What do we know about Ramona from The Big Bang Theory? Character explored in depth 

The hit CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory is a show that is quite famous for frequently featuring guest stars, and among the many that appear, Riki Lindhome is quite notable. Lindhome is known for playing the somewhat popular character Ramona Nowitzki, who graces the comedy series for the first time with her presence in Season 2 Episode 6 titled The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem (where her weird connection with Sheldon catches everyone off-guard).

As we know from The Big Bang Theory, Ramona is one of the bright minds of Caltech, whose field of work coincidentally aligns with that of Sheldon. Moreover, when Sheldon appears to present a talk for graduate students on behalf of the Department of Theoretical Physics, Ramona gets impressed by his (weird yet humorous and a bit mean) speech and later asks him out at the cafeteria to discuss 'neutrinos'. Funny thing is that our Sheldon Cooper hardly has any idea about, as Raj would say, 'what just happened'.

However, Ramona reappears two more times after this: in The Big Bang Theory Seasons 10 and 11. It also becomes quite evident that her romantic attachment to Sheldon has always remained despite Amy being in his life at that point.

Who is Ramona in The Big Bang Theory?

Sheldon Cooper's potential love interest in The Big Bang Theory? No, that's not who Ramona is, but she is a rather encroaching character whose sudden emergence in Sheldon's life makes things difficult for Leonard and the others. Ramona makes her debut appearance in The Big Bang Theory Season 2 and is portrayed as an intelligent scientist cum post-doctoral research scholar.

Having graduated from Caltech, Ramona has mastered the branch of physics that deals with dark matter, string theory, and anything related to Black Holes. She was also a part of major LHC experiments that were conducted at CERN during her early years of research.

In The Big Bang Theory Season 2 Episode 6, Ramona approaches Sheldon (out of the blue) while he was having lunch with his friends and stuns everyone by reiterating the genius work of his. To quote her exact words:

"I especially liked your paper on grand unification using string-network condensates and was wondering how you determined that three-dimensional string nets provided a unified picture of fermions and gauge bosons."

To this, Sheldon replies in awe:

"Amazing. An intelligent Labradoodle."

As the conversation keeps rolling, Ramona eventually asks Sheldon out for some coffee, to which the latter (being his usual self) responds:

"I don't drink coffee."

Amidst all these, Howard keeps trying to impress Ramona but gets ignored - it seems like the bright young mind only has her eyes on Sheldon Cooper. On getting rejected for coffee, she goes ahead and asks to go to dinner.

To this, Sheldon again replies (in his usual aura) and almost blows it off. But luckily Ramona manages to convince him for the date (which Sheldon doesn't realise). As he perceives the whole situation:

"I'm getting free dinner."

Ramona appears as a character who has an unnecessarily intimidating presence and a controlling nature. In her first encounter, she is also not very polite with Penny, Howard, Leonard, and Raj and indirectly asks them to leave, talking in a stern (rude) tone.

She starts controlling Sheldon and convinces him that he should spend more time on his research. Ramona even fixes him a time schedule to work on the latest issue he found and discourages going out with his friends to do stuff he loves to (reading comics at the comic store, playing Star Wars games, and watching his favorite TV shows).

She becomes so obsessed with Sheldon that she even starts living in his apartment. Very soon, Ramona turns out to be the character in The Big Bang Theory whom everyone hates. Her stalker vibe, unhealthy convincing nature, and rude outlook cause a lot of problems for the entire group.

Luckily, Sheldon realizes her manipulative behavior and feels bad about how he is missing out on the good things due to her presence. The moment Sheldon figures out the problem in his research (with which Ramona was seemingly helping him), the latter asks for her mention in the research, thereby naming it The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem. Sheldon, being his usual nerdy self, drives her away on hearing this.
