Parks and Recreation Character Guide
Ann Perkins is a main character in the first six seasons and a guest character in the seventh season in the NBC comedy-drama Parks and Recreation. She is a nurse and best friends with Leslie Knope. She is portrayed by Rashida Jones.
At the start of the series, Ann Perkins was dating Andy Dwyer, whom she met and fell in love with in college. Ann matured faster than Andy did and, while Ann entered into a career in nursing, Andy remained lazy, spoiled and unemployed.
After Andy falls into a large construction pit next to her house and breaks his legs, Ann is inspired to attend Parks and Recreation meetings to advocate that the Sullivan Street Pit be filled in, which leads Ann to befriend Parks Deputy Director Leslie Knope.
Leslie convinces Ann to go out with Chris Traeger so they can talk about the park budget. Ann apologizes to Chris and after another date, they start a relationship with each other. But later, Ann and Chris breaks up.
Leslie appoints Ann as the new Public Relations Director for the Health Department so that they can see each other more often. At first, Ann is lukewarm about the offer, and the best friends have their first fight. Once they get past it, Ann accepts the job part-time so she can remain at her nursing position.
Ann discovers she wants to have a kid of her own. She decides she is tired of waiting for her perfect man and decides to start a family by herself. Ann then begins the process of finding a sperm donor and ultimately asks Chris Traeger to father her child. In "Jerry's Retirement," Chris and Ann get back together as boyfriend and girlfriend.
In Season Six, Ann becomes pregnant with Chris's child and things are going well in their relationship. Ann gets a "gut instinct" and confides in Chris that she wants to leave Pawnee to raise the baby somewhere else. In "Ann and Chris", a going-away party is thrown for them, incorporating all of the main public holidays throughout the year. They bid a tearful farewell to their friends and leave for Michigan.
