While she was no stranger to keeping secrets herself, the '''Thirteenth Doctor''' lived a life full of conspiracies and unearthed truths that left this [[incarnation]] of '''[[the Doctor]]''' unsure of her own identity. Though she managed to hide her insecurities behind a dynamic, curious and endlessly caring persona, she would unleash her furies in short outbursts when in the heat of a stressful moment. However, these moments were few and far between, with the Doctor usually believing in hope, compassion and providing help to anyone who needed it.
−
The '''Thirteenth Doctor''' was the first female [[incarnation]] of the [[Time Lord]] known as [[the Doctor]] and the second incarnation of the [[regeneration cycle]] granted to the Doctor by the [[Time Lord]]s during the [[Siege of Trenzalore]].
 
  +
  +
Her initial travels were relatively carefree, with her simply enjoying showing the universe to [[Graham O'Brien]], [[Yaz Khan]] and [[Ryan Sinclair]], whom she called [[Team TARDIS]] and considered her "[[fam]]", after they chose to join her upon helping her recover her TARDIS following her losing it in her post-[[regeneration|regenerative]] trauma.
  +
  +
These carefree travels came to end, however, with the return of {{Dhawan|n=the Master}}, who teased a secret to the Doctor after he caused the [[Razing of Gallifrey|second documented destruction]] of [[Gallifrey]]. As she processed her home being lost again, the Doctor encountered the [[Fugitive Doctor]] for the first time since her mind was wiped by [[the Division]], a secretive organisation founded on Gallifrey, cluing her into a secret history predating her alleged [[first incarnation]]. As her history began to unravel, the Doctor was finally told the truth by the Master when they reunited on the ravaged Gallifrey; the Doctor had once been the [[Timeless Child]], found by [[Tecteun]], one of the [[Founders of Gallifrey]], who had experimented on the Child to uncover the secrets of [[regeneration]] before handing them over to the Division. Separating herself from her friends to protect them from the Master, the Doctor was imprisoned in a [[Judoon prison]] before she could fully digest what she had learned about the Timeless Child.
  +
  +
After she was rescued by [[Jack Harkness]], the Doctor returned to her friends, but arrived ten months after they last saw her, and Graham and Ryan decided to continue with their lives on Earth, while Yaz decided to continue her adventures with the Doctor, having had trouble readjusting to a normal life after being fully immersed in the Doctor's world. Though she treated Yaz as her co-pilot, the Doctor kept her in the dark as she tried to find evidence of the Division to get answers regarding her stolen memories.
   
  +
After finding a lead in the [[Lupar]] [[Karvanista]], the Doctor and Yaz pursued him to Earth as he went to collect [[Dan Lewis]], the human he was [[species bond|species-bonded]] too, in order to protect him from [[the Flux]], a force which would take apart the very structure of the cosmos, bringing about the [[end of the universe]]. With old foes resurfacing from a past forgotten and remembered, the Doctor and Yaz, joined by Dan, forged alliances with new and old friends in order to bring an end to the Flux, which culminated in the Doctor finding Tecteun in the gap between universes, where she found her stolen memories within a [[biodata module]] and learnt that the Division, led by Tecteun, had unleashed the Flux to destroy the universe as they prepared to leave for "[[Universe Two]]". However, Tecteun was swiftly killed by the [[Ravager (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Ravager]]s and, as the Doctor's allies neutralised the Flux, they brought her before the [[Time (Set Piece)|personification of Time]], who disintegrated them for their failure and allowed the Doctor to leave, but warned her of her looming fate.
−
After being separated from her TARDIS during her post-regenerative trauma, the Doctor was assisted in her recovery by [[Graham O'Brien|Graham]] and [[Grace O'Brien]], [[Ryan Sinclair]], and [[Yasmin Khan]]. Following a battle with the [[Stenza]] [[Tim Shaw]], that resulted in Grace's death, the Doctor inadvertently brought Graham, Ryan and Yasmin with her in her search for [[The Doctor's TARDIS|her TARDIS]].
  
   
  +
Now knowing her end was nearing, the Doctor contemplated her feelings for Yaz as they escaped the likes of [[Dalek Executioner]]s and [[Sea Devil]]s, until they talked over their feelings for each other, electing to maintain their platonic friendship after realising a romantic relationship wouldn't last, with the Doctor ultimately forced to regenerate by the Master in a plot to take over her body, though Yaz was able to reverse the regeneration and bring the Doctor back. However, the Master, unable to accept defeat, fatally wounded the Doctor using the energy beam of a [[Qurunx]], and she [[Thirteenth Doctor's regeneration|regenerated]] into [[Fourteenth Doctor|her next incarnation]] after amicably parting ways with Yaz.
−
After finding the TARDIS, the Doctor started her mission to take Graham, Ryan and Yaz back home, visiting [[1950s]] [[Montgomery]] along the way.

Upon travelling to [[Essex]] in [[1138]] AD after meeting a young [[Davros]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)}}) the Twelfth Doctor thought on his past incarnations and his future. Thinking he would be the Doctor forever unless faced with a crisis that killed him, he suspected he would have better [[eyebrow]]s than the incarnation who came next. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Full Stop (short story)|Full Stop]]'') While suffering from the [[common cold]], the Twelfth Doctor, overreacting to the [[illness]], considered the possibility of needing to regenerate.

With the assistance of the Eleventh Doctor, the [[regeneration energy]] he expended was returned to him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Regeneration Impossible (audio story)|Regeneration Impossible]]'') After the [[Monk invasion]], the Twelfth Doctor needed to know if his [[companion]], [[Bill Potts]], was under the control of [[Monk (species)|the Monks]] and deceived her into shooting him in a [[rage]] to see if she had succumbed to the [[mind control]], secretly putting blanks in all the [[gun]]s, and faking his regeneration to complete the illusion. He made it look like the process had started, but emerged as himself to show her that he had deceived her. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Lie of the Land (TV story)}})

After the [[Twelfth Doctor]] was [[Battle of Floor 0507|gravely wounded]] by the [[CyberMondan|Mondasian Cybermen]] on the [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|Mondasian colony ship]], the [[regeneration|regenerative process]] began. However, tired of "being someone else", the Doctor delayed the change for two weeks ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Falls (TV story)}}) until an encounter with [[First Doctor|his first incarnation]], [[Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart]] and the [[Testimony]] caused him to concede that another regeneration would not "kill anyone". After taking a final look at the universe and providing advice to his next incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor regenerated inside [[the Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] in an explosive fashion.

After the [[Twelfth Doctor]] was [[Battle of Floor 0507|gravely wounded]] by the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] on the [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|Mondasian colony ship]], the [[regeneration|regenerative process]] began. However, tired of "being someone else", the Doctor delayed the change for several weeks, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') until an encounter with his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]], [[Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart]], and the [[Testimony]] caused the Doctor to concede that another regeneration wouldn't "kill anyone".

([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')
  
   
−
As they regenerated, the Doctor relived memories from each of their past lives while the Twelfth Doctor's personality continued to give advice. They remembered the magnificence of their TARDIS; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Many Lives of Doctor Who (comic story)|The Many Lives of Doctor Who]]'') their first [[human]] friends, [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]], and a time the [[First Doctor]] visited a [[Pathicol]] spiritual site with Ian, Barbara, and [[Susan Foreman|Susan]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Path of Skulls (comic story)|The Path of Skulls]]'') the strangeness of some of their adventures, including one the [[Second Doctor]] had with [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]], [[Ben Jackson|Ben]], and [[Polly Wright|Polly]] involving living [[playing card]]s; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Card Conundrum (comic story)|Card Conundrum]]'') their love for [[London]], and how the [[Third Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah Jane]] saved the city from the [[Dahensa]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Invasion of the Scorpion Men (comic story)|Invasion of the Scorpion Men]]'') and their love for parts of [[Earth]] outside the [[United Kingdom|UK]], such as [[New York City]], where the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Romana II]] retrieved a [[psychic sales voucher]] for two [[Ra'ra'vis]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time Lady of Means (comic story)|Time Lady of Means]]'')

As the regeneration finished, the Doctor noticed that her clothes no longer fitted and felt "there was something different about this body". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (novelisation)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') After the [[The Doctor's wedding ring|Twelfth Doctor's ring]] fell off her finger, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}}) the Doctor remembered how the [[Ninth Doctor]] had to relearn to be "the Doctor" after the Time War, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Return of the Volsci (comic story)|Return of the Volsci]]'') how the [[Tenth Doctor]] helped [[Elizabeth Garrett Anderson]] become the first female [[doctor]] in [[England]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Nurse Who?

As she continued the recollections, the Doctor settled into a new body. She next remembered ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Many Lives of Doctor Who (comic story)|The Many Lives of Doctor Who]]'') [[Gallifrey]] and the [[Life cycle|regeneration limit]], and how the [[Fifth Doctor]] journeyed into the [[Cloisters]] with [[Nyssa]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]], and [[Turlough]] and worked with [[Ophiuchus]] to break the limit; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Ophiuchus (comic story)|Ophiuchus]]'') how the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown|Peri]] saved the [[Triumvir]]s from the [[Haxeen]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Virtually Indestructible (comic story)|Virtually Indestructible]]'') [[the Master]], and how the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] once stopped {{Ainley|n=him}} from murdering [[Julius Caesar]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Crossing the Rubicon (comic story)|Crossing the Rubicon]]'') how things weren't always as they appeared, as evidenced during the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Josie Day|Josie]]'s rescue of an [[Omsonii]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Time Ball (comic story)|The Time Ball]]'') and the [[Last Great Time War]], in particular when the [[War Doctor]] and [[Dorium Maldovar]] destroyed the weapons factories of [[Villengard]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Whole Thing's Bananas (comic story)|The Whole Thing's Bananas]]'')
  
  +
Still hearing her predecessor in her head, who told her he was finally ready to let go, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Many Lives of Doctor Who (comic story)|The Many Lives of Doctor Who]]'') the Doctor staggered to [[TARDIS control console|the console]] to examine her reflection and saw her new face, a change she felt was "brilliant". Before she could do more than press a button on [[TARDIS control console|the control console]], the TARDIS suddenly spiralled into chaos, with the Doctor being thrown out as the [[time rotor]] exploded from the damage caused by the explosive regeneration. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}}) As she fell towards [[2018]] [[Sheffield]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) the TARDIS vanished ([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}}) and she manoeuvred herself to fall into a train to soften her landing, knowing she would survive due to her [[regeneration energy]] still being active. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Things She Thought While Falling (short story)|Things She Thought While Falling]]'') Unfortunately, this caused her to accidentally lose the [[sonic screwdriver]] and [[sonic sunglasses]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}})
   
  +
Crashing through the ceiling of the train as it was being besieged by [[Gathering coil|an alien energy coil]], the Doctor saved [[Karl Wright]] and [[Graham O'Brien|Graham]] and [[Grace O'Brien]] from the creature by forcing it to retreat and took charge of the situation when [[Yasmin Khan|PC Yasmin Khan]] showed up with Grace's grandson, [[Ryan Sinclair]]. Waking up in [[Graham and Grace's house]], the Doctor found that she and her new friends had had [[DNA bomb]]s implanted in them, and she tracked the signal to a [[Stenza]] transport pod before confronting the Stenza warrior, [[Tzim-Sha]], who had arrived in Sheffield to hunt Karl as a rite of passage. The Doctor was able to trick Tzim-Sha into activating the DNA bombs that had been downloaded into him and he was forced to retreat, but Grace was killed while trying to overload the coil creature. After Grace's funeral, the Doctor went to [[charity shop (The Woman Who Fell to Earth)|a charity shop]] with Ryan and Yaz and chose a new outfit before rigging up Tzim-Sha's transport pod to find the TARDIS, accidentally bringing Graham, Yaz and Ryan with her.

As the regeneration finished, the Doctor noticed that her clothes no longer fitted and felt "there was something different about this body". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (novelisation)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') After the [[The Doctor's wedding ring|Twelfth Doctor's ring]] fell off her finger, ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') the Doctor remembered how the [[Ninth Doctor]] had to relearn to be "the Doctor", and once, with [[Rose Tyler|Rose]] and [[Jack Harkness|Jack]], saved a [[Volsci]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Return of the Volsci (comic story)|Return of the Volsci]]'') how the [[Tenth Doctor]], [[Gabby Gonzalez|Gabby]], and [[Cindy Wu|Cindy]] helped [[Elizabeth Garrett Anderson]] become the first female [[doctor]] in [[England]]; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Nurse Who?

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Harvest of the Daleks (comic story)|Harvest of the Daleks]]'')
  
   
  +
Winding up on a spaceship crash landing on the planet known only as [[Desolation]], the Doctor and her companions accompanied a duo of space racers, [[Epzo]] and [[Angstrom]], while they finished the [[Rally of the Twelve Galaxies]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}) While on Desolation, the Doctor overlooked the ocean as she considered her uncertainty about her future, knowing only that it would be "amazing". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Many Lives of Doctor Who (comic story)|The Many Lives of Doctor Who]]'') The Doctor uncovered a sabotaged science experiment conducted by a race subjugated by the [[Stenza]], who had forced them to create weapons that eventually poisoned the planet and reduced it to a barren wasteland. Cornered by their [[Remnant]]s, who attempted to read [[The Doctor's mind|her mind]], the Doctor destroyed them by igniting the [[gas]] in the air. After the space racers left the planet, having decided to end the race with a draw, the TARDIS returned to the Doctor with a redecorated interior, and the Doctor made to return Graham, Yaz and Ryan to their home. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}})

With the new incarnation becoming a certainty instead of a possibility, her actualised potential sent [[postcard]]s with pictures of herself in baggy [[black]] [[clothing]] to various friends, including [[V.

McCrimmon had [[letter]]s from two other potential versions of the new incarnation, which were made narratively unstable and destroyed by the postcard.

Examining her [[face]] in a reflection, the Doctor saw that she had regenerated into a woman, and felt that the change was "brilliant". After she pressed a [[button]] on [[TARDIS control console|the console]], the TARDIS suddenly spiralled into chaos, caused in part by the explosive regeneration. Subsequently, she was thrown out through the [[TARDIS door]]s in the confusion after the [[time rotor]] exploded, with the TARDIS itself vanishing without the Doctor as she fell towards [[Earth]].

On the fourteenth attempt, the TARDIS landed in [[Montgomery]] on [[30 November]], [[1955]]. After Ryan was assaulted due to his skin colour, the Doctor was spared from having to interfere when [[Rosa Parks]] stepped up to alleviate the situation. When it was revealed that Rosa had been exposed to artron energy, and with the [[Montgomery Bus Boycott]] just a day away, the Doctor discovered that a mass murderer from the [[far future]] named [[Krasko]] was attempting to prevent the boycott in the hope that doing so would prevent equality, but he could not harm anyone due to a [[neural restrictor]] in his brain. Outdoing Krasko, the Doctor and friends were able to keep history on track, albeit by becoming part of the events, and ensured Rosa was arrested after refusing to follow [[James Blake]]'s order to move seats for Graham to sit on the bus.

Crashing through the ceiling of a train that was being sieged by [[Gathering Coil|an alien energy coil]], the Doctor took charge of the situation and met [[Yasmin Khan]], [[Ryan Sinclair]], [[Graham O'Brien|Graham ]]and [[Grace O'Brien]]. Still uneasy after her change, the Doctor soon pulled herself together long enough to defeat [[Tim Shaw]], a [[Stenza]] who was controlling the coil and had gone hunting for [[Karl Wright|a human]] to take back to his planet as a trophy. Unfortunately, although she was able to force Tzim-Sha to abandon his hunt by tricking him into downloading the [[DNA bomb|DNA bombs]] he had tried to plant in her and her new friends into himself, Grace was killed when she was thrown off a crane while trying to overload the energy coil. Out of respect, the Doctor went to Grace's funeral, where she comforted Ryan. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]'')

The Doctor eventually got the TARDIS to Sheffield, but decided to stick around for tea with Yaz's family, in the course of which she found that the Khans' neighbour had been killed by a giant spider. When Graham arrived claiming to have found another giant spider in his house, the Doctor found that a [[Robertson Luxury Hotels]] hotel was at the epicentre of the spider sightings due to it being built on an old mine filled with waste disposed by [[Jack Robertson]]'s disposal company that caused them to mutate. The group trapped the brood of spiders in Robertson's panic room, though Robertson killed the [[Mother spider (Arachnids in the UK)|spider mother]] even though it was already dying.

Winding up on a spaceship crash landing on the planet known only as [[Desolation]], the Doctor and her companions accompanied a duo of space racers, [[Epzo]] and [[Angstrom]], in search of the "Ghost Monument", [[The Doctor's TARDIS|her TARDIS]]. Managing to survive the [[desert]]s and [[SniperBot]]s hidden throughout the ruins, the Doctor uncovered a sabotaged science experiment conducted by another alien race subjugated by the [[Stenza]], who had forced them to create weapons that would eventually posion the planet and reduce it to a barren wasteland. Cornered by their [[Remnant]]s, who attempted to read [[The Doctor's mind|her mind]], the Doctor destroyed them by igniting the [[gas]] in the [[air]]. Ensuring the space racers got off the planet, the TARDIS returned to the Doctor and she was elated by the redecorating of her beloved ship, before taking off to return the others home.

=== Early travels as Team TARDIS ===
−
After fourteen attempts to return to Sheffield, the Doctor accidentally took them to [[Montgomery]], [[30 November]] [[1955]]. Wandering round searching for the source of the artron energy that forced them there, they encountered a racist serial killer from the [[79th century]] named [[Krasko]] had used a [[vortex manipulator]] to travel into the past to prevent [[Rosa Parks]] from initiating the [[Montgomery Bus Boycott]] in the hope doing so would prevent equality between races. However, the Doctor destroyed Krasko's manipulator and Ryan used the displacement gun to send Krasko far into the past, where he couldn't hurt anyone else. The Doctor then helped undo all of Krasko's meddling, ensuring Rosa went on to do as history intended. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rosa (TV story)|Rosa]]'')

The Doctor and her friends went to see [[Elizabeth II]]'s coronation in [[1953]], where the Doctor [[photobomb]]ed the picture of the royal family on the balcony of [[Buckingham Palace]]. She then saw that [[Eva De Ville]], who had been sent to assassinate her, was leaving the scene, but her attempt to interfere resulted in Queen Elizabeth being taken by De Ville by mistake. Tracking De Ville, the Doctor landed the TARDIS on the [[Phasmatodea Cartel]] representative who hired De Ville and was able to retrieve the Queen. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Where's the Doctor?

Hoping to stock up on spare parts for the TARDIS, the Doctor went to a [[junk galaxy]] to scavenge, where Graham accidentally set off a [[sonic mine]] that knocked Team TARDIS unconscious for four days. Fortunately, the ''[[Tsuranga]]'' medical ship brought them on board for treatment. However, the Doctor found out that the rescue craft was on a preprogramed route and could not take them back to the TARDIS until docking at [[Resus One]]. As the Doctor tried to find a way to get back, a [[Pting]] managed to get aboard the ship and began eating it. The Doctor stunned the Pting by making it eat a device that overloaded it with energy and ejected it into space. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}})

At Yaz's urging, the Doctor took Team TARDIS to [[1947]] during the [[Partition of India]], so Yaz could learn more about the life her grandmother, [[Umbreen]], before she moved to [[Sheffield]]. Meeting Umbreen and her fiancé, [[Prem]], who Yaz had no knowledge of, the Doctor discovered [[Thijarian]]s near the body of [[Bhakti|a deceased holy man]] and assumed they were responsible for his death. However, the Thijarians revealed that they now take the role of witnesses to watch over the dying and that Prem was destined to die during the Partition. Knowing history had to play out, the Doctor officiated the marriage of Prem and Umbreen in the place of the holy man, before Prem was killed on the orders of his brother, [[Manish]], for marrying a woman of a different religion.

During a visit to see [[Albert Einstein]] in [[1905]] [[Switzerland]], Team TARDIS found that the children of [[Bern]] had fallen ill, and that giant spiders and rats were roaming the streets. When the Doctor used the ultraviolet setting on her sonic screwdriver, she found that alien starfishes were feeding off the children's imagination and creating the psychic manifestations. The Doctor tried to trap the starfishes by using Einstein as a lure, but his imagination overloaded the aliens into creating dark visions until [[Mileva Einstein]] was able to calm his mind. With the starfishes secure, Team TARDIS departed Bern to take them somewhere safe. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Einstein and the Doctor (short story)|Einstein and the Doctor]]'')

While travelling in the Time Vortex, the TARDIS was boarded by a [[Kerb!am Man]] to deliver a [[fez]], but Yaz found a message begging for help on the packing slip. The Doctor took the team to [[Kerb!am]] to find the source and began investigating the mysterious disappearances of workers. The Doctor eventually determined that the Kerb!am AI itself had sent the distress call in response to the disappearances. Shortly after making this revelation, Ryan deduced that [[Charlie Duffy]], a maintenance worker, was behind them, and Charlie revealed his plan to have an army of Kerb!am Men deliver packages with bombs in the [[bubble wrap]] to kill customers and prevent automation from completely replacing a human workforce. The Doctor was able to reprogram the robots to open their own packages and detonate the explosives within, destroying the army and killing Charlie when he refused to escape with the Doctor.

Attempting to see the [[coronation]] of [[Elizabeth I]], the TARDIS instead brought the group to [[Bilehurst Cragg]] in the [[17th century]], where the Doctor interfered in a witch trial, though she failed to save the accused, [[Mother Twiston]], from drowning. Disgusted at the callousness of the landowner, [[Becka Savage]], the Doctor tried to stop her, but the arrival of King [[James I]] forced them to investigate elsewhere. The Doctor, Yaz and Becka's cousin [[Willa Twiston]] investigated Old Mother Twiston's grave and saw her rise as a [[Morax (species)|Morax]] just as the Doctor was accused of being a witch, and she quickly discovered that Becka was infected by the [[Morax Queen]] who wanted to resurrect the [[Morax King]]. However, the Doctor was able to reactivate the prison to suck the Morax back in, but King James killed the Queen, forcing him to promise to end the witch trials and have the events in Bilehurst Cragg be struck from the history books.

Team TARDIS next arrived at [[Pizza parlour (Gatecrashers)|a pizza parlour]] in [[New Port City]], where they discovered the body of [[Iz (Gatecrashers)|Iz]]. The Doctor and Graham investigated Iz's local [[Grey Zone Mall]], but found that the posh dress she was wearing wasn't sold there. The Doctor attempted to find the [[teleportation]] coordinates to the [[Black Zone Mall]], but instead, Graham and the Doctor found themselves outside the city next to the teleportation system's core. Needing to bypass the core's teleportation block, they returned to the pizza parlour and used [[spray cheese]] to provide a [[force field|forcefield]] while Graham drove a [[moped]] to the core. The Doctor and Graham rescued Ryan and Yaz from having their [[sperantium]] harvested, as the city's dictatorial [[mayor]], [[Ronan Sumners]] was accidentally ported into a [[Pizza-Porter]] [[oven]].

On a whistle-stop tour of the Seven [[Wonders of the Universe]], Team TARDIS arrived in the [[Jewelled City of Glude]] to find it a burning wreck, before witnessing the destruction of the [[Twelve Moons of Dhost]] by [[missile]]. The Doctor tracked the source of the destruction back to a [[Director (The Greatest Movie Never Made)|film director]] in [[Follyrood]], who had filmed the destruction for use in a movie starring [[Errol Flynn]]. The Doctor unleashed a box of [[data bug]]s, who lived on [[Dhost]], that destroyed the director's film equipment and put an end to his destruction spree, and his career.

The Doctor and her companions travelled to the planet [[Gatan]], arriving in the [[City of Radiant Stone]] in the midst of war. The Doctor was caught in the crossfire between two enemy warriors named [[Tumat]] and [[Kraytos]] who had been fighting for months, causing the destruction of the entire city. With [[Berakka Dogbolter]] profiting off of their fighting, the Doctor helped lure them onto a teleport pad and forced them to re-emerge in the same place as one combined being. With the new Chimera stopping the war, the Doctor shut down Berakka's network and bade farewell to them. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Warmonger (comic story)|The Warmonger]]'')

After halting a war on the planet [[Lobos]] between the [[Loba]] and the human colonists, the Doctor and her companions departed in the TARDIS. When they attempted to return to retrieve Ryan's mobile phone, the TARDIS slipped almost six-hundred-years into the future, where the planet was now ruled by human zealots, served by [[slave]] Loba, whose religion was largely based on a misinterpreted joke made by Graham, who was worshipped by them as "the Good Doctor". First relegated to the background and having to do things through Graham's authority, the Doctor came into conflict with the ruling [[Temple of Tordos]], and had to fight an artificially enhanced Loba named [[Tromos]] to the death. In the end, the Doctor succeeded in uncovering the lie of the zealots, setting the record straight and brokering a lasting peace between humans and Loba.

When the TARDIS landed in [[2018]] [[Norway]], Team TARDIS found [[Hanne (It Takes You Away)|Hanne]], a blind girl left to fend for herself in a boarded-up house with a monster seemingly hiding in the woods outside. While trying to help Hanne find the monster, the Doctor discovered a mirror leading to another plane of existence, and she found Hanne's father [[Erik (It Takes You Away)|Erik]] living with his supposedly [[Trine (It Takes You Away)|deceased wife]] and what appeared to be Grace, upon which the Doctor realised that [[Granny Five|her grandmother]]'s old bedtime stories about the [[Solitract]] were real and that she had discovered the living universe. The Doctor tried to convince Graham and Erik to leave, but both men initially refused to lose their wives again. The Doctor eventually convinced the Solitract into releasing everyone else by offering herself, and the Solitract explained that it only wanted company. The Doctor convinced the Solitract that its existence was threatened by objects foreign to its universe, including her, and it reluctantly let her go. ([[TV]]: {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}})

After the TARDIS passed through an energy anomaly, it landed in [[451]] AD [[Gaul]], where Graham and Ryan were separated from the others during an attack, and the Doctor and Yaz were "captured" by [[Attila the Hun]] to serve as his new "combat witches" against the power of the mysterious [[Tenctrama]]. The Doctor eventually determined that the Tencrama were survivors of a catastrophe on a distant planet who now sought to gain power from the psychic energies generated by the deaths in the wars they were escalating on Earth. The Doctor realised that the Tenctrama's process depended on them having spent the last thousand years subtly "engineering" humanity to be suitable energy sources for them, with the result that the Tenctrama would be contaminated if they absorbed anyone who had been treated with healing technology, such as a healing gel the Doctor had used. The Tenctrama were caught by surprise when they absorbed a horse that the Doctor had healed, the disruption giving the Doctor time to reconfigure their equipment and project the Tenctrama energy into Earth.

The Doctor and her friends visited [[Adamantine (Molten Heart)|Adamantine]], where the entire civilisation lived inside the hollowed shell underneath the planet's exterior, and befriended [[Ash (Molten Heart)|Ash]], one of the native silicon-based life forms, and the daughter of the planet's first scientist, [[Basalt (Molten Heart)|Basalt]]. The Doctor soon determined that the civilisation was under threat as the exterior of the planet began to crack and let in water which threatened to cool the lava that Basalt's people needed to survive. While Graham and Yaz tried to calm the people, the Doctor and Ryan travelled up to the surface with Ash, learning that the cracks were caused by a mining expedition that had been abandoned after the original team was killed by an exploding gas pocket while leaving their equipment running. The Doctor was able to contact the original company and obtain the necessary command codes to shut down the equipment and use it to repair the worst of the damage threatening Basalt's home city.

