Personality
With an carefree exterior, (PROSE: The Dying Days) the Doctor craved open spaces and natural things such as trees, grass, birds and animals. (PROSE: The Novel of the Film) Thriving on the activity of righting wrongs, (COMIC: Descendance) and safe guarding the future, (COMIC: Coda) the Doctor would always make an attempt to save a life if he could, believing that any life was worth saving. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

The Eight Doctor was a romantic at heart. (TV: Doctor Who)

The Eighth Doctor was full of spirit and the joy of life, and showcased, on multiple occasions, his love for humanity, especially admiring how they "always [saw] patterns in things that [weren't] there," (TV: Doctor Who) but also degraded them for "heading towards [an Ice Warrior] ship like moths to the flame." (PROSE: The Dying Days) So strong was his spirit that he was able to hold off a Cyber-conversion on a mental plane. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

He was also something of a thrill-seeker, hitting the fire alarm of the ITAR simply to "liven things up" during his and Grace's escape. (TV: Doctor Who)

Despite his enthusiasms, the Doctor claimed to have a fear of heights. (TV: Doctor Who)

Although full of spirit and humanity, the Eighth Doctor did have a dark side within him, especially when the forces of evil tried to unbalance laws of the universe, but he still had his mercy during these outbursts, offering to save from the Eye of Harmony, even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee. (TV: Doctor Who) Despite this, he warned Ice Lord Artix that he was "very dangerous when roused." (COMIC: Ascendance)

Like his previous incarnations, the Eighth Doctor stood against wanton violence, (PROSE: The Novel of the Film) and was insistent on solving solutions in a peaceful manner, (PROSE: The Dying Days) but knew that that would not be an option all the time, and was not above resulting to violence when needed.

As a coping mechanism, the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; mocking 's affection for Chang Lee while he was strapped to a gurney, (TV: Doctor Who) and calling the Cybermen unimaginative during their attempt to convert him. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

The Eighth Doctor was willing to help anyone he came across regardless of his connection to them, and sacrifice himself for the sake of others.

The Doctor enjoyed jally babies. (TV: Doctor Who)

He was not against theft if he saw it in his power to return what he stole. (PROSE: The Novel of the Film)

Taking his friends well being as his primary concern, (COMIC: Perceptions) the Doctor almost gave the TARDIS to the Cybermen to protect Stacy Townsend. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

Unafraid to die due to having "died many times before", the Doctor could think of no better epitaph than to have inspired others to hold back death and go forward in all their beliefs. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

Habits and quirks
The Eighth Doctor made a habit of randomly kissing or getting kissed by others, such as with Grace Holloway, (TV: Doctor Who) and Bernice Summerfield. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

The Eighth Doctor exhibited a habit of giving people hints about their future, while not expressing outright the nature of that future. (TV: Doctor Who)

The Doctor showed great proficiency at commandeering transport, being able to drive a police motorcycle. (TV: Doctor Who)

(PROSE: The Dying Days)

While he was not a manipulator, the Doctor possessed the cunning to lead his foes into a battlefield of his choosing. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

He made cocoa for Bernice and the Brigadier. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

Being a Time Lord, the Doctor could will his respiration, heartbeat, brain activity, lindal gland, and reflex response systems to shut down, though he would require a few days to fully recover to full strength afterwards. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

Personality
As a coping mechanism, the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; brashly listing hobbies he could indulge in while dying after Ohila informed him he had four minutes left to live. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)

The Doctor's mental health was somewhat questionable; while he usually acted like an eccentric gentleman, he also had moments of certifiable insanity.

When the Eighth Doctor met his demise, he had been thoroughly broken by the circumstances of his travels and the breakout of the Time War, to the point that he decided to remain onboard a crashing spaceship, pleading with Cass to put aside her fear and hatred of the Time Lords for him to save her. This ultimately ended in failure, and the Doctor died in the crash, having lost the will to regenerate until the Sisterhood of Karn temporarily restored him to life.

Though he continued to refuse joining the Time War, seeing Cass's lifeless body caused the Doctor to finally lose all hope, claim the deceased Cass's bandolier and abandon the title of "Doctor" with extreme disparity after being coaxed by Ohila to embrace his regeneration into a warrior, expressing bitter delight when informed the change would hurt. His last act was to salute past companions Charley, C'rizz, Lucie, Tamsin and Molly, and apologies to Cass, before quoting the Bible and drinking the Elixir prepared to complete his painful regeneration.

Although full of spirit and humanity, the Eighth Doctor did have a dark side within him, especially when the forces of evil tried to unbalance laws of the universe, but he still had his mercy during these outbursts, offering to save from the Eye of Harmony, even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee.

(COMIC: The Flood)

Like his previous incarnations, the Eighth Doctor was insistent on solving solutions in a peaceful manner, (COMIC: Endgame) but knew that that would not be an option all the time, and was not above resulting to violence when needed, even attacking Kroton with lethal intend before he knew he was a sentient Cyberman, (COMIC: The Company of Thieves) and massacring some Torajenn during their attack on Coyoacan. (COMIC: The Way of All Flesh) He didn't complain when he though someone being attacked deserved the retribution, (COMIC: The Final Chapter) or hold any qualms about destroying a non-living entity.

Viewing them as were "the worst thing [one] [could] possibly imagine," the Doctor saw the Daleks as "cold, ruthless killers." (COMIC: Fire and Brimstone)

Destrii described the Eighth Doctor as "quite the package" due to him possessing "brains, buns and barrel-loads of bravado". (COMIC: Ophidius)

When faced with execution, the Doctor confided in Izzy that one of his few regrets was being unable to show her more of the universe's wonders. (COMIC: By Hook or By Crook)

Like his fourth incarnation, the Eighth Doctor could be pedantic at times, focusing on a minor detail when presented with a greater design, (TV: Doctor Who; COMIC: TV Action!, Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game, The Power of Thoueris!, Briarwood) or making puns in the face of danger.

As devious as his predecessor, the Doctor possessed the cunning to lead his foes into a battlefield of his choosing, tricking the Threshold into lowering their guard by letting them think he had regenerated by switching places with Shayde, (COMIC: Wormwood) and stalling his execution by the Ophidians so a servicer drone he had left in the anti-gravity regulator could disable their ship, allowing him to escape. (COMIC: Ophidius)

When subjected to a mind probe, the Doctor could use the procedure to read his interrogator's thoughts and memories. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game, The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack)

Personality
The Eighth Doctor was an enthusiastic figure who explored the universe for the sheer love of it, being a passionate, direct, sympathetic and emotionally accessible individual, but these traits were balanced by his occasional feelings of self-doubt and weariness of his endless battles against evil.

The Eight Doctor was a romantic at heart. (TV: Doctor Who) It was during his eighth incarnation that the Doctor began feeling a desire for romance — "the excitement of being close to someone, the need to exchange ideas on a more personal level, to be able to tell someone what you really believe". However, he told I.M. Foreman it would be unfair to get sexually involved with his companions. (PROSE: Interference - Book Two)

The Eighth Doctor was full of spirit and the joy of life, and showcased, on multiple occasions, his love for humanity, especially admiring how they saw dangers that weren't there.

Although full of spirit and humanity, the Eighth Doctor did have a dark side within him, especially when the forces of evil tried to unbalance laws of the universe, but he still had his mercy during these outbursts, offering to save from the Eye of Harmony, even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee.

(PROSE: Eater of Wasps)

Like his previous incarnations, the Eighth Doctor was insistent on solving solutions in a peaceful manner, (PROSE: Revolution Man) but knew that that would not be an option all the time, and was not above resulting to violence when needed.

However, Romana noted the regret in his eyes. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) He also killed Ed Hill with a gun to prevent the imminent destruction of the Earth, and in part to save Fitz Kreiner from having to bear the responsibility of killing him.

(PROSE: Timeless) Sam theorised that the Doctor took on companions because he "couldn't think in a straight line without [them]." (PROSE: Unnatural History)

In touch with his feminine side, the Doctor was often called a "ponce," or a "poof" on one occasion, (PROSE: Timeless) and had a maternal urge to see to it that everyone around him was well-fed, even carrying food around in his pockets to give to his companions on a moment's notice. (PROSE: The Year of Intelligent Tigers) He often got teary-eyed around Miranda Dawkins, his adopted daughter. (PROSE: Father Time)

The Doctor's mental health was somewhat questionable; while he usually acted like an eccentric gentleman, he also had moments of certifiable insanity, with him describing himself as an "ethnomethodologist", (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress) and Compassion noting that he was "prone to flights of fancy". (PROSE: Frontier Worlds) He believed he "must be insane" when asked by Anji Kapoor, (PROSE: Eater of Wasps) and Fitz Kreiner worried that the Doctor was aware of his breakdowns, just unconcerned by them. Both the Doctor and Fitz shared a worrying moment when they realised the Doctor seemed to be "unbalanced" to the point of schizophrenia. (PROSE: The Slow Empire)

He took his friends well being as his primary concern. (COMIC: Perceptions)

The Doctor believed the Daleks "[had] no interest in anything but conquest and war," with "art, decoration, poetry, music all [being] irrelevant to them." He also had no qualms with killing them with high frequency shock waves. (PROSE: War of the Daleks)

The Doctor became a darker and angrier person with the loss of his TARDIS in the dimensional barrier between Earth and Avalon, and his then reliance on Compassion as a means of travel, (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon) with Fitz noting the Doctor's tendency to throw himself into others' problems to avoid facing his own. (PROSE: The Space Age)

Following Gallifrey's destruction, the Doctor felt he no longer had the right to interfere in the affairs of the Universe due to him no longer having the authority of a Time Lord.

(PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street)

After the loss of his second heart, he became an even more darker, though passionate person. (PROSE: Hope, History 101) He had chest pains when in close proximity to his severed heart, (PROSE: Anachrophobia) and panic attacks brought on by the single pulse in his body. Though his second heart was returned, (PROSE: Camera Obscura) Fitz noticed that its long absence had left a change in the Doctor. (PROSE: Reckless Engineering)

Although full of spirit and humanity, the Eighth Doctor did have a dark side within him, especially when the forces of evil tried to unbalance laws of the universe, but he still had his mercy during these outbursts, offering to save from the Eye of Harmony, even after he attacked him for killing Grace and Lee. (TV: Doctor Who)

After Lucie's death, the Doctor took his frustration out on for his part in the tragedy; refusing to forgive him, telling him the universe would be better without him and yelling at him to leave when his outburst reached its limit. (AUDIO: To the Death) He later felt frustration at for leaving the Ramossans to die at the hands of the Eminence, hitting the TARDIS in frustration and trying to avert the creation of the Eminence despite the Laws of Time. (AUDIO: The Reviled)

As a coping mechanism, the Doctor would react to threats of death and torture with dark humour; mocking 's affection for Chang Lee while he was strapped to a gurney, (TV: Doctor Who) jesting with Eric Rawden until he could no longer stand the interrogation, (AUDIO: Something Inside) bitterly asking his torturers for some more pain, (AUDIO: Memory Lane) cracking jokes when aboard a crashing spaceship with, (AUDIO: Masterplan) and brashly listing hobbies he could indulge in while dying after Ohila informed him he had four minutes left to live. (TV: The Night of the Doctor) His enemies believed he did so to "suppress his fear". (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars)

The Doctor didn't believe in ghosts, (TV: Doctor Who) or view himself as a family man. (AUDIO: Other Lives) He had a soft spot for penguins, (AUDIO: The Next Life) but disliked cats so much that he removed one from the TARDIS on sight. (AUDIO: Nevermore) Towards the end of his life, he began to think that everything happened for a reason. (AUDIO: The Traitor)

In contrast to his scheming predecessor, the Eighth Doctor could not stay on one train of thought for more than a few seconds, getting distracted by the comfort of his new shoes when recalling his childhood, (TV: Doctor Who) and often going into soliloquies without noticing. (AUDIO: Seasons of Fear)

The Doctor's mental health was somewhat questionable; while he usually acted like an eccentric gentleman, he also had moments of certifiable insanity.

The Eighth Doctor was willing to help anyone he came across regardless of his connection to them, (AUDIO: Orbis, Prisoner of the Sun) and sacrifice himself for the sake of others, to the point that even his TARDIS began scolding him for it. (AUDIO: Zagreus)

In touch with his feminine side, the Doctor was often called a "ponce". (AUDIO: Blood of the Daleks)

The Doctor enjoyed Winnie the Pooh, with his favourite character being Tigger, (AUDIO: Caerdroia) and claimed to love dinosaurs. (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars) He once drank wine with Baron Teufel, (AUDIO: The Beast of Orlok) and ordered gingerbread with hot chocolate at the Café Demel. (AUDIO: The Silver Turk)

Like his predecessors, he enjoyed jelly babies, (TV: Doctor Who) with his favourite being the red ones. (AUDIO: Scaredy Cat) He also liked custard, (AUDIO: The Chimes of Midnight) and rarely touched meat. (AUDIO: Seasons of Fear) He also got very excited about cotton candy and chunky monkey ice cream, (AUDIO: Terror Firma) and drank his tea with six sugars. (AUDIO: The Zygon Who Fell to Earth)

Taking his friends well being as his primary concern, (COMIC: Perceptions) the Doctor stole the Master's TARDIS to save Liv Chenka and Molly O'Sullivan from the Dalek Time Controller at a Dalek retreat on the Eye of Orion. (AUDIO: Eye of Darkness)

The Doctor still felt regret for giving Katarina hope after taking her away from her home, only for her to be killed shortly afterwards. (AUDIO: The Last) He also regretted his fourth incarnation's hesitation to avert the creation of the Daleks, and was adamant not to repeat the mistake with Martez's Mutant Daleks. (AUDIO: Blood of the Daleks)

Viewing his predecessor's manipulative nature with disdain, the Doctor abandoned his scheming tendencies and vowed that he would never travel alone again as he did not want to forget how precious life was. (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars) However, after the deaths of his great-grandson, Alex Campbell, and his companions, Tamsin Drew and Lucie Miller, at the hands of the Daleks, the Doctor decided to travel on his own to limit the deaths that came in his wake. (AUDIO: To the Death)

Lucie's death left the Doctor in such a state that he went to the end of the universe just to see what would happen. However, he started having hope again after meeting Molly O'Sullivan, (AUDIO: The Great War) not wanting her killing herself to stop the Daleks plan because he didn't want to lose anyone else to the Daleks, (AUDIO: X and the Daleks) though he did get annoyed when he found Molly squatting in his house. (AUDIO: The White Room) Even after he had been joined by Liv Chenka in his travels, (AUDIO: Time's Horizon) the Doctor greatly missed Molly when Narvin forced them apart. (AUDIO: A Life in the Day)

His hatred of the Daleks escalated after they started to pursue him and Molly through time, (AUDIO: Fugitives) though he considered a war between the Daleks and the Time Lords to be a ridiculous thought. (AUDIO: Tangled Web) However, when he thought that the Eminence was a greater threat to the universe, he decided to ally himself with the Dalek Time Controller. (AUDIO: Eyes of the Master) After their alliance ended, (AUDIO: Time's Horizon) they resumed their animosity to each other, with the Doctor being particularly angry with the Time Controller's plans to make a New Dalek Paradigm from the artists of Montmartre. (AUDIO: The Monster of Montmartre)

Towards the end of his life, the Doctor began to reminisce about his adventures with previous companions. (AUDIO: Mary's Story)

The Doctor distastefully looked at his immediate predecessor as being "a man with the master plan" working for the "greater good" under the belief of the ends justifying the means, unfavourably comparing him to the Monk in that regard. (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars)

Charley referred to the Eighth Doctor as "an unbelievable, impossible, marvellous man." (AUDIO: The Fall of the House of Pollard) While Lucie originally took against him, describing him as a "patronising git," and a "spineless fish", (AUDIO: Blood of the Daleks, The Skull of Sobek) she claimed that the Eighth Doctor was "the best bloke [she'd] ever met" mere seconds before her death. (AUDIO: To the Death) The Doctor's first TARDIS described the Eighth Doctor as "the idealist". (AUDIO: Prisoners of Fate) While Iris Wildthyme called him a "dilettante fop", Jo Grant though the Eighth Doctor was "very dashing". (AUDIO: The Elixir of Doom)

The Doctor wished to die alone. (AUDIO: Scherzo)

Habits and quirks
The Eighth Doctor exhibited a habit of giving people hints about their future, while not expressing outright the nature of that future. (TV: Doctor Who)

He also had a tendency to repeat himself when he was trying to make a point, (TV: Doctor Who) or conveying something important.

The Eighth Doctor made a habit of randomly kissing or getting kissed by others, such as with Grace Holloway, (TV: Doctor Who) and Charlotte Pollard. (AUDIO: Scherzo)

He would raise his voice when excited, scared, upset or angered. (TV: Doctor Who; AUDIO: To the Death)

He would often lean towards making a sarcastic quip, especially when in the company of Lucie Miller, leading her to nickname him "Sarcasmo". (AUDIO: The Vengeance of Morbius)

Like his first incarnation, the Eight Doctor was known to grasp the lapels of his frockcoats.

Like many of his predecessors, the Doctor would often flick the long tails of his frockcoat back and stand with his hands in his pockets. (TV: Doctor Who; AUDIO: Seasons of Fear)

Skills
The Eighth Doctor had a talent in pick-pocketing. (TV: Doctor Who)

The Doctor showed great proficiency at commandeering transport, being able to drive a police motorcycle, (TV: Doctor Who) and fly a plane with identical ease. (AUDIO: Fugitives)

While he mostly abandoned his predecessor's manipulative tendencies for excellent improvisational skills, (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars) the Doctor tricked the Eminence into destroying itself. (AUDIO: Rule of the Eminence)

While he was not a manipulator, the Doctor possessed the cunning to lead his foes into a battlefield of his choosing. (COMIC: Dreadnought)

The Doctor could also speed read a book in a matter of seconds. (AUDIO: Invaders from Mars)

The Doctor could speak Italian, (AUDIO: Living Legend) and Russian, (AUDIO: The Natural History of Fear) and sing a venusian lullaby. (AUDIO: The Elixir of Doom)

The Doctor used Venusian aikido on C'rizz, though injured himself doing so due being out of practice. (AUDIO: Faith Stealer)

The Doctor also had the ability to enter another being's mind, but his morality prevented him from doing so. (AUDIO: Caerdroia)

The Doctor had a good memory, being able to remember all the Liverpool F.C. strikers and goals from 1964-1965 and 2013-2014, (AUDIO: The Next Life) as well as the inspirational fifth victory of European Cup by Liverpool's football club in 2005. (AUDIO: Something Inside)

The Doctor could will his hearts to stop. (AUDIO: Death in Blackpool)

The Doctor could deduce his location by studying his surroundings. (AUDIO: Mary's Story)

Main attires
The Doctor's most catching item of clothing was her hooded, lilac-blue trench coat with dark blue interim and a rainbow pattern along the edges of it.

Under her coat, the Doctor wore a white tank top beneath a black jumper top with rainbow stripes running across the chest, with a pair of high-waisted teal blue culotte trousers kept up by mustard yellow suspenders. For footwear, she wore blue striped socks with brown, laced-up boots.

She also wore golden ringed earrings at the top of the ear and at the lobe.

