The Nightingale

The Nightingale's Fourth Regeneration

## **Origin**

The Nightingale was loomed into a relatively high class family. She was sent off at the age of 8, like others who attend The Time Academy She excelled at thermodynamics, and stellar engineering. However, she didn’t do as well during her TARDIS piloting lessons. Luckily throughout her regenerations she has managed to improve through experience. She first met Eudaimonia whilst she was wandering through the TARDIS bays. She was curious to see what the inside of a TARDIS looked like. She entered the Type 70 TARDIS that was on her left. She fell in love with it, and eventually stole her, knowing that she wouldn’t be caught due to her high status. (More on Eudaimonia in her vehicle sheet).

Her first regeneration was considerably shorter, at 5’5”, and a lot more optimistic about her life. She was very chipper, thriving in the environment of the academy. Her first regeneration was caused by an accidental ingestion of aspirin after mistaking it for another form of pain medication. She regenerated at the age of 293.

At the age of 352 (during her second regeneration) she had had enough of the lackluster life she led on Gallifrey, wanted to be more. She decided the way to do that was to put to use her Academy knowledge whilst working as a Time Agent. She stole a sonic staff from her Father’s office and ran away. She ran away to 51st Century Earth- to the Time Agency. Luckily she didn’t need a Vortex Manipulator- preferring her ‘Sports Car’ as the Tenth Doctor would say. She regenerated after a plan of hers went wrong. She was on a mission, fixing an issue where the Suffragettes/Suffragist movement had started 10 years too early. Whilst being in the midst of a violent Suffragette protest, a police officer mistook her for a suffragette, not helped by her attire. She was shot, and yet had to force herself to withhold her regeneration until she could get into her TARDIS. She quickly flew herself into the time vortex, hoping that the spaceship could withstand the force of her regeneration. She regenerated at age 748

She ran away to 42nd Century Earth during her 3rd regeneration, abandoning the Time Agency. It was during this regeneration where she realised that the life of monitoring other people’s chaos wasn’t for her, and she wanted to create mischief rather than stop it. She regenerated again at the age of 894, a rather short life compared to the ones she had led before. This time, she had been discovered during a plot by the Teselecta. Having had earphones in, she hadn’t heard them come upon her. They shot at her, and luckily, she was beside her TARDIS. She managed to escape a second shot. She was, however, extremely disappointed in herself for being caught so soon to her (rather recent) regeneration.

And that brings us up to every day, whenever Earth- Her main goal in her fourth regeneration? Create chaos, and seduce every important figure she could throughout human history. Currently, she’s in 1939, working with Alan Turing. Let’s see how much mischief she can cause.

## Strengths

The Nightingale had a rather sheltered childhood, and so, she took the liberty of teaching herself lock picking, allowing her to feel like she had some form of control. Over the years she has managed to refine this skill, proving handing when she loses her sonic staff. As we know- The Nightingale is old enough to have been round the block plenty of times, so she has quite a few trick her sleeves when it comes to seducing, proving an excellent distraction on most species. Another thing she picked up on Gallifrey, is her incredible ability to entrance and capture in a room, either in fear or in amazement. She has learnt to terrify people without batting an eyelash, so that she may blend in. Yet another skill learnt on Gallifrey is a rather self-explanatory one, that I do believe all Timelords have; dramatic monologuing.

## Weaknesses

She overlooks the simple, being used to having to find the more complicated solutions for things, having grown up in the Citadel, she isn’t used to how simple technology is, outside of Gallifrey. She also makes life hard for herself, as she prefers her own company over than anybody else's, making things like piloting her TARDIS a lot more difficult.

Having grown up in a higher class family than most she is quite self entitled, being used to just getting things, rather than having to work for them. She is extremely abrasive, enjoying the look on people’s faces when they hear what they didn’t want to hear. This means that she often has to go the long way around to get the things she wants, as people don’t want to help her.

## Physical Appearance

The Nightingale’s current regeneration is rather tall, at 6’1”. She is quite pale, with very well defined cheekbones. Her eyes are a deep blue with gold flecks, sometimes changing to purple. Her lips are naturally quite pink, although, she prefers to paint over those with a burgundy lipstick. She also wears rather heavy black eyeliner. She has blonde shoulder-length hair, preferring to wear it in a romantic bun at the base of her neck, to keep it out of her way, but also ensuring she looks her best. A strip roughly an inch wide in the middle of her hair has been dyed a silverish-grey, an homage to her heritage in the Dromeian Chapter. Her left eyebrow has a slit in it. Her left arm has a sleeve tattoo of an angel statue, not unlike a weeping angel. It also features a pocket watch; a token for her home.

She’s lithe, however, from the amount of running and causing general chaos, she’s quite built. She prefers wearing walking suits that look vaguely victorian. She wears a corset to make sure her outfit ties together well, however, she doesn’t tightlace it, hating how uncomfortable it is. Typically worn with a pair of tight leather pants underneath, just in case something from her past chaos decided to come back to bite her. She also wears a shoulder holster to carry her dual handguns.