When the TARDIS picked up nine separate distress signals from planet [[Ranskoor Av Kolos]] in [[5425]], the Doctor went to investigate, where she found [[Greston Paltraki]] alone in his ship just as [[Tzim-Sha]] contacted him, demanding he give back the package he stole in return for his crew's safety. The Doctor had Paltraki led her and her companions to Tzim-Sha's base for a prisoner exchange. Arriving at Tzim-Sha's "edifice", the Doctor took the package directly to Tzim-Sha and learned that he had fooled the [[Ux (The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos)|Ux]] into seeing him as their god, at which point he was healed and created a weapon that could miniaturise planets to take revenge on them opposing the Stenza. However, the Doctor and Yaz were able to get the Ux to see their mistake and return the planets to their original places, with Graham and Ryan choosing to trap Tzim-Sha inside one of his own trophy cases instead of killing him, with the Ux sealing the edifice to ensure no-one would be able to free him.

=== Investigating the Catastrophia ===

Attempting to reach the Ninth Moon of [[Quezzeltrax]], the TARDIS instead landed in [[1601]] [[Bohemia]], where the Doctor, Graham, Ryan and Yaz joined [[Tycho Brahe]] and [[Johannes Kepler]] at a gathering of scientists laid out by Baroness [[Dagmar Ruskovitch]], where the Doctor and Ryan were psychically attacked by a monk named [[Dominik]] and she was later attacked by energy and left paralysed, continually muttering nonsense. After recovering, the Doctor learnt that Ruskovitch was trying to prevent the summoning of a twisted figure in the castle's cavern, just as it fully manifested in the form of the Doctor herself. With Ruskovitch revealing herself and Dominik to be [[Knights of the Solitary Sword]], who were dedicated to protecting the universe from the [[Catastrophia]], the Doctor and Ruskovitch teamed up to seal its Herald away again, at the cost of Brahe's life.

On [[Acantha]], the Doctor and her companions discovered a collapsed mine and were caught in a [[mag-storm]], becoming separated from Ryan. Rescued by a team of [[Mobox]], they were taken to a nearby colony where the Doctor got an audience with Governor [[K'Lass]]. K'Lass showed the Doctor his human assistant, [[Rodney Minto|Rodney]], and eventually got him to confess he thought something was wrong about the mine collapse. They discovered an underground area where humans had collected 600 Mobox under the covers of the mine collapse to harness their power, which Rodney revealed he was part of, including creating the mag-storms. The Doctor disabled the captive Mobox's restraints and lowered the gravity around the colony to prevent conflict, enabling the peaceful arrest of Rodney and his co-conspirators.

The Doctor next attempted to rescue a worker during a power plant meltdown on [[Segonus IV]] but he refused her help due to Berakka Dogbolter's control of the media branding the Doctor as a terrorist. As the Doctor confronted Berakka, a "child of chaos" named [[Krizanthia Kalos]] interrupted them to kill Berakka in the Doctor's honour, leaving everyone teleported away in the confusion. Krizanthia used the [[Eye of M'Dulia]] to open a portal to the Catastrophia, and with Graham and Berakka safe in a logic cube, the Doctor learnt that the Herald was actually a possible future version of herself, as was its opposite, the Sanity. It wanted to use the Herald to break the Catastrophia into normal reality, destroying it, but a combination of the three selves left only the Doctor. She, Graham and Berakka were rescued by a mysterious woman called [[Mother G]] flying the TARDIS along with Yaz and Ryan, and although Berakka still believed the Doctor was a monster, her friends showed her [[Sharon Davies|Sharon Allen]]'s more accurate coverage of her actions on a rival news feed.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek Combat Training Manual (novel)|Dalek Combat Training Manual]]'') Meeting two researchers named [[Mitch (Resolution)|Mitch]] and [[Lin (Resolution)|Lin]] at an archaeological site in the sewers, the Doctor obtained alien DNA before heading back to Graham's house, where Team TARDIS found Ryan's absent father, [[Aaron (Resolution)|Aaron]], had arrived to reconnect with his son. After Ryan left to hear his dad out, the Doctor found that the DNA belonged to a [[Dalek]] that had been buried on Earth since the [[9th century]] and was controlling Lin. The Doctor, Yaz, Ryan, and Mitch tracked Lin to a warehouse, where the Dalek had constructed a new casing from scrap, and the whole group tracked it to the [[Government Communications Headquarters]], where they melted its casing with Aaron's microwave oven. The victory was short-lived when the [[Kaled mutant]] inside took control of Aaron's body, forcing the Doctor to take it back to [[Skaro]]. However, the Doctor opened the TARDIS doors into a [[supernova]], removing it from Aaron. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}})

Stopping to watch the [[sentient nebula]]e on [[Blecplam Two and a Half]] in [[3912]], the Doctor and her friends encountered a rip in [[time]] that the Doctor recognised as the same anomaly she had encountered before, in her [[tenth incarnation|tenth]] and [[twelfth incarnation]]s. As a hand emerged from within the anomaly, the rip vanished as before, but the Doctor was able to track it down again to an unnamed planet, where they successfully saved the trapped man, [[Leon Perkins|Dr Leon Perkins]], before being imprisoned by the [[Grand Army of the Just]]. While imprisoned, Perkins explained that he had become stuck in a time-loop when he and his superior, [[Irene Schulz|Dr Irene Schulz]], activated the prototypes of their prototype [[vortex manipulator]]s, only for his to malfunction.
  +
  +
Team TARDIS escaped with Perkins back to the TARDIS, however Perkins attempted to hijack the ship at gunpoint; an attempt which the Doctor pointed out was pointless as the TARDIS had neutralised his weapon. The Doctor quizzed Perkins over a pot of [[tea]], with him explaining that he and Schulz had been forced by "[[the Hoarder]]" to use their experimental time travel to steal treasures from across the universe, as well as kidnap children to act as hostages, with Schulz was injected with a toxic substance as punishment for disobedience. The Doctor, her friends and Perkins found Schulz on the Hoarder's planet. Using ingredients Schulz had already gathered, the Doctor created an antidote for Schulz’s condition. Whilst Perkins and Schulz confronted the Hoarder, Team TARDIS freed the hostages and tipped off the [[Time Agency]] to the Hoarder's activities. After the Hoarder trapped himself in a time loop by trying to escape using Perkins' faulty vortex manipulator, Team TARDIS parted ways with Perkins and Schulz, assured that they would work to get the children and the treasures back to their rightful places.

When Ryan and Graham suggested throwing a surprise [[birthday]] [[party]] for Yaz, the Doctor went to look for a [[cake]], [[balloon]]s, and [[birthday candle]]s. She bought a [[Sontaran Frosted Boom Cake]] at a [[bakery]] on [[Sontar]], obtained some [[Zeppelin]]s for balloons from [[London]] during [[the Blitz]], and took a candled [[Candelabra]] in [[Paris]].

Arriving in [[Guelder]] in the early [[16th century]], the Doctor was surprised when her companions revealed the knowledge they had gained of the [[Guelders Wars]] from a historical podcast hosted by [[Bethany Brunwine]] called ''[[Hidden Human History]]''. Exploring, Team TARDIS encountered a horde of [[Stilean flesh eater]]s, an alien species that were able to gradually take on the traits of different lifeforms after consuming their blood, one of which took a bite out of the Doctor. Tracking the Stilean flesh eaters to [[North Carolina]] in [[1711]] during [[Cary's rebellion]], and to [[Canada]] in the [[1860s]] during the [[Battle of Ridgeway]], the Doctor noticed that the creatures were gradually becoming more human the more they fed, just as Dr. Perkins and Dr. Schulz arrived, both having joined the Time Agency since their last encounter with the Doctor.
  +
  +
As they continued to track the creatures, the crew became aware that they were continually visiting times and places that had been covered in ''Hidden Human History''. To learn how the podcast was connected to their recent travels, Team TARDIS paid a visit to Bethany Brunwine at her home in [[2019]] [[London]], where they discovered that she was the Stilean flesh eater that had bitten the Doctor upon their first encounter. Bethany revealed that consuming the Doctor's blood had slowed her ageing, allowing her to live on Earth among humans for centuries, and that the podcast had been inspired by her encounters with the Doctor in the past. After ending their visit with Bethany, Yaz questioned if the Doctor would give ''Hidden Human History'' a listen, to which the Doctor agreed, believing it would be rude not to, considering "[she] helped it happen".

Wanting to deal with "unfinished business", the Doctor returned to [[Gladstone (Who-Dini?)|Gladstone]]'s warehouse to find [[Billy (Who-Dini?)|the escaped alien prisoner]] her [[twelfth incarnation]] had investigated with [[Harry Houdini]]. After Houdini and his wife were captured by [[Wiseman King]], the escaped alien prisoner revealed itself to be Houdini's assistant Billy and explained that he had passed between the various magicians for many years while a [[control ring]] linked to his prison pod kept him imprisoned. With Billy's assistance, Team TARDIS was able to rescue Houdini and his wife from King. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who-Dini? (short story)|Who-Dini?]]'')

Going to meet with [[Pythagoras]] in [[BC#6th century B.C.|500 BC]] [[Crotone]] to return his [[sunglasses]], Team TARDIS found that his daughter, [[Myia]], had been possessed by [[Zaris of the Argomeld]], a race that grew from microbial size by transferring across host bodies. When the Doctor realised that Zaris would destroy Myia and the surrounding area when it jumped to its home dimension, she offered to help Zaris leave safely by using Pythagoras's mathematical tetractys sequence. Once Zaris had returned home, the Doctor made to return the sunglasses, only for Pythagoras to reveal that they weren't his.

A girl called [[Lizzie (The Runaway TARDIS)|Lizzie]] snuck into the TARDIS whilst the Doctor was out and accidentally dropped her [[peanut butter sandwich]] down the console. As a result when she returned the TARDIS could no longer be navigated properly. After exploring the time and space using the [[randomiser]], they wound up on the planet [[Plorp]], and had [[Glorp]] head into the console to remove it. This allowed the Doctor to navigate the TARDIS once more and take Lizzie back home. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Runaway TARDIS (novel)|The Runaway TARDIS]]'')

Whilst visiting [[Devivian]], the Doctor was arrested for the theft of the [[Gem of Niag]] due to the culprit having two hearts. The Doctor escaped and traced a TARDIS that had been on the planet recently, suspecting the culprit to be be {{Gomez}} from the authorities' description. However upon tracing the thief's TARDIS, Team TARDIS discovered the culprit was the [[Sixth Corsair]]. After they escaped a pub brawl, the Corsair invited the Doctor to help on a heist which the Doctor accepted, after taking a moment to reflect on her foreknowledge of the Corsair's eventual fate. They rescued a star whale from Raddplina, however the Corsair abandoned the Doctor's companions when authorities arrived. Despite the Doctor's anger, the Corsair insisted they deliver the whale to her employer first, who the Doctor was horrified to discover was [[the Hoarder]]. The Hoarder had them imprisoned; however, after having a proper talk in a cage, they escaped and returned to Raddplina for Doctor's friends. The Doctor then contacted Perkins and Schulz to arrest the Hoarder and parted ways with the Corsair, advising her to find some friends to travel with.

The Doctor posed as a [[museum]] [[curator]] in [[Venice]]. {{Gomez}} visited her to ask for the location of items that had been stolen from her in the [[14th century]], taking an old [[map]] from her and leaving, without realising that she had just spoken to the Doctor. Later, the Doctor saved [[Antonia (The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone)|Antonia]] from being left behind in 14th century Venice, returning her to the present. She left Antonia with a note chastising Missy for her actions and that she would have to "try harder next time".

Whilst finishing repairs to the TARDIS in Sheffield, the Doctor was reunited with her friends by [[MI6]] and brought to [[C (Spyfall)|C]] who tasked her with investigating a series of bizarre attacks on [[Spy|spies]] across Earth. The Doctor contacted her old friend [[O (Spyfall)|"O"]], and learnt that the attacks were linked to [[VOR]] [[Chief executive officer|CEO]] [[Daniel Barton]] and aliens from another dimension called the [[Kasaavin]]. When Team TARDIS and "O" went to confront Barton, he fled in his private jet, where, after Barton escaped, "O" revealed that he was actually {{Dhawan}} and was also behind the attacks. As he left her and Team TARDIS in the crashing plane, the Doctor was taken by the Kasaavin, who transported her to [[Kasaavin realm|their realm]].

As she explored the area, the Doctor encountered [[Ada Lovelace]], who seemed to naturally be able to enter the dimension. Arriving in [[1834]] [[London]], she learned that the Master was following her and that his plan covered various time periods. Using the [[Silver Lady]] figurine Ada used to enter the Kasaavin's realm, the Doctor and Ada arrived in [[1943]] [[Paris]], where they were rescued from the Master and the [[Nazi]]s by [[Noor Inayat Khan]]. Contacting the Master with a [[psychic link]], the Doctor arranged to meet him at the top of the [[Eiffel Tower]], where she learned that the entire plan was to get her attention so the Master could tell her that [[Gallifrey]] had been destroyed. Leaving the Master to be arrested by Nazis after she had Noor frame him as a traitor, the Doctor stole [[The Master's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] and, with help from Ada and Noor, foiled the Kasaavin's plan, allowing them to take the Master back to their realm with them as they fled.
  +
  +
After returning Ada and Noor to their original time periods, the Doctor returned to Gallifrey, only to learn it had been ravaged and left in flaming ruins. In a [[hologram]] message left by the Master, she learned that it was his doing, as an act of revenge after learning about the [[Timeless Child]] and how the [[Time Lord]]s' history had been built on a lie. The Doctor then travelled with Graham, Yaz and Ryan for some time in a weary mood, until they convinced her to open up about her past to them.

After the Doctor accidentally interrupted the [[mating season]] of the [[Deep-Space Squid]]s, Graham revealed he had been collecting coupons for a free holiday, which Team TARDIS was immediately transported to. Arriving at [[Tranquility Spa]], the Doctor investigated strange happenings around the spa which the staff had withheld, discovering that the spa had been a "[[Fakation]]" built on an [[orphan planet]]. When an old lady named [[Vilma (Orphan 55)|Vilma]] lost her partner [[Benni (Orphan 55)|Benni]] to the local [[Dreg]]s, the Doctor insisted on them rescuing him, during which they found out that Orphan 55 was Earth in the future and the Dregs were [[mutation|mutated]] [[human]] survivors. Escaping back to the spa, she and the team tried to fight off the Dregs, but, ultimately, Team TARDIS had to escape by teleporting back to the TARDIS, leaving the friends shaken at the possible future.

The Doctor tried to take her friends to 51st century New Asgard but instead arrived in [[Brideport]] in [[1962]]. There they discovered the town was falling under the influence of a [[Piggybacker (The Piggybackers)|Piggybacker]], which had possessed local teacher [[Edith Harcourt]]. Working with a family of aliens who had taken refuge from the Piggybackers in the town, the Doctor was able to combat its influence and convinced [[Abner J. Endicott|Abner Endicott]] to confront Edith, as he was the only resident of the town that Edith respected. As the Doctor had anticipated Abner was able to convince Edith to resist the Piggybacker, at the cost of her life. Team TARDIS attended her funeral two days later.

Working with Bruce, the Doctor and Ryan learnt how local crime boss [[Chen Luo]] had accidentally exploited a tiny spaceship belonging to the [[Kalatra]], with him raising his champion [[Shui Long]] to take control of Earth. The Doctor and Ryan argued over Bruce’s looming fate next year, with the Doctor reminding him history could not be changed. The trio were lured to a pier, where they reunited with Yaz and Graham, so Shui and Bruce could duel for the fate of the planet. Bruce ultimately prevailed after the Doctor advised him to move the fight to the shore, forcing the Kalatra to withdraw, taking Chen and Shui with them. Afterwards Team TARDIS spent some days in Bruce’s company before departing. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The White Dragon (comic story)|The White Dragon]]'')

There the Doctor and Team TARDIS discovered a [[Draconian (The Simple Things)|Draconian]] using Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company to build a dreadnought. Unable to persuade them to stop, the Doctor managed to convince the Draconian and company boss to allow the workers’ football team, the precursors to West Ham F.C, to train so they would be prepared for the [[1896 Charity Cup Final|1896 Charity Cub Final]], avoiding history being changed.

Having arrived in [[New York (state)|New York]] in the middle of a feud between Tesla and [[Thomas Edison]], the Doctor investigated Tesla's pursuers and found them to alien [[scorpion]]s known as the [[Skithra]], who required Tesla to repair their [[Throne Ship of the Skithra|stolen Venusian spaceship]]. Working with Tesla and Edison, the Doctor and her team fought the Skithra when they threatened to destroy [[Earth]] to get to Tesla, with the Doctor and Tesla using the TARDIS to electrify [[Wardenclyffe]] to force the Skithra into a retreat.

The Doctor, Ryan and Yaz entered the home of [[Lee Clayton|Lee]] and [[Ruth Clayton]], finding that although they were both [[human]], Lee was hiding something alien, so the Doctor and Ruth hid in [[Gloucester Cathedral]]. Later, the Doctor took Ruth to the abandoned [[lighthouse]] where she claimed to have grown up, and she regained her memories from a [[Chameleon Arch]] and revealed herself as [[Fugitive Doctor|another incarnation]] of the Doctor. The two Doctors were briefly captured by the Judoon but escaped and the Thirteenth Doctor was dropped off back in Gloucester, where she was found by Yaz and Ryan, who told her that they had met [[Captain]] [[Jack Harkness]]. Back in the TARDIS, Graham relayed Jack's message to the Doctor; ''"Beware the [[Ashad|Lone Cyberman]]. Do not let it have what it wants."'' The TARDIS alarms then sounded, notifying her of alerts from three different locations, and Team TARDIS took off to investigate. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}})

Dropping off Ryan in [[Peru]] and Yaz and Graham in [[Hong Kong]], the Doctor travelled to [[Madagascan beach|a beach]] in [[Madagascar]], where she found [[Zach Olson|a naval officer]] in danger who exploded into dust after scales emerged all over his body. With Ryan uncovering similar, he and [[Gabriela Camara]] entered the TARDIS with Graham and Yaz, who had gained the company of [[Jake Willis]] and his sick husband, [[astronaut]] [[Adam Lang]]. The Doctor ventured back to Madagascar where she discovered that Adam had been infected with an alien pathogen. While working on an antidote, the Doctor discovered that [[Suki Cheng]] was behind it all and the team fled to the TARDIS so Adam could be healed.

Travelling to an earlier point in the [[Last Great Time War]], the Doctor gave a [[bandolier]] to [[Cass Fermazzi]] and learnt about the parts of her upbringing that encouraged her to fight, such as a [[robot clown]] that provided her with therapy. As she had previously realised, it was the same robot the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[River Song]] had repaired, confirming the Doctor's theories that they were inadvertently responsible for Cass's demise. Unable to save Cass because of how tied into her personal timeline she was, the Doctor watched her go. Reflecting on her meetings with the Moment, she was pleased that she finally had an answer as to why the weapon had helped her in her War incarnation.

Arriving in London in [[1969]], during the time period the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Martha Jones|Martha]] were stranded there, the Doctor was intrigued as to why the TARDIS had brought them there. She sent her companions to keep an eye on her past self, wanting to avoid meeting him, and went to meet Martha at the shop she was working at. Attacks by [[Weeping Angel]]s and [[Auton]]s forced them to reunite and the Doctors reluctantly worked together to pit the two invaders against each other.

Realising from her that the timeline had been altered in 1903, with the Skithra having now succeeded in kidnapping Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison and then awakened the Sea Devils to conquer Earth on their behalf, the Doctor took her companions and the Queen back in time to right the timeline. Along the way, the TARDIS collided with a past version of itself belonging to the Tenth Doctor, who had also been embroiled in this paradoxical timeline and found [[Rose Tyler (Sea Devil Earth)|an alternate version of Rose Tyler]]. The Doctors stabilised their TARDISes and he and Rose joined Team TARDIS in travelling back to 1903.

After doing so, they were attacked by the present Queen and the rebel Queen insisted the Doctor leave without her. The Doctor returned to the TARDIS as the Tenth Doctor and Fam were bringing the scientists aboard and revealed the Queen wasn’t coming, to her friends’ horror. She dropped Edison and Tesla off back on Earth after which the Tenth Doctor and Rose departed whilst she took her friends to the restored 2020.

Picking up her friends with Tahira in tow, the Doctor followed Graham's visions, which saw them travelling to [[Zellin's space platform|a space platform]] in the [[far future]] where a [[geo orb]] was stuck between two [[Planets (Can You Hear Me?)|planets]] in an everlasting [[extinction event]] with a woman trapped inside. The Doctor was confronted by the immortal [[Zellin]], who revealed that he had set the trap for her to unlock his long-imprisoned partner, [[Rakaya]], from the geo orb, but she lured them to Aleppo and trapped them both inside the geo orb with the Chagaska.

Going to [[Lake Geneva]] in [[1816]] [[Switzerland]], Team TARDIS were greeted at [[Villa Diodati]] by [[Lord Byron]], [[Mary Shelley]], [[Claire Clairmont]], and [[John Polidori]], but not [[Percy Shelley]]. As strange happenings persisted in the house, the occupants soon found themselves trapped in various areas of the house, until the Doctor worked out that they were being deceived by a [[perception filter]]. During this time, the occupants saw the arrival of [[Ashad]] - the "Lone Cyberman" - who was in search of the [[Cyberium]], an [[AI]] which contained all the knowledge of all [[Cybermen]]. After finding Percy Shelley hiding in the cellar, the Doctor figured out that he was the Guardian Ashad sought, as he had found the Cyberium. The Doctor eventually took the Cyberium from Percy and gave it to Ashad, who then vanished. Team TARDIS then left to find and stop him from restabilising the [[Cyber-Empire]] in the [[far future]], using [[coordinate]]s Shelley had deciphered from the Cyberium.

After constructing various countermeasures to combat the Cybermen, Team TARDIS travelled to a [[refugee planet]] in the [[far future]] in the aftermath of the great [[Cyber-Wars]], finding only a couple of [[human]] survivors left, but they were unable to protect them, so the Doctor told everyone to flee to the rescue ships while she caused a diversion. Stealing [[The Doctor's Cyberfighter|a Cyberfighter]] after briefly disabling Ashad, the Doctor, Ryan and [[Ethan (Ascension of the Cybermen)|Ethan]] hoped to meet the others at [[the Boundary]].

Forced to accompany him to Gallifrey to prevent him killing her friends, the Doctor was placed in [[the Matrix]] by the Master, where she learnt that she was the [[Timeless Child]], an entity who had the ability to regenerate indefinitely and whom the early Time Lords had experimented on and studied to gain the ability themselves. The Doctor managed to escape from the Matrix by overloading it with her memories, and was reunited with her friends, Ko Sharmus and the refugees. Together, they destroyed the [[Cybercarrier (Ascension of the Cybermen)|Cybercarrier]] that had landed on Gallifrey and retreated to [[TARDIS 1 (The Timeless Children)|a vacant TARDIS]], though the [[death particle]] remained inside Ashad after he was killed by the Master. The Doctor sent the humans back to the 21st century in the spare TARDIS while she confronted the Master, who had created a race of [[CyberMaster]]s from the bodies of the Time Lords, and despite threatening to use the death particle on Gallifrey, Ko Sharmus did the task for her.

After "a tough few decades" in prison, the Doctor was rescued by [[Jack Harkness]] and they escaped back to the TARDIS using [[Jack Harkness' vortex manipulator|Jack's vortex manipulator]], with the Doctor trying to return to Team TARDIS shortly after they returned to Sheffield, only to arrive ten months later instead. They informed her of Jack Robertson being spotted with [[Defence Drone|a Dalek]], and the Doctor went to confront him with Graham and Ryan. When Robertson denied knowledge of building Daleks, he insisted that he was only making security drones run by artificial intelligence, so the Doctor brought him to the factory, which she learnt was a [[Dalek clone farm]] being run by a clone of the [[Reconnaissance Dalek]]. The new mutants were teleported into the new casings, beginning [[2021 Dalek civil war|a takeover of England]].

Out of options, the Doctor discreetly lured in the [[Death Squad Dalek]]s to deal with them, only for Robertson to join forces with them after they had destroyed all the "impure" clones. The Doctor lured the Daleks into the spare TARDIS, which she programmed to fold in on itself and go into [[the Void]], destroying them. Afterwards, Jack left to catch up with [[Gwen Cooper]], and Ryan decided he wanted to stay in Sheffield, with Graham also deciding to remain with him, leaving only Yaz to travel with the Doctor.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet the Fam (short story)|Meet the Fam]]'') In her book, she included fact files on her latest adventures, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Fact File]]'') reviews of recent destinations she has visited, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[TARDIS Trip Reviewer (short story)|TARDIS Trip Reviewer]]'') a tour of her TARDIS [[TARDIS control room|control room]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[TARDIS Tour (short story)|TARDIS Tour]]'') her own write up on legends of the [[Timeless Child]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Secret of the Timeless Child (short story)|The Secret of the Timeless Child]]'') and, after meeting up with [[River Song]], an extract from the ''[[The Dark Times Times]]'' newspaper article about the [[Dark Times]], written by River. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Guide to the Dark Times (short story)|The Guide to the Dark Times]]'')

The Doctor made sure Yaz had the "experience of a lifetime" during their travels, having fun and seeing "amazing places" together. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}) After an argument with a [[Silurian]], a [[Judoon]] and a [[Hath]], the Doctor and Yaz got trapped in a joke book, and had to work out what [[The Question|the oldest joke in the universe]] was to escape. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Knock! Knock! Who's There? (novel)|Knock! Knock! Who's There?]]'')

The duo became embroiled in a crisis where the [[Paradox Cloud]] spread across time and space. They visited [[London]] in the [[2020s]], [[Satellite Five]] in [[199909]], [[Regnidorch II]], [[Manhattan]] [[1932]] and [[New New York Hospital]]. They discovered the cause was the Master's TARDIS being piloted by [[Kara (Hidden Mysteries)|Kara]] as she tried to find a cure for her terminally ill daughter [[Kaibra]]. They were able to put a stop to it but failed to locate the Master. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Hidden Mysteries (video game)|Hidden Mysteries]]'')
  +

The Doctor took Yaz to [[1605]] only to discover history had been altered so the [[Gunpowder Plot]] was successful. Travelling to the night of the explosion, they witnessed [[Guy Fawkes]] being arrested and [[Berthold Schwarz]] take his place to cause the explosion. They failed to stop Schwarz lighting the gunpowder so fled and travelled back in time to meet his younger self. They discovered he inadvertently summoned an alien knight in an alchemy ritual and stole its gun, killing it. Yaz tried to interfere but was shot in the shoulder by Schwarz, so the Doctor got her back to the TARDIS and dealt with the wound. She explained to Yaz that the alien knight had used its dying breath to curse Schwarz to be immortal until being shot by the last gun on Earth. They travelled forward in time to find Schwarz in the ruins of Earth and he agreed to help them put history right. The Doctor took him back to the Gunpowder Plot where the older Schwarz convinced his younger self not to detonate the gunpowder, breaking the curse.

