Melissa Fumero Brooklyn Nine-Nine
She currently plays Amy Santiago on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Amy is a highly ambitious and determined detective who strives for perfection in almost everything she does. She, like Jake, is fiercely competitive and determined to win a bet or competition.
Amy is completely obsessed with anything related to organization or regulations, and one of her favorite pastimes is making binders for any occasion. Others frequently mock her for being a “goody-two shoes” because she has demonstrated an inability to break even the tiniest regulation. Amy has a very high level of respect and regard for superior officers, particularly Captain Holt, because she values rules and authority so greatly. This drives her to be desperate for her captain’s advice and praise, which can come across as awkward, obsessive, and off-putting.
Amy is easily prone to spells of worry and panic when things don’t go as planned. She acquired a smoking habit to cope with her stress, something she is quite ashamed about. Amy’s straightforward and rigid demeanor, combined with being more sensitive than her colleagues, has resulted in her being the target of many jokes, particularly from Gina.
Nonetheless, Amy will continue to hold her friends to the same unrealistic standards she sets for herself, which contributes to her perceived overbearingness. Despite this, Amy is a truly nice and compassionate person who is always concerned for her fellow cops and is willing to assist them with their problems. Though Amy is usually the one who gets pushed around, she is capable of sticking up for herself or her friends when necessary and can become extremely assertive. Despite being regularly mocked, Amy is regarded as one of the most talented and competent detectives in the 99th precinct, and she has demonstrated excellent leadership skills when necessary.
