Jayanna IX

## Incarnations of Jayanna

The **ninth incarnation of Jayanna** was the one to finally begin travelling with the Doctor; following her own regeneration.

## Biography

Later regenerating into a female incarnation again; the cause of which she would later describe to the Doctor as being “violent and traumatic”, Jayanna resumed her wanderings across the universe until she came across the Seventeenth Doctor in distress, speculating that her TARDIS may have detected the Doctor's need for help and acted accordingly.

Finding the Doctor onboard a space pirate ship which had brought his TARDIS in after finding it floating in space, Jayanna helped him escape but quickly found that his TARDIS had been stolen by the Skithra. Using her own TARDIS, Jayanna and the Doctor were able to follow the artron energy signature and track down the Skithra ship across space. After confronting the Queen in her throne room, she reacted by landing on Loyomba, a nearby planet, attempting to throw the two out and strand them there without either of their TARDISes. Jayanna and the Doctor managed to ground the Skithra ship, but the Skithra retaliated by attacking a nearby village, so the duo gave themselves up in exchange for the village being left alone.

Once the ship was ungrounded and had begun to enter hyperspace, Jayanna and the Doctor broke free of the Skithra's grasp and retrieved their TARDISes. From there, they scrambled the Skithra's computer banks, leaving them without any form of navigation and set up holograms impersonating their TARDISes. Returning to Loyomba to say their thanks and goodbyes, they both materialised away before quickly rematerialising again 5 seconds later, asking the other if they wanted to travel with them. Realising they both wanted to be with each other, Jayanna placed her TARDIS inside the Doctor’s and the two set off into the universe. (TV: *The Skithra Entitlement*)

#### Early travels with the Doctor

As Jayanna made herself acquainted with her new home, a signal reached the Doctor’s TARDIS, which led the two to an office in Birmingham in the 2000s. Unable to find its source, Jayanna and the Doctor set themselves as office workers - and eventually found the signal to be coming from the basement which hid the Xela, slug-like creatures who required regular amounts water to survive; however, with earth water being toxic for them, they added an extra chemical which unfortunately happened to be deadly for humans.

Once the Xela had been dealt with, Jayanna began to develop a new understanding of humans, having spent a large amount of time around and how the Doctor saw them. (TV: *Work Hard, Die Hard*)

Landing on a desolate planet, Jayanna and the Doctor uncovered a hidden bunker filled with Daleks - who had wiped out the planet’s indigenous species and begun developing plans for universe domination. (TV: *Doctor Who and the Dalek Paradigm*) As the Daleks escaped the planet, Jayanna and the Doctor gave chase but were often too slow to prevent their planetary destruction - before the Daleks disappeared entirely.  (TV: *Escape of the Paradigm*)

Arriving on Arkha in the hopes of a relaxing cruise break, Jayanna and the Doctor came across a string of murders onboard the ship, committed by Blockto Korn-Mar Thatch-Bo Jonseen, who had tracked down Jose Banda, a Comparian who had stolen her children and planned to sell them onto a trafficker. After Jayanna and the Doctor exposed Blockto as the murderer, Jose revealed himself, having already sold the children, but accidentally letting slip about Jane Korro, the woman he had sold them to. Jayanna and the Doctor rushed to save them and Blockto, Jose and Jane were all subsequently arrested.

Blockto would leave an unexpected mark on Jayanna and the Doctor, who after seeing the lengths she went to in order to resolve her own problems, would put it to themselves to help resolve each other's issues, that being Jayanna's loneliness and the Doctor's trust issues. (TV: *Out of Sight, Out of Mind*)

Meeting Mosdra once again on Verosa Prime, Jayanna and the Doctor infiltrated the crew of Paranormal Planets as they explored the crashed SS Dahlia in search of an artefact - an artefact that Mosdra had been instructed to locate for Gallifrey. Finding it on the body of a plant-based creature, the three Time Lords extracted it, but Mosdra later crushed it under foot after discovering Gallifrey’s true intentions for the object. (TV: *Whatever Happened to the Crew of the SS Dahlia?*)

#### A New Perspective

Turning up on the coast of the UK, Jayanna discovered the body of a dead Fish Person, which the Doctor recognised. Walking into a nearby castle, the two found an aquarium full of Fish People, who were promptly freed by the Doctor as Jayanna continued exploring and entered a lab, where she met the Fifth Raja for the first time. He explains that he is aware of her being a Time Lord and teleported the two of them away before the Doctor could find them.

Jayanna awoke in the Raja’s facility, about to be experimented on before the Doctor burst into, having tracked down the Raja using his TARDIS. After a fight between the Doctor and Raja, which the Doctor won, Jayanna was freed and the two wandered about the facility before discovering a bomb, forcing them to flee and wondering what the Raja was planning. (TV: *Meeting at Zaggit Zagoo*)

Feeling cocky about her driving skills, Jayanna challenged the Doctor to a race using their two TARDISes, however, going too fast, the TARDISes crashed into each other and merged into one entity - dubbed Planet TARDIS, which created entities christened Tardisites by Jayanna, who saw these two godly beings be born and die in an infinite cycle of reincarnation, believing the two Time Lords to be gods and worshipped them.

