Rory Williams was Amy Pond's boyfriend and later, husband. He became a companion of the Eleventh Doctor, died and was removed from the universe by being absorbed by the Time Field. After "Big Bang Two" he was restored, married Amy and resumed travel with the Doctor and her. During this time, his child Melody Pond (later River Song) was born. When the Doctor married River, Rory became his father-in-law.

Biography Early life

Rory was a childhood friend of Amelia Pond. Like much of Leadworth, he was privy to her tales of the "raggedy Doctor" and a reluctant participant in dress-up games she based on them.  He was also a friend of Mels, unbeknownst to him their daughter from the future. He played hide and seek with them and would hide for hours when they didn't look for him. Rory was long attracted to Amy. His feelings were returned only after Mels pointed it out. Before this,

Meeting the Doctor 

While working at the hospital in 2008, Rory noticed coma patients roaming about the village. He helped the Eleventh Doctor defeat Prisoner Zero, then watched him warn the Atraxi away from Earth after they threatened to roast it.Rory became engaged to Amy and looked up the latest scientific theories.


Travels with the Doctor 

In 2010, not knowing Amy had left in the TARDIS and spent days away from Leadworth, Rory was surprised as the Doctor unexpectedly appeared in place of a stripper at his stag party. He was disheartened to learn that Amy had tried to kiss the Doctor. The Doctor took the couple on a "romantic break" to Venice in 1580 as a wedding gift. They ran into Saturnyns who planned to flood Venice and repopulate it with their species. Rory defended Amy from Francesco, a Saturnyn who wished to convert her into a "fish from space". The Doctor defeated the Saturnyns and Rory agreed to continue travelling with the Doctor after Amy asked him to.

Rory fights off an Eknodine whilst in a dream state.
Aboard the TARDIS, Rory fell victim to the Psychic Pollen that ensnared them in two shared dreams. Rory escaped after the Doctor figured out what was happening and killed them in both dreams. His and Amy's relationship was cemented by her realisation she really loved him and would not live without him when he died in one of the dreams.Following a failed attempt to visit Rio, in 2020, Rory, Amy, the Doctor and some new friends stopped renegade Silurians who lived beneath Cwmtaff in Wales from killing humanity. Rory was shot and killed by their military leader, Restac, when he shielded the Doctor from a fatal energy beam. He was swallowed by a nearby crack in time and erased from reality



The Alliance scanned the psychic imprint left by Amy and used her dormant memories of Rory to create an Auton duplicate
Rory, back as human, with the Doctor at his wedding.
After his Auton self helped reboot the universe almost wiped out by the Time Field, the real Rory returned and married Amy in June 2010. He remembered having been an Auton after Amy had recalled the Doctor from the other side of the cracks.He compared these memories to a door in his head; he could open it when he wanted, but usually kept it shut.  After the wedding, they returned to Amy's garden, where the TARDIS was parked. They bade farewell to Leadworth to continue journeying with the Doctor. The Doctor would insist on calling him "Rory Pond" In the new version of reality, the first time Amy and Rory were together in the TARDIS was on their honeymoon, despite their memories of earlier adventures with the Doctor 

Honeymoon 

Amy and Rory passed their wedding night on the TARDIS, conceiving their first child. The Doctor left them on a honeymoon planet

Rory with Amy onboard the spaceship for their honeymoon.
The couple continued their holiday in the honeymoon suite of a starship in the 44th century. The ship began to crash onto the planet Ember. The Doctor had less than an hour to convince Kazran Sardick of Sardicktown's to unlock the cloud belt, allowing the ship to safely land. Rory showed Kazran a hologram of the crashing ship. The cloud belt was opened when Abigail Pettigrew's singing calming the ice, and the ship landed.The trio left for another honeymoon location which Rory was sceptical about when told it was a living, carnivorous planet.Rory began helping the Doctor maintain the TARDIS, which annoyed Amy. He made the TARDIS materialise inside itself by dropping a thermocoupling when he inadvertently looked up Amy's skirt. The Doctor dematerialised the TARDIS from the resulting space loop and told Amy to put on some trousers.

America 

After their honeymoon, Rory and Amy returned to Earth.  Amy was replaced with a Ganger.

Rory, covered in markings, looks down upon the dam.
In April 2011, they received a TARDIS-blue letter which led them to America. There they met River Song and the Doctor, who was a Teselecta duplicate. This "Doctor" was shot by a past version of River, faking his death in front of Rory and Amy.After his apparent death, the group spoke briefly to Canton Delaware. Rory, Amy and the older River went to a diner where they met a younger version of the Doctor with his own invitation. During the older Doctor's talk about "space 1969", Amy had seen one of the Silents, aliens who had occupied Earth for centuries.They arrived in the White House in April 1969 where they met Richard Nixon, along with a younger version of Canton. The Doctor, his companions and Canton then went to Florida to try to track the mysterious phone calls Nixon was receiving. Rory and River found a Silent timeship while exploring some tunnels under the warehouse that the phone calls had led them to.
After three months on the run, the Doctor started a revolution against the Silence by using their own powers against them, Rory returned to travelling on the TARDIS with Amy to keep her from telling the Doctor about his impending death. During this time Rory began to question Amy's feelings for him yet again, as she described someone she loved who "fell out of the sky" and changed her life. However, his doubts were put to rest when Amy told him she meant him, not the Doctor.

Further travels

Answering a distress signal from the 17th century, the TARDIS crew ended up on the pirate ship Fancy, where they were accused of being stowaways. Rory was accidentally cut by a cutlass wielded by Amy and targeted by a Siren who had been taking crew members. Though Amy sheilded him from the Siren, Rory was taken after being washed overboard during a storm. The Doctor figured out the "siren" was a virtual doctor from an invisible spaceship in the same space as the Fancy. Rory instructed Amy in CPR and had himself disconnected from the ship's life-support. He was revived shortly after.

Rory is sent a psychic message.
Following a false distress signal from outside the universe, Rory and Amy were trapped in the TARDIS by a malevolent entity known as House, who planned to escape to the main universe in the TARDIS and strand the Doctor with his TARDIS's matrix in a human body. Rory helped the Doctor get back into the TARDIS by lowering the shields. The soul of the TARDIS thought Rory was "pretty" and communicated instructions to him telepathically instead of Amy as the Doctor intended. Rory also heard the TARDIS talking about something he would need to know in the future: "The only water in the forest is the river".

Rory is tricked by Jennifer Lucas's Ganger.
After surviving a solar tsunami in the 22nd century, the TARDIS crew were caught in a clash between human workers and their Ganger clones used for the dangerous parts of the job. Rory sympathised with the Ganger of Jennifer Lucas. She took advantage of him, tricking him into trapping the crew, the Doctor and his wife in a room with an overheating acid vat. Rory learned the truth and returned with the reformed Gangers to free everyone. After escaping the deranged Jennifer Ganger, the crisis was resolved by saving one of the workers and two Gangers from the factory's explosion. Rory was stunned when the Doctor revealed Amy was a Ganger and the real Amy was elsewhere, having been replaced soon after their honeymoon. Rory vowed to find her, just as the Doctor had told Amy before destroying her duplicate.

Fatherhood 

Rory and the Doctor raised an army to rescue Amy and his daughter, Melody Pond, from Madame Kovarian and the Church in the 52nd century. Rory invaded the Twelfth Cyber Legion and asked twice for the whereabouts of his wife, destroying the other ships in the Legion as a "message from the Doctor". Soon after, he arrived on Demon's Run. He kept Kovarian from fleeing with his daughter as the Doctor's army won the fight in four minutes. However, the baby was not Melody, but another a Ganger; Kovarian had escaped with his daughter. River Song appeared and stunned him with the news she was his daughter, using as proof a prayer leaf with her name written in the language of the Gamma Forest, translated by the TARDIS. The Doctor left Rory and Amy to be returned to their home era by River while he looked for the infant Melody.

After waiting "all summer", Amy had Rory make a crop circle saying "Doctor" to catch the Doctor's attention. They found him waiting and were surprised by their childhood friend, Mels. She ordered them at gunpoint to help her escape the police and take her to kill Hitler. The TARDIS landed in Berlin and accidentally crashed into the Teselecta, Rory slugged Hitler and locked him in a closet. Discovering Mels had been shot by Hitler, he also learned she was Melody, who regenerated into River Song.River had poisoned the Doctor. Rory and Amy followed her, only to be sucked into the shape-shifting Teselecta, which took Amy's form. While the Doctor tried to reason with their child, they made the Teselecta's antibodies attack the crew. On the verge of dying again, Rory was saved by his daughter in the TARDIS. Melody gave her remaining regenerations to revive the Doctor. Leaving her in "the best hospital in the universe" to recover from the strain, Rory and Amy rejoined the Doctor while River was left to find her own way.

Further adventures

The TARDIS landed on Earth in 2011 after tracing a distress call from George, a Tenza who lived in a block of flats. Amy and Rory knocked on nearly every door to find him. George used his psychic powers to drop Rory and Amy into the doll house in his closet. Rory believed they had died again, only to find another person, running from the Peg Dolls, who was turned into one. It joined the others to chase Rory and Amy. Rory then saw his wife transformed into a doll. He met up with the Doctor and George's dad, Alex, to hold them off. The dolls were stopped when George overcame his fear and Amy, along with the others, was restored.The Doctor took Rory and Amy to a resort planet, Apalapucia. The planet was quarantined for the Chen-7 virus. Befuddled by the security measures, Amy wound up in a faster timestream. While the Doctor hid in the TARDIS because the virus targeted humanoids with two hearts, Rory went to retrieve her. He met his wife nearly forty years into her future, hiding from the robotic medical staff lest their medicine kill her. He convinced her to rescue her younger self on the condition she also be rescued. The Doctor forced Rory to choose between the past and future Amys at the last moment; the TARDIS could not sustain such a paradox. The older Amy sacrificed herself. Rory was at first angry with the Doctor, fearing he was turning Rory into the Doctor himself, but later agreed the Doctor had done the right thing.

Amy and Rory went to the Liao Dynasty China in the 13th century, where the guards of the Liao Palace attacked them for taking food. After the TARDIS took off, it collided with a Rutan ship. The ship crashed on the future site of the Houses of Parliament, putting the occupants in stasis until 1605, when it sent a distress call. The TARDIS responded to its call and landed in London. Beneath Parliament, Amy and Rory discovered Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby plotting to blow up Parliament and kill King James I. The Rutan Lady Winters was in their ranks. Amy and Rory followed the trail to the Rutan ship and helped find the power rods to let the ship take off. They were also caught in a conflict between Sontarans and Rutans over the Rutans' two doomsday weapons. The Doctor reprogrammed one to target Rutans. Rory handed the Sontaran-targeted weapon to the other party, causing a stalemate, as each race was at risk of destroying themselves

Departure from the Doctor 

Rory ended up in an alien structure modelled on a 1980s hotel with Amy and the Doctor, where a creature fed off the faith of those the prison trapped for it. Rory, who had no strong faith for the creature to feed on, kept Amy safe until the Doctor broke her faith in him and the creature died. Rory and Amy were returned to Earth some time before they had left to find the Doctor had bought them a new home and a red E-Type Jaguar that Rory had longed for. Hoping to thank the Doctor with some champagne, he went inside and was confused when the Doctor was gone when he returned. Amy explained the Doctor was saving them from more dangerous adventures with him.
After time was restored and the Doctor had "died", River dropped by Rory and Amy's house from just after her adventure with Amy in the Byzantium. Rory was pleased by River's visit and confused by his wife's joy until River explained that the Doctor was still alive.
In 2013, the Doctor joined Rory and Amy for Christmas. In 2020, Rory and Amy returned to Cwmtaff to wave to their younger selves.

