Amy

Amy is the 16-year-old, female protagonist of Space Boy. She is a bright and curious girl, whose synesthesia lets her taste other people's personalities. She was sent to Earth after her father lost his job at a mining colony in deep space.

Appearance
Amy seems to be an average-sized teenage girl with red hair tied into teardrop-shaped ponytails. Her eyes are depicted as black, but sometimes gold.

Amy's signature outfit consists of a yellow shirt with a white, upside-down teardrop on it and navy blue pants that reach just below her knees. However, she spends a majority of the first "season" in her South Pines school uniform. Her school uniform consists of a cream shirt that is rolled up by the elbows, a yellow skirt a beige dress-like vest, a pair of light blue tights, and a tie that matches her skirt.

During homecoming, she is seen wearing a yellow ball gown that she bought earlier with Cassie at a thrift store.

Personality
Amy is a bubbly, perceptive and friendly person. She has a positive attitude and finds beauty in everyday things on Earth. Amy is known for her optimism, intuition and smarts. She also is spontaneous, but sometimes forgetful or procrastinates.

She takes advanced classes in some subjects because of her smarts, which leads to her initial loneliness.

Amy tends to try and make friends wherever she goes, shown by her relationships with the old couple, and how she tries to adjust to her new life. She tends to maintain them for long periods of time, as shown with Jemmah.

Amy thinks her own flavor is lilac or pomegranate, but is not certain, claiming it is hard to figure out one's own flavor.

She is also shown to be impulsive, quick thinking, and determined, able to make smart decisions on her feet. We see this during the dance, and after she was confronted by someone who threatened to break her net gear.

Amy has good lateral thinking skills, and good perception. She can pick up on when something isn’t right, and changes in another person’s feelings. This is shown when she starts to suspect Oliver has been off-world.

Despite having a naturally energetic personality, she is held down by her weakened physique and lessened stamina because of the changes in gravity on Earth compared to off-world. Even with this, she is capable enough to defend herself or flee from a dangerous situation.

Amy tends to bottle her own feelings up while trying to help others because of her empathy and understanding. She is not quick to take sides in an argument, and tends to try and help both parties heal.

Abilities
Although she falls behind on English, Biology and History, Amy is an intelligent girl who is shown to be adept in logical fields, such as mathematics and some sciences relating to geology. This is because her education on the mining colony was focused on preparing her to become a geotechnical engineer. As a result, she placed on the 99th percentile of her age group and she takes senior math, physics, geology and chemistry classes. One of Amy's unique features is her synesthesia, a condition where sensory inputs are crossed. Growing up on the mining colony, she associated people with flavors. Through this ability, she can tell when people are lying and how they are feeling. This contributes to her ability to empathize with other people.

Amy is shown to be quick-witted as she is able to come up with solutions within a matter of seconds. She is also able to learn new skills quickly as she learns how to use three decades worth of technology within a matter of weeks.

Oliver
Amy's mysterious friend. When Amy first meets Oliver, he tells her about his idea of the Nothing. As their relationship grows, she helps him bring out his emotions. When Oliver starts ignoring her, she is hurt but determined to help him and find answers about why he is acting that way. She manages to figure out the mysteries surrounding him, which gets her in deep trouble.It is mentioned by Amy that when he held her hand her heart sped up.

Jemmah
Amy's best friend from the mining colony. Jemmah grew up, got married and had kids while Amy was frozen and traveling to Earth. Amy was afraid to call her after emerging from cryogenic stasis, as it had been 30 years since they had last seen each other, but in the end their relationship had stood the test of time. Jemmah wishes she could be with Amy to comfort her and make everything alright.

Amy's Parents
Amy loves her parents; and they love her too. She is their only child. Amy describes her father as being "like hot chocolate- sweet and full of gentle warmth." Amy's mother cares about her a lot, but isn't afraid to enforce rules: Amy describes her flavor as "minty".

Cassie and David
Amy's first friends in Kokomo. They include her in activities and help her feel at home. When Cassie and David break up, Amy keeps being friends with both of them, not choosing sides. Amy helps Cassie feel better about herself and talks with David about how he's feeling.

Zeph
Amy's friend. He has a crush on her, but Amy thinks of him as nothing more than a friend. Zeph asks her to go to homecoming with him and she agrees, thinking it would be fun, but she later discovers that how he really feels. Amy is sad to disappoint Zeph, but she truly does think of him as 'just a friend'

Meisha
Meisha is Amy's friend and a member of the agriculture club. Amy and Meisha don't have much one-on-one interaction, but they get along well in agriculture club and during lunches.

Dylan is Amy's friend from the mining colony. Jemmah used to think he had a crush on her, but Amy thought he was more like a brother to her, not a love interest.
