Anita (Silence in the Library)

Anita was one of the members of the crew that came to the Library. She was a human archaeologist from the 51st century.

When Miss Evangelista was killed and the crew listened to her Data Ghost, she recalled that of her grandfather, who kept talking about his shoelaces.

Along with Proper Dave and Other Dave she was taken over by the Vashta Nerada, but River Song and Strackman Lux thought that she was still alive because the Tenth Doctor turned the light off in her space helmet and she didn't keep repeating herself. She had however been eaten but the Tenth Doctor was aware of this because she only had one shadow and kept the knowledge to himself in order to use it against the Vashta Nerada.

In confronting the Suit Creature her body had become, the Doctor told it he really liked Anita, commenting ,"She was brave even when she was crying and she never gave in". Her death moved the Doctor to be more angry and forceful in his demands to the Vashta Nerada. (DW: Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead)
