Rachel Rowley

Rachel Rowley was a nurse who worked in London in 2005.

Rowley grew up in the 1980s and went to school with Miranda Dawkins. She was briefly possessed by the Network, and was saved by the Eighth Doctor.

In 2005, Rowley was looking after Marnal in his old age when he regenerated into a younger body. Rowley helped Marnal hide this from his adoptive human family and in finding the Eighth Doctor. She learned of the destruction of Gallifrey, but was adamantly defensive of the Doctor and frequently clashed with Marnal.

After Marnal was killed, Rachel joined the Doctor and his companions Fitz Kreiner and Trix MacMillan, following them to their final confrontation with the Vore. (PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles)
