Character Name: Amelia "Amy" Pond/Williams
Series: Doctor Who
Timeline: 7.02; near the end
Canon Resource Link: Here!
Character History: Amy Pond is a woman of many timelines. The one that shaped her into who she is begins with her losing her parents at a young age and going to live with her aunt in England. While she was getting along, one thing bothered her: the crack in her wall from which she could sometimes hear voices. We're first introduced to her as a young girl praying to Santa to send the police or someone. And who should appear but the Doctor in his blue box.
Thinking her prayers have been answered, she races down to meet the man who would change her life forever. From the word go she's enchanted by him. When he promises to take care of the crack in her wall and eventually offers to show her the universe, she can't help but think he's the most amazing thing ever. Even when he doesn't show up again for another twelve years, she spends her childhood idolizing him.
Her belief isn't shaken for a long while; she goes so far as to continually bite and fight the psychiatrists her aunt sends her to in defense of her raggedy man. But eventually, she grows up a bit. When he shows up next, she doesn't tell him who she is and hits him over the head with a cricket bat. For a little bit, she lets him believe the little girl is gone (and for those moments maybe she is.)
It takes her a bit to warm back up but the Doctor is relentless and eventually wins her over by taking care of the alien threatening her planet. She thinks everything in her life is back to what she always dreamed of, until he leaves again. But, possibly because, he left, she moves on with life again. She goes on living, gets engaged, resigns to normal life. And then he shows up again.
It only takes a moment of resistance before she runs off with him for months of adventure. She helps save a starwhale, experiences Daleks, meets Weeping Angels, and goes on many other travels. She embraces these encounters. But after nearly dying from the Weeping Angels, she confesses to the Doctor that she's running away from her wedding. And tries to buy into the idea that maybe he's interested in her, why else would he take her along?
The Doctor valiantly resists and insists on getting her sorted. He tells her to bring Rory along for a romantic getaway to Venice. It's here that we see she keeps him a bit at arm's length. It's another call to her fear of being abandoned again. And it's in the next episode that she learns how important he is to her. It was easy enough to put him in the back of her mind for the previous months, but truly losing him is a thought she can't live with. She embraces how much she loves him.
However, this is to be short lived. The Silence that has been following her and the Doctor continues to show up. And after a fatal encounter for Rory, a crack in time and space takes him and her memories of him. While he's been erased from her past, she still carries a part of him with her; it's part of being a time traveller: learning to see and remember things differently.
They travel along for a while, the Doctor showing her marvelous things and taking her to meet VIncent Van Gogh. Eventually, they respond to a message from River: he's in danger. It's at the Pandorica that Amy meets Rory and remembers him. And once again their reunion is short lived: he is a plastic automaton that is programmed to kill and he mortally wounds her. Through some tricky time manipulation, the Doctor learns he can reset Amy's timelines: He steps into the crack in her wall and everything is reset: she has parents but has forgotten the Doctor.
Through the story he told her as a child, she's able to remember him and pull him back into her reality. Her and Rory leave with the Doctor on a honeymoon adventure. While on the TARDIS she becomes pregnant with a child that possesses some timelord dna. When the Silence initiative learns of it, they kidnap Amy and replace her with a ganger.
For a while, no one suspects a thing. Life goes on as normal. It's during this time (possibly slightly before, it's unclear when exactly Amy was taken.) that they witness the Doctor's death. It's a horrible secret for her to carry but River warns that they cannot let him know. It constantly haunts her but they continue to travel with him, wondering when it is that he will have to face his future.
Sometime later the Doctor realizes what is going on with Amy: she has been replaced and is in the process of giving birth. Amy's consciousness returns and we find her in a very sterile room. She's given just a few moments with her baby before she's taken away. That experience rips her apart. There is some solace in that her child will one day be River, but she's still devastated to know that she will never watch her baby grow up.
In the next episode, she learns that she did get the chance to see her child grow up, just not in the typical way: her best friend from childhood turned out to be her River. For now, she knows that it isn't the same but it will be enough.
