April Ludgate
April starts as an intern at the parks department who is somewhat rebellious and is often annoyed by her fellow parks department workers. Her boyfriend, for the first two seasons, was Derek, who is openly gay and simultaneously dates a fellow college student named Ben, who April dislikes.
Although still dating her gay boyfriend, April begins to develop a crush on Andy Dwyer (who works at city hall), the ex-boyfriend of Ann Perkins. Andy is able to make April smile, which is something she rarely does. In order to remain close to Andy, April volunteers to work as Ron's assistant, ending her time as an intern and establishing a full-time position at the Pawnee town hall. April finally breaks up with Derek after he makes fun of Andy and gives her a hard time about spending too much time with him. Toward the end of the season Andy and April's relationship begins to grow to the point that he begins to reciprocate her feelings but their age difference continues to be a wedge between them. They admit their mutual attraction to each other in the season finale, but she tells him she does not want to get involved with him due to what she perceives as his lasting feelings for Ann. She changes her mind after he gets into a car accident and the two kiss for the first time, but she leaves abruptly after he reveals Ann kissed him.
April traveled to Venezuela between seasons but has returned to Pawnee to continue her job at the Parks Dept. and has a new Spanish-speaking Venezuelan boyfriend, Eduardo. April eventually loses interest in and breaks up with Eduardo after he becomes friends with Andy. Andy and April decide to get married in "Fancy Party" after only one month of dating. Andy had proposed to April the day before the party asking, "What if we got married tomorrow?" to which April replied, "Fine." They were married at their dinner party (which was actually a surprise ceremony) in front of their friends and family.
