Bernadette
Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz is known for her high-pitched, friendly tone, yet she harbors a passive-aggressive personality with a short temper. As the financial provider in her marriage, she often unintentionally emasculates her husband, Howard. Bernadette is competitive and can take on a commanding tone, especially when motivated to win. She has a history of being tormented by her younger siblings, which has led to her disinterest in children. Despite this, she often finds herself in a motherly role towards Howard due to his Oedipal condition. Her unpredictable nature can switch from cute and bubbly to commanding and domineering in an instant, especially when desiring affection.