12 Personality
Starting his life as a cynical man with a dry, acerbic wit, a brutal honesty and a fierce internalised anger, the Twelfth Doctor adopted a less caring attitude and more hostile nature, (TV: Deep Breath, Robot of Sherwood, Kill the Moon, Dark Water) though he believed he gave people the benefit of the doubt. (PROSE: The Blood Cell) However, after embracing the idea of being "an idiot", (TV: Death in Heaven) the Doctor employed a kookier demeanour, (TV: The Magician's Apprentice, The Zygon Invasion) trying harder to be social, (TV: Under the Lake) but still keeping to his pragmatic ideology, (TV: The Girl Who Died) and would resume being hostile when angered. (TV: The Witch's Familiar, Face the Raven, Hell Bent) Following his final night with River Song, (TV: The Husbands of River Song) the Doctor became more relaxed, amenable and adventures, with a more kinder approach to how he handled situations. (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio, The Pilot, Thin Ice, Oxygen, Empress of Mars) However, beneath the fierce determination and adventurous persona, the Twelfth Doctor was a weary man who would succumb to his tiredness when pushed to the brink. (TV: The Girl Who Died, Heaven Sent, Hell Bent, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, Extremis, The Doctor Falls, Twice Upon a Time)

Even though he identified himself as a pacifist, (COMIC: Terrorformer) and believed necessary evils to be a last resort, (COMIC: The Fractures) the Twelfth Doctor showed even less restraint than his predecessor, and would get frank and physical with others. (TV: Deep Breath, Robot of Sherwood, World Enough and Time) However, behind his cold exterior, he was extremely self-reflective, to the point where he even questioned whether he was a good man. (TV: Into the Dalek, Mummy on the Orient Express) Clara also felt that "there were several layers to the Doctor's emotions." (PROSE: Silhouette) The Doctor himself was well aware of the fact that he often found himself in situations that forced him to make terrible decisions, (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express) and believed he was "overbearing, manipulative and consciously aware of his own intelligence". (TV: Time Heist) Eventually, he came to the conclusion that he was neither a good nor bad man, but rather just "an idiot, with a box and a screwdriver, just passing through, helping out, [and] learning," (TV: Death in Heaven) and later added that he was "just a bloke in a box telling stories" (TV: The Witch's Familiar) and a "scary, handsome genius from space" (TV: Smile) who was "adorable, hugely intelligent, but still approachable". (TV: The Pyramid at the End of the World)

The Doctor also hoped to one day find Gallifrey, and reacted with devastation when his hope of finding it turned out to be a false lead. (TV: Death in Heaven) When he finally did manage to find his way to Gallifrey after enduring "4.5 billion years" of torture within his confession dial, he first returned to his old barn hideaway in the Drylands, and then lead a coup against Rassilon to banish him and the High Council for their part in the Time War. After using the Time Lords technology to save Clara from the Quantum Shade, the Doctor fled from Gallifrey once again. (TV: Hell Bent)

By his own testament, the Twelfth Doctor did not suffer fools gladly, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) nor did he tolerate poor manners, even when held at gunpoint, and he believed that one should make requests politely, (TV: Into the Dalek) as well as avoid bad language. (TV: Kill the Moon, Thin Ice) He also believed that "hardly anything [was] evil, but [that] most things [were] hungry", and that "hunger look[ed] very [much] like evil from the wrong end of the cutlery." (TV: The Pilot)

Viewed as an egotist by Clara Oswald, (TV: Robot of Sherwood) the Doctor had a consistently anti-authoritarian attitude, only ever asking who was in charge so he could "know who to ignore", (TV: Under the Lake) viewed it as his place to give the explanations, (TV: Last Christmas) and also did not like it when somebody else tried to name something before he did, claiming it was his place to "do the naming." (TV: Sleep No More) He confessed to Lucy Fletcher that he "hardly ever listen[ed] when other people [were] talking". (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio)

He did not see himself as a "hero", merely someone who was "just passing the time", (TV: Robot of Sherwood) or passing by, (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio, Smile) but would answer distress signals, believing that he only saw "the true face of the universe when it [was] asking for [his] help." (TV: Oxygen) He also believed that one could always find something to be distracted by, (TV: Into the Dalek) felt invasions of Earth were justified after hearing about the horror film Alien, (TV: Last Christmas) and expressed the opinion that an enemy was "just a friend you didn't really know yet". (WC: Prologue)

The Twelfth Doctor preferred to be in the moment, where "everything is huge, everything is so important, every detail, every moment, every life clung to [the moment]." He claimed to the Half-Face Man that the people of Earth "[were] never small to [him]," and, unlike his tenth incarnation, he didn't think he deserved a reward or a "promised land" because he had "already [gone] a very long way [to protect the people]", (TV: Deep Breath) and become a lost soul beyond redemption because of it. (TV: Face the Raven) He also valued mortal lives, however brief they seemed to him, telling Lady Me that she would become his enemy if she executed Sam Swift while he was at her mercy, (TV: The Woman Who Lived) and forbade Weezie from speaking to him after he learned she killed dragons for sport. (COMIC: The Dragon Lord)

He "[found] it best to keep an open mind, unclouded by the opinions of others", favoured the direct approach when he encountered an obstacle, and believed it was always best to assume and plan for the worst-case scenario. (PROSE: Silhouette) He also viewed pain as a gift, telling a Cyber-converted Danny Pink that "without the capacity for pain, [you] can't feel the hurt [you] inflict," (TV: Death in Heaven) and also believed that "a bit of shame never hurt anyone," (TV: The Witch's Familiar) and that true immortality was "everybody else dying". (TV: The Girl Who Died) Despite coming across as uncaring, with a complete disregard for social niceties, he would fight to protect those in his care, and he would react with devastation if harm befell them. (TV: Deep Breath, The Witch's Familiar, The Girl Who Died, Face the Raven, The Doctor Falls) He would also regret the deaths of good people, especially if the survivors displayed an unpleasant attitude. (TV: Flatline)

He was willing to place his companions in danger if it meant appeasing his curiosity, often leaving them out of the details in his plans, or using them to distract attention away from himself. (TV: Deep Breath, The Caretaker, Kill the Moon, Mummy on the Orient Express) However, if he believed the situation was too dangerous for them, the Doctor would send his companions to the safety of the TARDIS while staring down the threat alone. (TV: Listen, Before the Flood, Smile, Twice Upon a Time)

However, for the most part, the Doctor preferred to largely keep his softer side hidden under a "reputation for grumpiness", (COMIC: The Hyperion Empire) making him act callous towards grieving individuals. (TV: Into the Dalek, Mummy on the Orient Express, Dark Water, The Girl Who Died) He would leave murdered bodies he found undisturbed to avoid either awkward questions or the cause of the killing, (PROSE: Silhouette, The Crawling Terror) and neglect to ask for people's names because they were "not [his] area". (TV: Deep Breath, In the Forest of the Night) He eventually began using cue cards to help him socialise. (TV: Under the Lake)

The Doctor also showed a strong compassionate streak, running into a burning library to save Lafcardio from being ejecting into space, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) putting himself in harm's way to save Maisie Pitt from the Foretold, (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express) assisting Clara even after she had attempted to blackmail him, (TV: Dark Water) giving Davros some of his regenerative energy to allow him to see a Skarosian sunrise before he died, (TV: The Witch's Familiar) sacrificing his TARDIS key to reunite Anahson with her mother, (TV: Face the Raven) and giving his space helmet to Bill Potts to save her being exposed to the vacuum of space. (TV: Oxygen) He would also try to avoid harming those who were not in control of their actions, as well as defend them from their captors or those who would cause them further harm. (PROSE: Silhouette, The Crawling Terror)

While he described himself as having had "sophistication and timeless sartorial elegance" restored, (COMIC: Terrorformer) the Doctor was not above acting childish; requesting a children's menu at Mancini's Family Restaurant, (TV: Deep Breath) wriggling his toes to make the pigs on his socks dance, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) whistling "Another Brick in the Wall" to annoy Clara, (TV: The Caretaker) doing a victory dance after moving the TARDIS off a train line, (TV: Flatline) ecstatically steering Santa Claus's sleigh, (TV: Last Christmas) looking for ways to avoid concentrating on something he did not want to dwell on, (TV: The Doctor's Meditation) having impulses to blow things up, (TV: Smile) and bickering with the likes of Robin Hood and Father Christmas. (TV: Robot of Sherwood, Last Christmas) He also got excited when he was inside a Dalek, (TV: Into the Dalek) enthusiastically tried to find out the cause of his childhood nightmares, (TV: Listen) was delighted when he finally saw the Foretold, (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express) got giddy over possibly finding out the existence of ghosts, (TV: Under the Lake) was very eager to explore a mysterious house. (COMIC: Playing House) and gleefully laughed as he sped a ship into British waters. (TV: The Lie of the Land) Kevin Alperton noted that, while the Doctor looked old, he had an energy to him that made him seem younger and different. (PROSE: The Crawling Terror)

Though he liked humanity for its optimism, (TV: Smile) the Doctor would insult humans as being slow-minded, greedy and violent, dubbing Earth the "planet of the pudding-brains." (TV: Deep Breath, The Caretaker, Kill the Moon, In the Forest of the Night, The Girl Who Died, Sleep No More, The Lie of the Land) Nonetheless, he tolerated the company of those who could engage him intellectually, (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express, Death in Heaven, Under the Lake, The Pyramid at the End of the World) unless they got on his bad side first, (COMIC: The Fractures) and claimed to respect humanity enough to allow it to determine its own future without any interference from him, (TV: Kill the Moon) giving insight and knowledge to those who would listen, while still leaving the decision up to humanity. (TV: Thin Ice) As with his previous incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor also liked people who got straight to the point, and thought that someone who wasn't scared in a life-threatening situation was an idiot, (TV: Last Christmas) and would have them focus on their chances of survival, however slim, to encourage them to prevail. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice)

Unlike his immediate predecessor, the twelfth incarnation was not an affectionate individual, failing to return hugs, or protesting against them, (TV: Deep Breath, Listen, Time Heist) believing they were just another way to hide one's face, (TV: Death in Heaven) but claimed them a good way to smell someone's hair. (PROSE: The Blood Cell) He also expressed a dislike of holding hands with others, but made an exception for Clara and Shona McCullough. (TV: Dark Water, Last Christmas, Sleep No More) He did, however, draw the line at performing a "high five" with Clara. (TV: Under the Lake) However, he hugged Clara to comfort her after she was almost shot, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) and again when they parted ways. (TV: Death in Heaven) Over time, the Doctor began to accept Clara's attempts to hug him, (TV: Last Christmas, The Woman Who Lived, Face the Raven) and even started hugging her on the odd occasion. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice, The Girl Who Died) By the time he reunited with Maxwell Edison, the Doctor had accepted being a hugger, giving an affection one to Max, (COMIC: The Stockbridge Showdown) and embracing the chance to hug Bill after losing her in a conflict with the Cybermen. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)

Uncomfortable with kissing, he was momentarily dumbfounded when Maid Marian pecked him on the cheek in gratitude for saving her, (TV: Robot of Sherwood) and reacted with horror after he was passionately kissed by. (TV: Dark Water) However, he pecked Missy on the lips in gratitude for forcing him into self-reflection, (TV: Death in Heaven) kissed Clara's forehead while complimenting her brilliance in a moment of excitement, (COMIC: The Big Hush) gave Meghan, a donkey he had befriended, a kiss on the head when he thought no one was looking, (PROSE: All the Empty Towers) and kissed Clara's hand as a farewell gesture before she met her death. (TV: Face the Raven) He also accepted kisses on the cheek from both Clara, (TV: Last Christmas) and River Song. (TV: The Husbands of River Song)

