Roanna Lockwood, née Roanna of Medrüth, was the last of the Medrüthians and the wife of Valarie Lockwood.
Biography[]
Early life[]
When she was a young child, Roanna was told a version of the Medrüthian creation myth, wherein one lonely entity split into many and populated the universe. She believed that everyone went on a journey and would "tread the circle" before being united after they die. (AUDIO: The Yearn)
Plagued by the Yearn[]
Roanna worked at a research and development lab which created containment units for star drives, however when the Yearn started to make the Medrüthians disappear, the lab instead focused it's efforts on researching weapons to combat the Yearn. One night, a research team discovered that Zelanor energy might disrupt what the Yearn were made of, but the next morning most of the team had disappeared. Roanna found herself one of three remaining survivors at the base, alongside Hoster and Wyler.
Meeting the Doctor and Valarie[]
Info from All's Fair needs to be added
Roanna encountered the Eleventh Doctor and Valarie Lockwood when they arrived at the base, to Hoster's immediate distrust. Roanna was immediately enamoured with Valarie and was tasked with keeping an eye on her while the Doctor was interviewed by Hoster and Wyler. She opened up to Valarie about her loneliness about being trapped on the base, and disagreed with Hoster's decision to lock the Doctor and Valarie in the cells. After bringing the pair a meal in their cell, she was absorbed by the Yearn. However she was returned the next morning as the space taken up by the TARDIS within the Yearn left her enable to be absorbed. She helped to convince Hoster that he should trust the Doctor's plan to trap one of the Yearn and she took first watch with Valarie, during which time they shared their first kiss. After the Yearn was defeated, the Doctor was interested in taking Roanna with them in the TARDIS, although Valarie thought it was unfair to ask her to. Roanna told Valarie that she would have taken up the offer had there not been so much rebuilding to do on Medrüth. They shared another kiss and parted ways. (AUDIO: The Yearn)
Roanna stayed in touch with Valarie after their meeting on Medrüth, and they spoke on the phone regularly. The Doctor planned to take Valarie back to Medrüth to visit her. (AUDIO: Broken Hearts)
Infected by the Surge[]
Valarie and Roanna had their first date at the World's Fair of 1893. They met a man named Hayden who claimed to be Valarie's husband, causing the couple much distress. They took him to the TARDIS, where he proved his credentials by showing a photo of his wedding, and explained he was head of the nearby Lockwood Foundation, and had been asked by Valarie to meet her on this day. Leaving the Doctor and Hayden to visit the Foundation, Roanna and Valarie rode the world's first Ferris wheel. Inside their carriage was Frank Garcia, an employee at the Foundation. Frank made clear that he'd assassinate Roanna before she could succumb to the Surge, a virus which mutated its victims into energy-hungry monsters. Prevented from doing so by Valarie, he himself mutated, chasing her and Roanna through the fairground before he was killed.
At the Lockwood Foundation, Roanna was shot by Hayden's assistant, a robot with the mind of Arabella Hendricks, then sent a decade into the past. Infected with the Surge, and a mutation triggered by the shooting, she rampaged through the city before being subdued by Hayden and Valarie, recently arrived, and from an alternate timeline. Soon, she was placed in a stasis pod which prevented her from mutating. She remained there for a decade, being released by Arabella. Before departing to meet her "benefactor", Arabella disconnected the alternate Valarie's own stasis pod—she'd been seriously injured by Roanna—and took a serum containing the Surge.
Yet again, Roanna went on a rampage, being brought to her senses with an energy regulator which kept her from being overwhelmed by her appetite. She, Valarie, the Doctor, and Hayden encountered the alternate Valarie, recently deceased. Clueless as to the truth about her origins, everyone assumed that Valarie would die in ten years. They travelled to Medrüth, with Roanna successfully inviting Hayden to research the Surge with her, and having sex with Valarie for the first time, after Valarie decided to make the most of what remained of their relationship. (AUDIO: All's Fair)
Stopping the New Dalek Paradigm[]
The Medrüthians learned that the New Dalek Paradigm planned to invade the universe, their planet included. Roanna sent a distress call to Valarie and the Doctor, and when it was answered, they, Hayden, Hoster, and Wyler plotted on how to protect the Medrüthians. Their best attempt, sending the Medrüthians to a silo containing ships which could get them off-planet, failed; the ships were destroyed by Dalek fire, killing Hoster and Wyler. (AUDIO: Daleks Victorious)
Roanna, the Doctor, and Roanna fled to a planet which had yet to be affected by the invasion. Roanna impulsively proposed to Valarie, who hesitantly accepted. Another version of the Doctor's TARDIS appeared, and the alternate Valarie walked out, distraught over having indirectly killed her mother by allowing Arabella's benefactor to give her the Darinthian Blight. After being comforted, she travelled to Chicago to meet Hayden, urging her other self, the Doctor, and Valarie to save "the entire goddamn universe." (AUDIO: The Last Stand of Miss Valarie Lockwood) This, they did by trapping the Daleks inside an Arkheion device acquired by the Doctor, then putting the New Dalek Paradigm through hellish situations as the Daleks' capacity for evil was drained away. Roanna goaded the Dalek Supreme and Strategist Dalek into shooting her, triggering her mutation, and putting them in danger. (AUDIO: Victory of the Doctor)
Helped by a slip-up from Valarie, the Daleks caught on to the trio's plan, breaking out of their simulations, and infusing the trio with concentrated evil. Roanna and Valarie became angry at the Doctor, deciding to beat him to death. They were talked down by the Doctor, who then told the Daleks, giddy at their victory, that they had merely escaped the first layer of their trap. He infected the Arkheion device with the Darinthian Blight, condemning every Dalek inside.
Roanna, Valarie, and the Doctor travelled to the beach planet of Pernia, where Roanna and Valarie were wed. Roanna stayed behind with Valarie, who wished to process her trauma. Before the Doctor departed to find Clara Oswald, Roanna said goodbye. (AUDIO: Victory of the Doctor)
Alternate timelines[]
In a timeline where the alternate Valarie never intervened, the Doctor was captured by the Daleks, then taken to their Parliament for execution. The planet was overrun, requiring Roanna and Valarie to fight their way to the TARDIS. Willingly triggering her mutation, Roanna attacked several Daleks, and covered for Valarie, absorbing a fatal amount of energy. (AUDIO: The Last Stand of Miss Valarie Lockwood)
Personality[]
Roanna was quiet and shy, especially compared to her boisterous girlfriend. She was touched by Valarie's kindness towards her, and quickly fell for her. Though she was something of a romantic, proposing to Valarie during the New Dalek Paradigm's invasion, (AUDIO: The Last Stand of Miss Valarie Lockwood) she also had a devious streak. In the timeline where the alternate Valarie never intervened, she took considerable pleasure in mutating to attack Daleks. (AUDIO: The Last Stand of Miss Valarie Lockwood)
Appearance[]
Roanna was a fair-skinned, freckled, blue-eyed woman. On at least one occasion, she wore her strawberry blonde hair in a ponytail, and donned small, gold-hooped earrings. (AUDIO: Everywhere and Anywhere)