Alternate timeline 

In a timeline where all time happened at once due to the Doctor not dying, Rory was a captain in a military force led by Amy. They tried to restore the timeline without killing the Doctor. Unlike Amy and River, he had no memory of the correct timeline. He was attracted to Amy, who was looking for him but didn't recognise him. The Doctor tried to get them together, but Rory saw right through it. When the Silents broke free, tormented by his Eye Drive, he stayed to hold them off, though it meant certain death. Amy saved him, then told him they should get a drink and married. When the Doctor married River, Rory consented to the marriage as the bride's father, even though he didn't understand what was going on. Unlike Amy, the Doctor and River, Rory probably had no memory of these events when the timeline was restored.

Personality

Rory was timid in his first meeting with the Doctor. He was hectored by Dr Ramsden and terrified by the chaos surrounding the Doctor and Prisoner Zero. He still had the presence of mind to record evidence his comatose patients were strolling outside the hospital. He also helped Amy clear the hospital of patients before Prisoner Zero could kill them.In Venice, Rory was unnerved when the Doctor and Amy wanted to return to the Saturnyn stronghold, yet he grew in bravery. He challenged Francesco to protect Amy. When he saw Francesco had attacked a girl, his immediate reaction was to see if she was all right. He took a lethal Silurian energy beam meant for the Doctor.Rory was stubbornly devoted to Amy. Perhaps the greatest testament to this was his willingness as an Auton to guard Amy in the Pandorica for almost two thousand years. He would perform great feats of courage out of love for Amy and go to any length when angry. He destroyed all but one of the Twelfth Cyber Legion's ships to find where Amy was held captive and as an Auton, punched the Doctor when he was grieving over shooting Amy Although he remained aghast at the risks he was forced to take, his reflexive behaviour was heroic.

At first, Rory was jealous of Amy's infatuation with the Doctor and uneasy at her obsession with him when she was little.  However, after the Dream Lord's challenge Rory became more comfortable with the Doctor's presence in their lives, trying to have civil conversations with him and helping in TARDIS maintenance. He put up with the occasionally troublesome natures of Amy and the Doctor. Rory was very loyal to the Doctor, whom he trusted with his life. He was devastated when it appeared the Doctor was dead and when Idris' body died; not only were they his friends, he was a nurse and they were his patients. Rory was a quick learner. When confronted with the necessity of riding a motorcycle for the first time to follow River Song, he sourly noted that it was "One of those days" and did so.  He was one of the few people to not freak out on entering the TARDIS for the first time, remarking he had done some reading on the theory. When he was put in to the Teselecta he concluded it was a miniaturisation ray simply because they were smaller and it was a ray.

Other information 

Skills 

Rory was a trained nurse. He knew medical procedures and how to examine bodies.As he had been a Roman Centurion, he was accomplished at fighting with a gladius.  In two millenia guarding the Pandorica, Rory became a very effective warrior. In the attack on Demon's Run, he survived the battle with the Headless monks while two experienced soldiers, Strax and Lorna Bucket, were killed. ). Rory demonstrated a good 'gun arm' on several occasions; he knocked the Doctor, Hitler and the Teselecta to the ground with single blows to their jaws.

Behind the scenes

In a scene deleted from The Hungry Earth, the Doctor admits to Amy that he likes Rory a lot.

Rory's first death is very similar in nature to Jenny's (DW: The Doctor's Daughter). In both cases they died taking a shot intended for the Doctor, and in both cases the shooter was a violent member of a race that the Doctor had helped bring peace to. (Restac and Cobb respectively).

Coincidentally Rory temporarily "dies" in some manner in three consecutive episodes of Series 6 (DW: Day of the Moon, The Curse of the Black Spot, The Doctor's Wife). Totalling up, his temporary deaths come to six. The other three 'deaths' occurred in DW: Amy's Choice, DW: Cold Blood, and the erasure of his Auton duplicate's existence in DW: The Big Bang (In addition, earlier in that episode, Amy mourns him when the museum documentary concludes he died in the Blitz). This means he has died more than any other televised companion.

Incidentally, every time Rory "dies" in a given story, he dies in at least one adjacent story as well.

Additionally, in the story immediately following DW: The Doctor's Wife, Rory is the only character for whom a version doesn't die; at least one version of every other character has an on-screen death, including the Doctor and Amy (DW: The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People).

In The Wedding of River Song, Silents call Rory "The man who dies and dies again." 

The Brilliant Book 2012, a book that contains non-narrative information, offers other pieces of Rory's history, including;

Escaping to the TARDIS, the Doctor decided he and his companions had to become renegades to give the Silents a false sense of security. The plan included Canton and the FBI hunting them down on a nationwide search. He reluctantly sent River and the Ponds on their own nationwide search to find information about the Silents. He gave them Cryostasis podlets for when Canton would pretend to kill them.

When Amy and Rory went to see Romeo and Juliet in 1605, Rory met King James I and upon informing him of their friendship with the Doctor, almost got him and Amy arrested. They escaped to the wine cellar in their hotel. Amy then sent the Doctor a letter, informing him of their situation and that they would be hiding in empty wine barrels.

At their next destination, Amy and Rory had a picnic in the Gardens of Zul-Thep in the year 3104. However, their picnic was interrupted by a swarm of giant, talking, Human-hating bees attracted to Amy's jam. Rory sent a telemessage to the Doctor to pick them up before the giant bees could hurt them.

The Doctor sent the Ponds to meet Wyatt Earp. However, Rory upset Earp, nearly getting shot, in turn upsetting Rory. To make matters worse, aliens appeared and Rory had an accident with a cactus. Amy sent a telegram to the Doctor, asking he pick them up and bring salve for Rory's injury

During their beach holiday on Drago14, the beach was attacked by acid-spitting land squids, damaging Rory's Terry Pratchett book. After the attack, Amy and Rory went to get acid-proof suits and Amy found a brochure for The Thrasymachus in the travel agent shop next to the next to the acid proof shop. Amy had Rory send an Instant Message to the Doctor about the cruise and told Rory to sent the Doctor their love.

Rory travelled to Oklahoma, Texas and California. He started missing his wife by the time he reached his first destination. During his time in Texas, Rory realised the aliens he was searching for resembled The Scream and deduced that they were behind its repeated thefts.

nametag controvercy

Rory's troublesome ID badge.
The question of Rory's "home" time period is one that baffled fans in the aftermath of the broadcast of The Eleventh Hour. This was largely fueled by an image of Rory's Royal Leadworth Hospital identification badge, that was given an extreme closeup in the episode. This closeup plainly shows the badge to have been issued on 30 November 1990, which would seem implausible given the presence of various bits of technology in the episode, such as laptop computers and the 2008 model smart phone. Bebo and Twitter were mentioned; the phone had Facebook. So perplexing was this badge ID that Steven Moffat was specifically asked about it in New York by an American fan on 13 April 2010. His response was recorded and released in the podcast, Meet the Filmmaker:Though it seemed a genuine, spontaneous answer, Moffat had earlier enthusiastically extolled the virtues of lying to the public and press about the content of Doctor Who in a question-and-answer session following the New York theatrical screening of The Eleventh Hour. This led some fans to continue to think of the ID badge as having some hidden plot significance.However, later episodes like The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang proved that Moffat was telling the truth. The graphics on the ID page were simply erroneous.

Amelia "Amy" Jessica Pond was the first companion of the Doctor in his eleventh incarnation. She was the girlfriend and later wife of human nurse Rory Williams and the mother of River Song. When River married the Doctor, Amy became his mother-in-law.

Biography Birth and early life. 

Amelia was born in Scotland in 1989. Her parents, Augustus and Tabetha Pond, were swallowed by the crack in her wall and Amy was raised by her aunt Sharon in the small town of Leadworth. Despite living so long in England, she never lost her Scottish accent.

Meeting the Doctor 

Amy's first meeting with the Eleventh Doctor, at the age of seven.
Amelia met the Eleventh Doctor on Easter in 1996; his TARDIS, damaged by his regeneration, crashed in her garden. He offered to take her with him, but first, to stop the TARDIS engines phasing, had to take a quick trip five minutes into the future.Amy waited for twelve years, unaware that a criminal multi-form called Prisoner Zero was hiding in her house.

Adolescence 

While waiting, Amelia was obsessed with her "Raggedy Doctor". She created dolls, comics and dress-up games about him and made her friends take part. Sharon sent Amy to four psychiatrists to convince her the Doctor wasn't real. She bit them. In secondary school, her best friends were Rory Williams, whom she thought gay because he paid no attention to other girls, and Mels, who was actually their daughter from the 52nd century. Mels made her understand Rory had been paying attention to Amy and she returned his affections.

Second meeting with the Doctor

Amy's first encounter with a hostile alien.
The Doctor returned in 2008 when she was calling herself "Amy" to distance herself from her "fairy tale" name. She was Rory's girlfriend and had a job as a kissogram. At first dubious, she helped the Doctor defeat Prisoner Zero and warn the Atraxi to never return to Earth. While he took two years to take the TARDIS to the moon to break in the new engines, Amy was engaged to be wed to Rory on 26 June 2010. The night before, the Doctor returned to keep his fourteen-year-old promise. She joined him on condition she be returned before morning. She did not mention her wedding.

Travels with the Doctor 

Amy on-board Starship UK.
The Doctor took Amy to Starship UK in the 33rd century. It was secretly piloted by a star whale who was tortured to keep the ship moving. Amy freed it, sure it would steer the ship, as it was kind-hearted Heeding a call for help, they went to war-torn London in 1941 to meet Winston Churchill and inadvertently aid the rebirth of the Daleks. Amy helped deactivate the oblivion continuum inside Bracewell by convincing him he was human.

Amy meets River Song on Alfava Metraxis, having no idea who she is.
They next went to a museum in the 171st century, where they found a Home Box with a message from River Song. They travelled to the 51st century to rescue her. All three went to Alfava Metraxis to help the Church defeat an army of Weeping Angels the crashed Byzantium had awakened. Amy nearly died because of Angel Bob. After this trauma, Amy told the Doctor she was getting married and tried to seduce him. He collected Rory and took them to romantic Venice in 1580 to repair their relationship. Amy was almost converted into a Saturnyn by Rosanna and her son, Francesco. She rescued Rory from Francesco, killing for the first time. 
Amy during a dream status caused by the Dream Lord.
The TARDIS crew was trapped between two worlds by the malevolent Dream Lord. He taunted Amy about her confused relationship with the Doctor and Rory, forcing her to choose between them. When Rory died in one dream, she realised she did not wish to live without him. On finding him alive in reality, she made it clear to him for the first time that his feelings were fully reciprocated. In 2020 Cwmtaff, Wales, Amy witnessed the revival of a city of Silurians. After an aborted attempt to form an alliance between humans and them, during which she spoke for mankind, Rory was killed and erased from reality by another of the cracks in space and time. Amy lost all her memories of him.The Doctor and Amy found the Daleks had destroyed the human race in 1963, using the Eye of Time to alter history. They went through the Eye to Skaro before the Daleks arrived. Amy began disappearing. She used this condition to collect parts for the Doctor to build a vision disruptor and sneaked by the Daleks to place it to blind them as they arrived. The Doctor overloaded the magnetic field generators, making the Daleks lose the Eye and to have never used it to alter history. The Doctor and Amy arrived in GSO Arctic Drilling Station. A nano-virus spread by Cybermats had turned the crew into Cyberslaves to recover Cybermen trapped beneath the ice millennia before. Amy used a reprogrammed distress beacon to disable the Cybermats. The Cyberslaves captured Amy and nearly converted her, but the Doctor rescued her and defeated them. They visited Smyslov 3 for the first time to find their future selves had just visited and caused much damage. Tanik threatened to imprison them, but the TARDIS took off before he could disable the ship.
While looking for parts for a tractor beam to rescue the Doctor from a spacetime riptide, Amy accidentally released the Entity from its container in the TARDIS. The Entity created a lesion in time, sent her a thousand years into the future and began to feed on her timeline. The Doctor sent Amy a Tachyon Feedback Loop to return to him. He captured the Entity and sent it into the riptide to gorge on the four-dimensional Chronomites without harming them. They found a vacation spot, Poseidon 8 in the 23rd century, attacked by a Zaralok, occupied by the Vashta Nerada and its people suffering "sickness". Amy helped the Doctor restore power to the undersea farming facility. She was led to a World War II era warship, the USS Eldridge. It had brought the Zaralok and Vashta Nerada through a dimensional vortex caused by a malfunctioning cloaking device. The Doctor and Amy deactivated the device, returning the Zaralok and Vashta Nerada to their proper timelines.The Doctor, feeling guilty for Rory's loss, took Amy to wonderful places. On one of these trips, they met Vincent van Gogh in 1890 France with whom Amy developed a close bond. She was deeply upset that despite their efforts, he still killed himself. The TARDIS materialised in a park in Colchester and dematerialised, leaving the Doctor stuck in Essex and Amy trapped in the TARDIS. After they were reunited, Amy found her engagement ring in the Doctor's jacket. She could not attach any memories to it, but felt a strange connection.Amy and the Doctor visited Space Florida a week prior to the events of the Doctor's erasure.

