Mrs. Boonchuy is a supporting character in the 2019 series Amphibia. She is the mother of the protagonist, Anne Boonchuy.
Background[]
Personality[]
Most of Mrs. Boonchuy's personality is only referred to by her daughter, Anne, throughout the series. What is known about her is that she is very strict and is a very disciplined woman. When Anne was an infant, it was heavily implied that she would get aggravated by her daughter's "high-spirited" personality and would look for things for her to do so that she could have some peace and quiet. By the time Anne became a teenager, Mrs. Boonchuy seems to have gotten over her daughter's wild side and was calmer about it. She is very protective of her to the point that she would not let her try genuine Thai food; claiming that her "California stomach" was incapable of handling the rich flavor. It is possible that she is out of touch with modern American culture as Anne had a tendency to mock her strange old-fashioned tastes.
Physical appearance[]
Mrs. Boonchuy resembles an older Anne. Much like her, she is a tall slender woman of Thai descent and bronze skin. When Anne was young, her hair was done in a shoulder length messy style, almost like Anne's hair in the series, but flatter. She at some point grew it out and put her hair up in a ponytail with a knot featuring a small butterfly on it. To indicate her age, she has crow's feet around her eyes.
Her main wardeobe is a purple blue sweater, a pair of light color jeans, and a pair of greenish yellow earrings. At home she walks around barefoot, and while out she wears a pair of pink crocs.
For the most part, she wears her gold wedding ring.
