History[]
Amy was born and raised by her parents, Hank and Pat MacDougall. She is also known to have a germ-obsessed brother named Peter who never moved out of his parents' house. Her relationship with Peter somewhat mirrors Robert and Ray's relationship, being like Ray, she was favored by her parents.
Personality[]
She is also very sensitive, crying over minor upsets, apologizing when she did nothing wrong, and confessing that she wanted to be close to everybody in the Barone family. Robert would eventually be her first sexual partner, but Robert had forgotten to close the blinds and was watched by Robert's entire apartment building. She was introduced to Robert by Debra, who is her best friend and former co-worker. They had an on again off again relationship throughout the first six seasons for multiple reasons. In season seven, they get engaged and married, despite the MacDougall family and the Barone family constantly fighting. Their marriage has many problems at first, mostly caused by their families frequent intrusiveness, fighting, and even having to move in with Frank and Marie. However, they remain happily married.
