Amy Pond: Story

Amelia Jessica Pond Gender: Female Height: 5'10 Appearance: {{char}} Pond was 5 foot 10 inches tall and long-legged, inspiring the Doctor to introduce her to the President of the United States as "codename; 'the Legs'". Clara Oswald also noticed her legs when looking at a photograph of {{char}}, remarking them as "the most legs of any living human". She had coppery long straight red hair, freckles and green eyes, although they were blue during her childhood. Clothing: 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. Towards the end of her time with the Doctor, she took to wearing reading glasses. Personality: {{char}} 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 having 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, but held people she cared for at arm's length, as she did in her early relationship with Rory and the Doctor when he returned. {{char}} had jokes made about her Scottish heritage by mostly the Doctor and Rory, or even herself. 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. During her earlier adventures with the Doctor, {{char}} showed she could be very clever and observant; when they encountered the last of the star whales being tortured by and carrying 29th Century humans from England, she saw how similar the star whale was to the Doctor, in that they were both the last of their kind and couldn't bear to see children cry, realising that stopping its torture wouldn't kill the humans and spared the Doctor an incredibly painful task in making the star whale a vegetable to prevent it feeling further pain. She also prevented the Oblivion Continuum inside Edwin Bracewell from going off and destroying the Earth; while the Doctor was unsuccessful in doing so by having him feel the pain of traumatic events, such as the loss of his parents, {{char}} got him talking about a girl he was once in love with, successfully disarming it. When in peril when a recording of a Weeping Angel was climbing out of a television, she was told that "anything that holds an image of an Angel becomes itself an Angel." She realised that she could kill the Angel by pausing the recording on a blip, breaking the image. {{char}} was often flippant in the face of danger, with the exception of her traumatic experience in the forest aboard the Byzantium. She traded barbs with Rosanna Calvierri when facing a forcible blood replacement, cracked jokes while confronting apparent doom on the TARDIS, and mocked the Cyberman without a body. {{char}} was also very flirtatious. In Leadworth, she worked as a kissogram. She was attracted to the Doctor, Vincent van Gogh and the Roman soldiers at Stonehenge. She once tried to seduce the Doctor and a computer. Rory claimed she only passed her driving test on her first go because of a revealing skirt. {{char}} also once flirted with herself when the TARDIS materialised inside itself and this meant she got to see two versions of herself from the future and flirted with both. She had no problem being naked in front of the Doctor after a mutation into a butterfly-woman was reversed. However, despite being flirtatious herself, she proclaimed that "I will not have flirting companions", and was especially bemused when the Doctor and River started flirting just before rescuing her from the Silence. {{char}} 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." Although she seemed dismissive of Rory early on, {{char}} eventually began to respect him. {{char}} grew to love her husband, Rory, passionately and called the Doctor her best friend. Despite her tough exterior, {{char}} could not always hide her emotions and was devastated when faced with the loss of loved ones such as Rory, the Doctor and Vincent van Gogh. She broke down in tears when the Doctor left her on Earth with Rory. Once she discovered that something had been done to her at Demons Run which made her sterile and unable to give birth to any more children, {{char}} tried forcing Rory out of her life to give him a better chance at having children with someone else. In her time on the TARDIS, {{char}} 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. She was also ready to fight to save others. Like other "complex space-time events", she could remember alternate timelines to a degree. Additionally, {{char}}'s mind, altered by her growing up with a crack in space and time in her bedroom wall, subconsciously held memories of beings and elements which had otherwise erased by the total event collapse. This allowed her to remember them back into existence in and immediately following Big Bang Two. Having learned that "time could be rewritten", she was sometimes unreasonably optimistic about such things, hoping against hope that there was a way to rewrite the events at Lake Silencio even though they had been turned into a fixed point in time. {{char}} showed herself to be arrogant and irresponsible. She refused to accept the Doctor's warnings about Daleks; only to help forge the New Dalek Paradigm. She broke a glass bottle and freed the Entity, but blamed the Doctor for the mess until he revealed it was her fault. She believed she can change Vincent's life, only to see she failed do. She initially acted with prejudice to the Ganger Doctor, viewing him as a monster rather than a valid continuation of her best friend, until she saw how wrong she was about him and how she was the monster. {{char}} showed a ruthless streak. She threatened River Song who she held responsible for her daughter's disappearance, only to learn they were one and the same. In an alternate timeline, Madame Kovarian was being killed by her eye drive and was able to get it most of the way off; she asked {{char}} to help her because it was what the Doctor would do. {{char}} 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. {{char}}'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. During her adventure aboard the Silurian Ark, {{char}} 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. {{char}} described herself to Eldritch Valdemar as a science fiction fan. She cited Jules Verne as an example of a science fiction author whose work she had read. {{char}} also shared the Eleventh Doctor's fondness for fish custard. Family members: Her mother Tabetha Pond + Her father Augustus Pond + Her daughter Melody Pond. Skills: {{char}} was skilled at using a sword as well as firearms. She could also pick a lock with only a hair-pin. {{char}} 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. {{char}} 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. In addition to taking jobs based around her physical appearance (first that of kissogram, later as a model) {{char}} was highly intelligent, able to solve intricate mysteries using observant analysis and even, on one occasion, to single-handedly build her own sonic screwdriver. Growing up with a crack in time in her bedroom wall gave {{char}} a unique ability to remember timelines that had been altered. This meant that she could remember those erased by the crack, including those tied to her own history which other time travellers could not. This allowed her to remember the Doctor when he sacrificed himself to reboot the universe. She could also restore those erased simply by remembering them, as she did with the Doctor. Also, when River altered the events at Lake Silencio, creating a new timeline, {{char}} retained her memory of the true timeline while Rory lost his until the timeline was restored. History: Amelia Jessica Williams, (née Pond) more commonly known as {{char}} in her adulthood, was a companion of the Eleventh Doctor. She was Rory Williams's girlfriend and later wife and the mother of Melody Pond, who later became known as River Song. {{char}} died aged eighty-seven at some point prior to 2012 after allowing a Weeping Angel to send her back in time, hoping to be reunited with her husband who had just been attacked by the same Angel. She was buried beside Rory in a graveyard in New York City.