Restarting the Universe

Amy met River Song again, caught up in a trap for the Doctor set by an Alliance of the Doctor's enemies at Stonehenge in 102. She was reunited with Rory, who had been recreated as an Auton. Her memories of him returned and he shot her. The Doctor put Amy in the Pandorica. Rory watched over her for two thousand years until she was resurrected in 1996 by her younger self. The TARDIS had exploded and cracked time. To repair the universe, the Doctor sacrificed himself into the cracks. Amy restored the family she had lost, as well as a human Rory. The Doctor was erased from time. Amy was married to Rory. At the reception she caught sight of River Song passing by the window. She found River's diary on the table and remembered details of the Doctor, then recalled him entirely and restored him to reality with her time-altered mind. The Doctor, Rory and she bade goodbye to Leadworth and departed on another adventure: an Egyptian goddess loose on the Orient Express in space. Amy kept her maiden name rather than becoming Amy Williams. The Doctor began calling Rory "Mr. Pond However, the Doctor would finally call Amy "Amy Williams" to shatter her belief in him so that she could leave him without any trouble.

Honeymoon

The Doctor gave the newlyweds a trip to a honeymoon planet -- a planet on a honeymoon with an asteroid -- just before his TARDIS was stolen by the Claw Shansheeth of the 15th Funeral Fleet.  Amy insisted the Doctor carry her mobile phone with him to keep in touch.
Amy and Rory almost crashed on Ember. She took on the role as the Ghost of Christmas Present to help coax Kazran Sardick into allowing the ship she was on to land safely. After Abigail Pettigrew, with the help of the Doctor's broken sonic screwdriver, opened the planet's cloud belt to save the ship, the Doctor suggested a moon made of honey as a destination. He said there were some lovely views, but it was technically alive and slightly carnivorous. 
Near the end of their honeymoon, the TARDIS materialised inside itself after Rory had an accident while helping the Doctor conduct routine maintenance. Amy encountered a future version of herself, with whom she flirted. The Doctor used the resulting space loop to end it.

As a Ganger 

Amy and Rory returned to Earth soon after they had left. A pregnant Amy was kidnapped by Madame Kovarian and the Church. She was replaced by a Ganger duplicate to whom her mind was linked, making it seem she had not been abducted About this time, she received a TARDIS blue

invitation. Rory and she joined the Doctor and River Song for a picnic at Lake Silencio, Utah on 22 April 2011. Someone in an astronaut suit shot the Doctor dead, though he was actually a Teselecta double. Amy didn't see River inside the suit. After burning the "corpse", Amy, Rory and River went to a diner to find a younger Eleventh Doctor also had been invited. Amy persuaded him to find the younger version of the fourth guest in 1969, where they found malevolent aliens, known as the the Silents who had been ruling Earth since the Stone Age. After three months of running, Amy was brought back to the Doctor by Canton. Silents kidnapped Amy and told her she would "bring the silence". After the Doctor started a revolution against them, Amy rejoined him on travels through time and space with Rory in tow. 
Amy holding up a sword in a pirate outfit.
Landing in the 17th century, Amy helped the Doctor stop a Siren abducting the crew of a pirate ship. The Siren was in fact, a virtual doctor from an invisible spaceship in the same space known as the Fancy. Its crew commandeered the ship to see the stars. Amy saved a drowned Rory's life with CPR after he convinced her she could do it. While she slept on the Fancy, Amy awoke to notice the woman again looking through a hatch, this time she was looking directly at her.The Doctor steered the TARDIS into a bubble universe to look for Time Lords who had sent a distress signal. Amy and Rory were trapped inside the TARDIS by House, who planned to use it to escape to find new food. To amuse itself, House used the TARDIS's temporal nature to torment Amy; she was made to believe Rory had died of old age. They were saved by the Doctor, who regained entry to the TARDIS and used its very soul to expel/kill House.
A solar tsunami sent the TARDIS crashlanding in the 22nd century. Amy became involved in a Ganger revolution, helping them achieve equality despite being wary of the Ganger Doctor.

Amy explores the Monastery.
During this time, Amy saw the Eyepatch Lady twice. The Doctor dismissed her as a "time memory." Amy let his impending death slip to the Doctor. After the Ganger Doctor had stopped the revolution, the Doctor promised to find her and destroyed her Ganger body. Amy awoke in her real body on Demon's Run. She was full-term pregnant and the Eye Patch Lady, Madame Kovarian, ordered her to push. Amy entered labour with a horrified scream.
 
Becoming a mother

Amy holds her newborn child at Demon's Run.
Amy named her daughter Melody for her friend, Mels. Melody was taken by Madame Kovarian and replaced by a ganger to help trap the Doctor. The Doctor and Rory came with an army, took Demons Run and rescued Amy. After the Battle of Demons Run, Amy discovered Kovarian's ruse. River appeared and told them she was Melody. The Doctor left in search of the baby, leaving Amy to be returned home by her adult daughter.When a month or two had passed, Amy tired of waiting. She had Rory drive through a field in Leadworth to make a crop circle saying "Doctor". The TARDIS arrived, to be hijacked at gunpoint by Mels, on the run from the police for stealing a car. The TARDIS crashed in Berlin in 1938; shot by Hitler, Mels regenerated into River Song. Controlled by her training, she gave the Doctor a poisoned kiss. Amy convinced her the Doctor was worth saving and saw her daughter sacrifice her remaining regenerations to revive him. They left River in a hospital to find her own path and again rejoined the Doctor.

Nearing the end 

The TARDIS landed on Earth in 2011, following a distress signal from a Tenza named George to a block of flats. Amy and Rory knocked on many doors, but failed to find him. They entered a lift and were dropped into a giant doll's house where George kept everything he feared. The house was inhabited by Peg Dolls. Amy was caught and added to their ranks to chase Rory and other people there. When George overcame his fear, Amy was restored to normal along with the other victims. On the universe's second most popular vacation planet, Apalapucia, Amy accidentally admitted herself into a facility for Chen7, a plague deadly to beings with two hearts like the Doctor. The Handbots running the facility mistook her for a patient and kept almost killing her. She hid and waited for rescue. The Doctor accidentally locked onto her timestream thirty-six years late. Embittered, she refused to help rescue the "young" Amy, but was finally persuaded and reverted the timeline. Amy and Rory went to China in the 13th century. The guards of the Liao Palace attacked them for taking food. After the TARDIS took off, it collided with a Rutan ship, which crashed on the future site of the Houses of Parliament. It put its occupants in stasis until 1605, when it sent a distress call. The TARDIS responded and landed in London. Beneath Parliament, Amy and Rory then discovered Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby plotting with the Rutan Lady Winters to blow up Parliament and kill King James I. Amy and Rory followed the trail to the Rutan ship and helped find the power rods for the ship to take off. They were caught in a conflict between Sontarans and Rutans over the Rutans' two doomsday weapons. The Doctor reprogrammed one of the weapons to target Rutans, resulting in a stalemate.

Departure from the Doctor 

In a prison for a Minotaur, where everyone had a room holding their nightmare, Amy found hers: her younger self, waiting for the Doctor. To defeat the Minotaur, the Doctor destroyed Amy's faith in him. After this, he returned Amy and Rory to a new house, some time before they had left, leaving them behind to save them from further risks. Amy was upset, but accepted it. She asked the Doctor to tell River to visit them if he saw her.Amy became a model and was involved in a campaign for Petrichor, a perfume whose name and campaign evoked an adventure with the Doctor. By the time the Doctor and Craig Owens defeated a Cyberman invasion, Amy was famous enough to be seen signing autographs.


 After an alternate timeline was reverted, Amy sat in her garden, despondent over the Doctor's death and her own cold-blooded murder of Kovarian. River, fresh from the crash of the Byzantium, arrived to tell Amy the truth behind her lies, including the Doctor's "death". This lifted Amy's spirits until she realised she had been destined to be her best friend's mother-in law since she was seven.


In 2013, the Doctor reunited with Amy and Rory for Christmas.In 2020, Amy and Rory travelled to Cwmtaff to wave at their younger selves.

Alternative timelines

In one timeline, Amy had been abandoned in the Apalapucia facility for over thirty-six years. She was nearly insane from loneliness. She made a sonic probe to help her fight the Handbots and turned one of them into her pet, naming it Rory. When the Doctor and Rory arrived, she refused to help them rescue her past self, but after a talk with her younger self, agreed to help rescue her if she would be taken too. The Doctor betrayed her; only one Amy could be saved. The older Amy gave her existence so her husband and she could have a life together.In another alternate timeline, the Doctor wasn't killed and a fixed point in time was altered. Amy led a group that included Rory and River. They tried to fix time without killing the Doctor. Eventually the timeline was reverted when the Doctor married River and revealed she would be shooting the Teselecta.

Personality

Amy was adventurous and reckless, with a dry wit and a stubborn streak. She had a difficult childhood and felt abandoned by the Doctor; she was rarely open with her feelings and often mistrustful and wary. She held people she cared for at arm's length, as she did in her early relationship with Rory and the Doctor upon his return.As a child, Amelia was stoic and able to care for herself. She prayed to Santa Claus for help with the crack in her wall and was unsurprised to meet the Doctor. She lusted for the adventure of travel with him. When he did not return, she grew into a cynical and aggressive young woman.Amy was often flippant in the face of danger, but could let out a terrified scream, as in the forest aboard the Byzantium. She traded barbs with Rosanna Calvierri when facing a forcible blood replacement and cracked jokes while confronting apparent doom on the TARDIS. Amy was flirtatious. In Leadworth she worked as a kissogram. She was sexually attracted to the Doctor Vincent van Gogh and the Roman soldiers at Stonehenge. She tried to seduce the Doctor. Rory claimed she only passed her driving test on her first go because of a revealing skirt. She had no problem being naked in front of the Doctor after a mutation into a butterfly-woman was reversed.