Whilst visiting the [[hanging garden]]s with Yaz, the Doctor went off to get them [[Kronkburger]]s, ([[WC]]: ''[[A Message from Yaz (webcast)|A Message from Yaz]]'') but got distracted. While outmanoeuvring a [[Balderian warfleet]] in the TARDIS, the Doctor discovered that Yaz had sent her a voice message and replied to it with her own voice message, apologising for her absence and promising to return to Yaz soon.

The Doctor spent several months as a science teacher pushing a younger version of Ace into loving chemistry, as well as saving her from a threat. She subsequently erased her memory of their meeting. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Chemistry (short story)|Chemistry]]'')

After the TARDIS arrived in a forest, the Doctor stayed to fix the [[TARDIS console]]'s [[biscuit dispenser]] whilst Yaz went to explore. The Doctor eventually followed, being disturbed to find women trapped within the nearby trees, and encountered a woman who had been saved from a ceremony by Yaz. Discovering Yaz had been used in her place and was now trapped within in a tree, the Doctor tried to persuade the locals that the practice was wrong and discovered the bard had been leading the ceremonies and telling them the victims were happy. Turning them against him, the Doctor discovered he had been exploiting forgotten technology from an Earth colony and used it to free Yaz and the previous victims of the ceremony. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forest Bride (comic story)|The Forest Bride]]'')

=== The Flux crisis ===
  +
====Beginning of the crisis====
  +
[[File:Gravity bar 2.jpeg|thumb|right|The Doctor and Yaz in [[Karvanista]]'s trap. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}})]]
  +
The Doctor identified a surviving [[The Division|Division]] agent, [[Karvanista]], and tracked him down, not telling Yaz her true reasons for wanting to find him. Karvanista trapped them and left them dangling over a sea of acid, telling them Earth's "final hours" were approaching before abandoning them. The pair managed to use his levitating trap to reach the TARDIS and set off in pursuit to Earth. As they were en route, [[Swarm (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Swarm]] made telepathic contact with the Doctor showing her his escape from Divison custody.
  +
  +
Tracing Karvanista to [[Liverpool]], the Doctor and Yaz discovered he had abducted a human, [[Dan Lewis]], and nearly fell victim to a trap he'd left behind which shrank Dan's entire house. Returning to the TARDIS, they briefly encountered [[Claire Brown]], who claimed she'd met the Doctor before in her future, and then set off to Karvanista's ship. There the Doctor confronted Karvanista, disabling his ship and weapon, who refused to tell her anything about the Division and explained he'd only taken Dan as his allocated human to save from [[the Flux]], with the rest of his species also en route to Earth to rescue all of humanity. Confused that she didn't know about the Flux, the Doctor repaired Karvanista's ship so he could show her more, however upon seeing Yaz had freed Dan and regaining his weapon he attacked them, forcing them to return to the TARDIS.
  +
  +
The Doctor tried to take the TARDIS to look at the Flux, but found the ship malfunctioning. She eventually forced it to land on the edge of Earth's solar system and witnessed the Flux approach. After she had another vision from Swarm, in which he revealed they'd fought many times before in lives she couldn't remember, the Flux suddenly turned to attack them. Unable to dematerialise, she piloted the TARDIS towards Earth and warned Karvanista that the Flux had arrived early, guiding his people's fleet to form a shell to protect Earth. With the Flux closing in on the TARDIS, the Doctor tried a final option of breaking the console to unleash [[vortex energy]] however it appeared to have no effect on the Flux. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}})
  +
  +
==== Combatting the Sontarans ====
  +
Falling through time due to the collision of vortex energy and the Flux, Doctor suddenly found herself, Dan and Yaz at a battlefield in the [[Crimean War]], along with the TARDIS, and encountered [[Mary Seacole]]. They discovered [[Sontaran]]s had invaded the conflict, supplanting Russian forces, however were separated when Dan and Yaz continued falling through time. Promising to find them, the Doctor went to the TARDIS only to find the doors missing so returned to Mary Seacole's [[British Hotel]].
  +
  +
She was appalled to discover British forces were planning to face the Sontarans in battle, so arranged the release of a Sontaran prisoner to organise a parlay with their commander. The parlay failed due to British commander denying the Doctor's authority and having her taken away, resulting in the British forces being massacred. With the commander now willing to listen, the Doctor devised a plan to sabotage the Sontarans' supplies based on Mary's observations, also using their ship to communicate with Dan who was infiltrating an [[Imperial Sontaran Time Carrier]] in 2021 Liverpool. The plan worked, forcing the Sontarans to withdraw from the Crimean War, however to her horror as the ships were taking off the British commander used gunpowder to destroy them. The TARDIS returned to her and she managed to reach Dan in 2021, who had dealt with the Sontarans in Liverpool with the aid of Karvanista. ([[TV]]: {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}})
  +
  +
==== Repairing the Temple of Atropos ====
  +
Entrusting Earth's protection to Karvanista, she and Dan set off to find Yaz. The TARDIS was diverted to the [[Temple of Atropos]] on the planet [[Time (planet)|Time]], where they were greeted by [[Azure]]. She took them to the broken [[Mouri]], where Swarm revealed their role in keeping time in check and that he'd subsituted Yaz and [[Inston-Vee Vinder]] for two of them. To the Doctor's horror, he prepared to expose them to the full force of time, wondering how long they'd last. ([[TV]]: {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}) The Doctor pre-empted him by leaping onto the place of a broken Mouri herself, pulling Dan onto the other, and taking the flow of time upon herself to protect her friends. Hiding her friends within their time streams, she attempted to devise a solution with the surviving Mouri but found herself pulled into [[The Doctor's time stream|her own time stream]], experiencing her [[Fugitive Doctor|younger self]]'s original capture of [[Old Swarm|Swarm]] and Azure at the [[Siege of Atropos]].
  +
  +
Inspired by that event, the Doctor asked the Mouri to hide four new Mouri within the Passenger currently in the Temple so they could retake their positions and restore time to normal. They complied and prepared to send her back, despite her begging them to let her see more from her forgotten past. She suddenly found herself with a [[Awsok Tecteun|mysterious woman]] who explained the Flux and the two Ravagers had been released deliberately to destroy the universe, because of the Doctor, and advised her to stop trying to fight it. Back in the Temple Swarm congratulated the Doctor, but revealed that time had been broken long enough to release particles of the [[Time Force]]. He and Azure left triumphant so the Doctor and her friends returned to the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}})
  +
  +
==== Facing the Division ====
  +
[[File:Thirteenth Doctor distress.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor warns of [[the Flux]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Flux is Coming... (TV story)|The Flux is Coming...]]'')]]
  +
After dropping Vinder off on his ruined home planet, with a device to contact her if he needed to, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}}) the Doctor sent out a [[distress call]] warning those who received it about the impeding arrival of the Flux along with the other species rallied to its cause. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Flux is Coming... (TV story)|The Flux is Coming...]]'') A little later, she recorded a message for Yaz in case they became separated, telling her the forces displaced by the Flux would likely converge on Earth so she should find warnings of a great battle to come. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Survivors of the Flux (TV story)}}) Then, a [[Weeping Angel]] appeared in the control room via Yaz's phone, seizing control of the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}})
  +
  +
Evicting the Angel from the TARDIS, the Doctor realised they had arrived at its intended destination which turned out to be [[Medderton]] in [[1967]]. Whilst Yaz and Dan helped the locals search for a missing child, the Doctor followed mysterious readings on her sonic screwdriver to [[Eustacius Jericho]]'s house, where she found Claire Brown. As Weeping Angels laid siege to the house, Claire revealed that an Angel was present in her mind. Making telepathic contact with Claire whilst Jericho held back the Angels, the Doctor spoke to the Angel which revealed it was on the run from the Division and had brought her here for her help to evade the Angels sent to retrieve it. Jericho awoke them as Angels closed in and they fled through a secret tunnel from his basement. The Doctor was shocked that the Angels stopped moving and emerged from the thnnel to find herself surrounded. Speaking through Claire, the rogue Angel revealed it had offered the Doctor to the Angels in its place and that she was recalled to the Division. The Doctor was transformed into a Weeping Angel herself and transported away. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Village of the Angels (TV story)}})
  +
  +
The Angels transported the Doctor to [[Division Control]] outside the universe where she was reverted to normal by an [[Ood (Survivors of the Flux)|Ood]]. She was taken before [[Awsok Tecteun|the leader of the Division]], who revealed herself to be a new incarnation of [[Tecteun]]. Tecteun revealed the Division was destroying the universe and moving on to [[Universe Two|the next one]], and tempted the Doctor to join them with a [[Chameleon Arch]] containing her erased memories. The Doctor refused and announced her intent to destroy the Divison, but was interrupted by the arrival of Swarm and Azure. The pair killed Tecteun and cornered the Doctor, promising to end her suffering. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Survivors of the Flux (TV story)}}) The Doctor attempted to escape back into the universe, but Swarm made contact with her at the precise moment she did. This caused her to be split into three aspects; one remained with Swarm and Azure who taunted her with her erased memories as they prepared the next Flux event; the second appeared in the [[Williamson Tunnels]] and was reunited with Yaz, Dan, Jericho and [[Kate Stewart]] who had her TARDIS; the third appeared onboard a Lupari ship above Earth with Karvanista and [[Bel (Once, Upon Time)|Bel]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}})
  +
  +
==== Saving the universe ====
  +
The Doctors near Earth learnt that the Sontarans had invaded again and both sought to investigate. The Doctor with her companions followed Kate Stewart's suggestion to plant agents in the Sontarans' experiments on human psychics, using her TARDIS to recruit Claire from 1967 at Jericho's request. The Doctor with Karvanista and Bel deliberately got them captured by the Sontarans to get information. Whilst being held with Karvanista, she asked him about their past and he confirmed he'd once been her companion. The imprisoned Doctor was interrogated by the [[Grand Serpent]] until the Doctor with her companions rescued her and Karvanista. Together the two Doctors discovered the Sontarans' plan to lure Daleks and Cybermen fleets to the Flux event, which they were learning the starting point of via the psychics, in hopes their combined matter would resolve the Flux. They also used the TARDIS to rescue Vinder and [[Diane (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Diane]] from Swarm and Azure's Passenger. The two Doctors sabotaged the Sontarans' plan by helping Karvanista regain control of the Lupari fleet, after the Sontarans had stolen them, changing their formation so the Sontaran fleet perished with the Daleks and Cybermen, however this proved insufficent to stop the Flux. Following a suggestion by Diane, the Doctors summoned the Passenger whose endless matter proved sufficient.
  +
  +
[[File:The Doctor meets Time.jpg|thumb|right|The Doctor face-to-face with [[Time (Set Piece)|Time]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}})]]
  +
The third Doctor was taken to the Temple of Atropos by Swarm and Azure, who planned to offer her to [[Time]] upon the Temple's destruction by the Flux. [[Time (Set Piece)|An embodiment of Time]] appeared before them and dismissed the Ravagers after revealing their Flux had failed. To her surprise Time left the Doctor alone, instead bringing her three aspects back together and giving her hints of her looming fate. The Doctor was then returned to the TARDIS, having recovered the Chameleon Arch from Swarm's remains. She subsequently left Bel and Vinder with Karvanista, returned Claire home and then invited Dan to continue travelling with her and Yaz. As Yaz showed Dan around, the Doctor placed the Chameleon Arch inside the console and asked the TARDIS to hide it from her, unless she really asked for it. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}})

=== Final adventures ===
  +
[[File:Thirteenth Doctor gets magic lamp.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor uses the [[magic bean]]stalk to get the [[magic lamp]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[It's Behind You! (comic story)|It's Behind You!]]'')]]
  +
To unwind, the Doctor, Yaz and Dan went to see a [[pantomime]] of ''[[Cinderella]]'', which took a turn for the adventurous after the Doctor tried something during the interval to make the show more exciting, only to accidentally summon real versions of various pantomime characters to the theater (having failed to understand the true nature of the "way to summon the magic of panto" that she'd read about on [[Spacebook]]). Though Yaz had to fight off the [[Crocodile (It's Behind You!)|Crocodile]] from ''[[Peter Pan]]'' while Dan dueled [[Jas Hook|Captain Hook]], the Doctor was able to put things to right using one of the three [[wish]]es from a [[magic lamp]], and things returned to normal, allowing the time travellers to witness the second half of the real show. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[It's Behind You! (comic story)|It's Behind You!]]'')
  +
  +
A week after saving the universe, the Doctor set about engaging [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]'s reset system for the first time ever, in order to remove the debris leftover from [[the Flux]]. She intended to have herself and her companions wait the process our on an alien [[beach]], where she'd promised [[Yasmin Khan|Yaz]] that she'd finally tell her all about what she'd been going through. However, they found themselves in [[ELF Storage]], in [[Manchester]], instead. She, Yaz and [[Dan Lewis|Dan]] encountered a [[Dalek Executioner|Executioner Dalek]] who exterminated them, however they were resurrected when the TARDIS created a [[time loop]]. After numerous fatal attempts to evade the Daleks with two bystanders, [[Sarah (Eve of the Daleks)|Sarah]] and [[Nick (Eve of the Daleks)|Nick]], the Doctor devised a successful plan to destroy the Executioner Daleks using explosives stored in the facility, ending the loop entirely by fleeing the building. Afterwards she and her companions departed in the restored TARDIS, deciding on a whim to go look for the [[lost treasure of the Flor de la Mar|lost treasure]] of the ''[[Flor de la Mar]]''.

[[File:Thirteen looks at Yaz (Legend of the Sea Devils).jpg|thumb|right|The Doctor stares at Yaz. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}})]]
  +
The trio dressed up in period-appropriate clothing only to end up four hundred years out of date from their intended target, finding themselves in [[1807]] [[China]] where they thwarted a [[Marsissus|pirate Sea Devil]]'s plan to use [[the Keystone]] to flood the entire [[Earth]]. Before [[Sin Ji-Hun]] laid down his life instead, the Doctor prepared to fulfill [[Time (mythology)|Time]]'s prophecy by sacrificing herself to destroy the Sea Devil base, and just before she did so, she confessed to Yaz that if she were to allow herself to enter a relationship again, it would be with Yaz; however, after they made it out alive, she had a tender conversation with Yaz on a nearby [[beach]] where she apologetically told her that she could not bring herself to pursue such a relationship, even if the immediate threat had passed, because she knew that "sooner or later, it [would] hurt". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}})
  +
  +
The trio investigated a series of disappearances in a town in 2022. Suspecting ghost tours at nearby [[Hydra Hall]] may be connected, the Doctor and Dan visited the owner, [[Vera Parker]], whilst Yaz went to the hall. After Yaz reported seeing Roman legionaries at the hall, they hurried there and found her missing, leaving only her broken phone. The Doctor and Dan then suddenly found themselves transported back in time to earlier in the hall's history in [[1942]]. Finding a link to an alien market in a pocket dimension where Yaz had been sold as a trinket, the Doctor located her but discovered she was already leading her fellow captives against them. The Doctor helped them reach a portal back to 2022, however was cornered by the alien sellers and closed the portal to stop them following Yaz. Finding the centre of market's pocket dimension, she created a [[time centrifuge]] to reopen all the portals and send the sellers back where they came from and then found a portal back to Dan and Yaz. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Hydra's Gate (comic story)|Hydra's Gate]]'')
  +
  +
Visiting the edge of reality with her friends to see if there was any life there, the Doctor became infected with a [[Redacted Distortion|psychic virus]] that began steadily erasing people who'd known her, turning them into [[ghost]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Salvation (audio story)|Salvation]]'') The Doctor broadcast a message to Earth warning that something was coming and people she had known were being "redacted from reality". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Introducing Doctor Who: Redacted (audio story)|Introducing Doctor Who: Redacted]]'') She sent a letter to [[Abby McPhail]] saying she'd be in touch but couldn't do so directly as she might be contagious. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[SOS (audio story)|SOS]]'') She later contacted the [[Black Archive]], talking to [[Cleo Proctor]]. She tried to tell Cleo to find someone, but interference meant Cleo couldn't understand the message. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Recruits (audio story)|Recruits]]'') The Doctor contacted Cleo specifically again via a radio, warning her not to touch the ghosts. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Requiem (audio story)|Requiem]]'', ''[[Ghosts (Redacted audio story)|Ghosts]]'') The Doctor finally landed in the [[Powell Estate]] to find everyone had vanished bar Cleo. The two talked over the situation, with the Doctor revealing what had happened to Cleo's father, and deduced a solution to make the ghosts remember by broadcasting Cleo's podcast about the Doctor, restoring nearby ghosts to normal people. The Doctor had Cleo and her restored friends record an episode in the TARDIS which she broadcast around the world and on other planets to cure all the ghosts. Afterwards she set off to find her friends and deal with the threats that had capitalised on the situation. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Salvation (audio story)|Salvation]]'')
  +
  +
The TARDIS team relaxed together on a [[Seaside (Fear of the Future)|beach]]. However, their peace was disrupted when Dan began to see accidents moments before they happened. The Doctor realised he had accidentally picked up her pair of [[Preventacles]], banned glasses capable of seeing slightly into the future. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear of the Future (comic story)|Fear of the Future]]'')
  +
  +
After finding a brochure in the TARDIS straight afterwards, the Doctor, Yaz and Dan investigated the [[Gardens of Everlasting Summer]]. There, the Doctor uncovered how the gardens' [[custodian]], [[Jinpar]], had been artificially rewinding time to keep the long-lived residents living in a perpetual state of summer. She convinced him to stop after Yaz was temporarily aged due to Jinpar's resulting time storm. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Everlasting Summer (comic story)|The Everlasting Summer]]'')

[[File:Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz in UNIT HQ laboratory in Lost in Time.jpg|thumb|left|Yaz and the Doctor explore the [[Third Doctor]]'s [[UNIT HQ laboratory]]. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Lost in Time (video game)|Lost in Time]]'')]]When a temporal crisis made itself known, the TARDIS made an [[emergency landing]] in the [[Third Doctor]]'s [[UNIT HQ laboratory]], with [[UNIT HQ]] having turned into a [[Waypoint]] teeming with [[vortex energy]] by its experience passing through a singularity into the [[anti-matter universe]]. The temporal disturbances were also having an effect on the Doctor herself, who didn't recognise the lab as anywhere she'd been before, even after Yaz found "John Smith"'s badge and frilly shirts. With [[K9 Mark IV]]'s help, the two were able to charge up the TARDIS with vortex energy and make a quick hop to another location, where they met [[Sil]], who sold them technology to help the TARDIS recharge faster using the unrefined vortex energy. After the Doctor briefly visited [[Atlantis]] to help defuse a situation with [[Sea Devil]]s, they returned to the UNIT lab where the Doctor finally remembered the place and realised she was losing some of her [[symbiotic nucleus|symbiotic nuclei]], causing her memory troubles.

{{Main|The Master's Dalek Plan}}
  +
Answering a [[distress call]] from a [[Toraji Transport Network]] [[bullet train (The Power of the Doctor)|bullet train]] being hijacked, the Doctor found the [[CyberMaster]]s kidnapping [[Qurunx (The Power of the Doctor)|a Qurunx]] that she was unable to save from them, with Dan deciding the leave the TARDIS due to a near-death experience in the hijacking causing him to reevaluate his life. After returning Dan to [[Liverpool]], a [[Dalek traitor]] contacted the Doctor with information that could help destroy the Daleks before an imminent incursion of Earth, just as the TARDIS tracked down the Qurunx to a [[cyber-conversion]] [[Metal Planet|planet]] in [[1916]], where the Doctor and Yaz found the [[Spy Master's TARDIS|the Master's TARDIS]] keeping the Qurunx imprisoned to power the planet and were then chased off by the CyberMasters, with [[Cyber-Leader (The Power of the Doctor)|the Cyber-Leader]] taunting her on the Master's return. The Doctor was then summoned to UNIT by Kate, where she reunited with [[Tegan Jovanka]] and [[Ace]], and told that the Master had defaced paintings and lured [[seismologist]]s to [[Naples]] to kill them. Realising that Time's warnings were coming true, the Doctor secretly planted the [[Holo-Doctor]] onto Tegan, Ace and Yaz and then assisted UNIT in detaining the Master. She and Yaz went to meet the Dalek traitor in the Daleks' [[volcano]] base, only for it to be a trap set by [[Dalek Commander (The Power of the Doctor)|the Dalek Commander]] to destroy the traitor and capture the Doctor to take her to the [[Winter Palace]] in 1916 where the Master, disguised as [[Rasputin]], was waiting for her.

[[File: The Master's Dalek Plan in action.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor is [[Thirteenth Doctor's forced regeneration|forced to regenerate]] by the Master. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}})]]
  +
Using technology he had stolen from Gallifrey in conjunction with the power the Qurunx was feeding the metal planet, the Master imposed the [[Thirteenth Doctor's forced regeneration]] and hijacked the process to become her next incarnation. Crying out to Yaz as she regenerated, the Doctor passed on to the [[Edge of Existence]] within [[The Doctor's mind|her mind]] where the [[Guardians of the Edge]] appeared to stop her "moving any further through". The Holo-Doctor worked with her companions to undo the forced regeneration, and Yaz and Vinder eventually returned the Master to the chamber to force him to [[retro-regeneration|degenerate]] back into the Thirteenth Doctor by harvesting the [[regeneration energy]] of the CyberMasters, while the Master was forced back into his old body.
  +
  +
Realising she needed "all hands on deck", the Doctor retrieved Ace and Graham from the Daleks' volcano base after they destroyed the Daleks, and Kate and Tegan from the UNIT HQ after they blew it up to destroy the Cybermen. After giving them and Yaz instructions on how to use the TARDIS to take the cyber-conversion planet from 1916 to [[2022]], the Doctor sent Vinder on his way by fixing his ship before she commandeered the Master's TARDIS to empower her own TARDIS, giving it the energy needed to freeze the erupting volcanoes into steel. She then released the Qurunx, telling it to destroy the cyber-conversion planet. However, the Master, his body failing him due to being too strained, then arrived and redirected the Qurunx so that the Doctor was struck by it's energy beam. As the Master was buried by rubble, Yaz carried the Doctor to the safety of the TARDIS, where she lost consciousness. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}})

Asleep for "a while", the Doctor awoke after Yaz had dropped everyone off at [[Croydon]], but quickly realised she was about to regenerate. Though dismayed, the Doctor elected to treat Yaz to [[ice cream]] atop the TARDIS roof while drifting in Earth's orbit to comfort her, telling Yaz how she "loved being with [her]" and that she felt she "need[ed] to do [the] next bit alone", and dropped Yaz off by Dan and Graham on their way to a [[Companion Support Group]] meeting. Wanting to see "one last sunrise", the Doctor went to [[Cliff (The Power of the Doctor)|a cliff]] to take in the "blossomiest blossom". There she [[regenerate]]d into her [[Fourteenth Doctor|next incarnation]], telling them "tag, you're it". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}})

* While sitting on a bench in [[Henry VIII]]'s third-favourite [[garden]], the Doctor thought about the lesson [[the Moment]] had wanted to impart. The Moment then joined her on the [[bench]], and when the Doctor asked her why she had helped him the day he saved Gallifrey, she said it was because she did not want to be used. About a year later, when the Doctor stood in a fountain at the heart of the [[Villengard]] [[banana]] groves, the Moment appeared again, continuing their conversation. The Moment told her that she helped because the universe had a need for the Doctor, and at that point, they were in danger of stopping. Pleased that she finally had an answer, the Doctor went back to the TARDIS with a renewed vigour. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')

== Alternate timelines ==
  +
In a potential future, the Doctor found herself trapped inside the [[Catastrophia]]. Due to the Catastrophia's warped temporal laws, the Doctor's timeline from here was split into two outcomes. In one timeline, the Doctor never escaped, and eventually lost her mind, becoming [[The Herald (Herald of Madness)|the Herald]]. In another, the Doctor took shelter inside the [[logic cube]] and became [[the Sanity]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Herald of Madness (comic story)|Herald of Madness]]'', ''[[Mistress of Chaos (comic story)|Mistress of Chaos]]'')

After the [[2021 Dalek civil war]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}) [[Dan Lewis]] was read a [[horoscope]] by [[Dan Lewis' friend|his friend]] which foretold many things that all came true, such as the letter [[D]] being important and [[13 (number)|thirteen]] being his [[lucky number]].

Playful to the end, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) the Thirteenth Doctor was a kid at heart, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}}) looking for even the most mundane ways to have fun in the universe ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}) having "never been a fan of growing up". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}) Though she enjoyed having many friends, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) and disliked being alone, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}, {{cs|Can You Hear Me? (TV story)}}) the Doctor was wary about getting attached due to knowing the pain that came with endings. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}})

Being the one who "sort[ed] out fair play throughout the universe", the Thirteenth Doctor was a warm and passionate individual, willing to take great risks to protect an innocent life, and would even apologise if she exposed someone to a grotesque sight that disturbed them. She was proud that she would never refuse anyone help if they needed it. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]'')
  
   
  +
Influenced by the parting words of the [[Twelfth Doctor]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}}) the Thirteenth Doctor was more invested in the personal welfare of others, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}) taking the time to remember their names upon meeting them as a show of friendship, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|Can You Hear Me? (TV story)}}) and encourage them to overcome their challenges. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}) However, being the "private type", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) she was evasive with her friends when questioned about her past and motives. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}, {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}, {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}}, {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}) especially following the death of [[Grace O'Brien]], whom she had been more open with. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) Indeed, when her friends weren't around, or the situation became too dire, the Doctor could become cold and intimidating. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}} {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}) She was also displeased to be reminded of being an outcast, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}) and emphasised with [[Nikola Tesla]] for feeling "out of place" among other people. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}})
−
She implored those around her to ask questions about a situation, and showed no irritation on how off topic the questions got, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]'') even showing excitement when the right questions were asked. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rosa (TV story)|Rosa]]'') This was an immediate contrast between her and her predecessor, who easily got annoyed with wrong questions and felt it was 'like pulling teeth" to bring everyone else up to speed. ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]], etc'')

Feeling "a duty to others [that] might be in trouble", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}) the Doctor would be drawn to those that appeared in distress to offer a helping hand, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}) making it a priority to save everyone she could that was in danger, including people she had either only just met or never met at all, even if it was detrimental to her stopping larger issues, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}, {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}, {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}, {{cs|Can You Hear Me?

Knowing that her inherent kindness was a detriment, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}}) the Doctor felt discomfort when put in a situation where she could only be unhappy, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}} {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}) and tried to hide her negative emotions by shutting down when faced with hard questions or serious conversations, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}, {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}}, {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}}) making her come across as emotionally distant. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}, {{cs|Can You Hear Me? (TV story)}}) However, she tried to avoid focusing on negatives to not "kill the vibe", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}) and sought to keep an open mind that was unclouded by sheer assumptions, ([[TV]]: {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}) even being willing to rescind her disbelief in [[ghost]]s when Graham told her about his [[supernatural]] encounter, concluding that ghosts didn't exist "unless they [did]". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}})

The Thirteenth Doctor was not above being secretive and cryptic, handing {{Gomez}} an annotated [[map]] of [[14th century]] [[Venice]], without explaining it and leaving Missy to discover for herself what the annotations meant, while also not divulging her true identity to Missy. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone (short story)|The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone]]'') She demonstrated a playful sense of humour, labelling the Moment's interface "a [[Christmas cracker]]", and responding to [[Cass Fermazzi]]'s mention of having [[childhood]] [[therapy]] with a dry "[don't] we all".

