Missy Cooper

Missy Cooper is Sheldon's sister, who is ironically the direct opposite of her brother in many ways (besides being female, she is not above physical confrontation, is very charming and amicable, as well as possessing a very cheeky sense of humor).

Character Info
Missy's main appearance is in "The Porkchop Indeterminacy" (S01E15). When Leonard, Howard, and Raj find out Sheldon has a sister and that she is quite attractive, they fall over each other trying to get her attention. Raj is inspired to begin taking an experimental medication to overcome his pathological shyness.



When Sheldon states that he'll decide who Missy dates (desiring that she reproduce with a smarter version of him, which he dubs "Sheldon 2.0"), she decides to speak with him privately. She tells him that she is fine with him acting like a brother who cares about her, but if he tries to tell her who to sleep with in her bed, they are gonna go "round on round" like they did when they were children. This flies over Sheldon's head and he suggests Missy donate her eggs and cryogenically store them until he finds the right sperm donor to fertilize them before implanting them into her body. By this act, he suggests, "everybody wins". Missy then begins painfully squeezing her brother's testicles until he withdraws the statements.

Missy finds more of an ally with Penny, who has become slightly immune to the quartet's geekiness, as well as helps Missy extricate herself from them and lets Missy hang out in her apartment. Leonard, Howard, and all knock on Penny's door to ask Missy out, but they fail in the end. When Raj goes to ask her out, she says that she was waiting for him to show up and calls him a cutie-pie, but Raj's medication starts wearing off so he is unable to talk to her and leaves looking sad.

Before she leaves, Missy tells Sheldon that she is proud and reveals that she brags to her friends about her brother "the rocket scientist", which sparks him to correct her that he's a theoretical physicist, noting the difference. After she leaves, Sheldon mutters back to his apartment saying that being a rocket scientist is beneath him.

Sheldon mentions her in "The Jiminy Conjecture" (S3E02), saying "I grew up with an older brother and a very contentious twin sister."

Sheldon's family pedigree, depicted briefly in "The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification" (S4E02), shows an older brother as well as his twin sister.

In "The Cooper Extraction" (S07E11), Missy is about to give birth to a baby in Texas. Since her husband is recovering from a terrible motorcycle accident, Sheldon has to go back to look after her. She does not appear on screen in this episode, only a scream as she gives birth is all that is heard from Missy.

In "The Fortification Implementation" (S8E20), Sheldon tells Amy that his brother and sister built forts in the living room and wouldn't let Sheldon in, which he hated so much.

In "The Maternal Combustion" (S8E23), Sheldon tells Leonard's mother Beverly that his brother and sister are mouth breathing idiots.

In "The Matrimonial Momentum" (S9E01), Mary Cooper mentions that since Missy is married and their brother is dating a "whore", she wants Sheldon to keep her grandmother's ring which she gave Sheldon for Amy.

In "The Meemaw Materialization" (S9E14), Sheldon reveals that he got an iPhone for Meemaw Constance as a Christmas present but she is completely unaware of it. He had Missy slip it inside Meemaw's luggage when she flew in from Texas so Sheldon could keep track of her location.

In "The Celebration Experimentation" (S9E17), Sheldon says that Missy and her friends used to torture him on their birthday and on their 6th, tricked him into believing that Batman was coming.
