fix time without killing the Doctor. Eventually the timeline was reverted when the Doctor married River and revealed she would be shooting the ''Teselecta''. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song]]'')
| |
| | |
| == Personality ==
| |
| Amy was adventurous and reckless, with a dry wit and a stubborn streak. She had a difficult childhood being an orphan raised by her aunt. Her parents had been wiped from existence by the Time Field in her childhood bedroom. She felt abandoned by the Doctor. She was rarely open with her feelings and often mistrustful and wary. She held people she cared for at arm's length, as she did in her early relationship with Rory ([[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'', ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'', ''[[The Vampires of Venice (TV story)|The Vampires of Venice]]'') and the Doctor when he returned. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'') Amy had jokes made about her [[Scotland|Scottish]] heritage by mostly the Doctor and Rory, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]], [[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]], [[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'') or even herself. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]], [[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]], [[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'')
| |
| | |
| As a child, Amelia was stoic and able to care for herself. She prayed to [[Santa Claus]] for help with the crack in her wall and was unsurprised to meet the Doctor. She lusted for the adventure of travel with him. When he did not return, she grew into a cynical and aggressive young woman. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'')
| |
| [[File:Walk like you can see.jpg|thumb|Amy goes through a more traumatic experience ([[TV]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'')]]
| |
| Amy was often flippant in the face of danger, ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'') with the exception of her traumatic experience in the forest aboard the ''[[Byzantium (ship)|Byzantium]]''. She traded barbs with [[Rosanna Calvierri]] when facing a forcible blood replacement and cracked jokes while confronting apparent doom on the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'', ''[[The Vampires of Venice (TV story)|The Vampires of Venice]]'', ''[[Amy's Choice (TV story)|Amy's Choice]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amy was also very flirtatious. In Leadworth, she worked as a kissogram. She was attracted to the Doctor, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'') Vincent van Gogh ([[TV]]: ''[[Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)|Vincent and the Doctor]]'') and the Roman soldiers at Stonehenge. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'') She once tried to seduce the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'') Rory claimed she only passed her driving test on her first go because of a revealing skirt. ([[TV]]: ''[[Space (TV story)|Space]]'') She had no problem being naked in front of the Doctor after a mutation into a butterfly-woman was reversed. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Supernature (comic story)|Supernature]]'').
| |
| | |
| Amy was troubled and lonely. She was often left alone by her aunt Sharon, who refused to deal with her fear of the crack in her wall. After meeting the Doctor, she was obsessed with her "Raggedy Doctor" and refused to believe he was imaginary, biting psychiatrists when they tried to convince her otherwise. Mels, a school troublemaker, her close friend and daughter, once pointed out she often misbehaved in school. Despite this, she was a protective, maternal figure for Mels, leading her — while regenerating into River Song after being revealed as Melody Pond — to remark, "You got to raise me after all." ([[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'')
| |
| | |
| Although she seemed dismissive of Rory early on, Amy eventually began to respect him. Amy grew to love her husband, Rory, passionately and called the Doctor her best friend. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Moon (TV story)|Day of the Moon]]'') She felt he could fix anything. ([[TV]]: ''[[The God Complex (TV story)|The God Complex]]'') Despite her tough exterior, Amy could not always hide her emotions and was devastated when faced with the loss of loved ones such as Rory, Melody, the Doctor and Vincent van Gogh. She broke down in tears when the Doctor left her on Earth with Rory. ([[TV]]: ''[[The God Complex (TV story)|The God Complex]]'', ''[[The Vampires of Venice (TV story)|The Vampires of Venice]]'', ''[[Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)|Vincent and the Doctor]]'', et al.) Once she discovered that something done to her at [[Demons Run]] made her sterile and unable to give birth to any more children, Amy tried forcing Rory out of her life to give him a better chance at having children with someone else. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'')
| |
| | |
| In her time on the TARDIS, Amy was heroic, saving the lives of the Doctor, Rory, River and others. She was willing to remain in the clutches of enemies to let her friends escape. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of Angels (TV story)|The Time of Angels]]'', ''[[Day of the Moon (TV story)|Day of the Moon]]'') Her mind, altered by her growing up with a crack in space and time in her bedroom wall, restored erased beings to the universe ([[TV]]:'' [[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'') using only her memories. She knew time could be rewritten and hoped there was a way to rewrite it to avoid the Doctor's death. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'', ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]''). She could remember alternate timelines. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'', [[Night and the Doctor]]: ''[[Good Night]])''
| |
| | |
| Amy showed a ruthless streak. In an alternate timeline, [[Madame Kovarian]] was being killed by her [[Eye Drive|eye drive]] and had gotten it most of the way off; she asked Amy to help her because it was what the Doctor would do. Amy said, "He's not here", and put Kovarian's eye drive back on, killing her for having stolen her baby from her. She was conflicted about this later. ([[TV]]:'' [[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'')