On a trip to a beautiful world, they instead find themselves on a quarrantined planet. Amy gets trapped inside a rapidly moving timestream. We briefly see a future version of her: bitter, lonely, and hardened from spending 36 years on her own and realizing that the Doctor isn't coming back for her this time. Eventually, they are able to bring her younger self back into existance at the expense of her older self.
It's an encounter with their worst fears that the Doctor truly realizes how much danger he is putting Amy and Rory in. He's forced to tell her to give up her complete faith in him and eventually let her go. Amy doesn't agree with it completely, but his choice is made and she knows how difficult it was for her. Still, she doesn't give up waiting. She continues to set places for the Doctor at Christmas and finds herself unable to settle into life.
At one point, her timeline is once again distorted. River now knows the face of the Doctor and finds herself unable to kill him, creating a time paradox. Amy heads a group and eventually is able to get the Doctor in her possession. She refuses to let him meet his fate and steadfastly fights to keep the Silence from winning. It's during this time she actively kills someone. Once the timeline is reset, it never happened, but she still feels the memory of it and the guilt weighs on her conscience.
She later learns that she is now unable to have any more children. Knowing that Rory wants children and unable to deal with the thought that he might leave her because of it, she kicks him out of her life and requests a divorce. While finalizing the papers for that, they are abducted by Daleks. After finally having a discussion about everything, Amy and Rory reconcile happily. The Doctor returns them to their regular lives where Amy once again flounders. She quits job after job and find herself still listening for the TARDIS. They go on adventures occasionally with the Doctor, the time between getting longer and longer.
One day, they'll eventually start to consider giving up their lives of adventure. But Rory's father convinces them that they have a once in a lifetime opportunity. They continue to travel with him until their fateful encounter with the Weeping Angels and Amy makes the final choice between the Doctor and Rory. She says goodbye to her best friend and follows her husband into the past.
Abilities/Special Powers: Amy is human but does have a wide skillset due to her travels with the Doctor. She can pick locks, isn't too bad with a sword, and has learned to look beyond the basic, everyday things. And if she's bored enough she can apparently build a sonic screwdriver. There is some tech savvy displayed in some episodes that is intuitive and learned button pressing and luck.
Otherwise, she's pretty much a normal human who has led a rather interesting life. Aside from having a crack in her wall pouring the universe into her dreams and into her head that give her the ability to remember and hold on to what matters most to her. And in her universe, it allows her to bring those she lost back in other timelines back into her life.
Third-Person Sample: One moment she was about to face some angry dinosaurs and the next she was standing in front of a giant house. She looked around cautiously, waiting for her targets to emerge. She relaxed a little when it seemed evident that she had somehow managed to escape them. She tensed again when she realized this was very different from the ship she had been in moments before. She readied the giant tranquilizer gun she was carrying. Somehow she must have been transported to another location- either via the TARDIS or the ship itself.
After convincing herself that the raprots were indeed gone, she made up her mind to approach the mansion. She wasn't going to be learning anything about this place by just standing there. She set off across the lawn, carrying the stun gun with purpose. Lesson number 306: While traveling with the Doctor, chances were high that you would run into some sort of trouble. She reached for the knob and gently nudged the door open with her foot.
When nothing seemed to rush out to greet her, she called out "Hello?"
There was no reply so she slowly entered. Her gaze swept over the area and took everything in. When she noticed the brochures, she picked one up. "Wonderland?" she asked aloud, her voice full of curiosity, wonder, and a bit of excitement. It wasn't every day she got to travel to places she read about in children's books. Sure she often was able to see history unfolding but Wonderland? How cool was that?
First-Person Sample: [Amy realizes the device is a phone. But, being unable to reach the Doctor, she begins to use it like a communicator.]
Haha, Doctor, very funny. Next time you decide to push me out of the TARDIS or mess with the teleport system a little warning would be nice.
[She pauses and her slightly cross, somewhat teasing tone brightens.]
But am I really in Wonderland? I mean, it looks right but is it actually a place? Are you even listening to this or am I rambling to myself again? [Another pause. Yep. Definitely just her babbling now.] Rory, if you're still with him, you better be coming back right this instant to pick me up. It'll be waiting in the gardens for you both. Just...don't take as long as last time, okay? I'm not sure how much of time and space I can rip apart and put back together.