Amy was troubled and lonely. She was often left alone by her aunt Sharon, who refused to deal with her fear of the crack in her wall. After meeting the Doctor, she was obsessed with her "Raggedy Doctor" and refused to believe he was imaginary, biting psychiatrists when they tried to convince her otherwise. Mels, a school troublemaker, her close friend and daughter once pointed out she often misbehaved in school. Despite this, she was a protective, maternal figure for Mels, leading her - while regenerating into River Song after being revealed as Melody Pond - to remark "You got to raise me after all." Amy loved her husband, Rory, passionately and called the Doctor her best friend. Her bond with him was almost religious. She felt he could fix anything.  Despite her tough exterior, Amy could not always hide her emotions and was devastated when faced with the loss of loved ones such as Rory, Melody, the Doctor and Vincent van Gogh. She broke down in tears when the Doctor left her on Earth with Rory. In her time on the TARDIS, Amy was heroic, saving the lives of the Doctor, Rory, River and others. She was willing to remain in the clutches of the Silents to let her friends escape  Her mind, altered by her growing up with a crack in space and time in her bedroom wall, restored erased beings to the universe using only her memories. She knew time could be rewritten and hoped there was some way to rewrite it to avoid the Doctor's death. . She could remember alternate timelines. Amy could be cruel; she certainly had a ruthless streak. In an alternate timeline, Madame Kovarian was being killed by her eye drive and had gotten it most of the way off; she asked Amy to help her because it was what the Doctor would do. Amy said "He's not here" and put Kovarian's eye drive back on, killing her for having stolen her baby from her. She was later conflicted about this.

Appearance 

Amy Pond was tall and long-legged, inspiring the Doctor to introduce her to the President of the United States as "Code name 'the Legs'".  She had coppery red hair, freckles and green eyes. She frequently wore short skirts, often with opaque or coloured tights or leggings. She liked to paint her fingernails in different colours, most often red.

Behind the scenes
Amy is the second consecutive main TV companion to have red hair after Donna Noble. This was noted by the BBC when it issued a statement in response to the 'Ginger controversy' that erupted in early January 2010 due to misinterpretation of a statement made by the Eleventh Doctor upon his regeneration.[1]

Amy Pond is the first televised companion whom the Doctor has had significant onscreen experience with as a child, although others have on occasion been portrayed onscreen in their youth.

Amy Pond is the second character with a water-themed name created by show-runner Steven Moffat after River Song. This is not a coincidence; River is Amy's daughter, and "River" was translated from "Pond". Other writers have employed "liquid" names; non-Moffat characters like Ocean Waters, Jackson Lake, and Adelaide Brooke have appeared in the televised Doctor Who universe.

Amy is the second televised companion to have a Scottish accent, and only the third regularly-appearing Scots character in series history, after Jamie McCrimmon and the Brigadier.

After the premiere of The Eleventh Hour, Amy character was criticised as too sexy for a family programme like Doctor Who. Piers Wenger, executive producer for Series 5, said “The whole kissogramme thing played into Steven’s desire for the companion to be feisty and outspoken and a bit of a number. Amy is probably the wildest companion that the Doctor has travelled with, but she isn’t promiscuous. She is really a two-man woman and that will become clear over the course of the episodes."[2]

Amy Pond is the first series-long BBC Wales companion who wouldn't consider London their hometown.

Amy is the second companion in the new series pursued romantically by a real historical figure. She was proposed to by Vincent van Gogh. William Shakespeare made amorous advances to Martha Jones.

Amy has a fondness for Romans - her husband Rory often dresses as one. Karen Gillan, who plays Amy, also played a Roman priestess in the episode The Fires of Pompeii.

Caitlin Blackwood who plays the younger version of Amy is the cousin of Karen Gillan. The two did not meet until the readthrough of DW: The Eleventh Hour.

Caitlin Blackwood has blue eyes while Karen Gillan has green eyes. This doesn't necessarily cause a continuity error as in real life people have been known to have their eye colour change over time.

Amy's last name post-Big Bang has been subject to debate in fan circles as to whether she is now Amy Williams. As indicated in the closing credits of episodes produced in Series 6, she has kept her maiden name. There has been at least one case of an expanded universe production breaking from this: the audiobook NSA: The Eye of the Jungle refers to Amy as Amy Williams.

According to the non-narrative source REF: The Brilliant Book 2012, Amy became a renegade to give the Silents a false sense of security, travelling to North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Idaho to find more about them. It also says that to prepare for when Canton tried to "kill" her, she was given cryostasis podlets to feign death. 

The Brilliant Book 2012 stated that Amy and Rory's other unchronicled honeymoon destinations included meeting William Shakespeare in 1605, having a picnic in the bee-infested Gardens of Zul-Thep in 3104, and encounter with Wyatt Earp and a cactus and an adventure involving acid-spitting land squids on Drago14.

Amy is in rare company as one of the only companions to have been present (to date) in every televised story of a given incarnation of the Doctor, sharing the distinction only with Rose Tyler (with the Ninth Doctor) and Grace Holloway (with the Eighth Doctor).



Donna Temple-Noble

Species: Time Lord, Human
Place of origin: Chiswick, London, England
Appearances: Full list of appearances
Main actor: Catherine Tate
Donna Temple-Noble (née Noble) was a companion to the Tenth Doctor. Despite her ordinary origins, she was described by Rose Tyler and the Tenth Doctor as being the most important woman in all of creation. Donna saved the whole of reality from the Daleks and Davros. To survive the stress caused by her transformation into the "DoctorDonna", her memories of her time with the Doctor were forcibly erased and she was returned to Earth. She later married Shaun Temple.

Biography Early life 

Donna Noble was the only daughter of Geoff and Sylvia Noble and the granddaughter of Wilfred and Eileen Mott. On her first day at school, she was sent home for biting . When she was six, her mother refused to take her on holiday. Undaunted, Donna got on a bus and went on her own to Strathclyde. Her grandfather would later remind her of this incident to buck her up (DW: Partners in Crime). She was a lifelong supporter of West Ham United. Donna's career consisted mainly of temp jobs. She worked in a library for a while and at some point before June 2007 for two years at a double-glazing firm . She missed the Christmas Day Sycorax invasion of Earth due to a hangover and the Cybermen invasion because she was scuba diving in Spain. Consequently, she was unprepared for alien life when she first encountered it. In June 2007, Donna had the choice of being a full-time secretary for Jival Chowdry or a temporary secretary at H.C. Clements, a security firm. Although she considered the former at her mother's insistence, an accident blocked the traffic in the direction of Jival Chowdry, so instead of waiting in a traffic jam, she decided to work for Clements

At Clements, she fell in love with Lance Bennett, whom she pressured into marriage. She planned the wedding unaware that Lance was dosing her coffee with Huon particles by order of the Empress of the Racnoss, whom he secretly served

Meeting the Doctor

Donna's first look at Space
At her wedding on Christmas Eve 2007, while walking down the aisle with her father, Huon particles reacted with her elevated emotional state and teleported Donna into the Doctor's TARDIS. Robot Santas prevented the Doctor returning her in time for her wedding, but he got her there for the reception. When a Robotic Christmas Tree fired explosives at the guests, they investigated H.C, Clements. The trail led to a secret base under the Thames where Lance and the Empress of the Racnoss revealed their plans. Donna helped the Doctor defeat the Empress and pulled him away from the Empress' death, saving his life. She turned down his offer to travel with him. 

Joining the Doctor 

Donna discovers that the Tenth Doctor parked the TARDIS right next to her car 
Donna's eyes were opened to the universe and she could not resume her old life. After the encounter with the Racnoss, Donna's father died. Meanwhile, Donna tried to live without the Doctor, going to Egypt for two weeks for some excitement. When this failed, she began investigating unexplained events, knowing the Doctor always ran into trouble.In 2009, she caught up with him while looking into Adipose Industries. After Donna stopped the birthing process of the Adipose from fatally converting human tissue into Adipose young, Donna witnessed the March of the Adipose and began to travel with the Doctor in the TARDIS. Unlike most companions of the Doctor, she came well prepared for the trip.Just before she left, whilst trying to find a suitable place to leave her car keys, she approached a blonde woman standing at a police line; it was Rose Tyler.

Travels with the Doctor 

After leaving home, Donna and the Doctor went to Pompeii on the day Vesuvius erupted in 79. She tried to convince him to stop the eruption but he called it impossible. She was ultimately responsible for the eruption with the Doctor, and she convinced the Doctor to save one family from the devastation.They next went to the Ood Sphere in 4126, and discovered the Ood's servitude was caused by the Ood's forebrain removed, and the "third element", the controlling Ood Brain being blocked. As they helped free the Ood Brain's field, Donna befriended a few of them. As they parted, Ood Sigma referred to Donna as DoctorDonna, Donna not realising the significance.

The Doctor and Donna were called to Earth by the Doctor's former companion Martha Jones, who now worked for UNIT. She went home to see her family.  Donna was terrified when her grandfather almost died at the hand of the Sontarans' sezerfine gas emitted by ATMOS. While the TARDIS was taken by the Sontarans with Donna still on board, Donna activated the teleporters to allow the Doctor to bring it back to Earth.She agreed with her grandfather that her mother Sylvia shouldn't know about her travels in the TARDIS. The TARDIS was pulled off course with Martha Jones inside to the planet Messaline in 6012. The Doctor had his DNA synthesised and grown into a full-sized clone. Donna dubbed the "daughter" Jenny. She witnessed the end of hostilities between humans and Hath as the Doctor opened the terraforming device the Source inside the Temple. After she was separated by a cave-in, Martha returned home to her fiancé Tom.


 She met Agatha Christie in 1926 and killed a Vespiform by throwing the Firestone into a lake to save Agatha's life. During this adventure, she influenced the creation of Miss Marple and Murder on the Orient Express by mentioning them to Christie years before they were created; although Christie's memories of the incident were wiped, some unconscious memories remained. The TARDIS suddenly shifted course to a planet known as the Library in the 51st century, thanks to a message sent on the psychic paper by River Song, the Doctor's future wife, who was aware of but had never met Donna.  Donna also befriended Miss Evangelista, an expedition member who was killed by the Vashta Nerada. Donna's consciousness was "saved" to the planet-core-sized hard drive by CAL when the Doctor tried to transport her to the TARDIS. Inside the hard drive, Donna disjointedly experienced several years of an idyllic married life and had two children within the space of a few minutes of real time, thanks to the memory alterations of the Doctor Moon. When River sacrificed her life to rescue the "saved" people inside the hard drive, Donna assumed that her husband "Lee McAvoy" was just a part of her simulation like her children were. "Lee" was teleported away before he could reach her. On a visit to the planet Shan Shen, Donna was distracted by a fortune teller while a Time Beetle leapt on her back and changed her history. She had never taken the action which led her to meet the Doctor, creating an alternate world. In the alternate world, Rose gave the alternate Donna a message for the Doctor. In the alternate timeline, Donna died restoring reality. Her "normal timeline" version barely remembered the message from Rose, and Donna gave the Doctor her message: "Bad Wolf


Against the Daleks 

Donna and the Doctor rushed to Earth in 2009, only to find it gone, and then to the Shadow Proclamation for help. They traced the Earth, along with 26 other missing planets, to the Medusa Cascade. As the Doctor reunited with Rose, he was shot by a Dalek and rushed into the TARDIS, along with Rose and Jack.

Donna touches the Doctor's hand
The TARDIS was taken on board the Crucible with its defences taken down. Donna was separated from the Doctor when, for reasons unknown, the TARDIS refused to let her leave when the others surrendered to the Daleks. Regeneration energy stored in the Doctor's hand created a being who looked like the Doctor, but was half human and had aspects of Donna's personality.When Donna tried to use the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor's Z-Neutrino Biological Inversion Catalyser on the Daleks, Davros electrocuted her. The Biological Meta-Crisis was a two way process and Donna herself had also been given "The best part of the Doctor, his mind," rendering her the "DoctorDonna" of the Ood's prophecy, which Davros' attack had awakened.

The DoctorDonna is "born" after touching the Doctor's spare hand.
She used her newfound intellect to deactivate the reality bomb and disable the circuitry on the Daleks' controls. She helped use the Magnetron to bring brought 26 of the planets back to the rightful place in the universe. The Meta-Crisis Doctor, fulfilling one of Dalek Caan's prophecies, destroyed the Daleks. When the Supreme Dalek damaged the Magnetron, Earth was the last one still in the Cascade. Donna helped the Doctor and his companions to "tow" the Earth to its proper place in the galaxy with the TARDIS.
After assisting the Doctor in exiling the Meta-Crisis Doctor to Pete's World and saying farewell to Rose, Donna's mind overloaded, a consequence of the unbearable Time Lord-human meta-crisis. To save her life, the Doctor wiped her memories of all their adventures.

