Biography
Romana
She graduated with a 'triple first' from the Time Lord Academy on Gallifrey. (Episode: The Ribos Operation) One of her early jobs was working in the Bureau of Ancient Records on Gallifrey. (Episode: State of Decay)
Romana first met the Doctor when she was a young 125 year old where she was a relatively inexperienced Time Lady. The White Guardian sent Romana to help the Doctor and K9 Mark II locate the Key to Time. It was the Doctor who gave her the shortened version of her name. (Episode: The Ribos Operation) It was during this mission that she visited Earth for the first time. (Episode: The Stones of Blood) After the completion of the quest, the Doctor installed a randomiser in the TARDIS to evade the Black Guardian and his wrath. As a result, the travellers did not know where they would materialise next. (Episode: The Armageddon Factor) Romana regenerated into a new incarnation, seemingly on a whim, adopting the likeness of Princess Astra of Atrios. (Episode: Destiny of the Daleks) An adventure on the planet Skaro followed her regeneration, during which Romana encountered the Daleks. (Episode: Destiny of the Daleks) In this incarnation, Romana travelled for a time with the Doctor and K9. Leaving the randomiser behind on Argolis, (Episode: The Leisure Hive) the three accidentally passed through a CVE into the universe called E-Space. It was here they encountered Adric. (Episode: Full Circle) Adric stowed away onboard the TARDIS and all the travellers were brought to an encounter with an ancient enemy of the Time Lords, the Great Vampire. (Episode: State of Decay) Romana and the Doctor parted when she decided to remain in E-Space with K9 to help the enslaved Tharils regain their freedom. The Doctor and Adric left for N-Space, the Doctor's native universe. (Episode: Warriors' Gate)