([[TV]]: {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}}) Even while trying to act incognito, the Doctor had no patience for others' claims of [[authority]], especially when the authority was misused and unearned by the authoritative figure. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}, {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}) She preferred to "get on with the job", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}) and would become dismissive of those around her when focusing on the task at hand.

The Doctor claimed that she enjoyed making "trip[s] into the past" for [[research]] purposes, but knew to be cautious when making such trips. She retained the good nature of her predecessors, making a trip to [[14th century]] [[Venice]] to rescue [[Antonia (The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone)|Antonia]], and writing a note to chastise Missy for her lack of caution. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone (short story)|The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone]]''). The Doctor took her devotion to the preservation of history seriously, describing herself and her companions as it's guardians. In spite of her adamance, she would still show signs of distress if preserving history meant letting injustices go unpunished, such as the arrest of [[Rosa Parks]] as a result of contemporary [[Racism|racist]] laws. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rosa (TV story)|Rosa]]'')

She would keep her discoveries hidden from others with the mind-set of protecting them from a harmful realisation, ([[TV]]: {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}, {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}) and was not above being cryptic, handing {{Gomez}} an annotated [[map]] of [[14th century]] [[Venice]] without explaining it, and leaving Missy to discover for herself what the annotations meant, while also not divulging her true identity to Missy.

([[TV]]: {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}})
−
She retained the guilt demonstrated in her prior incarnations over the events of the [[Last Great Time War]]. Visiting Cass prior to her death, the Doctor expressed her regret over Cass' fate and noted that saving Cass was impossible as "[Cass] was too wrapped up in [her] timeline", demonstrating her continued respect for the [[Laws of Time]]. She was unwilling to alter her own personal [[timeline]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')
  
   
  +
Striving to have the moral high ground, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}) the Doctor was unsympathetic to those that wanted murderous revenge on past tormentors, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}) and did not take kindly to being threatened. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}) She was also more passive than her predecessors, being more willing to leave a situation to its historical fate if it couldn't be stopped, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}} {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}) and would allow others to step in to quell a situation in her place with little resistance. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}, {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}})
−
The Thirteenth Doctor was passionately against murder, trying her best to subdue her opponents in a non-lethal fashion, and going out of her way to stop the [[Stenza]] warrior [[Tim Shaw]] from killing and capturing humans on Earth. She also expressed distaste for the act even when committed by her allies. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]'')
  
   
  +
A self-proclaimed "nutter", ([[TV]]: {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}) though one that was never "ridiculous", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Village of the Angels (TV story)}}) the Doctor had a ruthless side to her, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}, {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}, {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|Village of the Angels (TV story)}}) and could quickly turn short tempered and snappish, with not even her friends being sparred from her outbursts. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}}, {{cs|Ascension of the Cybermen (TV story)}}, {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}}) When her friends tried to talk back to her, she would defensively try to change the subject by reminding them of the nice places she took them too. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}})

The Doctor expressed how, upon regenerating, she felt as if she was on the brink of death only to be born again, a process which terrified her greatly. However, she countered she had to accept the subsequent change into someone new while ensuring everything she used to be, stayed with her in some capacity as well. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]'')

She also had a bit of an ego, boasting about her intelligence, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}) not being afraid to brag about her talents, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}, {{cs|Survivors of the Flux (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) wanting people to be impressed by her, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|Can You Hear Me?

([[TV]]: {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}) She was more concerned about being embarrassed by being wrong instead of more fatal consequences, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}) and could get self-defensive over how others described her, being offended when she was accused of having a "small mind", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) taking umbrage with being called "little". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}) and feeling offended when she misunderstood why [[Bel (Once, Upon Time)|Bel]] was calling her "unstable".

Much like her predecessor ([[TV]]: ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'', ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]''), the Doctor retained an extreme dislike of [[racism]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rosa (TV story)|Rosa]]'')
  
  +
The Thirteenth Doctor had a love for talking, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}) frequently rambling to distract herself or others from her worries, or to inspire hope in herself, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}} {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}) and to distract her foes so she could have time to think. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}}) She once admitted she could talk to herself without fear of isolation, believing that another person in a conversation would just "get in the way". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}) However, when she starred down an adversary, the Doctor would appear cease rambling to become a confident and direct speaker, often acting in a passive aggressive manner to antagonise her opponents into exposing their shortcomings and take control of their interaction. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}, {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}, {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}})
   
  +
Describing herself as "socially awkward", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}, {{cs|Can You Hear Me?

([[TV]]: {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}) When Graham opened up to her about his fears of his [[cancer]] returning, the Doctor openly stated her uncertainty on how to respond, instead electing to narrate her movements and admit she would later think of something she should have said to him, which did make Graham chuckle. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Can You Hear Me? (TV story)}}) Like previous incarnations, the Thirteenth Doctor enjoyed it when people underestimated her, deliberately using her awkwardness to make herself seem "smaller", but found it disappointing when people continued to dismiss her after she threw off the persona. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Shadow Passes (short story)|The Shadow Passes]]'')
−
The Doctor regularly voiced her dislike of weaponry, opting instead to use her intellect and environment to her advantage. She was also strongly adverse to her allies using such methods, even in situations of dire peril. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ghost Monument (TV story)|The Ghost Monument]]'')
  
   
  +
She retained the absent-mindedness of her [[Twelfth Doctor|previous incarnation]], tending to forget how many times she did something, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}) forgetting whether she was awarding points or [[Gold star (score)|gold stars]] to her companions, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}}) and only remembering she was holding an item of importance after asking for its whereabouts in a state of a panic. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}) She could forget when someone was still next to her, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}) and fail to notice when her companions were absence, even when they had been missing for some time, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}, {{cs|Can You Hear Me? (TV story)}}) and not check if her instructions were understood before sending them off on an assignment, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}) with a self-admitted tendency to confuse "meaning to say something" with "actually saying it". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Praxeus (TV story)}})
−
Despite her earlier statement to [[Grace O'Brien|Grace]] and [[Graham O'Brien|Graham]] that she would accept her new incarnation in Sheffield, the [[Remnant]] saw in her mind she was uncertain about her new body. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ghost Monument (TV story)|The Ghost Monument]]'')
  
   
  +
She also retained her predecessor's veneration of the dead, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}}) holding a respect for all living beings, even if they caused harm due to their nature, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}) and sought to offer even the deadliest of her foes the chance to retreat, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}) but would offer no second chances to those that truly irked her.

  +
  +
Upon seeing [[Gallifrey]] in ruin, the Doctor reacted with devastation. After discovering the [[Spy Master]] was responsible for the act in retaliation for "the lie of the [[Timeless Child]]", the Doctor was left in a foul mood, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}) that lasted for some time. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}) Even after some time had passed, the Doctor was still sore on the subject of dead planets. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}) She would occasionally revisit Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}) After the Master revealed that she was the Timeless Child of legend before the [[Division]] had redacted the memories of her [[The Doctor's early life|earlier lives]], the Doctor had a brief identity crisis, until a conversation with the [[Fugitive Doctor]] in [[the Matrix]] convinced her that, rather than being reduced to less, she "contain[ed] multitudes more than she ever thought". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}) However, even after having "decades" in prison to dwell on her discovery, she admitted to Ryan that she was continuing to struggle with who she really was. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}) The Doctor then became desperate to seek answers on her forgotten past, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}, {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}}) but, once she held all the answers in her hand, she elected to leave them for another day when she reflected on what she had already learnt.

While she once claimed to "love a [[conspiracy]]", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}) she disliked ones that resulted in information being purposely withheld from her, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kerblam!

([[TV]]: {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}) She disliked dealing with people who tried to deny the extraordinary and unexplainable, even after they had witnessed it, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) and, while she gave quick hugs for greetings and farewells, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}) did not usually enjoy physical contact with others. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}) She also disliked having empty [[pocket]]s, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) [[bully|bullies]], and people in danger.

The Doctor enjoyed [[tea]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}) and [[biscuit]]s, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}}) with [[custard cream]]s being a particular favourite, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}) and [[Yorkshire Tea]] being her preference. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Good Doctor (novel)|The Good Doctor]]'') She liked to have [[cereal]] and [[croissant]]s for [[breakfast]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}) and enjoyed [[fried egg]] [[sandwich]]es. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) However, she disliked [[bourbon biscuits]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Chasing the Dawn (short story)|Chasing the Dawn]]'') and [[olive]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Good Doctor (novel)|The Good Doctor]]'')
  +
  +
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's beliefs and opinions-->
  +
Seeing morality as a strength, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Survivors of the Flux (TV story)}}) the Thirteenth Doctor stated that [[love]] was central to her "[[religion|faith]]", believing it to be the better source of belief. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}} {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}) She was also a strong believer in [[hope]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}) and thought that the meaning of life was to continuously try to achieve goals with friends made along the way. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}) She voiced the opinions that "where there [was] risk, there [was] hope" ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}) and that there was "always a way out" of a crisis. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}) She also stood against prejudices, but masked her disgust with gentle comments of acceptance, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}) as she though that hate would only spread if left unopposed, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}) and that "true knowledge [had] to be earned". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}})
  +
  +
Seeing herself as an "expert" on running towards and away from danger, the Doctor believed that running was sometimes the [[bravery|bravest]] option, either as an act of defiance on giving up or a proof of agency against letting the "[[monster]]s" decide one's fate, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Hidden Human History (comic story)|Hidden Human History]]'') though she didn't think being "a little bit scared [was] a bad thing." ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}) She used [[joke]]s to defuse tension, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}) believing that the "bad ones" were the best to use. ([[WC]]: ''[[Message from the Doctor (webcast)|Message from the Doctor]]'')
  +
  +
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's fears-->
  +
Fearful of the destruction that threatened species' ability to build and live, and seeing that "life must win" to justify itself, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}) the Thirteenth Doctor would view individuals as the source of the problems with the established systems, rather than point fault at the systems themselves, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}) sympathising with how scary new things could be. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}})
  +
  +
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Thirteenth Doctor's attitude towards violence and death-->
  +
The Thirteenth Doctor disliked [[weapon]]ry, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}) opting instead to use her intellect and environment to her advantage, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}) even voicing her disapproval when someone resorted to using a weapon, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}) though she admitted this was a "flexible creed", as anything that could be rebuilt was "fair game" to be destroyed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}) Specifically, the Doctor believed [[gun]]s "made things worse" by agitated attackers, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}) and that only "idiots" carried [[knife|knives]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) After [[Leon Perkins]] threatened her with a gun, the Doctor favoured serving him [[tea]] over imprisoning him, hoping to come to a common understanding with him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A New Beginning (comic story)|A New Beginning]]'')
  +
  +
Furthermore, the Thirteenth Doctor was passionately against killing, always trying her best to subdue her opponents in a non-lethal fashion, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}) and would be particularly outraged if an enemy was killed after they had already been defeated. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}, {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}}) She was deeply disturbed when she was forced to indirectly be responsible for the loss of life, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}) seeking confirmation from her friends that she had given every opportunity for a better outcome when she resorted to killing her foes. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}) While she was prepared to unleash the [[death particle]] on Gallifrey to stop the [[Spy Master]] and the [[CyberMaster]]s, she was ultimately unable to detonate the device. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}) However, when facing opponents that posed a great threat to innocent lives and history, the Doctor was more willing to lead them to their deaths. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}) When her patience and rage reached their zenith, the Doctor would resort to psychically attacking the one she was enraged with. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}})
  +
  +
She retained the [[survivor's guilt|guilt]] demonstrated in her prior incarnations over the events of the [[Last Great Time War]]. Visiting [[Cass Fermazzi]] prior to her death, the Doctor expressed her regret over Cass' fate and noted that saving her was impossible as "[she] was too wrapped up in [the Doctor's] timeline". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)}}) Like her immediate predecessor, she believed that "no one ever [won] at [[war]]", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Good Doctor (novel)|The Good Doctor]]'') and also thought that "soldiers [paid] the price for their commanders' mistakes." ([[TV]]: {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}})
  +
  +
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinions on technology and machinery-->
  +
Admiring machines that fulfilled a great purpose, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|Can You Hear Me? (TV story)}}) the Doctor would scold those who used the power to create in their efforts for destruction. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}) She also held a great admiration for those who crafted things for themselves and made their own [[invention]]s, praising both [[Ada Lovelace]] and [[Nikola Tesla]] for their ingenuity and forward thinking, seeing the lack of recognition each received as trivial in comparison to their accomplishments. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}, {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}) She also admired [[Amelia Earhart]] for taking the world on and pushing it forward. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Chasing the Dawn (short story)|Chasing the Dawn]]'') In contrast, she admonished those who only took [[power]] and recognition through [[ownership]] alone, claiming that people who never created things themselves were destined to be forgotten by [[history]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}})
  +
  +
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Thirteenth Doctor's attitude towards time travel and the Web of Time-->
  +
The Thirteenth Doctor claimed that she enjoyed making "trip[s] into the past" for [[research]] purposes, but knew to be cautious when making such trips, even writing a note that chastises [[Missy]] for her lack of caution in meddling with time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone (short story)|The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone]]'') However, she was annoyed about how rarely history lined up with historical documentation. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}}) She took her devotion to the preservation of [[history]] so seriously that she described herself and her companions as its "guardians", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}) even excluding historical figures from her missions when she could, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}) though would still acknowledge that time "[was]n't always fixed". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Village of the Angels (TV story)}})
  +
  +
While she was careful not to tamper with established history, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}}) the Doctor found herself willing take her companions to visit their own [[family]] history with little persuasion, though warned her friends to "tread softly" on their own history. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}}) At times, the Doctor's sense of justice got the better of her, making her intervene in past events if she believed them to be minuscule enough to not impact history in too great a detail. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}) She would still show signs of distress if preserving history meant letting [[injustice]]s stand and go unpunished. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}}) After Graham and Ryan left, the Doctor briefly contemplated travelling back in time to get more time with them, but did not act on the idea. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}})
  +
  +
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's miscellaneous traits-->
  +
She implored those around her to ask questions about a situation, and showed no irritation on how off topic the questions got, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) even showing gleeful excitement when the right questions were asked, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}) but would clarify when "the wrong question" to a situation was being posed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}) However, she showed displeasure in handling multiple questions simultaneously, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) and would refuse to answer questions asked of her if the person did not answer any questions she asked first. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}) She also excused her solo trips to the destroyed Gallifrey by claiming that Team TARDIS "ask[ed] too many questions" about her private affairs. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}})
  +
  +
Thriving on the gleeful excitement of unpredictability, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}, {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}) the Thirteenth Doctor would run into a situation without a [[strategy]] in mind, hoping to come up with a plan in the heat of the moment, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}}, {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}}) claiming to be "good in a tight spot" ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}) and to enjoy throwing a "curveball" into the situation, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}) but would take precautions when she knew how dangerous a situation was, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}, {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|Ascension of the Cybermen (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) even using her seemingly unfocused planning to hide a contingency she had prepared in advance. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}) She was confident she could take on any threat, even within a limited time span. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Village of the Angels (TV story)}}, {{cs|Survivors of the Flux (TV story)}})
  +
  +
She had the wisdom to read a situation and know when local authorises would not believe what she could tell them, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) and to realise when someone was feeling hurt from favouritism. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Little Help from My Friends (comic story)|A Little Help from My Friends]]'')
  +
  +
While she believed in a trial and error format to solving problems, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}) the Doctor rarely learnt from her experiences, such as needing to reassure herself of her identity as "the Doctor" ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}) after already being reassured of it by the [[Fugitive Doctor]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}) and continuing to withhold information from Yaz ([[TV]]: {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}) after promising to be more forthcoming with her. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}})

  +
Affectionately calling her previous incarnations her "fam", the Thirteenth Doctor especially enjoyed the company of the [[Seventh Doctor]], singling him out as being "on [her] team" during a [[Multi-Doctor Event]]. She also teasingly invited herself to the "wedding" of her bickering [[Second Doctor|second]] and [[third incarnation]]s. ([[WC]]: ''[[Doctors Assemble! (webcast)|Doctors Assemble!]]'')
  +
  +
<!--Examples following this point focus on how the other Doctors felt about this particular incarnation in chronological order-->

The [[Fourteenth Doctor]] remembered his predecessor being a "really brilliant woman". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destination: Skaro (TV story)}})
  +
  +
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's feelings and opinions on their companions and other friends and allies-->
  +
The Doctor considered [[Graham O'Brien]], [[Yaz Khan]] and [[Ryan Sinclair]] to be her "best friends". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}) She was encouraging with them, especially when they made a connection or deduction, showed prowess, acted well in a crisis, or came up with a good plan of action. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}} {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|Praxeus (TV story)}}) Nevertheless, when one of her friends had a "bad idea", she did not shy away from saying so, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A New Beginning (comic story)|A New Beginning]]'') being stern with Graham when he expressed his intent to kill [[Tzim-Sha]] to avenge Grace, warning him he would not be invited back into the TARDIS if he carried it through, and expressed her pride in him when he chose not to [[murder]] Tzim-Sha. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}) She would also get agitated with them when she was in a poor mood, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|Ascension of the Cybermen (TV story)}}, {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}}) and was slightly miffed when Ryan suggested that being away from the TARDIS had been good for him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}})
  +
  +
Wanting to keep them safe above all else, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}}) she always gave her friends the chance to walk away or stay behind when faced with danger, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}}) or would order them to retreat if the dangers proved too severe, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Ascension of the Cybermen (TV story)}}) and preferred to face an enemy alone. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}} {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}, {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}})
  +
  +
She had a much friendlier approach to [[Santa Claus]] than her [[Twelfth Doctor|immediate predecessor]], even allowing him to borrow [[The Doctor's TARDIS|her TARDIS]] for an emergency, ([[WC]]: ''[['Twas the Night Before Christmas (webcast)|'Twas the Night Before Christmas]]'') in spite of her dislike of being separated from her ship.

  +
Like her early incarnations, the Thirteenth Doctor was not openly interested in [[romance]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}) but retained a respect for it, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}}) even describing herself as a "romantic", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Praxeus (TV story)}}) though she disliked being flirted with. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}}) She purposely distanced herself away from the idea of being romantic to spare herself the pain that came with outliving her lover, preferring to "live in the present" and enjoy the relationships she had, though she admitted that she would date Yaz, were it not for her inability to "fix [her]self to anything".

According to [[Graham O'Brien]], when reflecting on her attitude after seeing a ravaged Gallifrey, "one minute [she was] all smiles, [and the] next minute [her] mind [was] somewhere else", but he still believed that the Thirteenth Doctor was "the best person [he knew]".

[[File:Thirteenth Doctor "Right then".png|thumb|left|The Doctor prepares to regenerate. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'')]]
  +
When the Doctor was warned about her impending regeneration, she reacted with shock and worry, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}) and reacted with immense fear when the [[Dalek Executioner]]s were about to kill her. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}) Though she wished she could "go on forever", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}}) and raged that she "want[ed] more time" when her regeneration was triggered by the [[Spy Master]] redirecting a [[Qurunx]] energy beam, the Doctor was quick to compose herself to comfort Yaz, whom she treated to [[ice cream]] as a parting gift, telling her of her love for her companions and how she "loved being [herself]". Ultimately, the Doctor chose to regenerate alone, enjoying a sunrise on top a cliff, telling her next incarnation they were "tag[ged]", though she was saddened not to "know what happen[ed] next". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}})

The Thirteenth Doctor had some trouble adjusting to perceptions around her new [[gender]], taking some time to get used to people calling her "Ma'am" and "[[Madam]]". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}) While she would become frustrated when facing judgement because of her new form, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}, {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}) she saw advantages in "[looking] like a girl" in interactions with others, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Chasing the Dawn (short story)|Chasing the Dawn]]'') and openly enjoyed getting opportunities she never had when she was a man. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}}) The Doctor would occasionally slip up when referring to herself, forgetting to account for the change in her [[gender identity]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}) as she did not consider herself to be a man or a woman "in the way that [humans] understand" such things. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Good Doctor (novel)|The Good Doctor]]'')
−
The Thirteenth Doctor spoke with a northern accent, much like her [[Ninth Doctor|ninth incarnation]]. Also like her ninth incarnation, she also used "Oi" to get attention from someone. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]'')
  
   
  +
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's accent-->
−
Like her [[tenth incarnation]], she would consider good things to be "brilliant". ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'', ''[[Rosa (TV story)|Rosa]]'')
  
  +
Like her [[ninth incarnation]], the Thirteenth Doctor spoke with a Northern accent, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}}) and also used "Oi" to get someone's attention, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}, {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}, {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}}) when beginning a counter-argument, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}} {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}) or when she felt insulted. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Can You Hear Me? (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}})
   
  +
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's catchphrases and recurring wording-->
−
Early in this incarnation, the Doctor had some trouble adjusting to her new gender, telling the temporarily-dimensionally-displaced TARDIS "Come to Daddy" before correcting herself to say "Mummy" ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ghost Monument (TV story)|The Ghost Monument]]''), and musing that she was having trouble getting used to people calling her "Ma'am" during a trip to Montgomery. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rosa (TV story)|Rosa]]'')
  
  +
After struggling to find the right term of affection to refer to her companions as, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}, {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}) the Doctor eventually settled on calling them her "[[fam]]", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}, {{cs|Ascension of the Cybermen (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}) after twice testing the waters with it, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}) and would call a larger ensemble of her friends the "extended fam". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) She even addressed all her previous incarnations as her "fam" when bidding them farewell. ([[WC]]: ''[[Doctors Assemble! (webcast)|Doctors Assemble!]]'')
  +
  +
When she came to a realisation, the Doctor would utter, ''"oh"'', as the information dawned on her, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}, {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}, {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}, {{cs|Praxeus (TV story)}}, {{cs|Can You Hear Me? (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}, {{cs|Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)}}) and tended to give a yelp when surprised. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}, {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}}, {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}},{{cs|Can You Hear Me? (TV story)}}, {{cs|Ascension of the Cybermen (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}, {{cs|Village of the Angels (TV story)}})
  +
  +
Similar to her [[tenth incarnation]], the Thirteenth Doctor would consider good things and ideas to be "brilliant", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}}, {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}) but would also use the word in a sarcastic sense, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}, {{cs|Village of the Angels (TV story)}}) and to describe how someone performed in a crisis, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}) or when describing a person in general. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}, {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}, {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}, {{cs|Praxeus (TV story)}}, {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}) Also like the Tenth Doctor, she was quick to apologise for her own actions and words, as well as when she felt responsible for others' circumstances. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}} {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}, {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|Ascension of the Cybermen (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}, {{cs|Once, Upon Time (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}, {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}})
  +
  +
She also made a habit of saying, ''"Right"'', to start her sentences, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|Arachnids in the UK (TV story)}}, {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Witchfinders (TV story)}}, {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}, {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}, {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}, {{cs|Praxeus (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}, {{cs|Eve of the Daleks (TV story)}}) and would say things were going to be "fine" to reassure people, or when describing an ongoing situation, usually when all evidence pointed to the contrary. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}, {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}})
  +
  +
When pressing someone to perform an action in a hurry, she would say she would say "chop-chop", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) "get a shift on", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}; [[COMIC]]: ''[[Mistress of Chaos (comic story)|Mistress of Chaos]]'') or "quick smart". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Village of the Angels (TV story)}}, {{cs|Survivors of the Flux (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}})
  +
  +
When speaking in absolutes, she tended to describe a development, or even a person, with "total", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}, {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}, {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}}) "proper", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}, {{cs|Village of the Angels (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) or "totally". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}, {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}) She would also vocalise her usage of incorrect spelling, such as with "skillz". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Resolution (TV story)}})
  +
  +
She was known for giving speeches that had an educational quality to them, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}, {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}) and for referring to others by a title, codename, rank or even by their full name.

The Thirteenth Doctor would regularly lean her face forward, with her eyebrows lowered and her upper lip stretched upwards, with it being rare for her to go a full adventure without once scrunching her face up.

The Thirteenth Doctor used a point system to grade her companions to mark how well they performed. She alternated between giving out points ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}, {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) and gold stars, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}} {{cs|Praxeus (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|War of the Sontarans (TV story)}}) as she could not remember which she had initially decided upon.

(TV story)}}, {{cs|Can You Hear Me?

The Thirteenth Doctor demonstrated astute detective skills, being able to [[deduction|deduce]] a person's [[thought]] pattern through [[eye contact]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (TV story)}}) tell when she was talking to a bad [[lying|liar]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)}}) unearth a truth by studying someone's facial reaction, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}) and, occasionally, tell when someone was attempting to deceive her. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}) Likewise, she was an effective liar herself, able to trick an entire fleet of [[Dalek]]s that she was piloting her TARDIS for them to ambush her, only to reveal after she had trapped them that it was set to take them to [[the Void]] to destroy them. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)}})

Using her [[nose]], the Doctor could precisely time when her regenerative process would cause her to faint. Having recently regenerated, the Doctor was able to survive a great fall, and casually get up and spring to action, completely fine. However, the process caught up with her, eventually causing her to fall unconscious to nap and recharge.

She was also a skilled mechanic, able to make her own sonic screwdriver entirely from scrap on 21st-century earth. She could also build her own teleport to track the TARDIS, although mixed up the co-ordinations as she accidentally brought her friends with her and teleported into space rather than a planet. She also demonstrated astute detective skills, correctly determining a train driver died of shock rather than by a forceful attack. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]'')

With the aid of [[Venusian aikido]], the Doctor could use her pinkie [[finger]] to paralyse someone without harming them by pressing on their [[throat]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}, {{cs|Kerblam!

By placing her hand on someone's temples, the Doctor could erase their memories, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spyfall (TV story)}}) search through their memories to find information, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)}}) or project herself into their mind. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Village of the Angels (TV story)}}) In extreme cases, she was capable of telepathically inducing a state of death into someone by showing them how they were destined to die and making their bodies believe the illusion.

The Doctor initially struggled to pilot her TARDIS after leaving [[Desolation]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ghost Monument (TV story)|The Ghost Monument]]''), failing at least fifteen times to take Graham, Ryan and Yaz back to [[Sheffield]]. Although, she managed to pilot them to an asteroid successfully as intended. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rosa (TV story)|Rosa]]'')
  
  +
Having a specialty for "high-speed inventing", the Thirteenth Doctor was a skilled [[inventor]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}) able to craft new contraptions from ordinary raw materials, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}}) or, at any given moment, to alter and adapt technology already at her disposal to meet various needs.

Though she favoured elegance in [[technology]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (TV story)}}) the Doctor had little trouble working with more unorganised complexity, even when, to her frustration, some layers "[made] no sense". She was able to quickly reformat Ryan's [[mobile phone]] into a tracker to find the [[gathering coil]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) and reactivate [[Twirly]] to be plugged into the [[Kerb!am]] System.

The Thirteenth Doctor is the first and, {{As of|2018|lc=y}}, only incarnation of [[the Doctor]] in [[Doctor Who|the show's]] history to be played by a woman. Before [[Jodie Whittaker]], though, the idea of a woman Doctor had been explored.

