Sixteenth Doctor

## Canon

Bold and eccentric in everything from dress sense to personality and speech pattern, the **Sixteenth Doctor** set off into the universe with a bubbly and joyous outlook on life. **The Doctor** enjoyed a lively and busy TARDIS, with numerous companions, many of whom shared the same view of the universe as she did.

The Doctor's first companions were brother-sister duo Alec and Constance O'Conor from Pasadena whom she met in a post-regeneration daze, before confronting a past incarnation of the Master who continued to plague the trio throughout their travels, coming to a head when the two went home following a near traumatic experience with the Ringleader and the Doctor was forced to team with a past incarnation to fight three incarnations of the Master.

Visiting the Racnoss Wars, the Doctor took Gallifreyan soldier Iriel onboard with her intentions being to take her straight back to Gallifrey, however, a few accidental detours pushed the duo into a bond that was ripped apart by Gallifrey's summons back home, but not before they joined with Leela to prevent her husband Radrell's plans to destroy the universe.

After some time, the Doctor met Georgian girl Violet Blackwell and Athenian Epicurean Leo Darius-Alesandro, intending to resume normal travels, but chance encounters with resentful companion from the future James Liron, Daleks and Ice Warriors meant the trio eventually split up. After battling the Seventh Meddler, the Doctor was thrown into the future and met her last companion Tari Ackerman, who joined her as she met an insane and damaged Jungle Dalek, maniac Wynston Madigan and Samurai Robots before being manipulated into freeing the Ninth Master from Shada which quickly fell apart with the Master's alliance with the Daleks.

Despite her managing to defeat them, Kesavix, Coordinator of the CIA, took Tari back to her own time period and arrested the Doctor, assassinating her as punishment for freeing the Master. Being thrown into the Time Vortex, the Doctor was rescued by Jayanna VIII, but not before she landed on Tosan and regenerated into a much younger incarnation.

## Personality

The Sixteenth Doctor was very bubbly, eccentric and joyous. She loved learning new things, exploring new places and resolving problems throughout the universe. Often, she could be brutally truthful and never hid the truth from anyone.

However, her otherwise happy and jolly demeanour could easily and rapidly change if she was pushed over the edge, resulting in a much darker and nasty side to her.

Perhaps the Doctor's most defining characteristic was her unique and distinctive speech pattern, which some described as being "posh", but that she likened as being "endearing".

## Appearance

The Sixteenth Doctor resembled a relatively short woman with lightly-coloured skin in her late sixties, with the Doctor herself noting that her new incarnation was one of the oldest she'd ever had. Despite her apparant age, her hair, which was kept short, was pure brown, complemented with sharp grey-blue eyes. (TV: *A Masterful Reckoning*)

### Clothing

The Sixteenth Doctor chose a more extravagant wardrobe, dressing very similarily to her third incarnation. (TV: *A Masterful Reckoning*) This meant that her wardrobe consisted of anything from frilled shirts, velvet suits, dress shirts and shoes, dark coloured trousers, smoking jackets and blazers and on occasion, cravats. Of course, all of these also came in varying colours, depending on the Doctor's mood at the time.
