Revision as of 21:29, 24 June 2008

Tegan Jovanka was, briefly, a companion of the Doctor during his fourth incarnation and for a longer length of time, his fifth incarnation.

Biography

Early life

Australian by birth, Tegan was born in the city of Brisbane on 22nd September 1960 (BFA:The Gathering). She moved to London and decided to pursue a career as an air stewardess (DW: Logopolis).

Travels with the Doctor

On 28th February 1981, Tegan was on route to Heathrow Aiport to start her new job with Air Australia with her aunt, Vanessa. She entered an apparent roadside police box on the Barnet Bypass to seek help, not knowing that it is actually a series of nested TARDISes including Doctor's and Master's. The Master, at that time, killed her aunt using his Tissue Compression Eliminator. She was present when the the Doctor fell from the Pharos Project radio telescope and regenerated into his fifth incarnation (DW: Logopolis).

After she joined the crew of the TARDIS by accident, the Doctor took her to several times and places in an effort to return her home. On the planet Deva Loka, Tegan was taken over by the Mara. (DW: Kinda) She was deeply upset by the death of Adric in Earthshock.

Tegan was left behind at Heathrow Airport in her home time due to a misunderstanding (DW:Time-Flight). Some time after, by which time she had lost her job with the airline, she returned to the TARDIS in the subsequent adventure while she had gone to Amsterdam to search for her lost cousin, Colin Fraser (DW: Arc of Infinity.

On Manussa, the Mara once more possessed her the Doctor once more defeated it, finally, he claimed (DW: Snakedance) Tegan regarded the TARDIS' newest occupant, Turlough with justified suspicion (DW: Mawdryn Undead, Terminus (TV story)). Nyssa's decision to stay on Terminus to care for the Lazars affected her emotionally (DW: Terminus). She had a brief romance with Marriner, an Eternal she realized had no less interest in her than in using her thoughts and feelings to live vicariously through her. During the same adventure, she saw Turlough turn away from evil and reject the Black Guardian (DW: Enlightenment (TV story)).

Eventually, the carnage surrounding the early phase of the Dalek civil war prove too much, and she bids an emotional good-bye to the Doctor and Turlough (who by this time had reformed) in 1984 London (DW: Resurrection of the Daleks).

Life after the Doctor

In, 2006, Tegan re-united with "her" Doctor again briefly. At the time, she had gotten diagnosed as having a brain tumour (BFA: The Gathering)

Personality

Tegan ws stubborn, loud, and direct, with a no-nonsense manner and not afraid to speak her mind. She described herself as "just a mouth on legs" (DW: Earthshock). While she often bickers with them as well as with the Doctor, her strength of character keeps them together and her loyalty to her fellow crewmates is unquestionable. She was close to Nyssa, and is especially saddened when she left (DW: Terminus) The Doctor notes that she is a good coordinator, and often encouraged her with the words, "Brave heart, Tegan." Despite the strong front she adopted, her adventures with the Doctor, both thrilling and terrifying, eventually take a psychological toll.

Other information

  • Tegan was able to speak one of the many Indigenous Australian languages fluently and to make sketches (DW:Four to Doomsday).

Other possibly non-canonical information

One account shows that, while working again as an air stewardess, Tegan was accidentally transported by the Doctor into his TARDIS where she helped him and Gareth Jenkins (DW: A Fix with Sontarans).