Back to Earth

Donna and Shaun Temple.
The Doctor took Donna home, with strict instructions to her mother and grandfather never to tell her about the Doctor or the TARDIS. The Donna who had saved the universe was dead, fulfilling another of Dalek Caan's prophecies. He left Donna to her "normal" life. Wilfred, her grandfather, promised to keep thinking of the Doctor on her behalf, and never to mention the Doctor to her as that might trigger her memory of events and cause her mind to "burn up", killing her. By Christmas 2009, Donna had gotten her life back on track, becoming engaged to Shaun Temple. She nearly bumped into the Doctor twice. For Christmas, she gave Wilf a book by Joshua Naismith, but did not know exactly why she had got it, saying that she simply felt like he should have it. The Doctor believed that it was her Time Lord subconscious directing Wilf since he was so important.

Donna is chased by the Master Race.
On Christmas Day, the Master turned every human into versions of himself. Donna's half-Time Lord mind meant she was unaffected, but her mother and Shaun were not. The shock of seeing them transformed into duplicates of the Master reawakened some of the memories of her travels with the Doctor, with visions of several aliens she had met appearing in her mind. She called Wilf and was told to run for her life.

The newly married Donna Temple-Noble. 
While Gallifrey appeared in the sky hurtling towards Earth, Shaun shown found her unconscious and brought her home. The Doctor had also implanted a self-defence device that sent her to sleep and saved her from the Master clones. She came to when the TARDIS appeared in the street and complained that she had, yet again, missed something important. Donna's memories of the Doctor apparently never returned. In Spring 2010, Shaun and she were married and left the church with family and friends cheering them on. Donna asked specifically for a photograph for her and her friends, allowing her mother and grandfather Wilfred to speak with the Doctor for one last time. They returned and gave Donna an envelope containing a gift from her deceased father and the Doctor, a lottery ticket. She remembered that the lottery had a triple roll-over prize before stuffing it in her dress. The Doctor still felt guilty over what travelling with him had done to Donna, feeling that he had "screwed up" her life; these feelings persisted into his next incarnation.He would also tell River Song what had happened to Donna, years before her meeting with the Tenth Doctor and Donna. River was so moved by it that even she was shocked when Donna was turned into a node.
 
Alternate timeline 

Donna Noble

Species: Human
Place of origin: Alternate Earth
Appearances: DW: Turn Left
Main actor: Catherine Tate 

In her original timeline, Donna had simply ignored her mother's advice in June 2007 regarding a job for Jival Chowdry and went to work as a temp for H.C. Clements. Because of interference by the Trickster's Brigade however, an alternate timeline was created where Donna chose to work for Chowdry instead. She was promoted to his personal assistant that December, when she saw the Racnoss Webstar attack central London. There, she saw the deceased Tenth Doctor carried away by UNIT troops and a blonde woman, Rose Tyler, arrive, apparently by mistake.Over the next two years Donna met Rose at several alien encounters which the Doctor would have prevented in the "correct" timeline had he not died in 2007.After Mr Chowdry laid off Donna, she won a trip to Firbourne House on on a raffle ticket she found with the office supplies she had taken. While there over Christmas 2008, the Titanic crashed into London, destroying it. Donna's family was relocated to Leeds.Rose knew she need Donna as well as the Doctor to stop the stars from going out throughout the multiverse as timelines had been converging on Donna since her birth. In 2009, Donna agreed to be sent back to June 2007 in a jury-rigged time machine; her task was to prevent her younger self from "turning right" and taking the fatal job with Chowdry. Unable to get there in time, the alternate Donna Noble threw herself in front of a lorry to cause a traffic jam that would physically prevent her younger self from making that decision. Just before her death, Rose appeared to Donna and gave herd a message for the Doctor. When the timeline was restored, Donna Noble retained dreamlike memories of the alternate timeline, including the blonde woman and her message to the Doctor: "Bad Wolf".

Career

Donna worked as a temp secretary in several places, including H.C. Clements and a double glazing firm. She worked for health and safety for a week and kept the ID card. At some point she worked for six months at Hounslow Library, where she learned Dewey Decimal System in two days.

Personality 

Donna's first encounter with the Doctor was bewildering for both: the Doctor was shocked into speechlessness by her sudden appearance in his TARDIS; Donna was furious with him for "kidnapping" her. Though Donna's sharp tongue and hair-trigger temper kept the Doctor at arm's length for most of their first adventure, quieter moments showed a more level-headed and perceptive woman. Although she sometimes appeared unintelligent and persistently referred to herself as 'only a temp', she was actually quite smart: she mastered the Dewey Decimal System in two days of work at a library.When she joined the Doctor in his journeys, her quick and sometimes dry, wit often came out, syncing with his own.  Though most companions were, to some degree, the Doctor's conscience, Donna adopted this role more openly and forcefully than her predecessors. She pleaded with the Doctor to save the inhabitants of Pompeii - if not all of them, then a single family. Donna insisted that the Doctor acknowledge Jenny as his daughter, no matter how she was created or what job she was trained for.

Donna meets Martha.
Donna's fiery temper hid a deep well of compassion. She reached out to Agatha Christie, trying to share her own story of failed marriage.  When the Doctor's companion Martha Jones recalled the Doctor to Earth, she and Donna became fast friends; neither was jealous and both were willing to share experiences. The Doctor found this disconcerting.  Her relationship with Rose Tyler was initially abrasive in the alternate timeline but friendly in the real universe. She also enjoyed an attraction to Captain Jack Harkness, which at one point involved her pushing Sarah Jane Smith out of the way to get a hug from him. Unlike Rose and Martha, Donna was intent on maintaining a platonic relationship with the Doctor, reacting with disgust when she misinterpreted his comment "I just want a mate" (friend) as "I want to mate" (breed) . Both the Doctor and Donna also corrected many people who thought they were married, saying things like "We're so not married. Never". She kissed him, but only as a shock to save him from cyanide poisoning. She was very supportive of the Doctor, at one point forcing him to admit that despite the potential collapse of universes, Rose's return was a good thing.  She also supported the Doctor when the time came to leave the Meta-Crisis Doctor and Rose behind on Pete's World. Just before her memories were wiped, she tearfully echoed Rose's earlier desire to travel with the Doctor "forever".  The Doctor reciprocated Donna's feelings, referring to her as his best friend. The Meta-Crisis Doctor, working from his original template's memories, recognised that Donna's brash attitude arose from her belief that she was unimportant; she was "Shouting at the universe, because she thinks no one is listening." The original Doctor attributed this to her mother never telling Donna she was important to her.

Behind the scenes 

The name Donna Noble was not revealed to the public until promotional material began to circulate for The Runaway Bride. In the closing credits of Doomsday, the character is only identified as "The Bride".

In DW: Let's Kill Hitler, Donna briefly appears (after Rose Tyler and Martha Jones) as a possible voice-print interface for the Doctor in the TARDIS. He rejects them all, claiming they all give him guilt, finally setting on a younger Amelia Pond. This shows the Doctor still feels guilt for what happened to Donna.

A deleted scene from Journey's End included in the Series 4 DVD box set showed Donna, after her mind-wipe, reacting with recognition to the sound of the departing TARDIS, but dismissing it.

Doctor Noble was an alias of the Third Doctor.

If her appearance in DW: Doomsday is counted as the end of Series 2, and her appearance in The Runaway Bride is counted as the beginning of Series 3, she has in fact appeared in three series, four, if one includes the 2009 specials separately from Series 4. This makes her the only companion to appear in all series of the Tenth Doctor.

Donna is the focus of both main trailers released prior to the debut of Series 4. The first trailer also shown in cinemas incorporated dialogue scenes from Partners in Crime featuring Donna talking to her grandfather about the Doctor. The second trailer used a specially shot scene of Donna sitting by a bonfire talking to an unseen individual or the audience about the Doctor "coming back to save us" and "I'll be ready" interspersed with images of Sontarans, Ood and Daleks. There is no scene like this in any of the episodes; the meaning of "he'll come back to save us" is unknown as there is no circumstance within Series 4 in which Donna would be in such a position to make such a remark. Some fans pointed out the trailer's similarity in format to one for a 1990s movie called The Usual Suspects in which a main character is not what he seems; much of the speculation over the true nature of Donna's character, including speculation that she might have been Davros or the Master in disguise, stemmed from this trailer.

Due to timing and her short tenure on the series, Donna appears in only two comic strip stories published in Doctor Who Magazine, and two Doctor Who comics by IDW Publishing.

Russell T Davies has stated that he sees Donna as how the First Doctor companion Barbara Wright would be presented today. (REF: The Writer's Tale)

In the commentary for The End of Time, Russell T Davies stated that Donna's wedding to Shaun Temple takes place in Spring 2010.

As of 2012, Donna was the only season-long companion of the revival not to end up working for some kind of Earth-based anti-alien intelligence force after parting company with the Doctor. (Jack = Torchwood Three, Rose = Parallel Torchwood One, Mickey = Parallel Torchwood One, then later freelance, Martha = UNIT, Torchwood, and later freelance, Amy = unknown force that fought the Silence in River Song's World). On meeting Martha, Donna asking the Doctor if he turned all his companions into soldiers.

In a very crude translation, the name "Donna Temple-Noble" means "Lady Time-Lord" (Donna is Italian for Lady, one meaning of the word Temple finds origin in the Latin Tempus, and Noble means "of noble birth, such as a Lord or a royal.")

 Martha Jones



Martha Jones

Main aliases: Samantha Jones, Greyhound 6, Good Grill
Species: Human
Place of origin: London
First seen in: Smith and Jones
Appearances: Full List of Appearances
Main actor: Freema Agyeman 

Dr. Martha Jones (later Martha Smith-Jones after marrying Mickey Smith) was a British freelance alien hunter. She began her career as a medical student before becoming a companion to the Tenth Doctor and later a medical officer with UNIT. She also worked briefly with Torchwood 3.

Biography: Early life :

Martha Jones was born in 1986 to Francine and Clive Jones. She had an older sister called Tish, a younger brother, Leo, and a niece, Keisha Jones. When she was a child, Leo pushed Martha off the swing and broke her arm. Going in the ambulance and having her arm plastered fascinated her. She decided to be a doctor right then.  Martha's parents divorced when she was young. Her siblings and she grew up with their mother. Martha slept in their home's smallest room. Martha was forced to play peacekeeper in continual family arguments. In 2007, she lost her cousin Adeola Oshodi, who word for Torchwood One in the Battle of Canary Wharf.

With the Tenth Doctor 

First Meeting :

Martha studied medicine and worked as a student doctor under Mr. Stoker at the Royal Hope Hospital in London, England.  In 2008, the hospital was transported to the Moon by the Judoon. Calm while those around her panicked, Martha worked with the Tenth Doctor, posing as a patient named John Smith, to track down the Plasmavore, "Florence Finnegan", for whom the Judoon were searching.
As the oxygen in the hospital ran out, Martha gave her last breaths to resuscitate the clinically-dead Doctor, who had thwarted Florence's plan. The Judoon returned the hospital to Earth. That evening, after another family argument at her brother Leo's party, a recovered Martha was approached by the Doctor, who revealed that he was a Time Lord and invited her to join him on a single trip through time and space in the TARDIS. , though he kept extending this "single trip".

Travels 

Martha in 1599 London.
The Doctor took Martha to 1599. They met William Shakespeare, who flirted with Martha, calling her his "Dark Lady". The three of them used a "spell" to defeat a trio of witch-like Carrionites who were using Shakespeare's play Love's Labour's Won as a spell to bring other Carrionites to Earth. The Carrionites, along with the play, were sealed away.

