==Leela's death/reincarnation?==
I don't know how many people this wiki have heard "The Time Vampire" from Big Finish - it describes the end of Leela's life. I'm having a bit of trouble making sense of it, though. Apparently, Leela's not dead. She met her past self, causing some kind of reincarnation. But is she now reborn as a baby or is she a "fravishai tempora" (I have no idea if I'm spelling that right)? If anyone else has heard this audio play, please give your opinion on what actually happened to Leela so we can figure out how to properly edit the article on her.

In the audio player: Gallifrey: Annihilation, Leela drinks vampire blood, which causes her to become young again and regain her sight. She also left Romana's company on the Alternate Gallifrey in Forever, but it's ambiguous whether or not she'd return.

Leela's death/reincarnation?[[edit source]]

I don't know how many people this wiki have heard "The Time Vampire" from Big Finish - it describes the end of Leela's life. I'm having a bit of trouble making sense of it, though. Apparently, Leela's not dead. She met her past self, causing some kind of reincarnation. But is she now reborn as a baby or is she a "fravishai tempora" (I have no idea if I'm spelling that right)?

I'll get around to writing up something eventually, but for now I'll just say that this story doesn't make sense in isolation. Remember, it's part three of a trilogy. If you were attracted to buy it because you heard it was "the one where Leela dies", you're going to be massively confused. It makes much more sense when experienced, as intended, after The Catalyst, and Empathy Games. CzechOut | 13:57, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

All stories can be included, but keep in mind that you don't need full-length plot summaries on a character page. Depending on the length of the story, a sentence to a small paragraph is enough per story. Shambala108 22:05, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

She was in Gallifrey: Reborn. I'll add it to the page Adric♥NyssaTalk? 20:18, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
