What is Amy’s personality like in The Big Bang Theory?


Amy’s initial appearance in the series is as an oddly rational person who shows very little emotion and appears awkward in various social situations. As the series goes on, we see Amy having quite a special relationship with the character of Penny in the series. The character grows very attached to Penny, even calling her “bestie” on multiple occasions. With being friends with Penny and later Bernadette, there is a major development in Amy’s character as she is seen as quite open and fun as the show progresses.

Amy is known to be a highly loving person and it is shown by her dedication towards Sheldon by learning his love for things like Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, comic books, science-fiction, video games, and trains, also being a part of it. At some points in the series we also hear her being a voice of reason for Sheldon, making him learn various points in life. Among her various habits, Amy is seen to have quite a narcissistic side to her which could be both scary and funny to view. A glimpse of the same was shown when the character was to be the maid of honor at Howard and Bernadette’s wedding. Amy had claimed to make it her mission to outshine the couple and make it her special day, not missing the point of voicing it out in front of everyone.
