Penelope Gate

Penelope Gate was a human female who created a time machine.

Biography
The first time she successfully used her time machine she used a lightning strike to charge it up. She travelled to 1996 where she obtained a mutated Tzun battery, which she used to power her machine. Penelope once met the Doctor, who took her back to her own time of 1883. (NA: The Room With No Doors)

Later in her life she met Ulysses, whom she married and went to live with on Gallifrey. Unbeknownst to the High Council, they had a son - ironically, the very same Doctor who had interfered in her time-travelling career before.

Penelope and Ulysses became friends with Mr Saldaamir, whom they frequently went exploring with. Penelope, Saldaamir and Ulysses also associated themselves with Lady Larna, who was from their future.

When the Time Lord Marnal threatened to expose Penelope's and Ulysses's activities, they used his TARDIS' telepathic circuits to wipe his memory and dumped him on Earth in England, 1883, to board with Penelope's mother. (EDA: The Gallifrey Chronicles)


 * It was unknown what happened to Penelope after this point, but she was not with her husband when he became a renegade and went to live on Earth. (EDA: Unnatural History)