Also unlike his immediate predecessor, the Twelfth Doctor was unwilling to alter the Web of Time, fearing that the ramifications from the tiniest changes could be catastrophic, spreading "carnage and chaos across the universe like ripples on a pond," (TV: Before the Flood) instead opting to create "ripples" instead of "tidal waves." (TV: The Girl Who Died) He believed it was okay to send people to their deaths if history recorded them as deceased, (PROSE: The Crawling Terror) and also refused Clara's request to save Danny Pink from being hit by a car due to it being a part of her timeline, and undoing it would cause a paradox. (TV: Dark Water) He also told Mason Bennett that he "[couldn't] just go back and cut off tragedy at the root, because you find yourself talking to someone you just saw dead on a slab, [and] then you really do see ghosts". (TV: Before the Flood) However, upon returning to Gallifrey, the Doctor used an extraction chamber to save Clara from the Quantum Shade, and also attempted to prevent her from returning to her death, despite it being a fixed point in time, (TV: Hell Bent) and engineered events to prevent Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart and a German soldier from killing each other, claiming that "a couple fewer dead people on the battlefield" would not "hurt". (TV: Twice Upon a Time)

Much like his seventh and war incarnations, the Twelfth Doctor was heavily inclined to err toward a greater good and was willing to allow a few inevitable deaths if it meant saving the majority. Through this attitude, he acted like a pragmatist that would not hesitate to abandon someone whose fate was already sealed, nor mourn for an ally until his objective had been reached. (TV: Into the Dalek, Time Heist, Kill the Moon, Mummy on the Orient Express, The Girl Who Died, Sleep No More, Thin Ice) However, the Doctor was still willing to save people if their deaths were not an immediate inevitability, desperately yelling for people to flee from St. Paul's Cathedral when the Cybermen began their invasion, (TV: Dark Water) as well as attempting to save Albert Smithe from the Kantrofarri, (TV: Last Christmas) making a small effort to prevent Alice O'Donnell from being killed in Краснодар, (TV: Before the Flood) and making sure to prevent future colonists from being killed by the Vardy. (TV: Smile)

Also like his previous incarnations, he relied on his companions to keep him from succumbing to his darker nature, but, unlike his predecessors, the Twelfth Doctor actively praised them for it, even claiming that Clara Oswald needed a "raise" for dealing with him. (TV: Into the Dalek) He also enjoyed it when they asked him obvious questions, claiming that it helped him think, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) but disliked it when they pointed out mistakes he made, (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio) and identified them as his "social interface with the human race", (COMIC: The Fractures) and the main reason he didn't need an army. (TV: Death in Heaven)

In stark contrast to his previous incarnations, the Twelfth Doctor was more willingly to leave a situation if he believed he had nothing to contribute; abandoning Jason Clearfield when he could not offer medical assistance, (PROSE: The Crawling Terror) abandoning soldiers dying of diseases after solving the mystery of the source, (PROSE: Silver Mosquitoes) leaving Clara, Courtney Woods and Captain Lundvik to decide the fate of the Moon when he felt it wasn't his place to decide for them, (TV: Kill the Moon) and leaving the North Pole base immediately after escaping the Dream crabs, despite Clara claiming the team was still in danger of the Dream crabs still at the base. (TV: Last Christmas) The Doctor justified his attitude by pointing out the dangers of everyday life, claiming that "[everything is] dangerous if you want it to be", and once even pointed out to Clara that he was neither humanity's mother or the police. (TV: Kill the Moon, Last Christmas, The Girl Who Died)

Despite his grumpy nature, the Doctor got along well with children, giving a big tip to a little girl selling matches, (PROSE: Silhouette) giving Rupert Pink an enthusiastic pep talk about fear being a super power, (TV: Listen) telling Maebh Arden that her theory of everyone knowing everything but her was "not quite true", (TV: In the Forest of the Night) helping Evie Hubbard with her history homework, (TV: The Woman Who Lived) stopping to tie a young boy's shoelaces while searching for a trap street, (TV: Face the Raven) giving Dottie his bun and top hat as payment for a flyer, (TV: Thin Ice) and telling Alit not be worried after showing kindness to a Cyber-converted Bill. (TV: The Doctor Falls) After realising he had hurt Courtney Woods's feelings, he decided to take her and Clara to the Moon, so that Courtney could be the first girl on the Moon, to help her feel special, (TV: Kill the Moon) and was ashamed with himself when he abandoned a young Davros to the Handmines, to the extend that he felt only death could atone for his actions. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) He also did not look down at children, and treated their thoughts and suggestions as seriously as he did with grown-ups' ideas and opinions, (TV: Listen, In the Forest of the Night, The Girl Who Died) and was angered when finding babies unattended too. (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio)

An absent minded incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor failed to notice when someone was asking him if they looked attractive, (TV: Into the Dalek, Time Heist, The Woman Who Lived) would go off to a location without asking for directions, (PROSE: Silhouette) had trouble recognising people's age group, (TV: Into the Dalek, The Caretaker, Kill the Moon, Last Christmas, The Return of Doctor Mysterio) believed that minor clothing changes hid his identity, (TV: The Caretaker) could not grasp the concept of an English lesson, (COMIC: The Fractures) would read sentences in their entirety even when he didn't have to, (TV: Under the Lake) and thought he had uncovered Superman's secret identity, despite Grant telling him that it was already a known fact. (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio) Like his predecessor, he was also shown to have a poor concept on the passage of time, (TV: The Doctor's Meditation, The Magician's Apprentice, The Zygon Inversion) and would make contradictory statements, such as telling Courtney Woods that she "wasn't special", (TV: Kill the Moon) despite previously telling the Half-Face Man that humanity "never [seemed] small to [him]". (TV: Deep Breath) He also claimed that Clara would hate the "smelly, dirty and dangerous" Arthurian era, but would love the Victorian era for the same reasons, (PROSE: Silhouette) and claimed that, while he found the transmitter ghosts as "evil", he also found them "astonishing", and said he "want[ed] to kiss [them] to death". (TV: Under the Lake) He called London a "cradle of culture", but later confessed to Osgood that he thought it a "dump". (TV: The Zygon Inversion)

Though he did not know the reason, believing it to simply be his old age, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) the Twelfth Doctor expressed a strong dislike for soldiers and military figures, (TV: Into the Dalek, The Caretaker, Death in Heaven) being "decidedly prickly in his dealing with anything remotely military", (PROSE: The Crawling Terror) though claimed his disdain was flexible in a crisis. (PROSE: The Blood Cell) However, he showed sympathy towards Captain Quell and the Foretold, (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express) and still retained a respect for the Brigadier. (TV: Death in Heaven) He was also easily annoyed by swashbucklers who did not take things seriously, (TV: Robot of Sherwood) even abandoning a village of Vikings to death in battle due to their insistence on fighting the Mire, (TV: The Girl Who Died) and held a disdain towards business people who valued profit above anything else. (TV: Under the Lake, Sleep No More)

He also claimed to dislike the colour of his kidneys, (TV: The Time of the Doctor) liver, karaoke, mime, (TV: Deep Breath) babysitters, (TV: Into the Dalek) bantering, (TV: Robot of Sherwood) Candy Crush, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) outside interference, money, being taken prisoner, (COMIC: Terrorformer) salutes, (TV: Death in Heaven) pantomime, (PROSE: Behind You) cyclopes, (COMIC: Doctor on the Menu) tanks, (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) songs that got stuck in his head, (TV: Under the Lake) Tivolians, (TV: Before the Flood) gardening, (TV: Heaven Sent) pears, (TV: Hell Bent) Christmas, (COMIC: Relative Dimensions) "lying-down people", (TV: The Husbands of River Song) fish, (TV: Smile) racism, talking in the cinema, (TV: The Lie of the Land) charm, and "brave people". (TV: The Eaters of Light) He also disliked being wrong in public, (TV: Deep Breath) missing the obvious, (TV: Last Christmas) and being sure of something. (TV: The Husbands of River Song) While he claimed to hate not knowing about something when faced with the Teller, (TV: Time Heist) he was known to admire the unexplainable. (TV: Flatline, Under the Lake) He also told Ohila that, while he trusted her, he didn't necessary like her, (WC: Prologue) and confessed to Osgood that, while he spent a lot of time there, he considered London to be a "dump". (TV: The Zygon Inversion) However, just before his regeneration, the Doctor denounced hate as "always foolish", and proclaimed that "love [was] always wise." (TV: Twice Upon a Time)

While he did not dwell on the subject much, the Twelfth Doctor was still haunted by the War Doctor's actions in the Last Great Time War, and claimed to hear "more screams than anyone could ever be able to count" whenever he closed his eyes, and vowed that he would ensure that others would never have to feel the angst he felt, leaving him with an extreme hatred of war, (TV: The Zygon Inversion) even saying the word with contempt in his voice. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) When he learned that all Bonnie truly wanted was a pointless war between humanity and the Zygons, he went into a furious and grief-stricken tirade by telling her that he knew what war was really like and that he would not allow her to lead others to their deaths. (TV: The Zygon Inversion) While he disliked guns, (TV: The Doctor Falls) he noted that it was foolish to disregard them when they were useful, (PROSE: The Crawling Terror) and was willing to utilise one himself when he felt the need to, but would immediately discard it once it was no longer needed. (TV: The Witch's Familiar, Hell Bent)

The Doctor liked babies and bicycles, which reminded him of Call the Midwife, as well as stars, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) "working under pressure", (TV: Into the Dalek) candy floss, (PROSE: All the Empty Towers) "a show-stopping entrance", (COMIC: Terrorformer) a "good locked-room mystery", (TV: Flatline) puppets, (TV: The Girl Who Died) sherbet lemons, Ferrari cars, (TV: The Woman Who Lived) "poncing about in a big plane", (TV: The Zygon Invasion) the title "Doctor Mysterio", "pressing buttons and switches", (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio) rivets, (TV: Smile) Chinese food, and insects. (TV: Knock Knock) The Doctor also claimed that 12 was his "lucky number", (TV: The Doctor's Meditation) and had a liking for books, particular ones about Garfield, reacting with anger towards those he believed burned books, and also believed that women who liked books to be the best kind. (PROSE: The Blood Cell) When he redecorated the TARDIS control room, he included numerous shelves full of a variety of books, and a recliner to enjoy reading them in, (TV: Deep Breath) sometimes even leaving his books scattered around the console room. (TV: Listen, Kill the Moon) He thought football was a "boring sport", but that darts as "something worth practicing," and that "maths and alcoholic beverages" were the "best way to spend the morning", (TV: For Tonight We Might Die) and liked to repay good deeds, such as when Bill Potts gave him a rug for his office, (TV: The Pilot) even though he did not like the rug. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)

