Theory:Timeline - The Rani

This page lists appearances of The Rani in the order in which she experienced them.

Limiting factors
The Rani's order of appearance is determined by how characters experience, and refer to, the events she's involved in. For example, Peri tells the Sixth Doctor the last time they met the Rani she was trapped with a T. Rex (Something Borrowed) and the next time the Rani sees him she tells him she escaped her TARDIS. (State of Change) Both stories occur after this event, but indicate that the two Time Lords don't meet each other in the same order. This is reinforced by the appearance of a new Rani meeting the Sixth Doctor after encountering the Seventh.