The idea that a female actor could take the role of [[the Doctor]] was first publicly introduced by [[John Nathan-Turner]] and [[Tom Baker]] in [[1980]]. By Baker's suggestion, he told the press, "I certainly wish my successor luck, whoever he—''or she''—might be."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/uncomfortable-with-a-female-doctor-who-its-time-to-admit-your-real-motives|title=Uncomfortable with a female Doctor Who?

Dr HER?'', talking about Davison bowing out, Nathan-Turner said; "the hunt for a new doctor starts today and it's quite feasible it will be a woman". [[Colin Baker]] was eventually cast as the [[Sixth Doctor]].

The Thirteenth Doctor resembled a woman in her mid-thirties, with [[hazel]]-coloured [[eye]]s surrounded by crow's feet wrinkles. She had jaw-length [[blonde]] [[hair]] with dark roots parted to her right and curled around her ears, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}}) though her hair became straightened by the end of her imprisonment in the [[Judoon prison]].

In preparation for [[Umbreen]]'s wedding to [[Prem]], the Doctor had [[henna]] [[tattoo]]s temporarily applied to her arms by [[Hasna]]. She also had a flower tucked behind her left ear during the ceremony. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}})

In 1986, creator [[Sydney Newman]] suggested that "at a later stage Doctor Who should be metamorphosed into a woman", offering [[Joanna Lumley]] as the potential candidate for the [[Seventh Doctor]]. [[Frances de la Tour]] and [[Dawn French]] were also mentioned.<ref name="JoLum">http://m.digitaljournal.com/article/298752</ref> Eventually, [[Sylvester McCoy]] was cast in [[1987]].

By the time Whittaker was announced as the actor to follow [[Peter Capaldi]], it was well-established, to viewers and within the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]], that the Doctor could be played by a woman.

Immediately after seeing her reflection for the first time, the Thirteenth Doctor deemed her new face to be "brilliant", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}}) though she was oblivious to the fact that she had changed from male to female until informed by [[Yaz Khan]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}) When she was saw herself in the flesh, the Doctor thought herself as being "cute". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}})

Though a parody, ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'' (1999) by [[Steven Moffat]] introduced ''another'' [[Thirteenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Thirteenth Doctor]], played by Joanna Lumley. This Doctor, upon regenerating, immediately noted that she had "[[etheric beam locator]]s" (calling back to an earlier gag where etheric beam locators had been confused for breasts). When [[Emma (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Emma]] tells her that those are actual breasts, the Doctor says that she "always wanted to get [her] hands on one of these". At the end, she suddenly finds [[the Master (The Curse of Fatal Death)|the Master]] attractive, and they walk off together, arms around each other's waists.

[[Patricia (The Rhino of Twenty-Three Strand Street)|Patricia]] thought that the Thirteenth Doctor's [[face]] conveyed a constant, unashamed amazement, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Rhino of Twenty-Three Strand Street (short story)|The Rhino of Twenty-Three Strand Street]]'') with [[Lee Clayton]] also recognising the intelligence conveyed in her eyes. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)}})

In 2002, the [[Big Finish]] audio ''[[Seasons of Fear (audio story)|Seasons of Fear]]'' features the [[Eighth Doctor]] telling his future/past enemy [[Sebastian Grayle]], in his own first encounter with that character, that the Doctor is "not a glamorous woman at the moment", hinting that he could become such a thing in the future.

The Big Finish ''[[Doctor Who Unbound]]'' story ''[[Exile (audio story)|Exile]]'' (2003), though not set in the prime [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]], starred a female [[Third Doctor (Exile)|Third Doctor]], played by [[Arabella Weir]]. The story tried to establish that, in this universe, [[suicide]] was necessary for a "sex-change regeneration", which was also considered a crime by the [[Time Lord]]s. Later stories, particularly in the [[Steven Moffat]] era, would contradict the idea that changing [[gender]] during [[regeneration]] was anything out of the ordinary.

In 2007, when [[David Tennant]] announced his intention to leave, the UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology (UKRC) wanted the next Doctor to be female, issuing a statement saying: "There is a distinct lack of role models of female scientists in the media and recent research shows that this contributes to the under-representation of women in the field. The UKRC believes that making a high profile sci-fi character with a following like Doctor Who female would help to raise the profile of women in science and bring the issue of the important contribution women can and should make to science in the public domain."<ref name="JoLum" />

In 2010, ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time: Part Two]]'' had the [[Eleventh Doctor]] briefly think he had regenerated into a woman, immediately post-regeneration. He quickly realised that he was mistaken, on finding his [[Adam's apple]].

In 2013, ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'' had the [[Sisterhood of Karn]] offer the [[Eighth Doctor]] the choice of "man or woman", for his approaching regeneration.

The 2002 [[Big Finish]] audio ''[[Seasons of Fear (audio story)|Seasons of Fear]]'' had the [[Eighth Doctor]] allude to the possibility of regenerating into a woman while in discussion with [[Sebastian Grayle]], telling Grayle he was "not a glamorous woman at the moment".

2017's ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'' included a rooftop conversation, between the Twelfth Doctor and [[Bill Potts|Bill]], in which he's only "fairly sure" that his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]] was a man, as it was a long time ago.

This article needs a big cleanup.

As detailed at Thread:264489, to avoid overly long articles, highly-recurring character pages' biography should only have AT MOST 2-3 sentences per story, not whole paragraphs of plot detail. This page needs a major cleanup in that area.

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

You may be looking for another Thirteenth Doctor.

While she was no stranger to keeping secrets herself, the Thirteenth Doctor lived a life full of conspiracies and unearthed truths that left this incarnation of the Doctor unsure of her own identity. Though she managed to hide her insecurities behind a dynamic, curious and endlessly caring persona, she would unleash her furies in short outbursts when in the heat of a stressful moment. However, these moments were few and far between, with the Doctor usually believing in hope, compassion and providing help to anyone who needed it.

Her initial travels were relatively carefree, with her simply enjoying showing the universe to Graham O'Brien, Yaz Khan and Ryan Sinclair, whom she called Team TARDIS and considered her "fam", after they chose to join her upon helping her recover her TARDIS following her losing it in her post-regenerative trauma.

These carefree travels came to end, however, with the return of the Master, who teased a secret to the Doctor after he caused the second documented destruction of Gallifrey. As she processed her home being lost again, the Doctor encountered the Fugitive Doctor for the first time since her mind was wiped by the Division, a secretive organisation founded on Gallifrey, cluing her into a secret history predating her alleged first incarnation. As her history began to unravel, the Doctor was finally told the truth by the Master when they reunited on the ravaged Gallifrey; the Doctor had once been the Timeless Child, found by Tecteun, one of the Founders of Gallifrey, who had experimented on the Child to uncover the secrets of regeneration before handing them over to the Division. Separating herself from her friends to protect them from the Master, the Doctor was imprisoned in a Judoon prison before she could fully digest what she had learned about the Timeless Child.

After she was rescued by Jack Harkness, the Doctor returned to her friends, but arrived ten months after they last saw her, and Graham and Ryan decided to continue with their lives on Earth, while Yaz decided to continue her adventures with the Doctor, having had trouble readjusting to a normal life after being fully immersed in the Doctor's world. Though she treated Yaz as her co-pilot, the Doctor kept her in the dark as she tried to find evidence of the Division to get answers regarding her stolen memories.

After finding a lead in the Lupar Karvanista, the Doctor and Yaz pursued him to Earth as he went to collect Dan Lewis, the human he was species-bonded too, in order to protect him from the Flux, a force which would take apart the very structure of the cosmos, bringing about the end of the universe. With old foes resurfacing from a past forgotten and remembered, the Doctor and Yaz, joined by Dan, forged alliances with new and old friends in order to bring an end to the Flux, which culminated in the Doctor finding Tecteun in the gap between universes, where she found her stolen memories within a biodata module and learnt that the Division, led by Tecteun, had unleashed the Flux to destroy the universe as they prepared to leave for "Universe Two". However, Tecteun was swiftly killed by the Ravagers and, as the Doctor's allies neutralised the Flux, they brought her before the personification of Time, who disintegrated them for their failure and allowed the Doctor to leave, but warned her of her looming fate.

Now knowing her end was nearing, the Doctor contemplated her feelings for Yaz as they escaped the likes of Dalek Executioners and Sea Devils, until they talked over their feelings for each other, electing to maintain their platonic friendship after realising a romantic relationship wouldn't last, with the Doctor ultimately forced to regenerate by the Master in a plot to take over her body, though Yaz was able to reverse the regeneration and bring the Doctor back. However, the Master, unable to accept defeat, fatally wounded the Doctor using the energy beam of a Qurunx, and she regenerated into her next incarnation after amicably parting ways with Yaz.

Biography[]

A day to come[]

When the Tenth Doctor encountered the "Vortex Butterfly", he was cryptically told that he would not be "limited" to "thirteen lives." (COMIC: Vortex Butterfies)

When the Twelfth Doctor broke his toe, Clara Oswald suggested that he regenerate to heal the injury, but he berated the idea as a waste. (PROSE: The Blood Cell) When threatened by Captain Lundvik, the Twelfth Doctor told her she would have to shoot him, Clara Oswald and Courtney Woods, but warned that she would "have to spend a lot of time shooting [him] because [he would] keep on regenerating." Clara, during a falling out with the Doctor, later threatened to "smack [him] so hard [he would] regenerate". (TV: Kill the Moon [+]Peter Harness, Doctor Who series 8 (BBC One, 2014).)

Upon travelling to Essex in 1138 AD after meeting a young Davros, (TV: The Magician's Apprentice [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 9 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2015).) the Twelfth Doctor thought on his past incarnations and his future. Thinking he would be the Doctor forever unless faced with a crisis that killed him, he suspected he would have better eyebrows than the incarnation who came next. (PROSE: Full Stop) While suffering from the common cold, the Twelfth Doctor, overreacting to the illness, considered the possibility of needing to regenerate. (COMIC: The Day at the Doctors) When the Twelfth Doctor confronted Rassilon in Gallifrey's Drylands after escaping from his confession dial, Rassilon contemplated using his gauntlet to force the Doctor to regenerate as a method of torture, wondering how many regenerations the Eleventh Doctor had been granted by the Time Lords, but was interrupted before he could attack the Doctor with the gauntlet. (TV: Hell Bent [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 9 (BBC One, 2015).)

The Twelfth Doctor once gazed at a female mannequin positioned in the doors of the TARDIS as if he held knowledge of his next incarnation being female. (PROSE: A Good Man) The Twelfth Doctor was forced through seven false regenerations by a "regeneration vampire". With the assistance of the Eleventh Doctor, the regeneration energy he expended was returned to him. (AUDIO: Regeneration Impossible) After the Monk invasion, the Twelfth Doctor needed to know if his companion, Bill Potts, was under the control of the Monks and deceived her into shooting him in a rage to see if she had succumbed to the mind control, secretly putting blanks in all the guns, and faking his regeneration to complete the illusion. He made it look like the process had started, but emerged as himself to show her that he had deceived her. (TV: The Lie of the Land [+]Toby Whithouse, Doctor Who series 10 (BBC One, 2017).)

When making his case for entering the dimension of the Eaters of Light to prevent them breaking through an inter-dimensional temporal rift, the Twelfth Doctor noted that he would regenerate if the light-eating locusts killed him. (TV: The Eaters of Light [+]Rona Munro, Doctor Who series 10 (BBC One, 2017).) After the Twelfth Doctor was captured by the Saxon Master and Missy on a Mondasian colony ship, they debated throwing him off a hospital roof to kill him, but decided against it when they realised their uncertainty on how many regenerations he had remaining, believing they "could [be] up and down the stairs all night." (TV: The Doctor Falls [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 10 (BBC One, 2017).)

A new body[]

Main article: Twelfth Doctor's regeneration
Thirteen Regeneration - The Many Lives of Doctor Who

The Thirteenth Doctor nears the end of her regeneration. (COMIC: The Many Lives of Doctor Who)

After the Twelfth Doctor was gravely wounded by the Mondasian Cybermen on the Mondasian colony ship, the regenerative process began. However, tired of "being someone else", the Doctor delayed the change for two weeks (TV: The Doctor Falls [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 10 (BBC One, 2017).) until an encounter with his first incarnation, Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart and the Testimony caused him to concede that another regeneration would not "kill anyone". After taking a final look at the universe and providing advice to his next incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor regenerated inside his TARDIS in an explosive fashion. (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2017 (BBC One, 2017).)

As they regenerated, the Doctor relived memories from each of their past lives while the Twelfth Doctor continued to give advice, recalling the magnificence of their TARDIS, (COMIC: The Many Lives of Doctor Who) Ian and Barbara, (COMIC: The Path of Skulls) the strangeness of some of their adventures, (COMIC: Card Conundrum) their love for London (COMIC: Invasion of the Scorpion Men) and for parts of Earth outside the UK, such as New York City. (COMIC: Time Lady of Means) With the new incarnation becoming a certainty instead of a possibility, her actualised potential sent postcards to various friends as a "hello to the world", including V. M. McCrimmon and Grandfather Halfling in the City of the Saved (PROSE: Postscript) and Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart during his later years. (PROSE: When Times Change...)

As they continued the recollections, the Doctor settled into their new body. (COMIC: The Many Lives of Doctor Who) They next remembered Gallifrey and the regeneration limit, (COMIC: Ophiuchus) how the Sixth Doctor saved the Triumvirs from the Haxeen, (COMIC: Virtually Indestructible) the Master, (COMIC: Crossing the Rubicon) how things were not always as they appeared (COMIC: The Time Ball) and the Last Great Time War. (COMIC: The Whole Thing's Bananas)

As the regeneration finished, the Doctor noticed that her clothes no longer fitted and felt "there was something different about this body". (PROSE: Twice Upon a Time) After the Twelfth Doctor's ring fell off her finger, (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2017 (BBC One, 2017).) the Doctor remembered how the Ninth Doctor had to relearn to be "the Doctor" after the Time War, (COMIC: Return of the Volsci) how the Tenth Doctor helped Elizabeth Garrett Anderson become the first female doctor in England, (COMIC: Nurse Who?) her wife River Song, (COMIC: Without a Paddle) the Daleks and how they were a constant threat throughout her life, how she lost Bill Potts to the Cybermen, and, finally, how her predecessor was critically injured in the Battle of Floor 0507, which led to the regeneration she was now finishing. (COMIC: Harvest of the Daleks)

Post-regeneration[]

ThirteenthDoctor3

The Doctor admires her new face. (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2017 (BBC One, 2017).)

Still hearing her predecessor in her head, who told her he was finally ready to let go, (COMIC: The Many Lives of Doctor Who) the Doctor staggered to the console to examine her reflection and saw her new face, a change she felt was "brilliant". Before she could do more than press a button on the control console, the TARDIS suddenly spiralled into chaos, with the Doctor being thrown out as the time rotor exploded from the damage caused by the explosive regeneration. (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2017 (BBC One, 2017).) As she fell towards 2018 Sheffield, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).) the TARDIS vanished (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2017 (BBC One, 2017).) and she manoeuvred herself to fall into a train to soften her landing, knowing she would survive due to her regeneration energy still being active. (PROSE: Things She Thought While Falling) Unfortunately, this caused her to accidentally lose the sonic screwdriver and sonic sunglasses. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).)

Crashing through the ceiling of the train as it was being besieged by an alien energy coil, the Doctor saved Karl Wright and Graham and Grace O'Brien from the creature by forcing it to retreat and took charge of the situation when PC Yasmin Khan showed up with Grace's grandson, Ryan Sinclair. Waking up in Graham and Grace's house, the Doctor found that she and her new friends had had DNA bombs implanted in them, and she tracked the signal to a Stenza transport pod before confronting the Stenza warrior, Tzim-Sha, who had arrived in Sheffield to hunt Karl as a rite of passage. The Doctor was able to trick Tzim-Sha into activating the DNA bombs that had been downloaded into him and he was forced to retreat, but Grace was killed while trying to overload the coil creature. After Grace's funeral, the Doctor went to a charity shop with Ryan and Yaz and chose a new outfit before rigging up Tzim-Sha's transport pod to find the TARDIS, accidentally bringing Graham, Yaz and Ryan with her. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).)

Winding up on a spaceship crash landing on the planet known only as Desolation, the Doctor and her companions accompanied a duo of space racers, Epzo and Angstrom, while they finished the Rally of the Twelve Galaxies. (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) While on Desolation, the Doctor overlooked the ocean as she considered her uncertainty about her future, knowing only that it would be "amazing". (COMIC: The Many Lives of Doctor Who) The Doctor uncovered a sabotaged science experiment conducted by a race subjugated by the Stenza, who had forced them to create weapons that eventually poisoned the planet and reduced it to a barren wasteland. Cornered by their Remnants, who attempted to read her mind, the Doctor destroyed them by igniting the gas in the air. After the space racers left the planet, having decided to end the race with a draw, the TARDIS returned to the Doctor with a redecorated interior, and the Doctor made to return Graham, Yaz and Ryan to their home. (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

Returning to Sheffield[]

The Doctor had trouble controlling the TARDIS, telling her companions that it was because the ship sometimes had a mind of its own, and made thirteen accidental stops along the way.

On the fourteenth attempt, the TARDIS landed in Montgomery on 30 November, 1955. After Ryan was assaulted due to his skin colour, the Doctor was spared from having to interfere when Rosa Parks stepped up to alleviate the situation. When it was revealed that Rosa had been exposed to artron energy, and with the Montgomery Bus Boycott just a day away, the Doctor discovered that a mass murderer from the far future named Krasko was attempting to prevent the boycott in the hope that doing so would prevent equality, but he could not harm anyone due to a neural restrictor in his brain. Outdoing Krasko, the Doctor and friends were able to keep history on track, albeit by becoming part of the events, and ensured Rosa was arrested after refusing to follow James Blake's order to move seats for Graham to sit on the bus. (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018).)

When Yaz was having her "time of the month", the Doctor took her to the TARDIS Hungarian bathroom and told her of the time she met Amelia Earhart in her eleventh incarnation. (PROSE: Chasing the Dawn)

ArachnidsInTheUK 4

The Doctor examines a small spider. (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

The Doctor eventually got the TARDIS to Sheffield, but decided to stick around for tea with Yaz's family, in the course of which she found that the Khans' neighbour had been killed by a giant spider. When Graham arrived claiming to have found another giant spider in his house, the Doctor found that a Robertson Luxury Hotels hotel was at the epicentre of the spider sightings due to it being built on an old mine filled with waste disposed by Jack Robertson's disposal company that caused them to mutate. The group trapped the brood of spiders in Robertson's panic room, though Robertson killed the spider mother even though it was already dying.

Later that night, Yaz, Ryan and Graham chose to continue travelling in the TARDIS; the trio accepted the risks, pulling the dematerialisation lever together to continue their journeys as Team TARDIS. (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

Early travels as Team TARDIS[]

The Doctor took her friends to a singing waterfall made of pink crystals, a unicorn sanctuary on a lost moon, the Big Bang (PROSE: The Good Doctor) and the upward tropics of Kinstarno for rain bathing. (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) After Team TARDIS encountered the Death Eye Turtle Army, the Doctor found herself having to "profusely" apologise to Graham for taking a risk he disagreed with. (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) They also visited the Great Kalisperon Bike-Off. (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

The Doctor and her friends went to see Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953, where the Doctor photobombed the picture of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. She then saw that Eva De Ville, who had been sent to assassinate her, was leaving the scene, but her attempt to interfere resulted in Queen Elizabeth being taken by De Ville by mistake. Tracking De Ville, the Doctor landed the TARDIS on the Phasmatodea Cartel representative who hired De Ville and was able to retrieve the Queen. (COMIC: Where's the Doctor?)

Hoping to stock up on spare parts for the TARDIS, the Doctor went to a junk galaxy to scavenge, where Graham accidentally set off a sonic mine that knocked Team TARDIS unconscious for four days. Fortunately, the Tsuranga medical ship brought them on board for treatment. However, the Doctor found out that the rescue craft was on a preprogramed route and could not take them back to the TARDIS until docking at Resus One. As the Doctor tried to find a way to get back, a Pting managed to get aboard the ship and began eating it. The Doctor stunned the Pting by making it eat a device that overloaded it with energy and ejected it into space. (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

Wedding Punjab

The Doctor officiates Umbreen and Prem's marriage. (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

At Yaz's urging, the Doctor took Team TARDIS to 1947 during the Partition of India, so Yaz could learn more about the life her grandmother, Umbreen, before she moved to Sheffield. Meeting Umbreen and her fiancé, Prem, who Yaz had no knowledge of, the Doctor discovered Thijarians near the body of a deceased holy man and assumed they were responsible for his death. However, the Thijarians revealed that they now take the role of witnesses to watch over the dying and that Prem was destined to die during the Partition. Knowing history had to play out, the Doctor officiated the marriage of Prem and Umbreen in the place of the holy man, before Prem was killed on the orders of his brother, Manish, for marrying a woman of a different religion. (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

During a visit to see Albert Einstein in 1905 Switzerland, Team TARDIS found that the children of Bern had fallen ill, and that giant spiders and rats were roaming the streets. When the Doctor used the ultraviolet setting on her sonic screwdriver, she found that alien starfishes were feeding off the children's imagination and creating the psychic manifestations. The Doctor tried to trap the starfishes by using Einstein as a lure, but his imagination overloaded the aliens into creating dark visions until Mileva Einstein was able to calm his mind. With the starfishes secure, Team TARDIS departed Bern to take them somewhere safe. (PROSE: Einstein and the Doctor)

While travelling in the Time Vortex, the TARDIS was boarded by a Kerb!am Man to deliver a fez, but Yaz found a message begging for help on the packing slip. The Doctor took the team to Kerb!am to find the source and began investigating the mysterious disappearances of workers. The Doctor eventually determined that the Kerb!am AI itself had sent the distress call in response to the disappearances. Shortly after making this revelation, Ryan deduced that Charlie Duffy, a maintenance worker, was behind them, and Charlie revealed his plan to have an army of Kerb!am Men deliver packages with bombs in the bubble wrap to kill customers and prevent automation from completely replacing a human workforce. The Doctor was able to reprogram the robots to open their own packages and detonate the explosives within, destroying the army and killing Charlie when he refused to escape with the Doctor. (TV: Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

Attempting to see the coronation of Elizabeth I, the TARDIS instead brought the group to Bilehurst Cragg in the 17th century, where the Doctor interfered in a witch trial, though she failed to save the accused, Mother Twiston, from drowning. Disgusted at the callousness of the landowner, Becka Savage, the Doctor tried to stop her, but the arrival of King James I forced them to investigate elsewhere. The Doctor, Yaz and Becka's cousin Willa Twiston investigated Old Mother Twiston's grave and saw her rise as a Morax just as the Doctor was accused of being a witch, and she quickly discovered that Becka was infected by the Morax Queen who wanted to resurrect the Morax King. However, the Doctor was able to reactivate the prison to suck the Morax back in, but King James killed the Queen, forcing him to promise to end the witch trials and have the events in Bilehurst Cragg be struck from the history books. (TV: The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

Team TARDIS next arrived at a pizza parlour in New Port City, where they discovered the body of Iz. The Doctor and Graham investigated Iz's local Grey Zone Mall, but found that the posh dress she was wearing wasn't sold there. The Doctor attempted to find the teleportation coordinates to the Black Zone Mall, but instead, Graham and the Doctor found themselves outside the city next to the teleportation system's core. Needing to bypass the core's teleportation block, they returned to the pizza parlour and used spray cheese to provide a forcefield while Graham drove a moped to the core. The Doctor and Graham rescued Ryan and Yaz from having their sperantium harvested, as the city's dictatorial mayor, Ronan Sumners was accidentally ported into a Pizza-Porter oven. (PROSE: Gatecrashers)

On a whistle-stop tour of the Seven Wonders of the Universe, Team TARDIS arrived in the Jewelled City of Glude to find it a burning wreck, before witnessing the destruction of the Twelve Moons of Dhost by missile. The Doctor tracked the source of the destruction back to a film director in Follyrood, who had filmed the destruction for use in a movie starring Errol Flynn. The Doctor unleashed a box of data bugs, who lived on Dhost, that destroyed the director's film equipment and put an end to his destruction spree, and his career. (COMIC: The Greatest Movie Never Made)

The Doctor and her companions travelled to the planet Gatan, arriving in the City of Radiant Stone in the midst of war. The Doctor was caught in the crossfire between two enemy warriors named Tumat and Kraytos who had been fighting for months, causing the destruction of the entire city. With Berakka Dogbolter profiting off of their fighting, the Doctor helped lure them onto a teleport pad and forced them to re-emerge in the same place as one combined being. With the new Chimera stopping the war, the Doctor shut down Berakka's network and bade farewell to them. (COMIC: The Warmonger)

Team TARDIS becomes a family[]

After halting a war on the planet Lobos between the Loba and the human colonists, the Doctor and her companions departed in the TARDIS. When they attempted to return to retrieve Ryan's mobile phone, the TARDIS slipped almost six-hundred-years into the future, where the planet was now ruled by human zealots, served by slave Loba, whose religion was largely based on a misinterpreted joke made by Graham, who was worshipped by them as "the Good Doctor". First relegated to the background and having to do things through Graham's authority, the Doctor came into conflict with the ruling Temple of Tordos, and had to fight an artificially enhanced Loba named Tromos to the death. In the end, the Doctor succeeded in uncovering the lie of the zealots, setting the record straight and brokering a lasting peace between humans and Loba. (PROSE: The Good Doctor)

ThirteenMirror

The Doctor studies a mirror. (TV: It Takes You Away [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

When the TARDIS landed in 2018 Norway, Team TARDIS found Hanne, a blind girl left to fend for herself in a boarded-up house with a monster seemingly hiding in the woods outside. While trying to help Hanne find the monster, the Doctor discovered a mirror leading to another plane of existence, and she found Hanne's father Erik living with his supposedly deceased wife and what appeared to be Grace, upon which the Doctor realised that her grandmother's old bedtime stories about the Solitract were real and that she had discovered the living universe. The Doctor tried to convince Graham and Erik to leave, but both men initially refused to lose their wives again. The Doctor eventually convinced the Solitract into releasing everyone else by offering herself, and the Solitract explained that it only wanted company. The Doctor convinced the Solitract that its existence was threatened by objects foreign to its universe, including her, and it reluctantly let her go. (TV: It Takes You Away [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

After the TARDIS passed through an energy anomaly, it landed in 451 AD Gaul, where Graham and Ryan were separated from the others during an attack, and the Doctor and Yaz were "captured" by Attila the Hun to serve as his new "combat witches" against the power of the mysterious Tenctrama. The Doctor eventually determined that the Tencrama were survivors of a catastrophe on a distant planet who now sought to gain power from the psychic energies generated by the deaths in the wars they were escalating on Earth. The Doctor realised that the Tenctrama's process depended on them having spent the last thousand years subtly "engineering" humanity to be suitable energy sources for them, with the result that the Tenctrama would be contaminated if they absorbed anyone who had been treated with healing technology, such as a healing gel the Doctor had used. The Tenctrama were caught by surprise when they absorbed a horse that the Doctor had healed, the disruption giving the Doctor time to reconfigure their equipment and project the Tenctrama energy into Earth. (PROSE: Combat Magicks)