Though he initially stated that murder was against his "programming", (TV: Deep Breath) the Doctor knew there were "situations when the options available [were] limited". (TV: Thin Ice) He showed a willingness to kill the Half-Face Man if he had to, though with some reluctance, first offering him a drink of alcohol and trying to persuade the clockwork droid to self-destruct of his own free will before engaging in fisticuffs. (TV: Deep Breath) He also stated that, despite how much he hated him, he had no intention of killing the Architect, (TV: Time Heist) but was willing to kill to spare Clara from doing it. (TV: Death in Heaven) He did, however, orchestrate the deaths of two Kaliratha that were keeping him prisoner by taking them to a point in time prior to their bodies being discovered, (COMIC: The Swords of Kali) tricked the Fisher King into being engulfed in the deluge of the flood that destroyed Краснодар, (TV: Before the Flood) gave permission for UNIT to engage Zygons with lethal force, so long as they kept fatalities to a minimum, (TV: The Zygon Invasion) fatally shot the General after being assured he would regenerate, (TV: Hell Bent) and left Ron Cordell and some Skinks to be devoured by a black hole after tampering with the black hole drive's containment field. (COMIC: Pirates of Vourakis) He also viewed certain creatures as expendable, as he wanted to kill a dream crab to save Clara from slowly being devoured by it, (TV: Last Christmas) and crushed a defenceless Love Sprite under his heel to prevent it attacking him. (TV: The Girl Who Died)

The Doctor held a veneration of the dead. As such, he ceased all insults towards Danny Pink after being told of his passing, (TV: Dark Water) was morally outraged with the Fisher King for using the souls of the dead as transmitters for his armada, (TV: Before the Flood) and become hurt when he thought the Testimony had duplicated Bill after she "gave her life so that people she barely knew could live". (TV: Twice Upon a Time)

The Twelfth Doctor believed that education came quicker in life threating situations, and claimed that begging "wasn't [his] style", (COMIC: Terrorformer) unless his friends were threatened. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) He also didn't care about sexuality, instead being bothered by people hating each other, and didn't approve of revenge. (COMIC: The Swords of Kali) He claimed that taking charge was his "superpower", (TV: Time Heist) and listed "investigating", "playing with time" and "resistance" among his specialities, (COMIC: Terrorformer, The Swords of Kali, The Fractures) with Clara adding "interfering and infuriating" to the list. (COMIC: Terrorformer)

He had a more celibate nature than his predecessor; dismissing Clara's comments on Silhouette's attractiveness, (PROSE: Silhouette) and not understanding Dr. Chang's suggestion about the application of dark water in public swimming pools. He also described Clara as being "a mess of chemicals" after she professed her love for Danny Pink. (TV: Dark Water) Despite this, he called a female Tyrannosaurus rex a "big sexy woman" while in a post-regenerative state, (TV: Deep Breath) considered Fiona Bellows "sexy", partially because of her Scottish accent, (TV: Last Christmas) and shared a mutual attraction with his wife, River Song. (TV: The Husbands of River Song)

After redecorating his console room, the Doctor designed it with a more lived-in state, filling it with bookshelves, chairs, and workbenches, (TV: Deep Breath, The Caretaker) and even once having a meal in it with guests. (TV: Time Heist) He once told Clara that the TARDIS was his house. (TV: Flatline) The Doctor told Bill Potts that the TARDIS was a "technological marvel", "science beyond magic", and "the gateway to everything that ever was, or ever can be." (TV: The Pilot) He did, however, occasionally enacted violence against his TARDIS out of frustration, striking its column with his fists hard enough to damage it after discovering Missy's coordinates to Gallifrey had been a lie, (TV: Death in Heaven) and later struck the console with enough force for he to believe he had broken a finger. (PROSE: Deep Time)

The Twelfth Doctor's hatred toward the Dalek species was rigid, with Clara describing it as "prejudice", (TV: Into the Dalek) though he did stop to mourn Lumpy, a Dalek that had deceived him into friendship. (GAME: The Doctor and the Dalek) He believed Daleks were incapable of change and was closed-minded as he dealt with their presence, and would refuse to help a Dalek unless his interests were peaked. (TV: Into the Dalek; GAME: The Doctor and the Dalek) After his act of fixing a malfunctioning "good" Dalek caused it to revert to "evil", the Doctor was almost pleased that his belief of there being "no such thing as a good Dalek" was vindicated. (TV: Into the Dalek) Despite his hatred of them, the Doctor admitted to the Governor that the Dalek Emperor "[was] nothing compared to your average mobile phone sales assistant". (PROSE: The Blood Cell) He also held a disregard for the Cybermen, unceremoniously flattening two with his TARDIS, (GAME: The Doctor and the Dalek) and knew to be cautious around them, (TV: Face the Raven) though would try to reason with the ones that were "fresh out the factory". (TV: World Enough and Time)

The Twelfth Doctor disliked his immediate predecessor for his enjoyment of bow ties and fezzes, and overuse of the word "cool". (COMIC: Terrorformer) However, upon seeing Adrian Davies, a teacher at Coal Hill School with a resemblance to his previous incarnation, the Doctor, mistaking Adrian as Clara's boyfriend, arrogantly assumed that Clara was dating Adrian because of his uncanny resemblance to "a certain dashing young time traveller", reflecting more favourably on his predecessor. (TV: The Caretaker) Additionally, he was, at times, critical of his previous incarnations' clothing; thinking that his fourth incarnation's scarf "looked stupid", (TV: Deep Breath) and regarded his immediate predecessor's fondness for bow ties as "a bit embarrassing", (TV: Time Heist) but complimented Osgood's bow tie as "nice". (TV: Death in Heaven) According to Affinity, the Doctor kept his predecessors "lodged in his head", and held a low opinion of them and himself. (PROSE: Silhouette)

When he encountered his first incarnation, the Doctor was embarrassed by the First Doctor's habit of making comments that were inappropriate in the Twelfth Doctor's eyes, especially when he threatened to give Bill a "smack on the bottom" if she kept on swearing. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)

When he met his two previous incarnations, the Doctor had a frosty accord with the Tenth Doctor, who refused to consider the twelfth incarnation as a future incarnation until the Blinovitch Limitation Effect confirmed he was. Conversely, the Eleventh Doctor was willing to accept him as his next incarnation and was happy to know he had more life in the future. The Twelfth Doctor, however, expressed concern that the two would come to know him as the "scary Doctor". He held the Ninth Doctor in higher regards, saying the Continuity Bomb could not find an timeline where he wasn't "fantastic". (COMIC: Four Doctors)

When Rusty the Dalek looked into the Twelfth Doctor's mind, he saw hatred and noted that the Doctor was "a good Dalek", while Clara believed the Doctor was trying to be a good man regardless, (TV: Into the Dalek) and claimed that he "always care[d]" by the time of her death. (TV: Face the Raven) When questioned by Lisa Foster, Clara reluctantly admitted she thought the Doctor was "kind of [cool]. In a strange sort of way", which Lisa interpreted as meaning "an uncool sort of way". (COMIC: The Fractures)

The Oracle described the Twelfth Doctor as "a man of taste and discrimination," (PROSE: The Blood Cell) while Orestes Milton believed the Doctor "affect[ed] an air of ignorance and indifference, but beneath it [were] undercurrents of knowledge and curiosity". (PROSE: Silhouette) Perkins noted his inability to decide whether the Doctor was a genius "or just incredibly arrogant". (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express) Danny Pink, in complete bitterness for his need to feel the pain he inflicted, compared the Doctor to a "blood-soaked old general". (TV: Death in Heaven) Ashildr considered the Doctor to be a "passionate and powerful Time Lord". (TV: Hell Bent)

Regeneration
Much as his tenth incarnation expressed, the Twelfth Doctor associated regeneration with death, recalling Snowcap as "the place where he died". He viewed the process as "huge, [and] terrible", with his self-preservation preventing his memories of the experience from consuming him. (COMIC: Blood and Ice) He also believed that regeneration was to be used only when completely necessary, and to use it to fix a broken toe was "a waste of a life". (PROSE: The Blood Cell) Despite his beliefs, he was willing to force a fellow Time Lord to regenerate if he had to. (TV: Hell Bent)

When faced with the prospect of dying without regenerating while facing the Fisher King, the Doctor, though initially appearing distraught, quickly dismissed any concern, saying that he "had a good innings", and labelling himself a mere "clerical error" of a regeneration, telling Clara that "we all have to face death eventually, be it ours or someone else's." (TV: Before the Flood) When cornered by the Veil, the Doctor admitted that he was afraid of dying, (TV: Heaven Sent) but was unafraid to sacrifice himself for the greater good. (TV: The Pyramid at the End of the World, The Doctor Falls)

The Twelfth Doctor became even more distasteful of regenerating as time past. After the regeneration progress was triggered by an attack from a Mondasian Cyberman, the Doctor, angry at the idea of constantly "being other people", only allowed his regeneration energy to heal the wounds he suffered on the Mondasian colony ship. (TV: The Doctor Falls)

12 Habits and quirks
Much like his seventh incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor spoke with a Scottish accent, (TV: Deep Breath) which was noted by Bernice Summerfield to be Glaswegian in contrast to the Seventh Doctor's Highlands one. (PROSE: Big Bang Generation) He took his Scottish accent as an entitlement to complain about things, (TV: Deep Breath) and found attractive in others. (TV: Last Christmas) With his accent, he was prone to making subtle or climactic boasts and threats. (TV: Deep Breath, Into the Dalek, Robot of Sherwood, Mummy on the Orient Express, Flatline, Death in Heaven, The Witch's Familiar, Before the Flood, The Girl Who Died, Face the Raven, Heaven Sent, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, Oxygen, Extremis, The Pyramid at the End of the World, The Lie of the Land, The Doctor Falls, Twice Upon a Time) However, when truly angered, the Doctor would hiss with quiet rage instead of shouting. (TV: Death in Heaven, The Witch's Familiar, The Girl Who Died, Face the Raven, Hell Bent, The Doctor Falls)

