Harriet Dodd

 was the guiding light of Ministry for Alien Incursions and Ontological Wonders in the Victorian era, and, later, the creator of Wonderland.

Biography
She was a consummate scientist, "trouncing" male competitors in all the fields she studied, including space exploration, genetic experimentation and landscape gardening. She helped found the Ministry for Alien Incursions and Ontological Wonders because she was one of the first humans to recognise the threat posed to the "rational world" by creatures from other dimensions. Using a feasibility generator, Dodd created Wonderland, a "subterranean zoo of freaks" under the Earth's crust, to imprison the strange creatures breaking through from other dimensions that MIAOW captured on her behalf.

She originally had four brilliant helpers in Wonderland, but, jealous of their intelligence, she drugged them, ripped out their brains and transplanted them into her own skull, making her five times as intelligent as a normal human, but resulting in her having an extremely large head. Ultimately, Dodd was betrayed by MIAOW, however, due to them finding her own brand of "nonsense" more dangerous than whatever she was trying to contain. They sealed her up inside Wonderlan in suspended animation. There, she slumbered for a century, allowing the various impossible things to rearrange themselves into a veritable underground world.

When she woke up in 1973, she decided to become Queen of Wonderland and restore it to the orderly containment facility she had originally envisioned. She discovered that Iris Wildthyme and Panda, two other "impossible beings," had coincidentally just arrived in Wonderland, and she resolved to make them the latest additions to her collection.