The Doctor and her friends visited Adamantine, where the entire civilisation lived inside the hollowed shell underneath the planet's exterior, and befriended Ash, one of the native silicon-based life forms, and the daughter of the planet's first scientist, Basalt. The Doctor soon determined that the civilisation was under threat as the exterior of the planet began to crack and let in water which threatened to cool the lava that Basalt's people needed to survive. While Graham and Yaz tried to calm the people, the Doctor and Ryan travelled up to the surface with Ash, learning that the cracks were caused by a mining expedition that had been abandoned after the original team was killed by an exploding gas pocket while leaving their equipment running. The Doctor was able to contact the original company and obtain the necessary command codes to shut down the equipment and use it to repair the worst of the damage threatening Basalt's home city. (PROSE: Molten Heart)

When the TARDIS picked up nine separate distress signals from planet Ranskoor Av Kolos in 5425, the Doctor went to investigate, where she found Greston Paltraki alone in his ship just as Tzim-Sha contacted him, demanding he give back the package he stole in return for his crew's safety. The Doctor had Paltraki led her and her companions to Tzim-Sha's base for a prisoner exchange. Arriving at Tzim-Sha's "edifice", the Doctor took the package directly to Tzim-Sha and learned that he had fooled the Ux into seeing him as their god, at which point he was healed and created a weapon that could miniaturise planets to take revenge on them opposing the Stenza. However, the Doctor and Yaz were able to get the Ux to see their mistake and return the planets to their original places, with Graham and Ryan choosing to trap Tzim-Sha inside one of his own trophy cases instead of killing him, with the Ux sealing the edifice to ensure no-one would be able to free him. (TV: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

Investigating the Catastrophia[]

Attempting to reach the Ninth Moon of Quezzeltrax, the TARDIS instead landed in 1601 Bohemia, where the Doctor, Graham, Ryan and Yaz joined Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler at a gathering of scientists laid out by Baroness Dagmar Ruskovitch, where the Doctor and Ryan were psychically attacked by a monk named Dominik and she was later attacked by energy and left paralysed, continually muttering nonsense. After recovering, the Doctor learnt that Ruskovitch was trying to prevent the summoning of a twisted figure in the castle's cavern, just as it fully manifested in the form of the Doctor herself. With Ruskovitch revealing herself and Dominik to be Knights of the Solitary Sword, who were dedicated to protecting the universe from the Catastrophia, the Doctor and Ruskovitch teamed up to seal its Herald away again, at the cost of Brahe's life. (COMIC: Herald of Madness)

On Acantha, the Doctor and her companions discovered a collapsed mine and were caught in a mag-storm, becoming separated from Ryan. Rescued by a team of Mobox, they were taken to a nearby colony where the Doctor got an audience with Governor K'Lass. K'Lass showed the Doctor his human assistant, Rodney, and eventually got him to confess he thought something was wrong about the mine collapse. They discovered an underground area where humans had collected 600 Mobox under the covers of the mine collapse to harness their power, which Rodney revealed he was part of, including creating the mag-storms. The Doctor disabled the captive Mobox's restraints and lowered the gravity around the colony to prevent conflict, enabling the peaceful arrest of Rodney and his co-conspirators. (COMIC: The Power of the Mobox)

The Doctor next attempted to rescue a worker during a power plant meltdown on Segonus IV but he refused her help due to Berakka Dogbolter's control of the media branding the Doctor as a terrorist. As the Doctor confronted Berakka, a "child of chaos" named Krizanthia Kalos interrupted them to kill Berakka in the Doctor's honour, leaving everyone teleported away in the confusion. Krizanthia used the Eye of M'Dulia to open a portal to the Catastrophia, and with Graham and Berakka safe in a logic cube, the Doctor learnt that the Herald was actually a possible future version of herself, as was its opposite, the Sanity. It wanted to use the Herald to break the Catastrophia into normal reality, destroying it, but a combination of the three selves left only the Doctor. She, Graham and Berakka were rescued by a mysterious woman called Mother G flying the TARDIS along with Yaz and Ryan, and although Berakka still believed the Doctor was a monster, her friends showed her Sharon Allen's more accurate coverage of her actions on a rival news feed. (COMIC: Mistress of Chaos)

Holiday travels[]

While on an unnamed planet, the Doctor received a phone call from Santa Claus, telling her he needed her help with an emergency. She headed straight to Lapland to meet with him. Upon her arrival, Santa told the Doctor that his sleigh had lost its magical flying power. The Doctor lent him her TARDIS to substitute the sleigh, on the condition that he return it once he was finished. (WC: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas)

Thirteenth Doctor and a Dalek

The Doctor faces a reconnaissance scout Dalek. (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).)

After enjoying nineteen New Year's celebrations, Team TARDIS was alerted to strange signals coming from Sheffield, (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).) kicking off the Recon Scout Incident. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) Meeting two researchers named Mitch and Lin at an archaeological site in the sewers, the Doctor obtained alien DNA before heading back to Graham's house, where Team TARDIS found Ryan's absent father, Aaron, had arrived to reconnect with his son. After Ryan left to hear his dad out, the Doctor found that the DNA belonged to a Dalek that had been buried on Earth since the 9th century and was controlling Lin. The Doctor, Yaz, Ryan, and Mitch tracked Lin to a warehouse, where the Dalek had constructed a new casing from scrap, and the whole group tracked it to the Government Communications Headquarters, where they melted its casing with Aaron's microwave oven. The victory was short-lived when the Kaled mutant inside took control of Aaron's body, forcing the Doctor to take it back to Skaro. However, the Doctor opened the TARDIS doors into a supernova, removing it from Aaron. (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).)

Going everywhere[]

A New Beginning Titan

The Doctor and her companions watch the sentient nebulae. (COMIC: A New Beginning)

Stopping to watch the sentient nebulae on Blecplam Two and a Half in 3912, the Doctor and her friends encountered a rip in time that the Doctor recognised as the same anomaly she had encountered before, in her tenth and twelfth incarnations. As a hand emerged from within the anomaly, the rip vanished as before, but the Doctor was able to track it down again to an unnamed planet, where they successfully saved the trapped man, Dr Leon Perkins, before being imprisoned by the Grand Army of the Just. While imprisoned, Perkins explained that he had become stuck in a time-loop when he and his superior, Dr Irene Schulz, activated the prototypes of their prototype vortex manipulators, only for his to malfunction.

Team TARDIS escaped with Perkins back to the TARDIS, however Perkins attempted to hijack the ship at gunpoint; an attempt which the Doctor pointed out was pointless as the TARDIS had neutralised his weapon. The Doctor quizzed Perkins over a pot of tea, with him explaining that he and Schulz had been forced by "the Hoarder" to use their experimental time travel to steal treasures from across the universe, as well as kidnap children to act as hostages, with Schulz was injected with a toxic substance as punishment for disobedience. The Doctor, her friends and Perkins found Schulz on the Hoarder's planet. Using ingredients Schulz had already gathered, the Doctor created an antidote for Schulz’s condition. Whilst Perkins and Schulz confronted the Hoarder, Team TARDIS freed the hostages and tipped off the Time Agency to the Hoarder's activities. After the Hoarder trapped himself in a time loop by trying to escape using Perkins' faulty vortex manipulator, Team TARDIS parted ways with Perkins and Schulz, assured that they would work to get the children and the treasures back to their rightful places. (COMIC: A New Beginning)

When Ryan and Graham suggested throwing a surprise birthday party for Yaz, the Doctor went to look for a cake, balloons, and birthday candles. She bought a Sontaran Frosted Boom Cake at a bakery on Sontar, obtained some Zeppelins for balloons from London during the Blitz, and took a candled Candelabra in Paris. When the party began, the cake exploded and covered Team TARDIS in pink chocolate, but Yaz was happy nonetheless. (PROSE: Dr. Thirteenth)

Arriving in Guelder in the early 16th century, the Doctor was surprised when her companions revealed the knowledge they had gained of the Guelders Wars from a historical podcast hosted by Bethany Brunwine called Hidden Human History. Exploring, Team TARDIS encountered a horde of Stilean flesh eaters, an alien species that were able to gradually take on the traits of different lifeforms after consuming their blood, one of which took a bite out of the Doctor. Tracking the Stilean flesh eaters to North Carolina in 1711 during Cary's rebellion, and to Canada in the 1860s during the Battle of Ridgeway, the Doctor noticed that the creatures were gradually becoming more human the more they fed, just as Dr. Perkins and Dr. Schulz arrived, both having joined the Time Agency since their last encounter with the Doctor.

As they continued to track the creatures, the crew became aware that they were continually visiting times and places that had been covered in Hidden Human History. To learn how the podcast was connected to their recent travels, Team TARDIS paid a visit to Bethany Brunwine at her home in 2019 London, where they discovered that she was the Stilean flesh eater that had bitten the Doctor upon their first encounter. Bethany revealed that consuming the Doctor's blood had slowed her ageing, allowing her to live on Earth among humans for centuries, and that the podcast had been inspired by her encounters with the Doctor in the past. After ending their visit with Bethany, Yaz questioned if the Doctor would give Hidden Human History a listen, to which the Doctor agreed, believing it would be rude not to, considering "[she] helped it happen". (COMIC: Hidden Human History)

Wanting to deal with "unfinished business", the Doctor returned to Gladstone's warehouse to find the escaped alien prisoner her twelfth incarnation had investigated with Harry Houdini. After Houdini and his wife were captured by Wiseman King, the escaped alien prisoner revealed itself to be Houdini's assistant Billy and explained that he had passed between the various magicians for many years while a control ring linked to his prison pod kept him imprisoned. With Billy's assistance, Team TARDIS was able to rescue Houdini and his wife from King. (PROSE: Who-Dini?)

Going to meet with Pythagoras in 500 BC Crotone to return his sunglasses, Team TARDIS found that his daughter, Myia, had been possessed by Zaris of the Argomeld, a race that grew from microbial size by transferring across host bodies. When the Doctor realised that Zaris would destroy Myia and the surrounding area when it jumped to its home dimension, she offered to help Zaris leave safely by using Pythagoras's mathematical tetractys sequence. Once Zaris had returned home, the Doctor made to return the sunglasses, only for Pythagoras to reveal that they weren't his. (PROSE: The Pythagoras Problem)

The Doctor then took her friends to Paramount Studios in 1961 to return the sunglasses to Audrey Hepburn while she was filming Breakfast at Tiffany's. As she returned the sunglasses, the Doctor discovered that PhiLit of the KaaDok, a race obsessed with Earth's media transmissions, had come to scan Audrey's brainwaves for a wax-droid in her likeness made by his supervisor, AaRee. However, after she and Audrey were teleported aboard AaRee's ship, the Doctor learnt that AaRee had dumped faulty androids on Earth, and also employed child labour, and deposed him, leaving PhiLit in charge after reporting AaRee to KaaDok Major's authorities. (PROSE: Mission of the KaaDok)

Solo endeavors[]

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from Coding with the Thirteenth Doctor needs to be added

While Graham, Yaz and Ryan were elsewhere, (PROSE: The Runaway TARDIS) the Doctor thought about the lesson the Moment had wanted to impart on the War Doctor while sitting on a bench in Henry VIII's third-favourite garden. The Moment then joined her on the bench, and when the Doctor asked her why she had helped him the day he saved Gallifrey, the Moment said it was because she did not want to be used. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor [+]Steven Moffat, adapted from The Day of the Doctor (Steven Moffat), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).)

A girl called Lizzie snuck into the TARDIS whilst the Doctor was out and accidentally dropped her peanut butter sandwich down the console. As a result when she returned the TARDIS could no longer be navigated properly. After exploring the time and space using the randomiser, they wound up on the planet Plorp, and had Glorp head into the console to remove it. This allowed the Doctor to navigate the TARDIS once more and take Lizzie back home. (PROSE: The Runaway TARDIS)

The Doctor offered to babysit a young Judoon refugee from a "big fight" on a world far from Earth, but was prevented from doing so by other Judoon. She went to 1966 Dublin after the young Judoon landed there, but found it was already in the care of Patricia. After the Judoon returned to its people, the Doctor gave a few encouraging words to Patricia. (PROSE: The Rhino of Twenty-Three Strand Street)

The Doctor and the Corsair

The Doctor is embraced by the Sixth Corsair. (COMIC: Old Friends)

Whilst visiting Devivian, the Doctor was arrested for the theft of the Gem of Niag due to the culprit having two hearts. The Doctor escaped and traced a TARDIS that had been on the planet recently, suspecting the culprit to be be Missy from the authorities' description. However upon tracing the thief's TARDIS, Team TARDIS discovered the culprit was the Sixth Corsair. After they escaped a pub brawl, the Corsair invited the Doctor to help on a heist which the Doctor accepted, after taking a moment to reflect on her foreknowledge of the Corsair's eventual fate. They rescued a star whale from Raddplina, however the Corsair abandoned the Doctor's companions when authorities arrived. Despite the Doctor's anger, the Corsair insisted they deliver the whale to her employer first, who the Doctor was horrified to discover was the Hoarder. The Hoarder had them imprisoned; however, after having a proper talk in a cage, they escaped and returned to Raddplina for Doctor's friends. The Doctor then contacted Perkins and Schulz to arrest the Hoarder and parted ways with the Corsair, advising her to find some friends to travel with. (COMIC: Old Friends)

The Doctor posed as a museum curator in Venice. Missy visited her to ask for the location of items that had been stolen from her in the 14th century, taking an old map from her and leaving, without realising that she had just spoken to the Doctor. Later, the Doctor saved Antonia from being left behind in 14th century Venice, returning her to the present. She left Antonia with a note chastising Missy for her actions and that she would have to "try harder next time". She then cleared out her office and told her assistant to tell anyone who asked, "the Doctor doesn't work here anymore." (PROSE: The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone)

Whilst the Doctor was hiding from an army of Sontarans inside a wardrobe, the TARDIS detected "an upsurge in psychological signals" and the Doctor sent out an emergency transmission, giving five pieces of advice on what to do in a worrying situation to whomever received the transmission. (WC: Message from the Doctor) The Doctor contacted Bonnie and Petronella Osgood via text message, complaining about how she was stuck in a time eddy, trapping in her repetitive boredom.

Thirteenth Doctor & Sontaran

The Doctor joins a group chat of her past selves. (WC: Doctors Assemble!)

When the Fourth Doctor used his TARDIS tuner to begin a temporal meta-collision with his other incarnations, the Thirteenth Doctor learnt that Earth was under threat from a pandimensional entity that had trapped her fourth incarnation in his TARDIS. While the Thirteenth Doctor argued with her other incarnations, the War Doctor used encoded messages from the Sixth Doctor to stop the invasion before it began, and the Sixth Doctor installed a way to expel the entity from the Fourth Doctor's TARDIS, ending the crisis. (WC: Doctors Assemble!)

Answering a distress call apparently from the Shadow Proclamation, the Doctor travelled to a mysterious moon that she discovered were parts of her TARDIS from alternate timelines, and that the TARDIS had sent the signal, brought together by Siblings Different and Sibling Same, who wanted revenge on the Doctor for their anomalous existence, caused when the Time War ended. Their plan was to use their patchwork TARDIS to undo the Time War, but it immediately starting falling apart upon activation, threatening the stability of the universe, but disaster was averted when Same sent his paradox energy into Different and returned the TARDIS pieces to their own timelines, killing himself in the process.

Whilst finishing repairs to the TARDIS in Sheffield, the Doctor was reunited with her friends by MI6 and brought to C who tasked her with investigating a series of bizarre attacks on spies across Earth. The Doctor contacted her old friend "O", and learnt that the attacks were linked to VOR CEO Daniel Barton and aliens from another dimension called the Kasaavin. When Team TARDIS and "O" went to confront Barton, he fled in his private jet, where, after Barton escaped, "O" revealed that he was actually the Spy Master and was also behind the attacks. As he left her and Team TARDIS in the crashing plane, the Doctor was taken by the Kasaavin, who transported her to their realm.

The Doctor and Ada Lovelace

The Doctor and Ada Lovelace face the Spy Master. (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

As she explored the area, the Doctor encountered Ada Lovelace, who seemed to naturally be able to enter the dimension. Arriving in 1834 London, she learned that the Master was following her and that his plan covered various time periods. Using the Silver Lady figurine Ada used to enter the Kasaavin's realm, the Doctor and Ada arrived in 1943 Paris, where they were rescued from the Master and the Nazis by Noor Inayat Khan. Contacting the Master with a psychic link, the Doctor arranged to meet him at the top of the Eiffel Tower, where she learned that the entire plan was to get her attention so the Master could tell her that Gallifrey had been destroyed. Leaving the Master to be arrested by Nazis after she had Noor frame him as a traitor, the Doctor stole his TARDIS and, with help from Ada and Noor, foiled the Kasaavin's plan, allowing them to take the Master back to their realm with them as they fled.

After returning Ada and Noor to their original time periods, the Doctor returned to Gallifrey, only to learn it had been ravaged and left in flaming ruins. In a hologram message left by the Master, she learned that it was his doing, as an act of revenge after learning about the Timeless Child and how the Time Lords' history had been built on a lie. The Doctor then travelled with Graham, Yaz and Ryan for some time in a weary mood, until they convinced her to open up about her past to them. (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) The Doctor would occasionally return to her destroyed home planet, while also trying to find evidence of the Master escaping the Kasaavin.

Grieving for Gallifrey[]

After the Doctor accidentally interrupted the mating season of the Deep-Space Squids, Graham revealed he had been collecting coupons for a free holiday, which Team TARDIS was immediately transported to. Arriving at Tranquility Spa, the Doctor investigated strange happenings around the spa which the staff had withheld, discovering that the spa had been a "Fakation" built on an orphan planet. When an old lady named Vilma lost her partner Benni to the local Dregs, the Doctor insisted on them rescuing him, during which they found out that Orphan 55 was Earth in the future and the Dregs were mutated human survivors. Escaping back to the spa, she and the team tried to fight off the Dregs, but, ultimately, Team TARDIS had to escape by teleporting back to the TARDIS, leaving the friends shaken at the possible future.

The Doctor tried to take her friends to 51st century New Asgard but instead arrived in Brideport in 1962. There they discovered the town was falling under the influence of a Piggybacker, which had possessed local teacher Edith Harcourt. Working with a family of aliens who had taken refuge from the Piggybackers in the town, the Doctor was able to combat its influence and convinced Abner Endicott to confront Edith, as he was the only resident of the town that Edith respected. As the Doctor had anticipated Abner was able to convince Edith to resist the Piggybacker, at the cost of her life. Team TARDIS attended her funeral two days later. (COMIC: The Piggybackers)

Working with Bruce, the Doctor and Ryan learnt how local crime boss Chen Luo had accidentally exploited a tiny spaceship belonging to the Kalatra, with him raising his champion Shui Long to take control of Earth. The Doctor and Ryan argued over Bruce’s looming fate next year, with the Doctor reminding him history could not be changed. The trio were lured to a pier, where they reunited with Yaz and Graham, so Shui and Bruce could duel for the fate of the planet. Bruce ultimately prevailed after the Doctor advised him to move the fight to the shore, forcing the Kalatra to withdraw, taking Chen and Shui with them. Afterwards Team TARDIS spent some days in Bruce’s company before departing. (COMIC: The White Dragon)

Unable to persuade them to stop, the Doctor managed to convince the Draconian and company boss to allow the workers’ football team, the precursors to West Ham F.C, to train so they would be prepared for the 1896 Charity Cub Final, avoiding history being changed. (PROSE: The Simple Things)

Tracing strange signals to the early 1900s, the Doctor found Nikola Tesla and his assistant, Dorothy Skerrit, being pursued by strange phantom-like beings trying to capture Tesla. Having arrived in New York in the middle of a feud between Tesla and Thomas Edison, the Doctor investigated Tesla's pursuers and found them to alien scorpions known as the Skithra, who required Tesla to repair their stolen Venusian spaceship. Working with Tesla and Edison, the Doctor and her team fought the Skithra when they threatened to destroy Earth to get to Tesla, with the Doctor and Tesla using the TARDIS to electrify Wardenclyffe to force the Skithra into a retreat.

While undertaking another search for the Master, the Doctor was interrupted by the arrival of the Judoon in Gloucester and discovered that they were hunting a fugitive. The Doctor, Ryan and Yaz entered the home of Lee and Ruth Clayton, finding that although they were both human, Lee was hiding something alien, so the Doctor and Ruth hid in Gloucester Cathedral. Later, the Doctor took Ruth to the abandoned lighthouse where she claimed to have grown up, and she regained her memories from a Chameleon Arch and revealed herself as another incarnation of the Doctor. The two Doctors were briefly captured by the Judoon but escaped and the Thirteenth Doctor was dropped off back in Gloucester, where she was found by Yaz and Ryan, who told her that they had met Captain Jack Harkness. Back in the TARDIS, Graham relayed Jack's message to the Doctor; "Beware the Lone Cyberman. Do not let it have what it wants." The TARDIS alarms then sounded, notifying her of alerts from three different locations, and Team TARDIS took off to investigate. (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

Dropping off Ryan in Peru and Yaz and Graham in Hong Kong, the Doctor travelled to a beach in Madagascar, where she found a naval officer in danger who exploded into dust after scales emerged all over his body. With Ryan uncovering similar, he and Gabriela Camara entered the TARDIS with Graham and Yaz, who had gained the company of Jake Willis and his sick husband, astronaut Adam Lang. The Doctor ventured back to Madagascar where she discovered that Adam had been infected with an alien pathogen. While working on an antidote, the Doctor discovered that Suki Cheng was behind it all and the team fled to the TARDIS so Adam could be healed. She tracked Suki to the bottom of the Indian Ocean, who explained about Praxeus before succumbing to it herself, leading the Doctor to disperse the antidote into the atmosphere.

The Doctor travelled to Earth fifty years after the 22nd century Dalek invasion had ended to visit Susan, who was now a widow. She made her breakfast and invited her to take out her anger on the remains of a Dalek. (PROSE: Fellow Traveller)

As the Doctor stood in a fountain at the heart of the Villengard banana groves, the Moment appeared again to continue their conversation from a year ago. The Moment told her that she helped because the universe had a need for the Doctor, and, at that point, they were in danger of stopping. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor [+]Steven Moffat, adapted from The Day of the Doctor (Steven Moffat), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).)

While Androgar proclaimed that "all thirteen" of the Doctor's incarnations were present during the salvation of Gallifrey, (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Steven Moffat, 50th Anniversary Specials (BBC One, 2013).) the Twelfth Doctor admitted to the Eleventh General that he was unsure how many more versions of himself had actually arrived, only certain there were enough versions of himself and the TARDIS above Gallifrey to look like "a blizzard"; (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor [+]Steven Moffat, adapted from The Day of the Doctor (Steven Moffat), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).) indeed, Gallifrey had once foreseen that every incarnation of the Doctor would unite above the planet, which would logically mean the Thirteenth Doctor was involved. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual)

Travelling to an earlier point in the Last Great Time War, the Doctor gave a bandolier to Cass Fermazzi and learnt about the parts of her upbringing that encouraged her to fight, such as a robot clown that provided her with therapy. As she had previously realised, it was the same robot the Eleventh Doctor and River Song had repaired, confirming the Doctor's theories that they were inadvertently responsible for Cass's demise. Unable to save Cass because of how tied into her personal timeline she was, the Doctor watched her go. Reflecting on her meetings with the Moment, she was pleased that she finally had an answer as to why the weapon had helped her in her War incarnation. Deciding that her brooding and the "Day of the Doctor" were finally over, she went back to the TARDIS with a renewed vigour.

Dealing with a paradox[]

Thirteen and Ten meet

The Doctor meets a previous incarnation. (COMIC: A Little Help from My Friends)

Arriving in London in 1969, during the time period the Tenth Doctor and Martha were stranded there, the Doctor was intrigued as to why the TARDIS had brought them there. She sent her companions to keep an eye on her past self, wanting to avoid meeting him, and went to meet Martha at the shop she was working at. Attacks by Weeping Angels and Autons forced them to reunite and the Doctors reluctantly worked together to pit the two invaders against each other. The two Doctors parted, believing they had avoided creating a paradox, however upon taking her companions back to 2020 the Doctor discovered Earth was in ruins. (COMIC: A Little Help from My Friends)

In this new timeline, Team TARDIS explored London and discovered humanity had been enslaved by Sea Devils for decades. They were taken to a slave camp, encountering Peter and Jackie Tyler among the slaves, but were freed by an attack led by a Skithra Queen. Realising from her that the timeline had been altered in 1903, with the Skithra having now succeeded in kidnapping Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison and then awakened the Sea Devils to conquer Earth on their behalf, the Doctor took her companions and the Queen back in time to right the timeline. Along the way, the TARDIS collided with a past version of itself belonging to the Tenth Doctor, who had also been embroiled in this paradoxical timeline and found an alternate version of Rose Tyler. The Doctors stabilised their TARDISes and he and Rose joined Team TARDIS in travelling back to 1903.

They met up with Dorothy Skerrit, who revealed both Tesla and Edison had disappeared. After the Queen and Rose killed the Skithra Drones who were about to awaken the Sea Devils, the Doctors took their team to the Skithra ship. Leaving her past self and companions to find the scientists, the Doctor and Queen went to sabotage the ship to destroy it. After doing so, they were attacked by the present Queen and the rebel Queen insisted the Doctor leave without her. The Doctor returned to the TARDIS as the Tenth Doctor and Fam were bringing the scientists aboard and revealed the Queen wasn’t coming, to her friends’ horror. She dropped Edison and Tesla off back on Earth after which the Tenth Doctor and Rose departed whilst she took her friends to the restored 2020. Whilst there she suddenly realised there was another flaw in the timelines and rapidly left, leaving her friends behind. (COMIC: Alternating Current)

After dropping Team TARDIS back in Sheffield to spend some time with their friends and family, the Doctor noticed an alarm from 1380 Aleppo, where she found a young woman named Tahira hiding from a Chagaska, just as she received complaints from her friends about strange events at home. Picking up her friends with Tahira in tow, the Doctor followed Graham's visions, which saw them travelling to a space platform in the far future where a geo orb was stuck between two planets in an everlasting extinction event with a woman trapped inside. The Doctor was confronted by the immortal Zellin, who revealed that he had set the trap for her to unlock his long-imprisoned partner, Rakaya, from the geo orb, but she lured them to Aleppo and trapped them both inside the geo orb with the Chagaska. Back in the TARDIS, the Doctor decided to take Team TARDIS to see the creation of Frankenstein as a distraction from the thought-provoking events. (TV: Can You Hear Me?

The Haunting of Villa Diodati (TV story)

The Doctor fights Ashad for the Cyberium. (TV: The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

Going to Lake Geneva in 1816 Switzerland, Team TARDIS were greeted at Villa Diodati by Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, Claire Clairmont, and John Polidori, but not Percy Shelley. As strange happenings persisted in the house, the occupants soon found themselves trapped in various areas of the house, until the Doctor worked out that they were being deceived by a perception filter. During this time, the occupants saw the arrival of Ashad - the "Lone Cyberman" - who was in search of the Cyberium, an AI which contained all the knowledge of all Cybermen. After finding Percy Shelley hiding in the cellar, the Doctor figured out that he was the Guardian Ashad sought, as he had found the Cyberium. The Doctor eventually took the Cyberium from Percy and gave it to Ashad, who then vanished. Team TARDIS then left to find and stop him from restabilising the Cyber-Empire in the far future, using coordinates Shelley had deciphered from the Cyberium. (TV: The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

The truth of the Timeless Child[]

After constructing various countermeasures to combat the Cybermen, Team TARDIS travelled to a refugee planet in the far future in the aftermath of the great Cyber-Wars, finding only a couple of human survivors left, but they were unable to protect them, so the Doctor told everyone to flee to the rescue ships while she caused a diversion. Stealing a Cyberfighter after briefly disabling Ashad, the Doctor, Ryan and Ethan hoped to meet the others at the Boundary. (TV: Ascension of the Cybermen [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) While experiencing visions of an Irish Gardaí, (TV: The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) the group met Ko Sharmus, who led them to the Boundary, which opened to reveal a portal to Gallifrey, from which the Spy Master appeared.