When proposing a theory or plan, the Doctor would use words such as "question", "proposition" or "proposal", and would begin his conclusion with "answer", "conjecture", "conclusion" or "plan". (TV: Deep Breath, Listen, Time Heist, The Witch's Familiar, Thin Ice) After working out the important questions and the answers in his head, he waited for others to come to the same conclusion, becoming increasingly annoyed with each wrong question or answer they proposed. (TV: Deep Breath, In the Forest of the Night, Last Christmas, Under the Lake, Sleep No More) He was also known for his soliloquies (TV: Listen, Heaven Sent, The Pilot, Smile, Oxygen, The Pyramid at the End of the World, Twice Upon a Time) and speeches that aimed to educate people for the better. (TV: Into the Dalek, Kill the Moon, The Woman Who Lived, The Zygon Inversion, Thin Ice, Knock Knock, The Doctor Falls)

When in a moment of realisation or thinking intensely, the Doctor would often tell people to "shut up/it", regardless if others would be speaking or not. (TV: Deep Breath, Time Heist, Face the Raven, The Pilot) He would also issue the instruction to those who had earned his ire, regardless of their status, occupation or how petty the ire was, (TV: Robot of Sherwood, The Caretaker, Death in Heaven, Last Christmas, The Return of Doctor Mysterio) and when he wished to avoid a subject of conversation. (TV: Dark Water, Death in Heaven, The Pilot, World Enough and Time) When instructed someone to pay attention, the Doctor would command them to "listen". (TV: Listen, Time Heist, The Caretaker, Flatline, The Zygon Invasion, The Zygon Inversion, The Doctor Falls)

The Doctor made a habit of assigning nicknames to others, giving them names based on their appearance, by an accessory they carried or by their profession, (TV: Deep Breath, Into the Dalek, The Caretaker) owing to the fact he often chose to forget people, (TV: Last Christmas) or didn't have time to remember individual names, (TV: The Girl Who Died) and would insist on addressing them as their nickname, such as calling Danny Pink "P.E.", despite Danny being a Maths teacher, due to seeing him as more of a PE teacher than Maths, (TV: The Caretaker, In the Forest of the Night, Death in Heaven) though he dropped the nickname after Danny died. (TV: Dark Water, Last Christmas) He also continued to address Rigsy as "Local Knowledge" when he was standing in front of him, (TV: Flatline) and when they reunited years later, only dropping the nickname when he learned Rigsy would die. (TV: Face the Raven)

During his early life, the Twelfth Doctor would often accuse things, even other people, of developing faults, errors and malfunctions when he didn't think they were working the way he though they were meant to, (TV: Deep Breath, The Caretaker, Mummy on the Orient Express, Dark Water) and, like the Ninth Doctor labeling humanity as "stupid apes", he would call them "pudding-brains", or "pudding head", when he found them slow-minded or stupid. (TV: Deep Breath, Robot of Sherwood, Flatline)

Like his ninth and eleventh incarnations, the Doctor often used "hell" as an intensive, (TV: The Girl Who Died, The Zygon Inversion, Face the Raven, Hell Bent, The Pilot, Oxygen, Extremis, The Pyramid at the End of the World, Empress of Mars, The Eaters of Light) and spoke the name of "God" in vain. (TV: Last Christmas, Under the Lake, The Girl Who Died, The Zygon Inversion, Face the Raven, The Husbands of River Song, The Doctor Falls)

The Doctor often made puns, (TV: Into the Dalek, Kill the Moon, Flatline, The Magician's Apprentice, The Witch's Familiar, The Zygon Inversion, The Husbands of River Song, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, Twice Upon a Time) though hypocritically would complain about others making them. (TV: The Woman Who Lived) He was also known to quote media, (TV: Deep Breath, Death in Heaven, The Zygon Inversion, The Pyramid at the End of the World) literature, (TV: The Caretaker, In the Forest of the Night, The Woman Who Lived, Sleep No More, The Husbands of River Song, Oxygen) and song lyrics. (TV: The Caretaker, The Magician's Apprentice, Sleep No More, The Husbands of River Song)

Like his fourth incarnation, the Doctor would talk aloud to himself, (TV: Listen, Mummy on the Orient Express, Under the Lake, Heaven Sent, The Pyramid at the End of the World, Twice Upon a Time) and was even known to act like his was interacting with someone when there was no evidence of him having company. (TV: Deep Breath, Before the Flood) He also utilised a yo-yo on occasion. (TV: Kill the Moon, The Girl Who Died, Oxygen)

Much like his predecessor, the Twelfth Doctor also used hand gestures to extenuate a point, but applied more dedication to his movements, standing firm, while speaking with conviction, and punctuating his points across with a pointed index finger, though would become more spontaneous when thinking intensely. (TV: Time Heist) Commonly, he would stick out his index and baby fingers with his thumb, and lower his middle and ring fingers. (TV: Deep Breath, Into the Dalek, Listen, Time Heist, The Caretaker, Kill the Moon, In the Forest of the Night, Dark Water, Last Christmas, The Doctor's Meditation, The Magician's Apprentice, The Witch's Familiar, Under the Lake, Before the Flood, Face the Raven, Hell Bent, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, Thin Ice, Knock Knock, Oxygen, The Pyramid at the End of the World)

He was also known to bite down on his hand, (TV: Deep Breath, Into the Dalek, Mummy on the Orient Express, In the Forest of the Night, Under the Lake, Before the Flood, The Zygon Inversion) tap his teeth with his finger, (TV: Kill the Moon, In the Forest of the Night, Last Christmas, The Girl Who Died, The Woman Who Lived, Hell Bent, Oxygen, The Lie of the Land, The Eaters of Light) or cradle his chin in his hand when thinking, (TV: Listen, Kill the Moon, Mummy on the Orient Express, The Witch's Familiar, The Girl Who Died, Hell Bent, Smile, Empress of Mars) gesture by turning his hand with his fingers together and thumb stuck out, (TV: Deep Breath, Into the Dalek, The Caretaker, The Doctor's Meditation, The Girl Who Died, The Woman Who Lived, The Zygon Invasion, Hell Bent, The Husbands of River Song, The Eaters of Light) and interlock his fingers when explaining or contemplating something. (TV: Deep Breath, Into the Dalek, Robot of Sherwood, Time Heist, The Caretaker, Kill the Moon, Mummy on the Orient Express, Flatline, Dark Water, Death in Heaven, Last Christmas, The Girl Who Died, The Zygon Invasion, The Zygon Inversion, Face the Raven, Heaven Sent, Hell Bent, The Husbands of River Song, The Pilot, The Lie of the Land, Empress of Mars)

Much like his previous incarnations, the Twelfth Doctor would often flick his coat back and have his hands in his pockets, (TV: Deep Breath, Into the Dalek, The Caretaker, Dark Water, Death in Heaven, Last Christmas, Under the Lake, Before the Flood, The Girl Who Died, The Woman Who Lived, The Zygon Inversion, Sleep No More, Heaven Sent, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, The Pilot, Smile, Knock Knock, The Lie of the Land, The Eaters of Light, World Enough and Time) and, like his second incarnation, often wringed his hands together, (TV: Into the Dalek, Listen, The Caretaker, Kill the Moon, Mummy on the Orient Express, Flatline, In the Forest of the Night, Last Christmas, The Doctor's Meditation, The Witch's Familiar, Under the Lake, Before the Flood, The Girl Who Died, The Woman Who Lived, The Zygon Inversion, Face the Raven, Heaven Sent, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, The Pilot, Smile, Thin Ice, Oxygen, The Eaters of Light) or hold his thumb in his hand. (TV: Deep Breath, Listen, The Caretaker, Mummy on the Orient Express, In the Forest of the Night, Under the Lake, The Zygon Inversion, The Husbands of River Song, The Pilot)

He also occasionally folded his arms like his ninth incarnation, (TV: Into the Dalek, Listen, The Caretaker, Dark Water, The Girl Who Died, The Husbands of River Song, Empress of Mars) would rest his hands on his hips like his third incarnation, (TV: The Caretaker, Mummy on the Orient Express, Flatline, Death in Heaven, The Witch's Familiar, Sleep No More, Heaven Sent, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, Thin Ice, Empress of Mars) or hold his arms behind his back like his war incarnation. (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express, Last Christmas, Under the Lake, The Woman Who Lived, The Zygon Invasion, The Zygon Inversion, For Tonight We Might Die, Smile, Thin Ice, Oxygen, The Pyramid at the End of the World, The Eaters of Light, Twice Upon a Time)

Upon seeing a vase of picked flowers, the Doctor would grab a few and smell them, holding them right up to his nose, (TV: Deep Breath, Death in Heaven, Heaven Sent) and, when brooding, he would lean his face into his right head as he looked downwards while pulling at his face. (TV: Into the Dalek, In the Forest of the Night, Dark Water, Death in Heaven, The Zygon Inversion, Oxygen)

Much like his fourth and ninth incarnations, the Twelfth Doctor would grin when he was pleased or amused, flashing his upper teeth as he smiled. (TV: Deep Breath, Listen, Time Heist, The Caretaker, Kill the Moon, Mummy on the Orient Express, Death in Heaven, Last Christmas, The Witch's Familiar, Under the Lake, The Girl Who Died, The Woman Who Lived, The Zygon Inversion, Face the Raven, Heaven Sent, The Husbands of River Song, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, The Pilot, Smile, Thin Ice, Knock Knock, Oxygen, The Pyramid at the End of the World, The Lie of the Land, Empress of Mars, The Eaters of Light, The Doctor Falls, Twice Upon a Time)

Something of a foodie, the Twelfth Doctor would snack upon food and drink during his adventures. (TV: Deep Breath, Robot of Sherwood, Listen, Death in Heaven, Heaven Sent, Hell Bent, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, Knock Knock, World Enough and Time, Twice Upon a Time) Unlike his first and eleventh incarnations, he had a tolerance for alcoholic beverages, (TV: Deep Breath, Mummy on the Orient Express) and, much like his third and eighth incarnations, took his tea with extra sugar. (TV: Death in Heaven)