| |
| | |
| Amy's worst fear was being "the girl who waited", which stemmed from her childhood of waiting for the Doctor to take her with him in the TARDIS. This fear continued into her adulthood when she became worried about a day where the Doctor might disappear from her life forever, and she would continue to spend her life waiting for a return that would never come.([[TV]]: ''[[The God Complex (TV story)|The God Complex]]'', ''[[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)|Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]]'')
| |
| | |
| During her adventure aboard the Silurian Ark, Amy told the Doctor that she had quit her recent job. She admitted that she could not settle down because she was always listening for the TARDIS to materialise nearby to take her and Rory away. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)|Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]]'')
| |
| | |
| == Other information ==
| |
| === Skills ===
| |
| Amy was skilled at swinging and using a [[sword]]. ([[TV]]:'' [[The Curse of the Black Spot]]'') She could also pick a lock with only a [[hair-pin]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below]]'') Amy could tell what others were thinking the more she knew them; when the Doctor was making silent movements, she could tell what he was thinking. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks]]'') Amy was able to easily find information in a complex computer system on the [[Silurian Ark]], which aided the Doctor in finding out where the ship came from and was going to. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)|Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]]'')
| |
| | |
| Despite taking jobs based around her physical appearance (first that of kissogram, later model) Amy was highly intelligent, able to solve intricate mysteries using observant analysis and even, on one occasion, to single-handedly build her own sonic screwdriver. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below]]'', ''[[The Girl Who Waited]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Deaths ===
| |
| Although not as well known for it as Rory, Amy died several times.
| |
| * Amy committed [[suicide]] in a dream after Rory was killed, and woke up in another dream in which she died again when the Doctor blew up the TARDIS to return them to reality. ([[TV]]: ''[[Amy's Choice (TV story)|Amy's Choice]]'')
| |
| * Amy was accidentally killed by the Auton duplicate of Rory, but was revived by the Pandorica. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]], [[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')
| |
| * An older version of Amy died so that the younger version of her could stay with Rory. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Waited (TV story)|The Girl Who Waited]]'')
| |
| * Amy and Rory sacrificed themselves by jumping off the [[Winter Quay]] building to create a paradox in order to kill the Weeping Angels, but woke up in a graveyard since they had destroyed the timeline of that event in order to defeat most of the Angels. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'')
| |
| * Amy was sent back in time by a Weeping Angel and died of old age a few years after Rory. This time her death was permanent. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Appearance ===
| |
| Amy Pond was tall and long-legged, inspiring the Doctor to introduce her to the [[Richard Nixon|President of the United States]] as "Code name 'the Legs'". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut]]'') [[Clara Oswald]] at one point also remarked about her legs. ([[TV]]: ''[[Clara and the TARDIS]]'') She had coppery red hair, freckles and green eyes. She frequently wore short skirts, often with opaque or coloured tights or leggings. She liked to paint her fingernails in different colours, most often red. She was considered by many to be very beautiful and worked as a kissogram and later a model. She attracted the attention of [[Rory Williams]], whom she married, [[Vincent van Gogh]], who said she was cute and suggested that they have a dozen children together, and [[John Riddell]], who said he was glad to be fighting with her at his side, although since she was married to Rory he did not actually flirt with her. ([[TV]]: ''[[Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)|Vincent and the Doctor]], [[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)|Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]]'')
| |
| | |
| As she matured, she took to wearing reading glasses. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'')
| |
| | |
| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| === What's Amy's married name? ===
| |
| [[File:DivorcePapers.jpg|thumb|right|Amy's signature on divorce papers shows her to be a Williams. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'')]]
| |
| Following her wedding in ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'', Amy's actual last name was a matter of speculation. Throughout most of [[series 6 (Doctor Who)|series 6]], the Doctor continued to call her "Pond", leaving open the possibility that she didn't necessarily take [[Rory Williams|Rory]]'s last name. His lone use of "Amy Williams" in ''[[The God Complex (TV story)|The God Complex]]'' — at a time when he was trying to make her see her life through a more "real" lens — suggested, but did not confirm, that she actually was "Amy Williams". Similarly, the Doctor had taken to referring to Rory as "Rory Pond", meaning the continued use of "Pond" in reference to Amy may have been erroneous also, and in at least one instance in ''[[The Girl Who Waited (TV story)|The Girl Who Waited]]'', gave her own name as Amy Pond . However, speculation ended with ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'', where she was definitively shown signing her legal name to a [[divorce]] document as "Williams". In ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan]]'', she uses Amelia Williams in the afterword of her daughter's [[Melody Malone: Private Detective in Old New York Town|detective novel]], another [[Summer Falls|novel]] she published before her death, and the gravestone she shares with Rory.
