Romana II

In her second incarnation, Romanadvoratrelundar (Romana for short), continued to travel with the Doctor until she decided to remain in E-Space. Later, she returned to the main universe and eventually assumed the office of Lady President.

Regeneration and early life
Romana decided to regenerate into a form just like of Princess Astra. The Doctor protested that she had no right to assume the likeness of another person, so she went briefly though other alternative forms, she settled back on Astra's. (DW: Destiny of the Daleks)  The Doctor soon got accustomed to her new form. He found this new incarnation easier to get along with than the last, to the point where he implied that he considered her his best friend. Together, the Doctor, Romana and K-9 Mark II made an unbeatable team.

E-Space
After forgetting all about the matter, the Doctor received a message from the Time Lords requesting (or rather, ordering) him to return her to their home planet of Gallifrey now that she had helped him find the segments to the Key to Time. En route, the Doctor's TARDIS entered a Charged Vacuum Emboitment, left their own universe, N-Space and entered another, smaller universe known as E-Space (DW: Full Circle). With K-9 damaged by the time winds, the regular universe remained inaccessible to him. Romana she decided to stay with him in the new universe and to help the enslaved Tharils release themselves from captivity. (DW: Warriors' Gate)

President of the High Council
Romana and K-9 did return to N-Space and to Gallifrey and assumed the Presidency. (MA: Goth Opera, NA: Happy Endings'') Romana boldly intiated diplomatic relations with the Time Lords enemy, the Daleks. (NA: Lungbarrow)

Prior to the destruction of Gallifrey, Romana had regenerated into a third incarnation. (PDA: The Shadows of Avalon)

Behind the Scenes

 * Though the name, Romana II, has not appeared in the series itself, fans and others accept this as the semi-official name of the second incarnation of Romana.


 * Bill Baggs Video (BBV) produced two original audio adventures which featured Lalla Ward as Romana II, with K-9. Since had the rights to K-9 but not Romana or E-Space, she has no name other than "Mistress" in the audio plays, which the characters merely refers to E-Space as "the pocket universe".


 * Although a relationship was never explicitly shown or intended by the writers, many fans have found the signs of a romantic relationship particularly evident in the story City of Death, perhaps reflecting the real-life romance between Tom Baker and Lalla Ward which reportedly blossomed during the production of that story and led to their brief marriage.

Age

 * In City of Death, Romana says she is 125 but in The Ribos Opertion she claims to be nearly 140 so her age can not be completly acuretly placed without further information.