When not out adventuring, the Doctor could be found jotting down equations and theories on various chalkboards in the TARDIS console room, (TV: Robot of Sherwood, Listen) or on hard surfaces that could bear chalk markings. (TV: Deep Breath, The Doctor's Meditation) He also employed a chalkboard in his lectures at St Luke's University. (TV: The Pilot, Oxygen)

He kept a spare sonic screwdriver in case something happened to his first. (PROSE: Big Bang Generation) Even after he discarded his old screwdriver for a pair of sonic sunglasses, (TV: The Magician's Apprentice, The Witch's Familiar) he still carried a model of his screwdriver to use on the odd occasion, (COMIC: The Ministry of Time, The Dragon Lord) after Clara returned one of his old spares to him. (COMIC: Clara Oswald and the School of Death) After receiving a new sonic screwdriver, he began to use them in conjunction with the sonic sunglasses. (TV: The Husbands of River Song)

12 Skills
Highly observant, the Doctor was able to point out certain individuals in a crowd, (TV: Deep Breath, The Magician's Apprentice, The Woman Who Lived, The Pilot) notice suspicious activity, (TV: Deep Breath, Dark Water, Smile, Thin Ice) and pick up on details that helped him unearth others' deceptions and plans. (TV: Listen, The Return of Doctor Mysterio, Thin Ice) However, when his attention was focused or he relied too much on his technology, certain things around him would go amiss. (TV: Dark Water, Sleep No More, Smile, Knock Knock, Twice Upon a Time) Being a Time Lord, the Doctor could also detect when a light shield aura was near him, (TV: The Caretaker) and was also able to fiddle with equipment and pilot the TARDIS while completely blind. (TV: Oxygen)

He was also able to make accurate deductions from observing his surroundings, identifying the Aristotle as a medical ship within seconds of being on board, (TV: Into the Dalek) noticing that Orestes Milton was a time traveller due to his choice of words, (PROSE: Silhouette) solving the riddle of the Foretold within sixty-six seconds, (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express) calculating a length of time by placing his finger in a cup of coffee, (TV: Under the Lake) and easily saw through the ruse of a conman's coin trick. (TV: Thin Ice) He could also correctly deduce others' histories and how they felt in their environments from sheer observation. (PROSE: Silhouette; TV: Mummy on the Orient Express)

Like his previous incarnations, the Twelfth Doctor also displayed telepathic abilities, being able to link his mind with Rusty to show him the beauty of the universe, (TV: Into the Dalek) clear the Governor's thoughts by tapping him on the head, telepathically communicate with Marianne Globus by placing his hands on her template, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) put Rupert Pink to sleep by placing his index finger on his forehead, editing his memories while he did so, (TV: Listen) put Clara through a telepathic scenario with the aid of a sleep patch, (TV: Dark Water) send a sedated Clara messages on blackboards by holding her hand, (TV: Last Christmas) establish a psychic link with a door to unlock it, (TV: Heaven Sent) and leave a message in Bill Potts's subconscious from a small distance. (TV: World Enough and Time) He was also prepared to "mind wipe" Bill until she persuaded him not to. (TV: The Pilot)

The Doctor could not only perform eye-fixation hypnotism with verbal commands, but he claimed that, as a Time Lord, he could perform hypnosis that effected all the senses. (COMIC: Trust) He also threatened to use hypnotism to erase Danny Pink's memory of the Skovox Blitzer, (TV: The Caretaker) and was able to free a bunch of soldiers from the Monk's hypnotic control. (TV: The Lie of the Land)

The twelfth incarnation retained his predecessor's ability to converse with other species, such as dinosaurs, horses, (TV: Deep Breath) donkeys, (PROSE: All the Empty Towers) and babies. (TV: The Girl Who Died) Though he claimed his knowledge of British Sign Language had been replaced with semaphore, he was still capable of signing, just not knowing what he had signed translated into. (TV: Under the Lake) The Doctor also had a good sense of smell, which he used to assess his surroundings to deduce the time period he was in, (COMIC: The Swords of Kali) which he could also do by putting his finger in the wind. (TV: Before the Flood, Sleep No More)

Strong and durable, the Doctor was able to briefly support his own weight, (TV: Deep Breath, Listen) withstand several blows from Abesse, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) upstage Michael Smith by easily holding two baskets of rocks, (PROSE: Silhouette) force a door open with his shoulder, (PROSE: The Crawling Terror) smash up the TARDIS console with his bare hands in a grief-stricken rage, (TV: Death in Heaven) slam a door shut in a struggle with the Veil, (TV: Heaven Sent) and lift Bill from the Thames onto a ledge singlehandedly. (TV: Thin Ice) He was also capable of repeatedly striking a wall of Azbantium with his fists, even after breaking every bone in his hand, and was still able to use said hand to pull a lever afterwards. (TV: Heaven Sent)

Similar to his ninth incarnation, the Doctor was a capable fighter, managing to wrestle the Half-Face Man into a corner, (TV: Deep Breath) stun the General with a single punch to the face, (TV: Hell Bent) knock down Lord Sutcliffe by striking his face, (TV: Thin Ice) and briefly hold his own against. (TV: The Doctor Falls) He was also skilled in Venusian aikido, using it to disarm a distracted Robin Hood, (TV: Robot of Sherwood) defend himself from Abesse (PROSE: The Blood Cell) and flip Jorj to the ground. (TV: World Enough and Time) Even without his Venusian aikido, the Doctor proved to be skilled in unarmed combat, (TV: Deep Breath; COMIC: The Swords of Kali) feeling proficient enough in melee combat to willingly volunteer to hold back the light-eating locusts for as long as he lived. (TV: The Eaters of Light) Such prowess caused both the Half-Face Man and Kali to remark that the Doctor was "stronger than [he] look[ed]." (TV: Deep Breath; COMIC: The Swords of Kali) He also possessed lightning-fast reflexes, (PROSE: The Crawling Terror) notably able to snatch the sonic screwdriver back from Spider's wrist before he was devoured, (TV: Thin Ice) and discreetly change the codes on the Master's computer in a matter of seconds without the Master or Missy noticing. (TV: The Doctor Falls)

Like several of his predecessors, the Twelfth Doctor was a highly proficient swordsman, able to best Robin Hood in a duel using a spoon, (TV: Robot of Sherwood) take on Kali's three swords with a single blade, (COMIC: The Swords of Kali) and reportedly bested Bors' broadsword with a daffodil. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) He was also proficient with a Gunstick, shooting several Handmines from a distance while also avoiding hitting Davros. (TV: The Witch's Familiar)

The Twelfth Doctor was an excellent player of the electric guitar and could play with extreme confidence. Not only was he was able to play "Pretty Woman", (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) Beethoven's "fifth symphony", (TV: Before the Flood) "Wish You Were Here", (TV: The Woman Who Lived) and "Amazing Grace", (TV: The Zygon Invasion) he was also able to improvise his own tunes, (TV: The Magician's Apprentice, The Pyramid at the End of the World) such as one entitled "Clara". (TV: Hell Bent) He was proficient enough to join the Space Pirates on stage, (COMIC: The Twist) and keep up with Hattie Munroe when playing alongside her for enjoyment. (COMIC: Playing House)

Despite initially forgetting how to pilot his TARDIS due to post-regenerative trauma, (TV: The Time of the Doctor) the Doctor soon mastered his way around the TARDIS console, though admitted to Bill Potts that he mostly negotiated with the TARDIS when it came to "steer[ing]". (TV: Smile) When in control, the Doctor was able to save Journey Blue by piloting the TARDIS around her before her ship exploded, (TV: Into the Dalek) materialise around Clara while she was drifting in space, (TV: The Girl Who Died) and, with some difficulty, slowly fly the TARDIS above London. (TV: Face the Raven) He was also able to use the First Doctor's TARDIS control console with ease, (TV: Twice Upon a Time) and successfully returned Clara home in time for her dates, (TV: Listen, Time Heist, The Caretaker) though still made the occasional slip in timing and location. (TV: Deep Breath, Into the Dalek, Kill the Moon, Death in Heaven, Smile) He could also ride a horse, even when in a delirious post-regenerative state. (TV: Deep Breath, The Woman Who Lived)

Despite believing his current incarnation to not be suited to the task, (PROSE: Silhouette) the Doctor proved to have a talent for holding a crowds' attention, (TV: The Pilot, Smile, Oxygen) having a strong sense of showmanship, (TV: The Magician's Apprentice, The Husbands of River Song) and quick comedic timing. (TV: The Woman Who Lived) Believing himself to be a good magician, (TV: The Doctor's Meditation) the Doctor could hide objects in others' pockets, (PROSE: Silhouette) disappear when people were looking away, (TV: Listen, The Pilot) swipe things without detection, (TV: Listen, Thin Ice) perform hat tricks, (TV: Thin Ice) and also practised coin magic. (TV: The Doctor's Meditation) He was also able to swipe the General's sidearm before the General could regain his senses from being punched, (TV: Hell Bent) and carry a glass of water in his pockets on skill alone. (TV: The Return of Doctor Mysterio) After being thrown out of Boat One in an explosion, the Doctor was able to skydive towards his descending TARDIS, even fighting against the wind currents to place the TARDIS key into the lock. (TV: Death in Heaven)

A credited escapologist, (TV: The Girl Who Died) the Doctor boasted at teaching Harry Houdini "everything he [knew]", (COMIC: The Swords of Kali) and was repeatedly able to escape from his cell at the Prison. (PROSE: The Blood Cell) He was also a talented gambler, winning $800,000 in less than an hour, which he credited to simple mathematics, (COMIC: Gangland) and dancer, with Clara noting that he could apply for Strictly Come Dancing. (COMIC: Trust) His performing abilities extended into acting, notably in how he fooled the Monks into believing that he wanted to assist them as a figurehead for their propaganda, even convincing Bill that was his agenda. (TV: The Lie of the Land)

Like his third incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor was a skilled inventor, being able to create an electron magnet and a sonic spoon in the Prison's craft workshop, (PROSE: The Blood Cell) a communication device to order a Skovox Blitzer to deactivate itself, (TV: The Caretaker) a 2Dis to combat the Boneless, (TV: Flatline) and rebuilding the TARDIS' radio into a clockwork squirrel. (TV: Under the Lake)

