Amy-Mae

**Amy-Mae** (Originally known as **Aklur**) was a Tosan/Ice Warrior Hybrid and a companion of the Seventeenth Doctor. Over the course of her travels with the Doctor, Amy-Mae would share the TARDIS with Teddy (TV: *Lies of Heaven*) and later, Xavier. (TV: *Chaos Theory*)

## Biography

### Early life

Amy-Mae was originally born as Aklur as a second-generation colonist on Osekron, a distant Martian colony at least half a galaxy away from Mars to a father and mother. By 6570, her mother had died, a victim of the Osekri, creatures that roamed the colony at night-time and Aklur herself had contracted a fatal disease which was slowly wasting her away. By the time the Seventeenth Doctor and Teddy had arrived on the colony, her father had been experimenting with growing new Ice Warriors to transplant Aklur's mind into, but each new body continued to fail and Aklur edged closer to death.

Desperate, her father requested a DNA sample from Teddy, hoping to build a hybrid body from Teddy's Tosan DNA to build the base body, Aklur's Ice Warrior DNA and a mixture of other DNA which constructed her overall appearance. It worked and her mind was transplanted into the new body. However, the procedure had been lengthy and captured the attention of everyone in the colony, meaning the Osekri were able to sneak in, eventually killing her father. By daytime, the Doctor and Teddy decided to leave, having realised they would get no more answers here, but now wanting to leave the colony, Aklur asked to join them, which the Doctor accepted. (TV: *Frozen Whimpers*)

### Travels with the Doctor and Teddy

Their first stop was at Mahova Galaxy Film and Studio, where Aklur decided to adopt the name Amy-Mae, taking the name from a movie poster to better fit her new identity, (TV: *Cut!*) before doing battle with the Toymaker (TV: *The Box of Many Tricks*). After they left the Studio, the Doctor, Amy-Mae and Teddy would set up camp at the Grand Scarlet Hotel.

They would then travel across Unnuna to find the First, Second and Third Wizards (TV: *The Wizards Three* / *How to Live Forever*) and face foes such as the Judoon, (TV: *Delusions of Reality*) the Corale and Mlerki (TV: *Extinction Planet* / *Reckoning of the Mlerki*) and Spartan (TV: *The Gaseous Expansion* / *The Spartan Solution*) before facing the Red Cult (TV: *Memorial Flashbacks*) and succeeding in driving the Adnosina off Earth with the help of Jayanna VIII. After the Adnosina were gone, the Doctor was finally reunited with his TARDIS and formally invited both Amy-Mae and Teddy on his travels, which they both accepted. (TV: *Lies of Heaven*)

### Xavier joins the team

Sometime after the Adnosina crisis, Amy-Mae, alongside the Doctor and Teddy found themselves at the planet of St Eden, which was under attack by the Nikta, who were in search of "the object". Leaving the planet, the Doctor found a high amount of energy coming from the other end of the galaxy. On further inspection, they discovered that it was located from the planet Esubeen. (TV: *From Out The Ashes*) Deciding to take a break, the trio took an extended holiday on the planet, spending at least two months there before the planet came under attack by the Daleks and Cybermen, in pursuit of Xavier, a native of the planet. After the Daleks and Cybermen were destroyed, Xavier was invited onboard the TARDIS - which he accepted. (TV: *Chaos Theory*)

After Xavier joined the TARDIS team, Amy-Mae and co would face the Sontarans (TV: *The Patchwork Planet*), Seretes (TV: *World Shaping for Beginners*), space pirates (TV: *All Hail the Sky Demon* / *The Sky Demon Can Wait*), a Weeping Angel (TV: *Fear the Dark*), and the Silence. (TV: *Silence on the Mount*)

### Departure

Eventually, Amy-Mae's time to leave the TARDIS would come after arriving on Star Station Five where the TARDIS team encountered the Nestene Consciousness and the Autons. Amy-Mae was the first to discover the dying Consciousness alongside Xavier, after curiosity got the better of them. She discovered a nurse under the control of the Nestene, helping her to break free of the conditioning. Jennifer survived the later massacre and Amy-Mae ended up going off with her, wanting to join her in what she does, having finally deciding she needed to settle and realising she could help after the recent destructive events. (TV: *The Polymos Invaders*)

## Personality

Amy-Mae was extremely empathetic and able to bond with people very easily, (TV: *Cut!*, *Chaos Theory*, *The Polymos Invaders*) leading Teddy to proclaim her as a "real people's person" - although she was sure he was slightly mocking. (TV: *The Spartan Solution*) She was very trustworthy, which made her attempts at obtaining information from people very easy. (TV: *Fear the Dark*) She was also stubborn and cheeky, easily light-heartedly teasing people. (TV: *Frozen Whimpers*, *Lies of Heaven*)

However, this hid her struggles with her identity and her battles about how she could find her own place in the universe, often feeling out of place even if she had no real reason to be - going as far as to ask the First Wizard clues towards her identity as her wish. (TV: *Cut!*, *How to Live Forever*) Over time though, over the course of her travels and with a meeting with her father, triggered by the Red Cult, (TV: *Memorial Flashbacks*) Amy-Mae eventually felt as if she found herself more during the course of her travels and thus became a lot more relaxed in her identity.

She was decisively more mature than Teddy, Xavier and the Doctor and henceforth, she often found herself having to be the liaison between them and any other party that they're up against, the three having agreed that she would be the best candidate to defuse any kind of situation without issue. (TV: *Containment Breach*, *All Hail the Sky Demon*, *The Polymos Invaders*)

She would sometimes come face to face with situations that reminded her of her past and were forced to take a step back. (TV: *Containment Breach*, *World Shaping for Beginners*)

She also tended to mother over Xavier, even at times when she didn't intend to. (TV: *Chaos Theory*, *Fear the Dark*, *Silence on the Mount*, *The Polymos Invaders*)

## Appearance

As an Ice Warrior, Aklur looked like any typical member of her species, but slightly shorter standing at 6'9". Once her mind had been transplanted into her new hybrid, she more closely resembled a typical female Tosan in her thirties of taller than average height, with lightly coloured skin, brown eyes and medium length hair that fell just past her ears. However, she was easily identifiable as different from Tosans due to the slight green scales present on the right side of her neck and across her arms and legs, a side effect of the Ice Warrior DNA. (TV: *Frozen Whimpers*)

Further side effects of the Ice Warrior DNA were the increased stamina, strength and lung capacity compared to a typical Tosan. (TV: *Reckoning of the Mlerki*)

Over time, Amy-Mae would start to grow out her hair to beyond her shoulders. (TV: *From Out The Ashes*)