Martha while kidnapped and taken on the Motorway.
Martha's next trip was to New New York, where they landed in the Undercity. Learning the Doctor had also visited New Earth with Rose, Martha worried she was a "rebound" companion. After the Doctor had opened up the Motorway, Martha witnessed the death of the Face of Boe and heard his final words, "You are not alone". Before they departed New Earth, Martha learned about the Doctor's home planet and the Last Great Time War. The Doctor extended Martha's trip in the TARDIS again, going to 1930 New York City, where they found the population of Hooverville being transformed into pig slaves as part of the Cult of Skaro's plans to build a race of human-Daleks. Martha was forced to kill pig slaves in remorseful self-defence.


 After the Cult of Skaro's defeat, the Doctor returned Martha home twelve hours after she had left. He overheard a TV news story about a man promising to "change what it means to be human", and escorted her to the presentation of Prof. Richard Lazarus' rejuvenation device. Uncovering the disastrous effects of Lazarus' work, the Doctor, Martha and her sister Tish helped to kill the monster Lazarus had become. Afterward, the Doctor offered Martha one more trip, but she refused. She no longer wanted to be just a passenger. The Doctor invited her on board the TARDIS, as a full-time companion. They answered a distress signal in the 42nd century Torajii system: a ship falling towards the sun. The sun was a sentient being possessing the crew members and killing them off, but Martha and the Doctor saved the ship and departed safely. During this adventure, Martha had a brief romance with one of the ship's crew, Riley Vashtee. He wanted her to stay but she chose to remain with the Doctor.



To escape the Family of Blood, who were hunting him, the Doctor used the Chameleon Arch to turn himself into a human being with no memory of the Doctor. He became John Smith, a teacher at an English public school in 1913, where Martha took a job as a maid. Martha watched helplessly as Smith fell in love with a nurse, Joan Redfern, exclaiming he "had to go and fall in love with a human and it wasn't me".When the Family of Blood tracked them down, wreaking havoc on the town and school, Martha convinced John Smith to sacrifice his human life and love by reverting to the Doctor. He defeated the Family of Blood, left a heartbroken Joan and rejoined Martha in the TARDIS. Martha and the Doctor travelled to an old house in Wester Drumlins where Weeping Angels sent them back to 1960s London. The Doctor helped Sally Sparrow recover the TARDIS in the future while Martha took a job in a shop to support them. 

Martha on the run from the Master.
Following a short pit-stop in Cardiff, the TARDIS took Martha and the Doctor to the end of the universe and the planet Malcassairo, where they met Captain Jack Harkness. They also encountered last humans in the universe, being assisted by Professor Yana. Martha noticed he had a watch similar to the Doctor's Chameleon Arch, prompting him to open it. The human Yana was transformed back into the Doctor's Time Lord nemesis, the Master, and escaped in the TARDIS. Martha, Jack, and the Doctor used Jack's Vortex manipulator to travel back to 21st century Earth the day after Harold Saxon was voted Prime Minister. Mr. Saxon was in fact an alias of the Master, who had been living on Earth for months since his departure from Malcassairo. The Master, who had been manipulating Martha's family since she became a full-time companion, had Francine, Clive, and Tish arrested while Leo escaped. As her family, Jack, and the Doctor were all taken prisoner aboard the Valiant, Martha teleported back to Earth with a mission to defeat the Master.
 
The Year That Never Was

Martha knew what she had to do: spread the word of the Doctor. In her travels, she visited the ruins of New York City, fusion camps in China and toxic pits in Europe. She travelled from England to rebel camps in Europe, where she met the Brigadier's son Calvin. She was interned in a concentration camp in Japan. After a year travelling around the world, she met fellow resistance member Tom Milligan. She had spent a year on Earth telling everyone to think of the Doctor at a specific time so the Master could be defeated. This plan worked; the Doctor returned to his original form and the Master was shot by his wife, Lucy Saxon. As a result of the destruction of the Master's paradox machine, only Martha, her family, and the people on board the Valiant retained their memories of that year under the Master. Although the Doctor wanted her to stay with him, she felt her family needed her more. She also needed to get out of what she saw was an unhealthy relationship of her hoping the Doctor would finally notice her. She stayed on Earth to complete her training as a doctor. To keep in touch, she gave the Doctor her superphone saying that she would call him when she needed him.  The Eleventh Doctor later felt guilty about how he had treated her during the time they travelled together.

UNIT career

Work with Torchwood 

Martha inside the Torchwood hub.
Martha was recruited by UNIT. She and Captain Jack believed the Tenth Doctor put in a good word for her. She visited Torchwood Three in Cardiff as a UNIT officer. She became embroiled in their investigation of a medical organisation called the Pharm as an undercover agent. She was discovered and captured, and Mayflies were put into her body. Owen Harper saved her life with an alien surgical device. As Aaron Copley attempted to shoot Martha, Owen saved her by taking the bullet for her. He was killed. Before Copley could shoot Martha, he was shot by Jack.

Martha is captured by the Pharm
Martha witnessed Owen's return as an undead being through the resurrection gauntlet. She gave him a posthumous physical. "Death", a force possessing Harper, made the gauntlet attack Martha and age her into an old woman. After Owen defeated the Death being, she reverted to normal . She mended Harper's injured hand when, in a fit of self-destruction after Jack decided to relieve him of duty at Torchwood, he deliberately wounded it.Once Owen Harper was returned to duty, she left for UNIT, a few days after she had begun working with them. She did not attend Gwen Cooper's wedding because of work,  though she did attend both Owen and Tosh's funerals
Back at UNIT, she got engaged to her boyfriend, Thomas Milligan, though he left Britain for a while to go to Africa.

Reunion with the Doctor 

Martha reuniting with the Doctor
Martha called the Doctor when UNIT were about to attack the ATMOS factory which secretly formed a key part of a Sontaran invasion plan. She was working under the "by-the-book" Colonel Mace, who was in charge of the operation. Not long after UNIT took control of the factory, Martha was kidnapped by two Sontaran-controlled solders and put in a cloning pool to be copied. She was put to sleep but kept alive; her clone needed access to her memories while helping the Sontarans. Martha's clone died soon after the Doctor rescued Martha, but Martha was able to convince the clone to help them. Before the clone died, it said Martha had many things she wanted to do and she should do them. While chatting with the Doctor and Donna after the Sontarans' defeat, Martha turned down the Doctor's offer to travel again with him. As soon as she had made her refusal, an unknown force took control of the TARDIS, and dragged them into the Time Vortex.


Martha walked out of the TARDIS onto the planet Messaline, remarking that even though she didn't want to travel with the Doctor any more, she loved the first step on a new planet. The Doctor was grabbed and his hand put in a machine to form his daughter, Jenny. Soon after, they were attacked by the Hath. Martha was separated from the Doctor and Donna and taken by the Hath. She helped the injured Hath Peck, earning the Hath's trust. They showed her a map of their location.The Doctor was shown a corresponding map, and made new passages and tunnels appear on both maps. The Doctor phoned Martha and told her where they were heading. Martha went onto the planet's surface and took Hath Peck with her. She slipped into a pool of quicksand, but Hath Peck saved her life, sacrificing his own. Martha found the Temple and was reunited with the Doctor, Donna, and Jenny. They discovered what the humans and Hath were fighting over: the Source, a terraforming device which would make the planet's surface habitable.


As the Hath and the humans appeared, the Doctor released the Source. General Cobb was enraged and shot at the Doctor, killing Jenny instead. When the Doctor said that there was a possibility she would come back to life, Martha shook her head and confirmed she was dead. The Doctor returned Martha to Earth. She said a fond farewell to Donna and him, and went off to reunite with her fiancé, Thomas Milligan.

Fighting the Daleks 

Martha moved to New York after promotion to the post of Medical Director on Project Indigo, a teleport device using recovered Sontaran technology. Whilst she was working at UNIT HQ in New York City, Earth was transported to the Medusa Cascade.

General Sanchez gives Martha the Osterhagen key.
When Daleks attacked the base, General Sanchez ordered Martha to use Project Indigo to escape and contact the Doctor. Sanchez also gave her the Osterhagen Key and ordered her to use it should the need arise. Project Indigo, which had never been tested, teleported Martha to her home in London, where she was reunited with her mother. Martha later theorised that her emotions controlled it, sending her home.Harriet Jones had created a low-level signal and contacted Martha, Torchwood and Sarah Jane Smith to assist Earth and defeat the Daleks. Together they contacted the Doctor and summoned him to help them to fight the Daleks. Unsure of whether the Doctor would come, Martha decided to use the Osterhagen Key. Leaving her mother, she teleported to Germany and a secret UNIT base -- one of several Osterhagen Key activation points.Martha and two other UNIT operatives in other locations prepared to activate the Osterhagen Project, but first she contacted the Crucible, warning the Daleks and Davros she would use the key to destroy the Earth rather than let it fall into their hands. They teleoprted her to the Crucible, however. Here, she was joined with the Doctor, Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith, Jackie Tyler, Jack, and Sarah Jane. After the arrival of Donna and the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor, they defeated the Daleks and their plans. Martha and the others assisted the Doctor in piloting the TARDIS, towing Earth back to its solar system.



Martha as a Freelance alien fighter
Return to UNIT and Freelance Work

After the Earth was returned to its proper place, Martha exited the TARDIS with Jack Harkness, who offered her a job with Torchwood. She did not take Jack's offer to work for Torchwood, but stayed with UNIT.She phoned Captain Jack when stationed at the CERN Facility in Switzerland when the Large Hadron Collider was scheduled to be activated. Some of the staff had gone missing, including her old friend Julia Swayles. The Torchwood 3 team went to Switzerland to investigate and found the person who was responsible was Dr. Harrington. By the time the 456 incident began, she was on her honeymoon. She decided to go into "freelance" alien fighting with Mickey Smith, whom she had married. One adventure saw Martha and Mickey battle a Sontaran, Jask. Unknown to them, Jask had them cornered and was about to kill them. The Doctor stepped in and knocked out Jask, saving them as his final gift to them prior to his next regeneration . Martha spotted the Doctor. They called out to him, but he walked away without saying a word. As the TARDIS left, Martha embraced her husband sadly, possibly realising what the Doctor's appearance meant. Martha occasionally went back to UNIT, however, filling in for her friend Malcolm Taylor as London's Scientific Advisor.She called in the Eleventh Doctor to assist the Japanese branch of UNIT with investigating a mysterious beverage. This was Martha's first interaction with the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor.

Donna's World

If Donna Noble had turned right for a job interview instead of turning left, Martha would still have been working in the Royal Hope Hospital at the time that the hospital was moved to the moon by the Judoon. In this timeline, she would have met Sarah Jane and Luke Smith, as well as Maria Jackson and Clyde Langer, as they investigated the hospital. When the oxygen ran out, everyone in the hospital, including Martha, would be left to die of suffocation. She would have given the last oxygen tank to fellow student Oliver Morgenstern before dying, leaving him the only survivor.

Personality 

Martha was a friendly, intelligent, brave and good-spirited woman. When she was a prisoner of the Daleks, one of them confirmed that she possessed high intelligence.  The Doctor was impressed with her theory about having air on the Moon, and he asked her to join him in the hospital balcony to see if they could breathe.  Although the Doctor asked more of her than any other companion (watching after him while he was human, walking the world for a year), she rose to every challenge. Martha quickly developed a crush on the Doctor and always wondered if he even noticed her. Martha was envious of Joan Redfern when the Doctor made himself human and fell in love with her, She said he "had to go and fall in love with a human, and it wasn't me".In The Year That Never Was, Martha admitted that she loved the Doctor, but after the Master's defeat, she decided that holding on to the hope that he would return her feelings was not good for her. She was later engaged to Tom, and for unexplained reasons married Mickey Smith instead.Although she had cause to be jealous of Rose Tyler, Martha seemed genuinely happy for the Doctor when he and Rose were reunited. She got along very well with Donna Noble. After the year that never was, Martha became a close friend of Captain Jack Harkness and although she did not seem to return his overtures, she did not mind when he flirted with her


Other information

The length of time Martha spent travelling with the Doctor during her first adventures in the TARDIS has never been defined, but is known to include approximately three months spent in 1913  a year in an alternate timeline and two months trapped in 1969.

