Character biography

Amy makes her debut in Season 3, Episode 23 titled "The Lunar Excitation" (aired May 24, 2010). In the episode, Raj (Kunal Nayyar) and Howard (Simon Helberg) find Amy through an online dating site, after establishing an account using Sheldon's name and information. The site matches her to Sheldon, since the two share many similar traits. Upon meeting, Amy and Sheldon become acquainted. The two initially communicate via text message and video call, and eventually begin meeting in person.

Early on, Amy is shown as coldly rational, displaying little emotion, and is awkward in social situations ranging from endearing to embarrassing. She is initially ambivalent and often condescending towards Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch). But as they grow closer, she sheds her strident, aloof personality for a stereotypically feminine and social one, although retaining some social awkwardness. She begins to consider Penny a close friend, sometimes referring to her as her "bestie", and occasionally admitting that her entire social life revolves around Penny. Penny is fond of Amy, but to her dismay, Amy often fails to grasp the concept of "girl talk", by talking about feminine hygiene and anatomy, and at times being brutally honest. Amy also often demonstrates an infatuation towards Penny, occasionally bordering on physical attraction. Amy tends to display a condescending attitude towards Bernadette, although she still considers her a close friend. Her feelings towards Sheldon have also grown considerably over time. Amy considers him to be ideal in almost every way, though sometimes she displays frustration with Sheldon's quirks, similar to his other friends.

In season 5 (aired September 22, 2011 - May 10, 2012), after Amy goes out on a date with comic-bookstore owner Stuart (Kevin Sussman), Sheldon decides to solidify their relationship as boyfriend/ girlfriend with a 31-page "Relationship Agreement". Later in the season, Amy begins a campaign to increase Sheldon's feelings for her by becoming more involved in his interests, including video games and Star Trek, and treating him as his mother did. During Howard and Bernadette's wedding ceremony, Sheldon says that he hopes the two of them are as happy together as he is alone, hurting Amy's feelings. Later, Sheldon spontaneously takes Amy's hand for comfort as Howard is launched into space.

By the beginning of season 6, Sheldon and Amy regularly display signs of affection, such as holding hands, although Amy wants the relationship to evolve further to include sexual intimacy. By mid-season, Sheldon gets some intimate views of Amy when he cares for her while she has the flu, pushing him further toward a traditional relationship with her. She also provides Sheldon with consoling hugs and receives a slap on the rear by an intoxicated Sheldon who tells everyone that she is a great gal. Sheldon, after being prodded by Barry Kripke about his girlfriend, lies that he is having sex with Amy, though he admits to Penny that he and Amy may engage in sex. Sheldon later makes the same admission to Amy, while engaging in Dungeons & Dragons intercourse game play.

In the season seven episode "The Locomotive Manipulation", Sheldon sarcastically says he will give Amy the romance she wants, then passionately kisses her on the lips for the first time and enjoys it. In "The Prom Equivalency", Sheldon and Amy admit to being in love with each other. In the final episode of season eight, "The Commitment Determination", Amy decides to take a break from her relationship with Sheldon due to the lack of physical affection. Sheldon had intended to propose to Amy, but she took a break from the relationship before he could ask her. Amy ultimately breaks up with Sheldon after a serious disagreement, but they slowly rekindle their relationship and eventually have sex as a birthday present from Sheldon.

When Sheldon's grandmother visits in season nine, she confronts Amy for hurting Sheldon and unintentionally reveals the secret engagement ring in his possession. Although initially shocked, Amy is happy to know that Sheldon loves her enough to have considered taking that step forward in their relationship. Amy later prepares a surprise birthday party for Sheldon, which he has not previously celebrated with the group.

After a plumbing accident makes her apartment uninhabitable in season 10, Sheldon and Amy embark on a five-week experiment living together to test their compatibility. Amy later admits she lied about how long the repairs were taking so that she could continue living with Sheldon. They eventually move into Penny's old apartment together, while Penny moves in with Leonard, and later makes the arrangement permanent. Amy is later offered a three-month science research project at Princeton University in New Jersey and leaves with Sheldon's encouragement. She becomes angry when she learns of Sheldon spending time with Ramona Nowitzki, who she rightfully suspects to have romantic feelings for Sheldon. In the season finale, after Ramona kisses Sheldon, he visits Amy and proposes to her. The episode ends on a cliffhanger awaiting her answer. In the season 11 premiere episode "The Proposal Proposal", which picks up immediately after Sheldon's proposal, Amy's answer is further delayed by a phone call from Leonard and Penny, after which she finally says yes. She and Sheldon marry in the season 11 finale. Amy objects to Sheldon wanting to provide sperm for Zack Johnson's baby but does try and get him excited about having their own child.

Amy is musically inclined and is shown to play the harp, autoharp and keyboard throughout the series.

In the final season, Sheldon and Amy publish their work on super-asymmetric string theory and win the Nobel Prize in Physics together.[1]

Reception

The fourth season received particular praise for character developments. Alan Sepinwall of Uproxx praised the additions of Bernadette and Amy to the cast, writing that "With Amy Farrah Fowler and Bernadette promoted to semi-permanent status, the show is now able to spend large chunks of each episode focusing only on the women, and in the process has made Penny a much more well-rounded character rather than just a foil for the nerds".[2]
