Rita (The God Complex)

Rita was a medical student who was abducted as her shift was starting and brought abroad the Prison Ship. She was quite astute, quickly diagnosing a situation based on her observations. The Doctor quickly took a liking to her upon meeting her, noting how clever she was, joking to Amy that she was "fired".

Rita was a devout Muslim, believing the hotel was Jahannam (the Muslim version of Hell), however joking with the Doctor not to be afraid as she was not an extremist. She was extremely observant, citing the Doctor had a God Complex. Her admirable qualities eventually lead the Doctor to promise that he would take her travelling through time and space as he had done with Amy and Rory.

Unfortunately, Rita had already become the the third human the Doctor encountered to be possessed by the Minotaur, following Joe Buchanan and Howie Spragg. Earlier, while running for the Minotaur with Joe she had encountered her room. Her fear was revealed to be her father, a medical Doctor whose constant breating over her grades scared Rita and caused her to feel deep shame.

She hid her devotions to the Minotaur from the Doctor and the others, eventually seperating herself from them in an attempt to save them. She knew the Doctor would attempt to sacrifice himself for her and did not wish for him to die. She pleaded with the Doctor to turn off the camera before she died, to remember her as she was, before her faith was robbed from her.

After her death the Doctor was overcome with rage and grief, tearing apart the front desk of the hotel. Her death eventually caused the Doctor to realize that the Minotaur did not feed on their fears, but instead on the faith they fall back on when faced with fear. That knowledge eventually allows the Doctor to rob the Minotaur of it's food supply and save the survivors. (DW: The God Complex)
