Alice Obiefune

Alice Uwaebuka Obiefune was a British library assistant. She met the Eleventh Doctor a month after her mother died while he was chasing a Kharitite through the streets of London. (COMIC: After Life)

Early life
Alice was born to Ada Obiefune. As an adult she worked as a library assistant, often helping people who had been turned away by the Department for Work and Pensions and reading books to children during storytime. In 2014, prior to the month of August, her mother passed away and gradually her life began to fall apart: she lost her job to cutbacks, her landlord evicted her, and her friend moved away.

Meeting the Eleventh Doctor
Alice was dejectedly walking down the sidewalk one morning when a Kharitite ran past her through the street, causing traffic jams as it was chased by Eleventh Doctor. The Doctor noted that Alice was staring at them as they ran by and he called out for her assistance in chasing the "rainbow dog." Alice initially mistook the Kharitite's feeding tube for a tail and unwittingly offended the Doctor by referring to it as a "weird alien." Just as the Doctor was about to grab the Kharitite, he ran face first into a light pole and fall down with a bloody nose. She helped him up and offered him a tissue, but before she could ask him questions he walked around the corner and disappeared.

That night Alice went home with a new resolve to fix her life. During a phone call to Citizen's Advice about legally fighting her landlord's eviction the TARDIS appeared in her flat and the Doctor stepped out to reintroduce himself. The Doctor made them tea, they sat down, and Alice explained all her problems to him and was grateful to have someone who was just willing to listen to her. Afterward, the Doctor asked Alice if she would be interested in resuming her efforts to help him catch the "rainbow dog" and then handed her a TARDIS key. Although the Doctor expected her to notice the fact that the TARDIS was bigger on the inside, the first thing she remarked on was the fact that the Console room was upside down. The Doctor explained that the TARDIS was "not as young as she used to be." After fixing the gravity issue Alice was overcome with emotion, wishing that her mother could be there with her to see the TARDIS. The Doctor then offered to take her to the swimming pool to cheer her up. Talking with the Doctor and meeting his aquatic alien friends in the pool helped to calm Alice down and once they began talking about the origins of the Kharitite, Alice suggested that because it fed on negative emotions, the Kharitite would go to the House of Commons.

At the House of Commons, Alice and the Doctor found that the Kharitite was growing in size as it consumed the negative emotions of the people inside. Due to Alice's own grief, she was able to lure the empathy beast outside to the front of the building where UNIT was waiting to disintegrate the creature. Alice stepped in front of the creature and refused to get out of the way in spite of the UNIT soldiers' threats to disintegrate her too. As she was talking, the TARDIS arrived behind her and a giant squid walked out of the doors, followed by the Doctor. She noted that the Kharitite shrank when the squid embraced it and the Doctor explained to her that the squid was the Kharitite's adolescent owner. After returning to the TARDIS with the alien creatures, the Doctor asked Alice where she wanted to go. Initially she wanted to return to her flat to talk to her landlord, but the Doctor promised her there was time for that later, so she decided that she wanted her first trip to be somewhere that her mother would have enjoyed.

First new planet
Rokhandi was the first planet the Doctor took Alice to with the intent to show her the untouched beauty of its diamond hummingbirds and singing canyons. However, upon arrival they discovered the planet had been decimated in order to build factories and the Rokhandi World theme park. Alice found the Target Happy shooting gallery game and won the Doctor a pig plushie, but was frustrated to find him still sulking about not landing earlier in the planet's history while she was trying to have a good time.

After scolding the Doctor for his rude behavior to the park employees, they noticed that nobody in the park ever acted out. She watched the Doctor misbehave on purpose to see what would happen and when a park employee led him away, she took a gun from the Target Happy booth and followed them, coming to the Doctor's aid when three employees attempted to feed him to the Entity. Her plan was interrupted when August Hart and his security detail walked in behind her and captured both her and the Doctor. Following the Doctor's defeat of the entity and the return of its victims' memories, she and returned to the TARDIS, joking that theme parks weren't theme parks without vomit.

Professor Dutta
Later in her timeline, Alice used the alias "Professor Dutta" while on the phone with a man who described Rokhandi as a disaster area. When he asked about good news, she explained to him that by destroying the portion of the Entity on Rokhandi, it had done something to the remainder of the Entity. (COMIC: The Friendly Place)

Personality
As a library assistant, Alice had to help a variety of people with a variety of problems and therefore honed skills in kindness and patience. (COMIC: After Life) Despite her patience, she was also forceful if the situation needed her to be. When she noticed the Doctor was being rude to the Rokhandi World employees she called him out on his behavior and pointed out that they were just trying to do their jobs, most likely for minimum wage like many of the people that she's helped at work, and that he should be more respectful of them and what they do. She was also quick to stand up to the Doctor when she felt he was treating her as an accessory or rudely refusing to acknowledge her job as a library assistant. (COMIC: The Friendly Place)