While investigating the Pharm for Torchwood, she posed as an applicant to join a medical study. While doing so, she adopted the name Samantha Jones. Coincidentally, the Eighth Doctor had had a companion named Sam Jones.

There is an account that suggests that the Doctor and she were separated -- for only a few hours from Martha's perspective, but for nearly three years from his.

There is an unconfirmed piece of information that suggests Martha was born in 1984, making her twenty-five in 2009. comic, Martha was fluent in German although she spoke it with a noticeable English accent

Martha was UNIT number 56671.

Martha had a tattoo on her upper right arm; she is one of the only companions known to have such markings besides Mickey Smith  although the third incarnation of the Doctor was also seen to sport a tattoo soon after his regeneration

Martha had a particular fondness for milkshakes and early in her travels with the Doctor she asked him to help her find the ultimate milkshake.

Martha's race only rarely was a factor in her travels. She had some trepidation on landing in Elizabethan England and Shakespeare, who became attracted to her, referred to her as his "Dark Lady" - the mysterious subject (perhaps allegorical) of many of his sonnets . She also endured mistreatment while living as a maid in 1913 England

Behind the scenes

Freema Agyeman was the first black female companion on Doctor Who.

The arm tattoo sported by Martha is Agyeman's own real-life tattoo. Although Agyeman has been described as the first major DoctorWho cast member to be so adorned, in fact Jon Pertwee was seen sporting an arm tattoo and

Martha's last scene in Journey's End was interpreted as opening the door for a possible return to Torchwood. Although there were unconfirmed rumours that Agyeman was seen at a Torchwood filming location, she did not appear in the Children of Earth miniseries; she was referenced in dialogue as being still with UNIT. Her subsequent appearance at the end of DW: The End of Time again fueled speculation of a possible future Torchwood appearance, which did not come about in the revived Torchwood.

Interestingly, the name 'Martha Jones', is an anagram of 'A Master John'. The part saying 'Master', is possibly referencing the Master, that appeared in the finale of Series Three . And the part 'John', is coincidentally the name of the actor (John Simm) who plays the Master in the Series Three Finale.

Russell T Davies originally intended for Martha to appear in both the Torchwood: Children of Earth miniseries and Enemy of the Bane, the series 2 finale of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Freema Agyeman's casting in the ITV series Law & Order: UK resulted initially in her Torchwood appearance being reduced to a cameo, and then eliminated completely (along with an appearance by Mickey Smith). Later, her schedule also precluded Agyeman from appearing in Sarah Jane, resulting in Nicholas Courtney returning as The Brigadier instead. (REF: Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale - The Final Chapter) Had she appeared in these two productions, she would have been the first major character to play an important role in Doctor Who and both of its direct spin-offs (even including the Doctor, who to date has not appeared in Torchwood).

Martha seems to be a popular character for writers to have impersonated by someone else. Aside from the TV story DW: The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky, in which a clone was created, IDW: The Forgotten, a comic story arc, and two instalments of the BBC Writers' Comics online series all featured plotlines involving fake Marthas.

Martha is the only regular companion in the revived series not to be in a Christmas Special.

The commentary for DW: The End of Time revealed that her honeymoon mentioned in TW: Children of Earth: Day One referred to her marriage with Mickey Smith, although this was never referenced on-screen.

"Martha's Theme" is included in the Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack: Series 3. Her name appears in three other tracks on the disc, "Only Martha Knows", "Martha's Quest" and "Martha Triumphant".

Main aliases: The Bad Wolf, Dame Rose of the Powell Estate
Species: Human
Place of origin: London
First seen in: Rose
Appearances: Full List of Appearances
Main actor: Billie Piper
Other TV actors: Julia Joyce
Rose Marion Tyler was the first known companion of the ninth incarnation of the Doctor and the first companion of the tenth incarnation. She was sealed off in a parallel world, before returning to her own, only to ultimately be returned to the parallel world by the Doctor, along with another version of himself. She shared a close, romantic relationship with both the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, eventually living in the parallel universe with the duplicate Tenth Doctor.

Biography

Early life 


Rose Marion Tyler was born to Jackie and Pete Tyler on 27 April 1987.

She attended Jericho Street Junior School and Jericho Street Comprehensive, where she joined the gymnastics team, and won a bronze medal in competition. She performed decently in her GCSEs (one A, two Bs, four Cs and a D in science) and planned to do A-Levels (in English, French and Art). However, she left school to pursue a romantic relationship with local Jimmy Stone, which ended badly.  Several times in her childhood, she was visited and watched over by her future friend, Captain Jack Harkness, who had been temporally displaced by a fault on his vortex manipulator. Jack did not say hello to avoid damaging the timeline. When Rose was in her late teens, she and her mother, Jackie, were living in the Powell Estate (Flat 48, Bucknall House, Powell Estate, London, SE15 7G0) in South London. Rose worked as a shop assistant at Henrik's Department Store in London's Regent Street, while Jackie worked from home as a hairdresser. Before she met the Doctor, Rose's only travelling experience was a school trip to France and an annual week's holiday to South Wales with her mother. She entered into a relationship with Mickey Smith some time before 2005.

With the Doctor 

First meeting 



Her first encounter with the mysterious time-traveller known as the Doctor happened just after midnight on 1 January, 2005. Whilst walking home with her mother, Rose stumbled into the Tenth Doctor who was dying from radiation poisoning. Mistaking him for a drunk, she asked if he was all right, and told him the date when he asked. The Doctor told her that 2005 was going to be a good year for her. Smiling, Rose continued home.

Joining the Doctor 


Rose met the Doctor again later on 4 March 2005, early in his ninth incarnation, when he saved her from an attack of Autons in Henrik's. After she returned home, she searched on the Internet for information about this strange man and found Clive Finch, who had been keeping track of the Doctor's appearances on Earth. Rose helped the Doctor track down the Nestene Consciousness animating the Autons and, when he was being held by two of the Autons, used her gymnastic skill to set him free. The Earth saved, the Doctor invited Rose to travel with him. Initially, she refused, and the Doctor left, only to return a few moments later to mention the TARDIS had the ability to travel through time. Given this second chance, Rose joined him in the TARDIS, giving her boyfriend a kiss and leaving him and her mother behind on Earth.  The Doctor modified her mobile phone to be able to communicate across time and space, among other functions.

Travels with the Ninth Doctor 



In her first trip with the Doctor, Rose witnessed the final destruction of Earth.  Later she encountered a Dalek for the first time. (DW: Dalek) During that adventure Rose met Adam Mitchell, a young genius she found attractive and who travelled with the Doctor. However, as a result of his behavior, she soon lost interest in him.  The Doctor also took Rose to 1987 to witness the last minutes of her father's life. This had drastic consequences. Rose prevented his death, altered history and unleashed Reapers. She also met herself as an infant, as well as a very young Mickey Smith. In World War II London, the Doctor and Rose met Captain Jack Harkness, a former Time Agent from the 51st century, to whom she was also attracted. The Doctor and Rose took him along in the TARDIS.
Bad Wolf


From the moment Rose stepped foot in the TARDIS, the phrase "Bad Wolf" followed the Doctor and Rose around through space and time. Following his discovery of a complex plan by the Daleks to invade Earth in the year 200,100, the Doctor, believing he might die soon, sent Rose out of harm's way to her home place and time.

Seeing the words Bad Wolf as graffiti around her housing complex served as a message to Rose; she herself was crucial to the event and must return to the Doctor. Rose broke into the TARDIS and looked into its heart which enabled her to transcend into the Bad Wolf. As this goddess-like figure, she vaporised the Dalek fleet and brought Captain Jack back to life (unknowingly making him immortal), after paradoxically spreading the words 'Bad Wolf' through space and time to create the message. However, in becoming the Bad Wolf, Rose had absorbed the Time Vortex into herself, which would destroy her body, cell by cell. The Doctor took those energies into himself by kissing her, sacrificing his ninth incarnation and regenerating before Rose's eyes into a new form.

Travels with the Tenth Doctor 


The newly regenerated Doctor managed to steer the TARDIS back to the Powell Estate on Christmas Eve 2006, before collapsing from post-regenerative trauma. Rose was distressed that the Doctor had changed in appearance and personality and had apparently left Rose, Mickey and Jackie to face the Sycorax invasion alone. When the TARDIS was taken aboard the Sycorax spaceship, Rose attempted to negotiate with them, but the Sycorax leader just laughed.The Doctor later revived and defeated the Sycorax. He celebrated Christmas with Rose's family. The Doctor took Rose to New New York on New Earth in the year 5,000,000,023, where she was unwillingly showered in disinfectant while taking a lift up through the hospital. Lady Cassandra took control of the lift and used a psychograft to implant her consciousness onto Rose's own, gaining full control over her body, but eventually went into the dying body of Chip once she helped the Doctor cure the infected new humans

The Doctor and Rose, dressed for 1979 Sheffield, landed in 1879 Scotland. The Doctor became a protectorate for Queen Victoria, who was targeted by the Brethren. They stayed at Torchwood House, where the Brethren wanted to place the bite of the Lupine Wavelength Haemovariform into Queen Victoria to put the wolf on the British throne. Rose and several of the house's staff were taken to be fed to this werewolf, but Rose co-ordinated their escape. After the Doctor used the Koh-i-Noor and the house's light chamber to destroy the wolf with moonlight, the Doctor and Rose were knighted (with Rose dubbed Dame Rose of the Powell Estate), but immediately banished as a threat to the British Empire.This incident prompted Queen Victoria to found the Torchwood Institute to address future alien threats — including the Doctor. In 2007, Mickey brought the Doctor and Rose to Deffry Vale High School, which had had suspiciously high exam results and UFO sightings. Rose went undercover as a dinner lady. She had been eating the school's chips that were coated in an intelligence-increasing oil. She discovered one of the dinner ladies had been burned by these chips.While investigating the school, Rose met a previous companion of the Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, an awkward situation Mickey described as "the missus and the ex". Both women felt jealousy and tension, which they subsequently resolved. Rose became worried the Doctor would one day abandon her, but the Doctor promised her — "Not to you". The Doctor repaired K9 Mark III, who identified the oil as Krillitane oil and the school's new staff as Krillitanes. The Krillitanes were using the children's minds to construct the Skasis Paradigm, a computation that could rebuild the fabric of the universe. K9 destroyed the Krillitanes by blowing up the lethal oil barrels. Mickey joined the TARDIS, to Rose's disapproval.

On the SS Madame de Pompadour in the 51st century, the Doctor, Rose and Mickey travelled into a time window to 1744 France. She discovered the ship's repair droids had been using the ship's crew as components to repair the ship. Their final "part" was the brain of Reinette Poisson, who wasn't yet "complete". When the droids found the Reinette at the correct part of her life, Rose travelled through a time window into 1753 to warn her of an oncoming attack some time after her 37th birthday in 1758, explaining to Reinette that this wasn't how history was supposed to happen.Rose showed signs of jealousy when the Doctor was attracted to Reinette. The Doctor exploited this jealousy to save her life when her mind was invaded by a creature called the Iagnon.  Around this time, Rose died in the 31st century during an incident with a time loop, but was immediately resurrected when the time loop reset itself. On a parallel version of Earth later called "Pete's World" after Pete Tyler, Rose met a version of her father, this Earth's "namesake". He had not died, but had become a successful businessman. In this parallel universe, Pete and Jackie Tyler never had a daughter named Rose. They did, however, have a dog with the same name.Mickey left the TARDIS to live a new life on Pete's World fighting the Cybermen there and caring for his grandmother, who had died in his home universe from a fall.