Forced to accompany him to Gallifrey to prevent him killing her friends, the Doctor was placed in the Matrix by the Master, where she learnt that she was the Timeless Child, an entity who had the ability to regenerate indefinitely and whom the early Time Lords had experimented on and studied to gain the ability themselves. The Doctor managed to escape from the Matrix by overloading it with her memories, and was reunited with her friends, Ko Sharmus and the refugees. Together, they destroyed the Cybercarrier that had landed on Gallifrey and retreated to a vacant TARDIS, though the death particle remained inside Ashad after he was killed by the Master. The Doctor sent the humans back to the 21st century in the spare TARDIS while she confronted the Master, who had created a race of CyberMasters from the bodies of the Time Lords, and despite threatening to use the death particle on Gallifrey, Ko Sharmus did the task for her. The Doctor ran and stole another TARDIS before Ko Sharmus activated the particle, seemingly destroying the Master and the CyberMasters.

Breaking Free! (short story)

After "a tough few decades" in prison, the Doctor was rescued by Jack Harkness and they escaped back to the TARDIS using Jack's vortex manipulator, with the Doctor trying to return to Team TARDIS shortly after they returned to Sheffield, only to arrive ten months later instead. They informed her of Jack Robertson being spotted with a Dalek, and the Doctor went to confront him with Graham and Ryan. When Robertson denied knowledge of building Daleks, he insisted that he was only making security drones run by artificial intelligence, so the Doctor brought him to the factory, which she learnt was a Dalek clone farm being run by a clone of the Reconnaissance Dalek. The new mutants were teleported into the new casings, beginning a takeover of England.

Out of options, the Doctor discreetly lured in the Death Squad Daleks to deal with them, only for Robertson to join forces with them after they had destroyed all the "impure" clones. The Doctor lured the Daleks into the spare TARDIS, which she programmed to fold in on itself and go into the Void, destroying them. Afterwards, Jack left to catch up with Gwen Cooper, and Ryan decided he wanted to stay in Sheffield, with Graham also deciding to remain with him, leaving only Yaz to travel with the Doctor. Though saddened by their departures, the Doctor was happy for them and gifted them their own psychic papers. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).)

Lone travels with Yaz[]

Fearing she may one day become trapped somewhere and need someone else to save the Earth in her absence, the Doctor compiled a book about her life and adventures to help someone protect the Earth without her. (PROSE: Meet the Fam) In her book, she included fact files on her latest adventures, (PROSE: Fact File) reviews of recent destinations she has visited, (PROSE: TARDIS Trip Reviewer) a tour of her TARDIS control room, (PROSE: TARDIS Tour) her own write up on legends of the Timeless Child, (PROSE: The Secret of the Timeless Child) and, after meeting up with River Song, an extract from the The Dark Times Times newspaper article about the Dark Times, written by River. (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times)

The Doctor made sure Yaz had the "experience of a lifetime" during their travels, having fun and seeing "amazing places" together. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) After an argument with a Silurian, a Judoon and a Hath, the Doctor and Yaz got trapped in a joke book, and had to work out what the oldest joke in the universe was to escape. (PROSE: Knock! Knock! Who's There?)

The duo became embroiled in a crisis where the Paradox Cloud spread across time and space. They visited London in the 2020s, Satellite Five in 199909, Regnidorch II, Manhattan 1932 and New New York Hospital. They discovered the cause was the Master's TARDIS being piloted by Kara as she tried to find a cure for her terminally ill daughter Kaibra. They were able to put a stop to it but failed to locate the Master. (GAME: Hidden Mysteries)

The Doctor took Yaz to 1605 only to discover history had been altered so the Gunpowder Plot was successful. Travelling to the night of the explosion, they witnessed Guy Fawkes being arrested and Berthold Schwarz take his place to cause the explosion. They failed to stop Schwarz lighting the gunpowder so fled and travelled back in time to meet his younger self. They discovered he inadvertently summoned an alien knight in an alchemy ritual and stole its gun, killing it. Yaz tried to interfere but was shot in the shoulder by Schwarz, so the Doctor got her back to the TARDIS and dealt with the wound. She explained to Yaz that the alien knight had used its dying breath to curse Schwarz to be immortal until being shot by the last gun on Earth. They travelled forward in time to find Schwarz in the ruins of Earth and he agreed to help them put history right. The Doctor took him back to the Gunpowder Plot where the older Schwarz convinced his younger self not to detonate the gunpowder, breaking the curse. (PROSE: Black Powder)

A message from Yaz (webcast)

The Doctor and Yaz exchange texts. (WC: A Message from Yaz)

Whilst visiting the hanging gardens with Yaz, the Doctor went off to get them Kronkburgers, (WC: A Message from Yaz) but got distracted. While outmanoeuvring a Balderian warfleet in the TARDIS, the Doctor discovered that Yaz had sent her a voice message and replied to it with her own voice message, apologising for her absence and promising to return to Yaz soon. (WC: A Message from the Doctor)

The Doctor spent several months as a science teacher pushing a younger version of Ace into loving chemistry, as well as saving her from a threat. She subsequently erased her memory of their meeting. (PROSE: Chemistry)

After the TARDIS arrived in a forest, the Doctor stayed to fix the TARDIS console's biscuit dispenser whilst Yaz went to explore. The Doctor eventually followed, being disturbed to find women trapped within the nearby trees, and encountered a woman who had been saved from a ceremony by Yaz. Discovering Yaz had been used in her place and was now trapped within in a tree, the Doctor tried to persuade the locals that the practice was wrong and discovered the bard had been leading the ceremonies and telling them the victims were happy. Turning them against him, the Doctor discovered he had been exploiting forgotten technology from an Earth colony and used it to free Yaz and the previous victims of the ceremony.

The Flux crisis[]

Beginning of the crisis[]

Gravity bar 2

The Doctor and Yaz in Karvanista's trap. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

The Doctor identified a surviving Division agent, Karvanista, and tracked him down, not telling Yaz her true reasons for wanting to find him. Karvanista trapped them and left them dangling over a sea of acid, telling them Earth's "final hours" were approaching before abandoning them. The pair managed to use his levitating trap to reach the TARDIS and set off in pursuit to Earth. As they were en route, Swarm made telepathic contact with the Doctor showing her his escape from Divison custody.

Tracing Karvanista to Liverpool, the Doctor and Yaz discovered he had abducted a human, Dan Lewis, and nearly fell victim to a trap he'd left behind which shrank Dan's entire house. Returning to the TARDIS, they briefly encountered Claire Brown, who claimed she'd met the Doctor before in her future, and then set off to Karvanista's ship. There the Doctor confronted Karvanista, disabling his ship and weapon, who refused to tell her anything about the Division and explained he'd only taken Dan as his allocated human to save from the Flux, with the rest of his species also en route to Earth to rescue all of humanity. Confused that she didn't know about the Flux, the Doctor repaired Karvanista's ship so he could show her more, however upon seeing Yaz had freed Dan and regaining his weapon he attacked them, forcing them to return to the TARDIS.

The Doctor tried to take the TARDIS to look at the Flux, but found the ship malfunctioning. She eventually forced it to land on the edge of Earth's solar system and witnessed the Flux approach. After she had another vision from Swarm, in which he revealed they'd fought many times before in lives she couldn't remember, the Flux suddenly turned to attack them. Unable to dematerialise, she piloted the TARDIS towards Earth and warned Karvanista that the Flux had arrived early, guiding his people's fleet to form a shell to protect Earth. With the Flux closing in on the TARDIS, the Doctor tried a final option of breaking the console to unleash vortex energy however it appeared to have no effect on the Flux. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

Combatting the Sontarans[]

Falling through time due to the collision of vortex energy and the Flux, Doctor suddenly found herself, Dan and Yaz at a battlefield in the Crimean War, along with the TARDIS, and encountered Mary Seacole. They discovered Sontarans had invaded the conflict, supplanting Russian forces, however were separated when Dan and Yaz continued falling through time. Promising to find them, the Doctor went to the TARDIS only to find the doors missing so returned to Mary Seacole's British Hotel.

She was appalled to discover British forces were planning to face the Sontarans in battle, so arranged the release of a Sontaran prisoner to organise a parlay with their commander. The parlay failed due to British commander denying the Doctor's authority and having her taken away, resulting in the British forces being massacred. With the commander now willing to listen, the Doctor devised a plan to sabotage the Sontarans' supplies based on Mary's observations, also using their ship to communicate with Dan who was infiltrating an Imperial Sontaran Time Carrier in 2021 Liverpool. The plan worked, forcing the Sontarans to withdraw from the Crimean War, however to her horror as the ships were taking off the British commander used gunpowder to destroy them. The TARDIS returned to her and she managed to reach Dan in 2021, who had dealt with the Sontarans in Liverpool with the aid of Karvanista. (TV: War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

Repairing the Temple of Atropos[]

Entrusting Earth's protection to Karvanista, she and Dan set off to find Yaz. The TARDIS was diverted to the Temple of Atropos on the planet Time, where they were greeted by Azure. She took them to the broken Mouri, where Swarm revealed their role in keeping time in check and that he'd subsituted Yaz and Inston-Vee Vinder for two of them. To the Doctor's horror, he prepared to expose them to the full force of time, wondering how long they'd last. (TV: War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) The Doctor pre-empted him by leaping onto the place of a broken Mouri herself, pulling Dan onto the other, and taking the flow of time upon herself to protect her friends. Hiding her friends within their time streams, she attempted to devise a solution with the surviving Mouri but found herself pulled into her own time stream, experiencing her younger self's original capture of Swarm and Azure at the Siege of Atropos.

Inspired by that event, the Doctor asked the Mouri to hide four new Mouri within the Passenger currently in the Temple so they could retake their positions and restore time to normal. They complied and prepared to send her back, despite her begging them to let her see more from her forgotten past. She suddenly found herself with a mysterious woman who explained the Flux and the two Ravagers had been released deliberately to destroy the universe, because of the Doctor, and advised her to stop trying to fight it. Back in the Temple Swarm congratulated the Doctor, but revealed that time had been broken long enough to release particles of the Time Force. He and Azure left triumphant so the Doctor and her friends returned to the TARDIS. (TV: Once, Upon Time [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One, 2021).)

Facing the Division[]

Thirteenth Doctor distress

The Doctor warns of the Flux. (TV: The Flux is Coming...)

After dropping Vinder off on his ruined home planet, with a device to contact her if he needed to, (TV: Once, Upon Time [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One, 2021).) the Doctor sent out a distress call warning those who received it about the impeding arrival of the Flux along with the other species rallied to its cause. (TV: The Flux is Coming...) A little later, she recorded a message for Yaz in case they became separated, telling her the forces displaced by the Flux would likely converge on Earth so she should find warnings of a great battle to come. (TV: Survivors of the Flux [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) Then, a Weeping Angel appeared in the control room via Yaz's phone, seizing control of the TARDIS. (TV: Once, Upon Time [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One, 2021).)

Evicting the Angel from the TARDIS, the Doctor realised they had arrived at its intended destination which turned out to be Medderton in 1967. Whilst Yaz and Dan helped the locals search for a missing child, the Doctor followed mysterious readings on her sonic screwdriver to Eustacius Jericho's house, where she found Claire Brown. As Weeping Angels laid siege to the house, Claire revealed that an Angel was present in her mind. Making telepathic contact with Claire whilst Jericho held back the Angels, the Doctor spoke to the Angel which revealed it was on the run from the Division and had brought her here for her help to evade the Angels sent to retrieve it. Jericho awoke them as Angels closed in and they fled through a secret tunnel from his basement. The Doctor was shocked that the Angels stopped moving and emerged from the thnnel to find herself surrounded. Speaking through Claire, the rogue Angel revealed it had offered the Doctor to the Angels in its place and that she was recalled to the Division. The Doctor was transformed into a Weeping Angel herself and transported away. (TV: Village of the Angels [+]Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

The Angels transported the Doctor to Division Control outside the universe where she was reverted to normal by an Ood. She was taken before the leader of the Division, who revealed herself to be a new incarnation of Tecteun. Tecteun revealed the Division was destroying the universe and moving on to the next one, and tempted the Doctor to join them with a Chameleon Arch containing her erased memories. The Doctor refused and announced her intent to destroy the Divison, but was interrupted by the arrival of Swarm and Azure. The pair killed Tecteun and cornered the Doctor, promising to end her suffering. (TV: Survivors of the Flux [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) The Doctor attempted to escape back into the universe, but Swarm made contact with her at the precise moment she did. This caused her to be split into three aspects; one remained with Swarm and Azure who taunted her with her erased memories as they prepared the next Flux event; the second appeared in the Williamson Tunnels and was reunited with Yaz, Dan, Jericho and Kate Stewart who had her TARDIS; the third appeared onboard a Lupari ship above Earth with Karvanista and Bel. (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

Saving the universe[]

The Doctors near Earth learnt that the Sontarans had invaded again and both sought to investigate. The Doctor with her companions followed Kate Stewart's suggestion to plant agents in the Sontarans' experiments on human psychics, using her TARDIS to recruit Claire from 1967 at Jericho's request. The Doctor with Karvanista and Bel deliberately got them captured by the Sontarans to get information. Whilst being held with Karvanista, she asked him about their past and he confirmed he'd once been her companion. The imprisoned Doctor was interrogated by the Grand Serpent until the Doctor with her companions rescued her and Karvanista. Together the two Doctors discovered the Sontarans' plan to lure Daleks and Cybermen fleets to the Flux event, which they were learning the starting point of via the psychics, in hopes their combined matter would resolve the Flux. They also used the TARDIS to rescue Vinder and Diane from Swarm and Azure's Passenger. The two Doctors sabotaged the Sontarans' plan by helping Karvanista regain control of the Lupari fleet, after the Sontarans had stolen them, changing their formation so the Sontaran fleet perished with the Daleks and Cybermen, however this proved insufficent to stop the Flux. Following a suggestion by Diane, the Doctors summoned the Passenger whose endless matter proved sufficient.

The Doctor meets Time

The Doctor face-to-face with Time. (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

The third Doctor was taken to the Temple of Atropos by Swarm and Azure, who planned to offer her to Time upon the Temple's destruction by the Flux. An embodiment of Time appeared before them and dismissed the Ravagers after revealing their Flux had failed. To her surprise Time left the Doctor alone, instead bringing her three aspects back together and giving her hints of her looming fate. The Doctor was then returned to the TARDIS, having recovered the Chameleon Arch from Swarm's remains. She subsequently left Bel and Vinder with Karvanista, returned Claire home and then invited Dan to continue travelling with her and Yaz. As Yaz showed Dan around, the Doctor placed the Chameleon Arch inside the console and asked the TARDIS to hide it from her, unless she really asked for it. (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

Final adventures[]

Thirteenth Doctor gets magic lamp

The Doctor uses the magic beanstalk to get the magic lamp. (COMIC: It's Behind You!)

To unwind, the Doctor, Yaz and Dan went to see a pantomime of Cinderella, which took a turn for the adventurous after the Doctor tried something during the interval to make the show more exciting, only to accidentally summon real versions of various pantomime characters to the theater (having failed to understand the true nature of the "way to summon the magic of panto" that she'd read about on Spacebook). Though Yaz had to fight off the Crocodile from Peter Pan while Dan dueled Captain Hook, the Doctor was able to put things to right using one of the three wishes from a magic lamp, and things returned to normal, allowing the time travellers to witness the second half of the real show. (COMIC: It's Behind You!)

A week after saving the universe, the Doctor set about engaging the TARDIS's reset system for the first time ever, in order to remove the debris leftover from the Flux. She intended to have herself and her companions wait the process our on an alien beach, where she'd promised Yaz that she'd finally tell her all about what she'd been going through. However, they found themselves in ELF Storage, in Manchester, instead. She, Yaz and Dan encountered a Executioner Dalek who exterminated them, however they were resurrected when the TARDIS created a time loop. After numerous fatal attempts to evade the Daleks with two bystanders, Sarah and Nick, the Doctor devised a successful plan to destroy the Executioner Daleks using explosives stored in the facility, ending the loop entirely by fleeing the building. Afterwards she and her companions departed in the restored TARDIS, deciding on a whim to go look for the lost treasure of the Flor de la Mar. (TV: Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

Thirteen looks at Yaz (Legend of the Sea Devils)

The Doctor stares at Yaz. (TV: Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

The trio dressed up in period-appropriate clothing only to end up four hundred years out of date from their intended target, finding themselves in 1807 China where they thwarted a pirate Sea Devil's plan to use the Keystone to flood the entire Earth. Before Sin Ji-Hun laid down his life instead, the Doctor prepared to fulfill Time's prophecy by sacrificing herself to destroy the Sea Devil base, and just before she did so, she confessed to Yaz that if she were to allow herself to enter a relationship again, it would be with Yaz; however, after they made it out alive, she had a tender conversation with Yaz on a nearby beach where she apologetically told her that she could not bring herself to pursue such a relationship, even if the immediate threat had passed, because she knew that "sooner or later, it [would] hurt". (TV: Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

The trio investigated a series of disappearances in a town in 2022. Suspecting ghost tours at nearby Hydra Hall may be connected, the Doctor and Dan visited the owner, Vera Parker, whilst Yaz went to the hall. After Yaz reported seeing Roman legionaries at the hall, they hurried there and found her missing, leaving only her broken phone. The Doctor and Dan then suddenly found themselves transported back in time to earlier in the hall's history in 1942. Finding a link to an alien market in a pocket dimension where Yaz had been sold as a trinket, the Doctor located her but discovered she was already leading her fellow captives against them. The Doctor helped them reach a portal back to 2022, however was cornered by the alien sellers and closed the portal to stop them following Yaz. Finding the centre of market's pocket dimension, she created a time centrifuge to reopen all the portals and send the sellers back where they came from and then found a portal back to Dan and Yaz. (COMIC: Hydra's Gate)

Visiting the edge of reality with her friends to see if there was any life there, the Doctor became infected with a psychic virus that began steadily erasing people who'd known her, turning them into ghosts. (AUDIO: Salvation) The Doctor broadcast a message to Earth warning that something was coming and people she had known were being "redacted from reality". (AUDIO: Introducing Doctor Who: Redacted) She sent a letter to Abby McPhail saying she'd be in touch but couldn't do so directly as she might be contagious. (AUDIO: SOS) She later contacted the Black Archive, talking to Cleo Proctor. She tried to tell Cleo to find someone, but interference meant Cleo couldn't understand the message. (AUDIO: Recruits) The Doctor contacted Cleo specifically again via a radio, warning her not to touch the ghosts. (AUDIO: Requiem, Ghosts) The Doctor finally landed in the Powell Estate to find everyone had vanished bar Cleo. The two talked over the situation, with the Doctor revealing what had happened to Cleo's father, and deduced a solution to make the ghosts remember by broadcasting Cleo's podcast about the Doctor, restoring nearby ghosts to normal people. The Doctor had Cleo and her restored friends record an episode in the TARDIS which she broadcast around the world and on other planets to cure all the ghosts. Afterwards she set off to find her friends and deal with the threats that had capitalised on the situation. (AUDIO: Salvation)

The TARDIS team relaxed together on a beach. However, their peace was disrupted when Dan began to see accidents moments before they happened. The Doctor realised he had accidentally picked up her pair of Preventacles, banned glasses capable of seeing slightly into the future. (COMIC: Fear of the Future)

After finding a brochure in the TARDIS straight afterwards, the Doctor, Yaz and Dan investigated the Gardens of Everlasting Summer. There, the Doctor uncovered how the gardens' custodian, Jinpar, had been artificially rewinding time to keep the long-lived residents living in a perpetual state of summer. She convinced him to stop after Yaz was temporarily aged due to Jinpar's resulting time storm. (COMIC: The Everlasting Summer)

Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz in UNIT HQ laboratory in Lost in Time

Yaz and the Doctor explore the Third Doctor's UNIT HQ laboratory. (GAME: Lost in Time)

When a temporal crisis made itself known, the TARDIS made an emergency landing in the Third Doctor's UNIT HQ laboratory, with UNIT HQ having turned into a Waypoint teeming with vortex energy by its experience passing through a singularity into the anti-matter universe. The temporal disturbances were also having an effect on the Doctor herself, who didn't recognise the lab as anywhere she'd been before, even after Yaz found "John Smith"'s badge and frilly shirts. With K9 Mark IV's help, the two were able to charge up the TARDIS with vortex energy and make a quick hop to another location, where they met Sil, who sold them technology to help the TARDIS recharge faster using the unrefined vortex energy. After the Doctor briefly visited Atlantis to help defuse a situation with Sea Devils, they returned to the UNIT lab where the Doctor finally remembered the place and realised she was losing some of her symbiotic nuclei, causing her memory troubles. (GAME: Lost in Time)

Final battle with the Master[]

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from PROSE: The Power of the Doctor needs to be added

Main article: The Master's Dalek Plan

Answering a distress call from a Toraji Transport Network bullet train being hijacked, the Doctor found the CyberMasters kidnapping a Qurunx that she was unable to save from them, with Dan deciding the leave the TARDIS due to a near-death experience in the hijacking causing him to reevaluate his life. After returning Dan to Liverpool, a Dalek traitor contacted the Doctor with information that could help destroy the Daleks before an imminent incursion of Earth, just as the TARDIS tracked down the Qurunx to a cyber-conversion planet in 1916, where the Doctor and Yaz found the the Master's TARDIS keeping the Qurunx imprisoned to power the planet and were then chased off by the CyberMasters, with the Cyber-Leader taunting her on the Master's return. The Doctor was then summoned to UNIT by Kate, where she reunited with Tegan Jovanka and Ace, and told that the Master had defaced paintings and lured seismologists to Naples to kill them. Realising that Time's warnings were coming true, the Doctor secretly planted the Holo-Doctor onto Tegan, Ace and Yaz and then assisted UNIT in detaining the Master. She and Yaz went to meet the Dalek traitor in the Daleks' volcano base, only for it to be a trap set by the Dalek Commander to destroy the traitor and capture the Doctor to take her to the Winter Palace in 1916 where the Master, disguised as Rasputin, was waiting for her.

The Master's Dalek Plan in action

The Doctor is forced to regenerate by the Master. (TV: The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

Using technology he had stolen from Gallifrey in conjunction with the power the Qurunx was feeding the metal planet, the Master imposed the Thirteenth Doctor's forced regeneration and hijacked the process to become her next incarnation. Crying out to Yaz as she regenerated, the Doctor passed on to the Edge of Existence within her mind where the Guardians of the Edge appeared to stop her "moving any further through". The Holo-Doctor worked with her companions to undo the forced regeneration, and Yaz and Vinder eventually returned the Master to the chamber to force him to degenerate back into the Thirteenth Doctor by harvesting the regeneration energy of the CyberMasters, while the Master was forced back into his old body.

Realising she needed "all hands on deck", the Doctor retrieved Ace and Graham from the Daleks' volcano base after they destroyed the Daleks, and Kate and Tegan from the UNIT HQ after they blew it up to destroy the Cybermen. After giving them and Yaz instructions on how to use the TARDIS to take the cyber-conversion planet from 1916 to 2022, the Doctor sent Vinder on his way by fixing his ship before she commandeered the Master's TARDIS to empower her own TARDIS, giving it the energy needed to freeze the erupting volcanoes into steel. She then released the Qurunx, telling it to destroy the cyber-conversion planet. However, the Master, his body failing him due to being too strained, then arrived and redirected the Qurunx so that the Doctor was struck by it's energy beam. As the Master was buried by rubble, Yaz carried the Doctor to the safety of the TARDIS, where she lost consciousness. (TV: The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

Asleep for "a while", the Doctor awoke after Yaz had dropped everyone off at Croydon, but quickly realised she was about to regenerate. Though dismayed, the Doctor elected to treat Yaz to ice cream atop the TARDIS roof while drifting in Earth's orbit to comfort her, telling Yaz how she "loved being with [her]" and that she felt she "need[ed] to do [the] next bit alone", and dropped Yaz off by Dan and Graham on their way to a Companion Support Group meeting. Wanting to see "one last sunrise", the Doctor went to a cliff to take in the "blossomiest blossom". There she regenerated into her next incarnation, telling them "tag, you're it". (TV: The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

Undated events[]

Alternate timelines[]

In a potential future, the Doctor found herself trapped inside the Catastrophia. Due to the Catastrophia's warped temporal laws, the Doctor's timeline from here was split into two outcomes. In one timeline, the Doctor never escaped, and eventually lost her mind, becoming the Herald. In another, the Doctor took shelter inside the logic cube and became the Sanity. (COMIC: Herald of Madness, Mistress of Chaos)

In an aborted timeline, the Saxon Master claimed he had killed the Doctor by throwing her into the heart of a star, after she escaped from being shackled in its orbit. (AUDIO: Masterful)

Psychological profile[]

Personality[]

Playful to the end, (TV: The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) the Thirteenth Doctor was a kid at heart, (TV: Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) looking for even the most mundane ways to have fun in the universe (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Kerblam!

Though she enjoyed having many friends, (TV: The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) and disliked being alone, (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Can You Hear Me?

(TV: Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

Influenced by the parting words of the Twelfth Doctor, (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2017 (BBC One, 2017).) the Thirteenth Doctor was more invested in the personal welfare of others, (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).) taking the time to remember their names upon meeting them as a show of friendship, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Can You Hear Me?

(TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).)

Knowing that her inherent kindness was a detriment, (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) the Doctor felt discomfort when put in a situation where she could only be unhappy, (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).

Fast to take the helm in a moment of crisis, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) she disliked being told what to do, (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and insisting on being in charge when others' leadership resulted in counterproductive results, (TV: War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) believing that she had "all the authorisation [she could] ever need", (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) as she saw her authority to be "mountainous". (TV: The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) Even while trying to act incognito, the Doctor had no patience for others' claims of authority, especially when the authority was misused and unearned by the authoritative figure. (TV: Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) She preferred to "get on with the job", (TV: The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and would become dismissive of those around her when focusing on the task at hand. (TV: Praxeus [+]Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Ascension of the Cybermen [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021)., Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

She would keep her discoveries hidden from others with the mind-set of protecting them from a harmful realisation, (TV: It Takes You Away [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and was not above being cryptic, handing Missy an annotated map of 14th century Venice without explaining it, and leaving Missy to discover for herself what the annotations meant, while also not divulging her true identity to Missy. (PROSE: The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone) However, she would be upfront with her feelings when letting people know when she was afraid or no longer feeling a certain way, (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018). The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., It Takes You Away [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Once, Upon Time [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One, 2021)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) unless it was a subject she was still adjusting too. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).)

