Denise

Denise is the assistant manager of Stuart's comic book store.

After his store becomes very popular, Stuart hires Denise who is very into comics and very perspective. At first, Sheldon doesn't like the change, but starts to like her because of her comic book knowledge and that she figures out his preferences in comic books. After annoying Amy when Sheldon keeps talking about her at dinner, Amy goes down and demands that Denise teach her enough about comics to make it appear that she likes them.

In "The Bow Tie Asymmetry", Stuart asks her to come to Sheldon and Amy's Wedding with him. Denise declines until she learns that Mark Hamill is going to be there. And Stuart has to buy her a dress. She sits besides Stuart and watches as he answers questions about Star Wars better than Star Wars actor Mark Hamill. Denise is amazed by his knowledge and calls him hot.

A new relationship starts between Denise and Stuart in the second episode of season 12.
