Amazon (mythology)

One of the genetic configurations (PROSE: Original Sin) considered and rejected for Romana I's regeneration into Romana II was described as "a towering Amazon with rich, red hair", wearing "a bizarre two-piece outfit covered by a long, see-through robe". Romana thought the Doctor would find this body "much too intimidating". (PROSE: The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe) By most accounts, the third body was a buxom woman with an elaborate outfit that revealed her midriff and included several necklaces, as well as a headdress hung with chains of gold rings. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks) By one account, however, this "exotic female of some alien race" was the fourth body tried. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks)