The two - with no memory of the event that created Planet TARDIS - attempted to travel to its core, coming across Spatial-Temporal Mutations, made up of things that they had previously faced in their timestreams as well as other echoes of themselves - and by watching these echoes, ascertained what exactly had happened. (TV: *Planet TARDIS*)

With there being some technical difficulties with the Doctor’s now un-combined TARDIS, Jayanna took the time to relax in the light of Mutter’s Spiral as the Doctor carried out repairs. Before long, however, the Doctor had accidentally created a TARDIS Pocket Universe, which drained the TARDIS completely of power. Delving into this universe to restore the TARDIS’ power, Jayanna experienced the effects of time dilation, growing a full length beard as she and the Doctor witnessed all the strange sights in this new universe before they managed to reinstate the TARDIS’ missing energy. (TV: *Glittering Spheres*)

Jayanna and the Doctor later materialised at Subakve, where they worked to prevent the city from flooding (TV: *Submerged*) and Rozlyn, preventing an all-out gang warfare instigated by the Manton House movement. (TV: *Mechanical Heart*)

Arriving on the SS Dahlia in the 5600s before its crash, Jayanna and the Doctor met up with an old companion of the Doctor’s, Tari Ackerman - with whom, they discovered the true cause of the SS Dahlia’s crash - the plant-based creature smashing into the ship’s engines, killing itself in the process. Tari was invited back aboard the TARDIS again, but declined, believing life at home to be worth something to live for. (TV: *Oh Hell, It's Tari*)

Following her past incarnation’s signal, Jayanna and the Doctor landed on Alkos, working alongside her past self to uncover the mystery of the Raston Warrior Robot and Victor Nolan. (TV: *I Predict a Riot*)

Whilst on the Moon, Jayanna and the Doctor came across a man who claimed that he was the Doctor’s next incarnation suffering from post regenerative amnesia. As they investigated the origins of the Moonmen, the Doctor fell victim to the Moonmen's psychic powers, (TV: *Doctor Who and the Moonmen*) as Roki tried to convince Jayanna that this had been the cause of his regeneration. Jayanna was not so easily swayed and quickly realised that he was an imposter. As Roki attempted to kill Jayanna, he was firstly shot by Aidan Weber, then attacked by the Moonmen and regenerated, ending up suffering to the Moonmen's psychic powers. Jayanna destroyed the machine creating the Moonmen and with the Doctor, took Roki to a planet to live out the rest of his days in peace. (TV: *I Am The Doctor*)

#### The End of the Road

After helping Arthur Cresswell who had been plagued by Cryptoxinians, (TV: *Cryptomnesia*) Jayanna and the Doctor arrived at the Emerald Sky to observe a massive supernova from the safety of an observing platform, the duo once again met with the Raja. He revealed that he had created the supernova that they were observing in order to fuel the energy required for his experiments. However, when he realised that their TARDISes contained an unusual energy trace within them - later acknowledged to have been created from their merge into Planet TARDIS, he attempted to link them to his laboratory to feed the supernova.

However, he underestimated their power and the supernova grew out of control, threatening to destroy the galaxy. The Doctor managed to transfer the energy remnants from Jayanna’s TARDIS within his own in an attempt to disrupt the flow but this did not work and as the Raja escaped due to Jayanna and the Doctor being distracted by the laboratory starting to fall apart around them. As they debated as to what to do, the Doctor eventually realised that to cancel out the supernova, he must fly his TARDIS into its heart - which Jayanna rebutted because that would mean his permanent death, death before regeneration.

With the Doctor noting that Jayanna still had so much life to have whilst he would be at peace - Jayanna was finally convinced and the two had a tearful goodbye, before the Doctor dropped Jayanna off at a nearby planet with her TARDIS before flying into the heart of the supernova - leaving her to travel the universe all alone. (TV: *Final Destination*)

## Personality

Following her regeneration from a particularly violent and traumatic death, Jayanna begun to severely feel the loneliness of late and thus chose to join the Doctor. She had tendencies to be calculating and mischievous, being impossible to predict which she was entirely aware of and used this to her own advantage, pushing people to their limits when she needed them to. However, this side of her was rarely brought out and most of the time, she was extremely charismatic and friendly.

She was also able to find humour in even the smallest things, but was still easily bored. She also liked to express her personality by dressing extravagantly.

## Appearance

The ninth incarnation of Jayanna resembled a taller than average woman in her late twenties, possessing lightly coloured skin, hazel eyes and long blonde hair which she wore in various different styles. (TV: *The Skithra Entitlement*) She also grew a full brown coloured beard after experiencing the effects of time dilation causing by the pocket universe created by the Doctor's TARDIS' Eye of Harmony. (TV: *Glittering Spheres*)

#### Clothing

With her preference of dressing extravagantly, Jayanna would wear a vast range of outfits, including a grey-yellow shirt, (TV: *The Skithra Entitlement*, *Doctor Who and the Dalek Paradigm*) denim overalls, (TV: *Work Hard, Die Hard*, *Out of Sight, Out of Mind*) a crimson blouse with a turtle neck, (TV: *Whatever Happened to the Crew of the SS Dahlia?*) and a light green blouse and ribbon scarf with denim shorts (TV: *Final Destination*) to name a few.