As cunning as his seventh incarnation, the Doctor was able to spin a fatal outcome into an advantage, such as using Ross's death to help him, Clara, Journey Blue and Gretchen Carlisle escape Rusty's antibodies, (TV: Into the Dalek) using the deaths of Emile Moorhouse and Captain Quell as an opportunity to figure out a way to defeat the Foretold, (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express) and even using his own death to help him escape his confession dial. (TV: Heaven Sent) He was also able to organise a bank heist to save the Teller and its mate, even erasing his planning of the heist to guarantee success. (TV: Time Heist)

Despite denying being a doctor of medicine, (PROSE: Silhouette) the Doctor possessed at least a limited medical knowledge, being able to resuscitate Lafcardio with artificial resuscitation after Lafcardio's lungs were filled up with soot, with the Governor noting that the Doctor worked on Lafcardio like an expert. (PROSE: The Blood Cell) He was also able to perform an accurate post-mortem on Michael Smith, (PROSE: Silhouette) and Alan Travers, (PROSE: The Crawling Terror) and attach a Lothan prosthetic leg to Ram Singh. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)

Similar to his ninth incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor could slow down his perception of time; in this case by locking himself in a secure location in his mind, embodied as his TARDIS control room with his companion present, where he could take the time to reevaluate the predicament he was in to his companion and find a way out of it. (TV: Heaven Sent)

Similar to his tenth incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor had a measure of control over his regeneration energy, being able to summon a small amount for Davros, (TV: The Witch's Familiar) and fake a regeneration to fool Bill. (TV: The Lie of the Land) After being electrocuted by a Mondasian Cyberman, he managed to resist regenerating for two weeks, though was unable to walk properly without assistance for periods of time. Even as his regenerative process instinctively triggered itself after he was further damaged by another Mondasien Cyberman's energy blaster and the destruction of Floor 0507, the Doctor forced it back further despite the strain it placed on him, almost regenerating completely. (TV: The Doctor Falls) He managed to hold it back for several more hours until he was convinced to regenerate by the Testimony. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)

Personality
Though he had previously preferred a male form, (PROSE: The Novel of the Film) the Master was indifferent when he learnt he would regenerate into a woman, (TV: The Doctor Falls) and, fully embracing her new gender, the Master changed her title to "Mistress", shortening it to "Missy". Considering herself to be "old fashioned", insisted on being addressed as Time Lady, (TV: Dark Water, The Witch's Familiar) while nicknaming herself the "Queen of Evil". (TV: Death in Heaven) She also adopted a Scottish accent, claiming she would keep it after taking a liking to the Twelfth Doctor's accent, (TV: Deep Breath) occasionally utilising other accents when she felt the need. (TV: Death in Heaven, The Witch's Familiar)

No longer choosing to hide behind a rational persona, Missy openly described herself as "bananas", but took offence when Danny Pink called her a "lunatic". (TV: Death in Heaven) She also displayed tendencies of being a show-off, such as when vastly enlarging her face on a UNIT monitor in a comical manner to show UNIT than she could, (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) and enjoyed having information that others did not, such as having knowledge of the Doctor's past that others could not argue with. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice, World Enough and Time)

Though she adopted a bubblier personality with a welcoming and sociable façade, (TV: Deep Breath, Into the Dalek, Dark Water, Death in Heaven) and more choreographic movements, (TV: Deep Breath, Dark Water, Death in Heaven, The Witch's Familiar, World Enough and Time) Missy was more open about her loneliness, and willingly to show when she was afraid and remorseful. (TV: Death in Heaven, The Magician's Apprentice, The Lie of the Land, The Eaters of Light)

Believing that the Doctor's saving of Gallifrey was meant to rescue only her, (TV: Death in Heaven) Missy's affection for the Doctor became more conspicuous, telling the Half-Face Man that, while the Doctor could be mean to others, he would not be with her because he "loved [her] so much". She openly referred to him as her "boyfriend", (TV: Deep Breath) tracked his movements across time and space, (TV: Flatline, In the Forest of the Night, Death in Heaven) and mockingly professed that her hearts "belonged to [the Doctor]" after passionately kissing him. (TV: Dark Water) Despite these implications of their relationship being romantic, Missy adamantly denied that she loved the Doctor, even showing disgust at the thought, insisting it to be a complicated friendship, though expressed jealous irritation when the Doctor called Davros his "arch-enemy", (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) and would become upset and querulous when he did not show interest in her plans. (COMIC: The Five Masters; PROSE: Dr. Twelfth)

Viewing everything as being born to die, Missy held no regrets when it came to murder, describing her urge to kill as akin to a child wanting to pop a balloon, (TV: Death in Heaven) and having a preference for killing "clever-clogs" because they "[made] the best faces". (TV: The Witch's Familiar) When building up to a murder, Missy would insist that her victim "say something nice" to her, and would wait patiently for them to reply. (TV: Dark Water, Death in Heaven, The Magician's Apprentice) She also insisted that anyone aiming to kill her do the same with her, (TV: Death in Heaven) and would take offence if a threat to kill her was not carried out. (TV: The Witch's Familiar)

Missy retained her predecessors' sadistic tendencies, demonstrating cruel pleasure at taunting her victims before she killed them, such as telling Dr. Chang she would miss him and promising to always keep a picture of him "looking so sweet" before she murdered him. (TV: Dark Water) She also encouraged Osgood to have more self-confidence, while counting down to her death to torment her. However, she atomised Seb without a second glance for no reason other than that the AI was annoying her. (TV: Death in Heaven) Missy also held no respect for the dead, using dead human bodies to create a Cyberman army, (TV: Dark Water) as well as crushing Osgood's glasses under her heel while posthumously thanking her for being "yummy". (TV: Death in Heaven)

Missy could be needlessly cruel in her interactions with others, such as taunting Clara Oswald about her dead boyfriend, (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) and pushing Clara down a hole to test its depth. (TV: The Witch's Familiar) She also ordered the death of Belgians for no reason, (TV: Death in Heaven) vaporised UNIT personnel to prove she had "not gone good," (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) and was believed by Ashildr to have united Clara and the Doctor together just to see what chaos would result from their clashing personalities. (TV: Hell Bent) However, when Missy learnt that the Doctor had departed Darillium to leave River Song to her fate, she offered her sincere condolences for his loss. (TV: Extremis)

During her imprisonment in the vault, Missy went "cold turkey" on being evil as the Doctor tried to rehabilitate her into being good, which first worked to the extent that she grew remorseful for all the people she had murdered, (TV: The Lie of the Land) and then to the point that Nardole trusted her enough to retrieve the Doctor and Bill from Mars, (TV: Empress of Mars) which in turn resulted in the Doctor trusting she enough to do "maintenance" on his TARDIS. (TV: The Eaters of Light)

Though she continued to show progress with her rehabilitation and made an effort to do good on the Mondasian colony ship, when she was approached by her past incarnation, she relapsed back to being evil by allying with him, (TV: World Enough and Time) but continued to be conflicted with her allegiance, admitting to the Doctor that she was "in two minds" about what she wanted. However, after being moved by the Doctor's speech on kindness and request for her help, Missy stabbed her past incarnation so that he would regenerate into her and she could stand with the Doctor, only for the Master to shoot her beyond regeneration, leading to her death, though she shared the amusement in her "perfect ending" being shot in the back by her past incarnation. (TV: The Doctor Falls)

Missy showed a liking for singing, substituting her name in with "Mickey" in the song "Mickey" while in UNIT custody, and singing a verse from "Happy Birthday, Mr President" when giving the Doctor control of a Cyberman army. (TV: Death in Heaven) She pulled a similar stunt involving "Mickey" lyrics via text communication when she announced her presence to UNIT by halting all aeroplane traffic, and, when imprisoned by Colony Sarff, she passed the time by partaking in opera singing. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) Missy was also good at playing the piano, and passed her time in the vault playing Für Elise, Pop Goes The Weasel, (TV: Knock Knock) and The Entertainer. (TV: The Lie of the Land)

Missy was a devious planner and skilled manipulator, able to manoeuvre others into place with ease by exploiting their desires. (TV: Death in Heaven) While trapped on Skaro with Clara Oswald, Missy demonstrated fluid planning as her desires changed from wanting to ally with the Daleks, (TV: The Magician's Apprentice) to wanting to help the Doctor, to then wanting the Doctor to unintentionally kill Clara. (TV: The Witch's Familiar) She was also a convincing liar, especially when using her talent for manipulative reasons. (TV: Dark Water, Death in Heaven) However, Missy would often opted for one solitary scheme with virtually no contingencies or back-up plans in place to help steer events back towards her favour like her previous incarnations employed, instead opting to give the Doctor false hope of reaching Gallifrey after she was beaten, (TV: Death in Heaven) and walking away with nothing but taunts to say when the Doctor didn't kill Clara. (TV: The Witch's Familiar)

Sharing the Doctor's observational skills, Missy could tell a man she had killed was a married father by the ring on his finger and the detection of "baby leakage" on his jacket. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice)

Clothes
In her female incarnation, the Mistress looked like a mature woman with pronounced cheek bones, and light blue eyes. Her black hair was wild and free, but held in place in an up-do. She also adopted a Scottish accent like the Twelfth Doctor's. (TV: Deep Breath) Her immediate predecessor admitted to finding her attractive and wondered if it was wrong to do so, which Missy believed was. (TV: The Doctor Falls)

Fashioning herself in Victorian-styled garb, Missy wore a starched collared blouse (TV: Deep Breath) with cameo brooch made of Dark star alloy under her throat, (TV: The Witch's Familiar) along with a high waisted skirt that cut to ankle length, and a croak lengthen jacket which puffed up at the shoulders and dark lapels. She also wore black ankle boots with a sharp toe and tapered heels. Completing the ensemble was a black boater hat worn at a rakish angle, with an arrangement of black and red berries on the brim and a black veil over the top. For further accessories, Missy wore a spiked bracelet on her left wrist, carried around a black umbrella, and wore two rings on her right hand, and one ring on her left hand. Missy varied the colours of her clothes, with the design coming in black, (TV: Deep Breath) bottle green, (TV: Into the Dalek) a shade of dark orange, (TV: The Caretaker) plum, (TV: Flatline, In the Forest of the Night) and violet. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice)

During her imprisonment in the Vault, Missy's hair grew longer and messier, and she changes her clothing style. (TV: The Lie of the Land)