Rose becomes a victim of the Wire.
After returning to Rose's home universe, the Doctor and Rose arrived in Muswell Hill, London, on the eve of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. There, the duo faced an enemy known as the Wire which planned to steal faces from everyone in London via television sets, to gain energy to feed and survive. During this time Rose became a victim of the Wire and lost her face. The Doctor was able to save her by transferring the Wire into a betamax cassette tape.

There was a difficult discussion about settling down after seemingly losing the TARDIS (. After they got back the TARDIS, Rose and the Doctor defeated the Hoix, then watched as LINDA defeated the Abzorbaloff when he tried to absorb the Doctor. They next travelled to attend the 2012 Olympic Games, where the Doctor seemed pleased when Rose asked for him to hold her hand. Meanwhile they investigated the disappearances of children taken by the Isolus. The Doctor himself was taken but freed when Rose recharged the Isolus pod.


During the battle of Canary Wharf in the Torchwood Institute, Rose refused to leave the Doctor to face the threat on his own. She nearly sacrificed herself to make sure that every Dalek and Cyberman were sucked into the Void. Due to a timely rescue by Pete Tyler from Pete's World, Rose was alive, but was separated from the Doctor, seemingly forever. After the Doctor 

Rose lived with Pete Tyler, Jackie, and Mickey in their home on Pete's World. She received a dream-like contact from the Doctor, which guided her to Dårlig Ulv Stranden (Bad Wolf Bay) beach in Norway. The Doctor sent his last farewells through the closing gaps between the worlds, burning up a star to send the signal through. He informed her that on her Earth, Rose was officially dead. Rose informed the Doctor that she now worked for Torchwood in this alternative world, and that Jackie was again pregnant. Rose finally broke down and confessed her love for the Doctor, but the Doctor did not have a chance to reciprocate his feelings as he was cut off abruptly. Some time later, Jackie gave birth to Rose's baby brother, Tony. Crossing the timelines 
As Davros' reality bomb weakened the barriers between universes, Rose used a dimension cannon to find either the Doctor or Donna Noble and warn them about the oncoming darkness.

Rose, after her meeting with Donna Noble.
In 2009, after preventing a million Londoners from being forcibly converted into Adipose, Donna asked Rose to tell Donna's mother Sylvia that Donna left her car keys in "that bin there". Rose walked off, fading away. When the Doctor and Donna were conversing with two psychics in 79 AD Pompeii, one of them noted that "She is returning," a foreshadowing of Rose's return. When Donna Noble was in the TARDIS during the Sontaran Invasion, Rose's face popped up on the screen for a moment, silently calling for the Doctor.

On the planet Midnight, Rose appeared on a screen in the Crusader 50 shuttlebus, silently shouting, "Doctor!" It was not clear if anyone on the bus noticed. When Donna Noble had an alternate timeline created around her, Rose met her several times. She said she could travel between worlds and alternate timelines, and had done so many times, searching for the Doctor. She appeared several times in this timeline, including on Christmas Eve 2007, when the Doctor, lacking Donna to pull him back, was killed defeating the Racnoss.


In 2008, the night Donna was sacked by Jival Chowdry, she told Donna to use her raffle ticket to stay out of London that Christmas, which was when London was scheduled for attack by the Titanic. Donna and Rose also met the evening the Sontaran attack of the Earth with ATMOS was thwarted by Torchwood Three at the cost of their lives. Three weeks later as the stars started to disappear, Donna followed Rose, who revealed the Time Beetle on Donna's back and explained what she must do to restore the original timeline.
Obeying Rose's instructions, Donna was sent back to force her past self to turn left, not right on that fateful day in June 2007, so that she would work at H.C. Clements and meet the Doctor six months later. When Donna did so, at the cost of her life in that timeline, Rose held her as she died and whispered a message for the Doctor: Bad Wolf.
 
Defending the Earth 

In 2009, Rose teleported to her native world, finding it being invaded by Daleks and transported across the universe. She found Sylvia and Donna's grandfather Wilf, hoping they knew where the Doctor and Donna were. Harriet Jones appeared on Wilf's computer. Rose assumed Harriet was trying to contact her, but when she tried to reply, found it impossible as there was no camera or microphone on the computer; Harriet spoke to Sarah Jane, Jack and Martha Jones. Rose watched on as they brought the Doctor to Earth, then used her transmat device to lock onto the TARDIS and teleport to him.She arrived in a deserted street with the Doctor and Donna at the other end. The Doctor and Rose ran towards each other, but a Dalek fired upon the Doctor, mortally wounding him. With Donna and Jack's help, she got him in to the TARDIS where he began to regenerate.The Doctor managed to retain his tenth form by pouring the regeneration energy into his severed hand. This, with the help of Donna, eventually created a new, part-human Doctor.

After Donna and the newly-created Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor defeated the New Dalek Empire, the Doctor returned her to the parallel Earth along with her mother but this time without Mickey, who decided to return home.The original Doctor exiled the new Doctor on the parallel Earth; he was bred in battle, killing all the Daleks, and too dangerous to leave on his own. He told Rose she was the only one who could make him a better man, as she had before with him. Rose was reluctant to stay back but the original Doctor said that the new Doctor had all his memories and thoughts, and was "him," albeit part human. The part-human Doctor had only one heart, would age, and would never regenerate. He told her he could spend his life with her, if she wanted him to, and they could grow old together. Rose asked both Doctors what the last thing they would have said to her would have been when she was first trapped on the parallel Earth. The original Doctor asked, "Does it need saying?", but the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor whispered something to her. Hearing the words, Rose flung herself on the Meta-Crisis Doctor and the original Doctor left with Donna. The Doctor remembered Rose and felt guilty about what he had done to her, well into his eleventh incarnation.

Personality 

Rose was a sweet, gentle and sympathetic young woman. She was quick to adapt to strange events. She had her mother's acerbic wit and was not hesitant to use it. She fell easily into the role of the Doctor's latest companion and was brave facing various alien threats.  She cared deeply about the Doctor, although she originally denied any sexual or romantic feelings towards him despite indications to the contrary. In what seemed their final meeting on the beach, she told the Doctor that she loved him; he began to reply, but only got out the words "Rose Tyler" before he was cut off. She was easily willing to kill the Doctor's enemies Rose was willing to call the Doctor out when he was wrong. When the Doctor brushed aside the danger that Jackie was in when faced with a Slitheen, Rose reminded him the woman he was discussing was her mother. She was horrified the Doctor would allow the Gelth to use human corpses as a vessel for their consciousness. The Doctor's failure to listen to Rose's human plea of respect for their dead led to at least two deaths when the Gelth proved to be malicious.

Rose had a jealous streak when it came to the Doctor. She and the Doctor's former companion, Sarah Jane Smith, traded barbs over who was the "best companion" but they became good friends afterwards, and happily greeted each other at their reunion on the Crucible. Rose was willing to sacrifice herself for the Doctor or the common good. When faced with the choice of dying or saving the world, Rose instructed the Doctor to do what he had to do to save everyone else. This was a common theme in Rose's story; despite the risk of plunging into the Void and an eternity of nothingness, she let go of a magnetic hold to set a lever right and seal the Cybermen and Daleks away from her world. It was only the sudden appearance of her father from the parallel world that saved her from that fate, but ultimately led to her separation from the Doctor.

Behind the scenes
  • The title of the first episode of Series 1, Rose, is a references to the character's name and she is the first character to appear in that episode. Therefore, she is also simultaneously the first character to appear in Series 1 and the first to be seen in a Doctor Who television episode for nine years (the interval between the 1996 Doctor Who television movie and Rose).
  • After Rose was written out of Doctor Who at the end of Series 2, Russell T Davies considered giving the character her own 90-minute spin-off production, Rose Tyler: Earth Defence, with the possibility of such a special becoming an annual Bank Holiday event. Although the special was officially commissioned, Davies changed his mind and decided that such a return, wherein the audience would be able to see Rose when the Doctor could not, would spoil her final scenes in Doctor Who. The production was consequently cancelled.
  • Sam Tyler, the lead character in the BBC's other time-travel drama, Life on Mars, was named after Rose. Reportedly, the lead character's surname was suggested by the young daughter of Life of Mars co-creator, Matthew Graham, after her father had asked her to choose the character's surname. She ultimately decided upon "Tyler" because of Rose, a fact only later discovered by her father, who eventually wrote the Doctor Who episode Fear Her. Sam Tyler is played by John Simm, who is also the sixth onscreen incarnation of the Master. Ironically, the Master and Rose never actually met. In the US production of Life on Mars, Sam Tyler's mother is named Rose.
  • News of Rose's return to the series leaked out during early production of the fourth series when photographs of her on set appeared on websites and in the press. After initial denials by the BBC, promotion for the season incorporated images of Rose Tyler. In an interview with Doctor Who Confidential aired in conjunction with Turn Left, Billie Piper revealed that the decision to bring Rose back had in fact been made when she left the series in 2006, and she had to mislead journalists and fans for the next year to keep Rose's return a surprise. Rose's first appearance in Series 4 is a surprise cameo at the end of Partners in Crime, a scene shot during production of Turn Left and veiled in such secrecy that advance review copies of the episode had the scene edited out and, unlike many other aspects of the series (such as Rose's ultimate return), was broadcast without having been the subject of Internet spoilers. In a later interview with Doctor Who Magazine, Davies indicated the original plan was for Rose to not appear again until Turn Left, but on learning how well the cameo went over with viewers, at the last minute he inserted brief, silent images of Rose into The Poison Sky and Midnight; the scene was filmed for Midnight and was scripted. Davies added it to The Poison Sky before it was broadcast. As with Partners in Crime, the Poison Sky cameo was not included in review copies. Billie Piper receives screen credit for her appearances in Poison Sky and Midnight.
  • Rose is in rare company as one of the only companions to have been present in every televised story of a given incarnation of the Doctor, to date sharing the distinction only with Grace Holloway (with the Eighth Doctor) and Amy Pond (with the Eleventh Doctor).
Age 

The Doctor twice states onscreen that Rose is nineteen years old. ). It is later established she left with the Doctor on 6 March 2005 If the Doctor was speaking with precision, she must have been born in 1985 or prior to 4 March 1986, though he might not have known her real age or was fibbing.However, a Doctor Who Annual 2006 article states that Rose was born on 27 April 1987. Although this contradicts the age stated on screen (she would have been seventeen when she met the Doctor), it is consistent with the appearance of the baby Rose in Father's Day, set in November 1987, where the baby is no more than a few months old.The 27 April birth date is also possibly inconsistent with an obscure statement once made on the BBC's website. In the lead-up to the broadcast of the episode, DW: Bad Wolf, the website was altered to tie in with the story's Big Brother theme. In this week-long iteration of the site, a "contestant portrait" for Rose stated that she was an Aries. According to one astrological system, this would mean she was, contrary to the annual, born between 21 March and 19 April. According to another, of which Rose could well have been aware, she could have been an Aries if born on 27 April.

Grow your own TARDIS 

The original script of the Bad Wolf Bay scene in DW: Journey's End contained an excerpt, in which the Tenth Doctor gave the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor and Rose a piece of TARDIS coral, and Donna told them how to increase the rate of growth so that they could travel the stars in the parallel universe, "as it should be". This scene was removed in the final cut for complicating the scene too much. It was, however, mentioned in The Doctor's Data section of Doctor Who Adventures magazine, and in DWM 398. Russell T Davies states that it is fine to assume this part of the scene did actually occur. The scene is included on the Series 4 DVD Box Set.