| |
| | |
| === Played by two actors ===
| |
| Amy is the first companion in ''Doctor Who'' history to have two concurrent recurring portrayers, namely [[Karen Gillan]] and [[Caitlin Blackwood]]. The two, albeit being first cousins, had never met prior to the read-through and filming for ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]''. Though Blackwood and Gillan are physically similar, they have different eye colours: Gillan has green eyes, while Blackwood's are blue.
| |
| | |
| While several companions have been portrayed by one or more juvenile actors in flashbacks and visits to earlier points in their timelines, Amy is the only companion whose role was originated by her juvenile actor and subsequently taken over by her regular adult actor, or who was invited to travel with the Doctor as a child, or who closed-out the role. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'', ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Controversies ===
| |
| After the premiere of ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'', Amy was criticised as too sexy for a family programme like ''Doctor Who''. [[Piers Wenger]], a [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|series 5]] [[executive producer]], said, “The whole kissogramme thing played into Steven’s desire for the companion to be feisty and outspoken and a bit of a number. Amy is probably the wildest companion that the Doctor has travelled with, but she isn’t promiscuous. She is really a two-man woman and that will become clear over the course of the episodes."<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/doctor-who/7554825/Viewers-think-new-Doctor-Who-is-too-sexy.html</ref>
| |
| | |
| Earlier in 2010, Amy's red hair was used to defuse the so-called [[The End of Time (TV story)#Ginger controversy|"Ginger controversy"]] that erupted in early January 2010 due to misinterpretation of a statement made by the Eleventh Doctor on his regeneration. Pointing out the programme's history of employing red-headed actors, the BBC noted that Amy was the [[Donna Noble|second]] [[Catherine Tate|consecutive]] main TV companion to have red hair. <ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/response/2010/01/100106_res_doctorwho_ginger_jmf.shtml BBC Complaint response], 6 January 2010</ref>
| |
| | |
| === ''The Brilliant Book 2012'' ===
| |
| ''[[The Brilliant Book 2012]]'', a non-narrative source, states that:
| |
| * Amy and Rory's other unchronicled honeymoon destinations included meeting [[William Shakespeare]] in [[1605]], having a picnic in the bee-infested Gardens of Zul-Thep in 3104, and encountering [[Wyatt Earp]] and a cactus in an adventure involving acid-spitting land squids on Drago14. | |
| * Amy became a renegade to give the Silent a false sense of security, travelling to North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Idaho to find more about them.
| |
| * When Canton tried to "kill" her, Amy was given [[Cryotosis Podlets|cryotosis podlets]] to feign death.
| |
| | |
| === ''P.S.'' ===
| |
| [[File:Amy,_Rory,_and_Anthony.JPG|thumb|right|Rory, Amy, and their son, [[Anthony Williams]]. ([[WC]]: ''[[P.S. (webcast)|P.S.]]'')]]
| |
| ''[[P.S. (webcast)|P.S.]]'', a cancelled [[DVD]] extra, gave some additional details about what happened to Amy after the events of ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]''. Despite the fact that the scene was released by the BBC, however, it can't be taken as necessarily [[T:VS|valid]], any more than any other deleted or unfinished scene.
| |
| | |
| According to the scene, Amy and Rory arrived circa 1938, roughly fifty years before their births. They settled in New York and bought a house with a small yard which Rory cultivated as a garden. Observing the convention of the time, she adopted her husband's surname, Williams. They adopted a baby boy in [[1946]], whom they named [[Anthony Williams|Anthony Brian Williams]], and told of their travels through time and space.
| |
| | |
| === Other matters ===
| |
| * Amy is the second televised companion to have a Scottish accent and only the third regularly-appearing Scots character in series history, after [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]].
| |
| * Amy is the second companion in the new series pursued romantically by real historical figures. She was proposed to by [[Vincent van Gogh]] and accidentally married [[Henry VIII]]. [[William Shakespeare]] made amorous advances to [[Martha Jones]].
| |
| * The Williamses are the only full-time or recurring companions of the new series not to have met any full-time ex-companions.
| |
| * At age ten, Amelia wrote that she was not allowed to talk about her imaginary friend, the Raggedy Doctor, otherwise "Mrs Mitchell would get cross and send [her] to see the nodding lady who smells way too much like cats." She also insisted that he was not imaginary. ([[REF]]: ''[[The Doctor: His Lives and Times]]'')
| |
| * Amy Pond is the longest serving companion of all time with 31 appearances as a companion.