Striving to have the moral high ground, (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).) the Doctor was unsympathetic to those that wanted murderous revenge on past tormentors, (TV: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) and did not take kindly to being threatened. (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018).) She was also more passive than her predecessors, being more willing to leave a situation to its historical fate if it couldn't be stopped, (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018). Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and would allow others to step in to quell a situation in her place with little resistance. (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

A self-proclaimed "nutter", (TV: It Takes You Away [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) though one that was never "ridiculous", (TV: Village of the Angels [+]Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) the Doctor had a ruthless side to her, (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021)., Village of the Angels [+]Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) and could quickly turn short tempered and snappish, with not even her friends being sparred from her outbursts. (TV: The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Ascension of the Cybermen [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Once, Upon Time [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One, 2021).) When her friends tried to talk back to her, she would defensively try to change the subject by reminding them of the nice places she took them too. (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

She also had a bit of an ego, boasting about her intelligence, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) not being afraid to brag about her talents, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Survivors of the Flux [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) wanting people to be impressed by her, (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Can You Hear Me? [+]Charlene James and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) and becoming gleeful when the Reconnaissance Dalek recognised her as the Doctor. (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).) She was more concerned about being embarrassed by being wrong instead of more fatal consequences, (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and could get self-defensive over how others described her, being offended when she was accused of having a "small mind", (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).) taking umbrage with being called "little". (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and feeling offended when she misunderstood why Bel was calling her "unstable". (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

Thirteenth Doctor mic (Resolution)

The Doctor speaks with the reconnaissance scout Dalek. (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).)

The Thirteenth Doctor had a love for talking, (TV: The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) frequently rambling to distract herself or others from her worries, or to inspire hope in herself, (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018). Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).) and to distract her foes so she could have time to think. (TV: Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) She once admitted she could talk to herself without fear of isolation, believing that another person in a conversation would just "get in the way". (TV: Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) However, when she starred down an adversary, the Doctor would appear cease rambling to become a confident and direct speaker, often acting in a passive aggressive manner to antagonise her opponents into exposing their shortcomings and take control of their interaction. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

Describing herself as "socially awkward", (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Can You Hear Me? [+]Charlene James and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) the Doctor was capable of inadvertently coming off as rude with her blunt word choices, (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Praxeus [+]Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).) openly pointing out the ineffectiveness of others' aid, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) being clear with her feelings towards someone for their past actions, (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).) voicing her frustrations when people in danger were unprepared for defensive combat, (TV: Ascension of the Cybermen [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and calling Nikola Tesla a "big fat liar" after he tried to deceive her. (TV: Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) When Graham opened up to her about his fears of his cancer returning, the Doctor openly stated her uncertainty on how to respond, instead electing to narrate her movements and admit she would later think of something she should have said to him, which did make Graham chuckle. (TV: Can You Hear Me? [+]Charlene James and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) Like previous incarnations, the Thirteenth Doctor enjoyed it when people underestimated her, deliberately using her awkwardness to make herself seem "smaller", but found it disappointing when people continued to dismiss her after she threw off the persona. (PROSE: The Shadow Passes)

She retained the absent-mindedness of her previous incarnation, tending to forget how many times she did something, (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018).) forgetting whether she was awarding points or gold stars to her companions, (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and only remembering she was holding an item of importance after asking for its whereabouts in a state of a panic. (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) She could forget when someone was still next to her, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and fail to notice when her companions were absence, even when they had been missing for some time, (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Can You Hear Me? [+]Charlene James and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and not check if her instructions were understood before sending them off on an assignment, (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) with a self-admitted tendency to confuse "meaning to say something" with "actually saying it". (TV: Praxeus [+]Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

She also retained her predecessor's veneration of the dead, (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) holding a respect for all living beings, even if they caused harm due to their nature, (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and sought to offer even the deadliest of her foes the chance to retreat, (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).) but would offer no second chances to those that truly irked her. (TV: Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

She didn't like being reminded of being an outcast, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and emphasised with Nikola Tesla for feeling "out of place" among other people. (TV: Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

Upon seeing Gallifrey in ruin, the Doctor reacted with devastation. After discovering the Spy Master was responsible for the act in retaliation for "the lie of the Timeless Child", the Doctor was left in a foul mood, (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) that lasted for some time. (TV: Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) Even after some time had passed, the Doctor was still sore on the subject of dead planets. (TV: Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) She would occasionally revisit Gallifrey. (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) After the Master revealed that she was the Timeless Child of legend before the Division had redacted the memories of her earlier lives, the Doctor had a brief identity crisis, until a conversation with the Fugitive Doctor in the Matrix convinced her that, rather than being reduced to less, she "contain[ed] multitudes more than she ever thought". (TV: The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) However, even after having "decades" in prison to dwell on her discovery, she admitted to Ryan that she was continuing to struggle with who she really was. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).) The Doctor then became desperate to seek answers on her forgotten past, (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Once, Upon Time [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One, 2021).) but, once she held all the answers in her hand, she elected to leave them for another day when she reflected on what she had already learnt. (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

The Thirteenth Doctor retained her eleventh incarnation's fondness for fezzes, (TV: Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) enjoyed wearing plumed headgear, (TV: The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and admired Ryan for how well he looked in a beanie hat. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).) She once noted that when working on something, she liked to lay out all she needed on a table in front of her, allowing her to have a complete view of the task at hand. (PROSE: TARDIS Tour)

She also liked holograms, "big locked doors", (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) the musical Hamilton, (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) the Kerb!am Man, (TV: Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) apple bobbing, (TV: The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) Wellington boots, (TV: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) heavy metal music, (GAME: The Runaway) "pretty" landscapes, (COMIC: Hidden Human History) and laminators. (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

While she once claimed to "love a conspiracy", (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) she disliked ones that resulted in information being purposely withheld from her, (TV: Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and she especially hated "not understanding" something. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) She disliked dealing with people who tried to deny the extraordinary and unexplainable, even after they had witnessed it, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).) and, while she gave quick hugs for greetings and farewells, (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) did not usually enjoy physical contact with others. (TV: Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) She also disliked having empty pockets, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).) bullies, and people in danger. (TV: Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

The Doctor enjoyed tea (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and biscuits, (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) with custard creams being a particular favourite, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and Yorkshire Tea being her preference. (PROSE: The Good Doctor) She liked to have cereal and croissants for breakfast, (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and enjoyed fried egg sandwiches. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).) However, she disliked bourbon biscuits, (PROSE: Chasing the Dawn) and olives. (PROSE: The Good Doctor)

Seeing morality as a strength, (TV: Survivors of the Flux [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) the Thirteenth Doctor stated that love was central to her "faith", believing it to be the better source of belief. (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018). The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) She was also a strong believer in hope, (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and thought that the meaning of life was to continuously try to achieve goals with friends made along the way. (TV: Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) She voiced the opinions that "where there [was] risk, there [was] hope" (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and that there was "always a way out" of a crisis. (TV: Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) She also stood against prejudices, but masked her disgust with gentle comments of acceptance, (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018).) as she though that hate would only spread if left unopposed, (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).) and that "true knowledge [had] to be earned". (TV: The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

Seeing herself as an "expert" on running towards and away from danger, the Doctor believed that running was sometimes the bravest option, either as an act of defiance on giving up or a proof of agency against letting the "monsters" decide one's fate, (COMIC: Hidden Human History) though she didn't think being "a little bit scared [was] a bad thing." (TV: The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) She used jokes to defuse tension, (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) believing that the "bad ones" were the best to use. (WC: Message from the Doctor)

Fearful of the destruction that threatened species' ability to build and live, and seeing that "life must win" to justify itself, (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) the Thirteenth Doctor would view individuals as the source of the problems with the established systems, rather than point fault at the systems themselves, (TV: Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) sympathising with how scary new things could be. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).)

The Thirteenth Doctor disliked weaponry, (TV: Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) opting instead to use her intellect and environment to her advantage, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) even voicing her disapproval when someone resorted to using a weapon, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) though she admitted this was a "flexible creed", as anything that could be rebuilt was "fair game" to be destroyed. (TV: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) Specifically, the Doctor believed guns "made things worse" by agitated attackers, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and that only "idiots" carried knives. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).) After Leon Perkins threatened her with a gun, the Doctor favoured serving him tea over imprisoning him, hoping to come to a common understanding with him. (COMIC: A New Beginning)

Furthermore, the Thirteenth Doctor was passionately against killing, always trying her best to subdue her opponents in a non-lethal fashion, (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and would be particularly outraged if an enemy was killed after they had already been defeated. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) She was deeply disturbed when she was forced to indirectly be responsible for the loss of life, (TV: Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) seeking confirmation from her friends that she had given every opportunity for a better outcome when she resorted to killing her foes. (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).) While she was prepared to unleash the death particle on Gallifrey to stop the Spy Master and the CyberMasters, she was ultimately unable to detonate the device. (TV: The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) However, when facing opponents that posed a great threat to innocent lives and history, the Doctor was more willing to lead them to their deaths. (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021)., War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) When her patience and rage reached their zenith, the Doctor would resort to psychically attacking the one she was enraged with. (TV: The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

She retained the guilt demonstrated in her prior incarnations over the events of the Last Great Time War. Visiting Cass Fermazzi prior to her death, the Doctor expressed her regret over Cass' fate and noted that saving her was impossible as "[she] was too wrapped up in [the Doctor's] timeline". (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor [+]Steven Moffat, adapted from The Day of the Doctor (Steven Moffat), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).) Like her immediate predecessor, she believed that "no one ever [won] at war", (PROSE: The Good Doctor) and also thought that "soldiers [paid] the price for their commanders' mistakes." (TV: War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

Admiring machines that fulfilled a great purpose, (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Can You Hear Me? [+]Charlene James and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) the Doctor would scold those who used the power to create in their efforts for destruction. (TV: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) She also held a great admiration for those who crafted things for themselves and made their own inventions, praising both Ada Lovelace and Nikola Tesla for their ingenuity and forward thinking, seeing the lack of recognition each received as trivial in comparison to their accomplishments. (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) She also admired Amelia Earhart for taking the world on and pushing it forward. (PROSE: Chasing the Dawn) In contrast, she admonished those who only took power and recognition through ownership alone, claiming that people who never created things themselves were destined to be forgotten by history. (TV: Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

The Thirteenth Doctor claimed that she enjoyed making "trip[s] into the past" for research purposes, but knew to be cautious when making such trips, even writing a note that chastises Missy for her lack of caution in meddling with time. (PROSE: The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone) However, she was annoyed about how rarely history lined up with historical documentation. (TV: Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) She took her devotion to the preservation of history so seriously that she described herself and her companions as its "guardians", (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018).) even excluding historical figures from her missions when she could, (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) though would still acknowledge that time "[was]n't always fixed". (TV: Village of the Angels [+]Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

While she was careful not to tamper with established history, (TV: The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) the Doctor found herself willing take her companions to visit their own family history with little persuasion, though warned her friends to "tread softly" on their own history. (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) At times, the Doctor's sense of justice got the better of her, making her intervene in past events if she believed them to be minuscule enough to not impact history in too great a detail. (TV: The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) She would still show signs of distress if preserving history meant letting injustices stand and go unpunished. (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) After Graham and Ryan left, the Doctor briefly contemplated travelling back in time to get more time with them, but did not act on the idea. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).)

She implored those around her to ask questions about a situation, and showed no irritation on how off topic the questions got, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).) even showing gleeful excitement when the right questions were asked, (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018).) but would clarify when "the wrong question" to a situation was being posed. (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) However, she showed displeasure in handling multiple questions simultaneously, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).) and would refuse to answer questions asked of her if the person did not answer any questions she asked first. (TV: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) She also excused her solo trips to the destroyed Gallifrey by claiming that Team TARDIS "ask[ed] too many questions" about her private affairs. (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

Thriving on the gleeful excitement of unpredictability, (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) the Thirteenth Doctor would run into a situation without a strategy in mind, hoping to come up with a plan in the heat of the moment, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Once, Upon Time [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One, 2021)., Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) claiming to be "good in a tight spot" (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and to enjoy throwing a "curveball" into the situation, (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) but would take precautions when she knew how dangerous a situation was, (TV: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Ascension of the Cybermen [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) even using her seemingly unfocused planning to hide a contingency she had prepared in advance. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) She was confident she could take on any threat, even within a limited time span. (TV: Village of the Angels [+]Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Survivors of the Flux [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

She had the wisdom to read a situation and know when local authorises would not believe what she could tell them, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).) and to realise when someone was feeling hurt from favouritism. (COMIC: A Little Help from My Friends)

While she believed in a trial and error format to solving problems, (TV: Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) the Doctor rarely learnt from her experiences, such as needing to reassure herself of her identity as "the Doctor" (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).) after already being reassured of it by the Fugitive Doctor, (TV: The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and continuing to withhold information from Yaz (TV: Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) after promising to be more forthcoming with her. (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

Affectionately calling her previous incarnations her "fam", the Thirteenth Doctor especially enjoyed the company of the Seventh Doctor, singling him out as being "on [her] team" during a Multi-Doctor Event. She also teasingly invited herself to the "wedding" of her bickering second and third incarnations. (WC: Doctors Assemble!)

The Fourteenth Doctor remembered his predecessor being a "really brilliant woman". (TV: Destination: Skaro [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who (BBC One, 2023).)

The Doctor considered Graham O'Brien, Yaz Khan and Ryan Sinclair to be her "best friends". (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).) She was encouraging with them, especially when they made a connection or deduction, showed prowess, acted well in a crisis, or came up with a good plan of action. (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018). Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Praxeus [+]Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) Nevertheless, when one of her friends had a "bad idea", she did not shy away from saying so, (COMIC: A New Beginning) being stern with Graham when he expressed his intent to kill Tzim-Sha to avenge Grace, warning him he would not be invited back into the TARDIS if he carried it through, and expressed her pride in him when he chose not to murder Tzim-Sha. (TV: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) She would also get agitated with them when she was in a poor mood, (TV: Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Ascension of the Cybermen [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Once, Upon Time [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One, 2021).) and was slightly miffed when Ryan suggested that being away from the TARDIS had been good for him. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).)

Wanting to keep them safe above all else, (TV: Once, Upon Time [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One, 2021).) she always gave her friends the chance to walk away or stay behind when faced with danger, (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) or would order them to retreat if the dangers proved too severe, (TV: Ascension of the Cybermen [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and preferred to face an enemy alone. (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018). The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

She had a much friendlier approach to Santa Claus than her immediate predecessor, even allowing him to borrow her TARDIS for an emergency, (WC: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas) in spite of her dislike of being separated from her ship. (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

Thirteen looks at Yaz (Legend of the Sea Devils)

The Doctor ponders a romantic relationship with Yaz. (TV: Legend of the Sea Devils)

Like her early incarnations, the Thirteenth Doctor was not openly interested in romance, (TV: Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) but retained a respect for it, (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) even describing herself as a "romantic", (TV: Praxeus [+]Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) though she disliked being flirted with. (TV: The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) She purposely distanced herself away from the idea of being romantic to spare herself the pain that came with outliving her lover, preferring to "live in the present" and enjoy the relationships she had, though she admitted that she would date Yaz, were it not for her inability to "fix [her]self to anything". (TV: Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

According to Graham O'Brien, when reflecting on her attitude after seeing a ravaged Gallifrey, "one minute [she was] all smiles, [and the] next minute [her] mind [was] somewhere else", but he still believed that the Thirteenth Doctor was "the best person [he knew]". (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

Thirteenth Doctor "Right then"

The Doctor prepares to regenerate. (TV: The Power of the Doctor)

When the Doctor was warned about her impending regeneration, she reacted with shock and worry, (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) and reacted with immense fear when the Dalek Executioners were about to kill her. (TV: Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) Though she wished she could "go on forever", (TV: Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) and raged that she "want[ed] more time" when her regeneration was triggered by the Spy Master redirecting a Qurunx energy beam, the Doctor was quick to compose herself to comfort Yaz, whom she treated to ice cream as a parting gift, telling her of her love for her companions and how she "loved being [herself]". Ultimately, the Doctor chose to regenerate alone, enjoying a sunrise on top a cliff, telling her next incarnation they were "tag[ged]", though she was saddened not to "know what happen[ed] next". (TV: The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

Habits and quirks[]

The Thirteenth Doctor had some trouble adjusting to perceptions around her new gender, taking some time to get used to people calling her "Ma'am" and "Madam". (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018).) While she would become frustrated when facing judgement because of her new form, (TV: The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) she saw advantages in "[looking] like a girl" in interactions with others, (PROSE: Chasing the Dawn) and openly enjoyed getting opportunities she never had when she was a man. (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) The Doctor would occasionally slip up when referring to herself, forgetting to account for the change in her gender identity, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) as she did not consider herself to be a man or a woman "in the way that [humans] understand" such things. (PROSE: The Good Doctor)

Like her ninth incarnation, the Thirteenth Doctor spoke with a Northern accent, (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2017 (BBC One, 2017).) and also used "Oi" to get someone's attention, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) when beginning a counter-argument, (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018). Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) or when she felt insulted. (TV: Can You Hear Me? [+]Charlene James and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

After struggling to find the right term of affection to refer to her companions as, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).) the Doctor eventually settled on calling them her "fam", (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Ascension of the Cybermen [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).) after twice testing the waters with it, (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) and would call a larger ensemble of her friends the "extended fam". (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) She even addressed all her previous incarnations as her "fam" when bidding them farewell. (WC: Doctors Assemble!)

When she came to a realisation, the Doctor would utter, "oh", as the information dawned on her, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., It Takes You Away [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Praxeus [+]Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Can You Hear Me? [+]Charlene James and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) and tended to give a yelp when surprised. (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).,Can You Hear Me? [+]Charlene James and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Ascension of the Cybermen [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Village of the Angels [+]Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

Similar to her tenth incarnation, the Thirteenth Doctor would consider good things and ideas to be "brilliant", (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2017 (BBC One, 2017)., Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) but would also use the word in a sarcastic sense, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., It Takes You Away [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Village of the Angels [+]Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) and to describe how someone performed in a crisis, (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) or when describing a person in general. (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., It Takes You Away [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Praxeus [+]Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) Also like the Tenth Doctor, she was quick to apologise for her own actions and words, as well as when she felt responsible for others' circumstances. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018). The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Ascension of the Cybermen [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021)., The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Once, Upon Time [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One, 2021)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., Eve of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

She also made a habit of saying, "Right", to start her sentences, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Kerblam!

(TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

When pressing someone to perform an action in a hurry, she would say she would say "chop-chop", (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

When speaking in absolutes, she tended to describe a development, or even a person, with "total", (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

(TV: Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., It Takes You Away [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) She would also vocalise her usage of incorrect spelling, such as with "skillz". (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019).)

She was known for giving speeches that had an educational quality to them, (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and for referring to others by a title, codename, rank or even by their full name.

She was also prone to backtracking to contradict her statements, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Kerblam!

The Doctor inspects a spider. (TV: Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

The Thirteenth Doctor would regularly lean her face forward, with her eyebrows lowered and her upper lip stretched upwards, with it being rare for her to go a full adventure without once scrunching her face up.

She also frequently rested her hands on her hips, an impulse that was inherited by the Spy Master when he hijacked her body, and also replicated by the Holo-Doctor when it took on her appearance. (TV: The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

When pleased, the Doctor would beam a wide smile, (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2017 (BBC One, 2017)., The Universe is Calling [+]Doctor Who Series 11 teaser (BBC One, 2018)., The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Kerblam!

(TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

When taking enjoyment in her adversaries' shortcomings, she would wear a mocking grin, (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., Can You Hear Me?

When giving a speech, proclaiming instructions, or vocally analysing her situation, the Doctor would move her hands upwards, with her hands facing her head and her fingers slightly curled.

After witnessing or learning of something that unnerved her, the Doctor would stare into the distance while remaining silent and unresponsive to her surroundings. (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).

The Thirteenth Doctor used a point system to grade her companions to mark how well they performed. She alternated between giving out points (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., It Takes You Away [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).) and gold stars, (TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).

(TV: Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).)

She had a tendency to make immediate assumptions, sometimes only to discover that her judgement was misplaced, though she would own up to her mistakes once they were pointed out to her, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).

[+]Charlene James and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Halloween Apocalypse [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) and often boasted about meeting historical figures, usually with an accompanying tale that shed new light on the character of said figure, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., Arachnids in the UK [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018). Kerblam!

(COMIC: The White Dragon)

When telling someone to join her in her objectives, she would order them to follow her by saying they were "with [her]".[source needed] She often flicked her hair away from her face.[source needed] She would orientate her mind back on track by reminding herself to deal with "first things first".[source needed]

When drawing her sonic screwdriver out for use, the Doctor would flourish it with a large overhead arc.

Skills[]

The Thirteenth Doctor demonstrated astute detective skills, being able to deduce a person's thought pattern through eye contact, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) tell when she was talking to a bad liar, (TV: Rosa [+]Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One|BBC One]], 2018)., The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) unearth a truth by studying someone's facial reaction, (TV: Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) and, occasionally, tell when someone was attempting to deceive her. (TV: Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) Likewise, she was an effective liar herself, able to trick an entire fleet of Daleks that she was piloting her TARDIS for them to ambush her, only to reveal after she had trapped them that it was set to take them to the Void to destroy them. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).)

With the aid of Venusian aikido, the Doctor could use her pinkie finger to paralyse someone without harming them by pressing on their throat, (TV: The Ghost Monument [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., Kerblam! [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018)., War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) and could throw someone over her shoulder with little difficulty. (COMIC: The Warmonger) She was also swift and nimble enough to either glide across a surface or perform a perfect front flip. (TV: Resolution [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2019 (BBC One, 2019)., Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

She was also proficient with a slingshot, (TV: War of the Sontarans [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) and proved to be a very capable swordfighter. (TV: Legend of the Sea Devils [+]Ella Road and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Easter Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022).)

By placing her hand on someone's temples, the Doctor could erase their memories, (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) search through their memories to find information, (TV: Orphan 55 [+]Ed Hime, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) or project herself into their mind. (TV: Village of the Angels [+]Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) In extreme cases, she was capable of telepathically inducing a state of death into someone by showing them how they were destined to die and making their bodies believe the illusion. (TV: The Haunting of Villa Diodati [+]Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) When another Time Lord was close enough, the Doctor could engage them in telepathic contact from some distance away, (TV: Spyfall [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Timeless Children [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020)., The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).) or by placing her hand on their temples. (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).)

Having a specialty for "high-speed inventing", the Thirteenth Doctor was a skilled inventor, (TV: Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) able to craft new contraptions from ordinary raw materials, (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) or, at any given moment, to alter and adapt technology already at her disposal to meet various needs. (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018)., Demons of the Punjab [+]Vinay Patel, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).

Though she favoured elegance in technology, (TV: Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror [+]Nina Métivier, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020).) the Doctor had little trouble working with more unorganised complexity, even when, to her frustration, some layers "[made] no sense".

(TV: Village of the Angels [+]Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)

Like her predecessors, the Thirteenth Doctor was a skilled escape artist, crediting it to the teachings of Harry Houdini. (TV: The Witchfinders [+]Joy Wilkinson, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, 2018).) She could quickly calculate the length of time it would take her to do something, and act with quick succession, (COMIC: The Warmonger) and recite the entirety of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone from memory. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who New Year Special 2021 (BBC One, 2021).)

Behind the scenes[]

The first female Doctor[]

AFTER Dr WHO..

Article in the Daily Star.

The Thirteenth Doctor was the first official incarnation of the Doctor in the programme's history to be played by a woman, though the idea of a woman Doctor had been explored as early as 1980, when Tom Baker exited the role of the Fourth Doctor, and told the press, "I certainly wish my successor luck, whoever he—or she—might be."[1][2] When Peter Davison decided to retire from the role of the Fifth Doctor, John Nathan-Turner told the Daily Star that "the hunt for a new Doctor starts today and it's quite feasible it will be a woman".[3]

Second Doctor actor Patrick Troughton was quoted in 1983 as approving of the idea of a woman playing the Doctor.[4] In 1986, series creator Sydney Newman suggested that "at a later stage Doctor Who should be metamorphosed into a woman", offering Joanna Lumley as the potential candidate for the Seventh Doctor, with Frances de la Tour and Dawn French also being mentioned.[5] Lumley would ultimately portray a Thirteenth Doctor in the 1999 Comic Relief special The Curse of Fatal Death.

The 1999 BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Interference: The Hour of the Geek was the first time it was commented on Time Lords switching genders during a regeneration, with I.M. Foreman twice stating to have had a female tenth incarnation. The 2002 Big Finish audio Seasons of Fear had the Eighth Doctor allude to the possibility of regenerating into a woman while in discussion with Sebastian Grayle, telling Grayle he was "not a glamorous woman at the moment".

The 2003 Big Finish Doctor Who Unbound story Exile starred another female Doctor, played by Arabella Weir. In the context of the story, which was set in another universe, it was established that suicide was necessary for a "sex-change regeneration", which was also considered a crime by the Time Lords. This suggestion garnered much criticism[6], and was not picked up by any following story.

While discussing casting for the 2005 continuation, Jane Tranter wanted the Ninth Doctor to be the first female incarnation, played by Judi Dench.[7][5] A cut line in The Unquiet Dead would have had Gabriel Sneed remark to the Ninth Doctor, "I thought you'd be a woman", to which the Doctor would respond, "No, not yet."[source needed]

When David Tennant first announced his intention to leave the role of the Tenth Doctor in 2007, the UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology wanted the Eleventh Doctor to be female. [5] When the Eleventh Doctor, played by Matt Smith, made his first appearance in 2010's The End of Time, he briefly thought he had regenerated into a woman after examining his long hair, but quickly realised his mistake on finding his Adam's apple.

2011's The Doctor's Wife was the first television story to make direct reference to a Time Lord changing gender through regeneration, with the Doctor talking about the Corsair. 2014 saw Steven Moffat introduce audiences to Missy, who was revealed to be the first female incarnation of the Master in Dark Water, marking the first time an already established character had changed genders after regenerating. However, it was not until 2015 that audiences directly experienced such a regeneration, first in the Big Finish audio story The Black Hole with Pavo, and then in television story Hell Bent when the General regenerated.

In 2019, two years after the announcement of Whittaker's casting, Christopher Eccleston, speaking at Rose City Comic Con, said that the Ninth Doctor should have been female, and even claimed that Rose Tyler-actress Billie Piper should have been the Doctor instead of him, stating that "It's ridiculous we weren't thinking of a female Doctor at that time. In 2004, in me they picked yet another white skinny male to be the Doctor".[8]

In 2020's Fugitive of the Judoon, Jo Martin was introduced as an unknown incarnation, with The Timeless Children establishing that the Doctor had, in fact, lived through multiple incarnations before the First Doctor. Of these forgotten incarnations, of which Martin's is suggested to have been one, at least four were female, including the earliest known incarnation, cementing that the Thirteenth Doctor had not, in fact, been the first female Doctor chronologically.

Appearances prior to her first full story[]

The Thirteenth Doctor is unique amongst her previous incarnations by having appeared multiple times in the official expanded media before her television debut in The Woman Who Fell to Earth, a fact that is acknowledged in the reference book Sheffield Steel: Essays on the Thirteenth Doctor by Sam Maleski.

In popular culture[]

Other matters[]

  • Following the Ninth Doctor, the Thirteenth Doctor was the second incarnation to have the same companion throughout all their television appearances, with Yaz Khan being present for all of her thirty-one episodes, though they were separated during Survivors of the Flux, the fifth chapter of the Flux mini-series.
