Martha Jones

Martha Jones was a female Human who worked as a medical student at the Royal Hope Hospital in London.

The twenty-three-year-old Martha was working at the hospital when she encountered the Doctor, and later joined him as his companion on his adventures. The Doctor insisted, however, that he had not brought Martha aboard the TARDIS as a replacement for his previous companion, Rose Tyler. (DW: Smith and Jones)

Alongside the Doctor
Martha Jones first met the Doctor in the street on the way to work; she had been on the phone to several members of her family when she bumped into him. He took off his tie, saying "like so!" before getting on his way. She looked momentarily confused before making her way to her work: she was a nurse at the Royal Hope Hospital in London. As she entered the building, she spots two men appearing like motorcycle couriers, and, soon after, whilst taking her jacket from her locker, she received a strong burst of static electricity.

Then, Martha was one of those present to review the Doctor's case. She examineed him using a stethoscope and was shocked to discover that he has two hearts, slthough she didn't say anything to anyone else about it.

She helped him defeat the Plasmavore "Florence" when the hospital was transported to the Moon by the Judoon, and later joined him on his travels. Her first meeting tuned out to be a way for him to prove that he could use his TARDIS to travel through time as well as space. (DW: Smith and Jones)
