Phoebe Buffay-Hannigan

Phoebe Buffay-Hannigan is one of the main characters of the American sitcom Friends. She is played by Lisa Kudrow, who also plays Phoebe's "evil" twin sister Ursula on the show and in Mad About You.

Personality
Phoebe is described as "the crazy one" and has a insane logic about the world around her, such as believing a stray cat to be the reincarnated spirit of her late mother. She's also somewhat childish since she still thinks Santa Claus is real. Phoebe is a vegetarian and naturist and hates everything made out of animal skin like leather. She even tried to customers to buy the brown, almost dead Christmas trees at the mall to save them from being chopped down and broke up with her boyfriend for shooting a bird.

Phoebe has a wild sexual appetite and seems to have a fixation towards old men, such as having dreams about Ross and Monica's father, Jack Geller. In another instance, Phoebe and Rachel were fighting over a guy who lost his phone at Central Perk, but when the real owner is revealed to be an elderly man Phoebe finds him even hotter and goes on a date with him. Phoebe could be bisexual because she zoned out seeing Monica in lingerie, said she would date Rachel when asked which of the girls she would pick, kissed Rachel before saying she "had better", and thought about asking out Ross and Monica's gorgeous cousin, Cassie, simply because she's not her cousin.

History
Phoebe and her twin sister Ursula were concieved in a threesome between Phoebe Abbott, Frank Buffay and Lily Buffay, which gets Phoebe Abbott pregnant. A scared Phoebe Abbott couldn't handle being a mother so she gave Pheobe and Ursula to Frank and Lily, who then named Phoebe after her biological mother.

However, Frank abandons Lily and the twins and later gets remarried and has a son named Frank Jr., whom he also abandons. When Phoebe and Ursula were 14, their stepfather got arrested and Lily committed suicide through drug poisoning, leaving the twins orphaned. Ursula was sent to a daycare center while Phoebe was forced to live on the streets mugging people for living, even having mugged Ross at one point.

Years later, Phoebe somehow ended up living with Monica but moved out in 1993 to live with her grandmother, Frances. She then got a job as a masseuse and started playing quirky guitar songs at Central Park where the gang hangs out. She gets married to Mike Hannigan by the end of the series
