+'''Dora''' was the [[President of Earth]] in [[2540]]. She led the [[People's Party]].

+== Biography ==
+Dora ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Transcendence of Ephros (audio story)|The Transcendence of Ephros]]'') led the [[People's Party]]. As [[President of Earth]], she was closely advised by [[Earth]]'s primary military officer, [[John Williams|General John Williams]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Space War (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Space War]]'') with whom she had once been friends. ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]'')
-After a series of raids of Earth cargo ships, believed to be the work of [[Draconia]], the president personally met with the [[Draconian prince|Draconian Emperor's son]] in order to negotiate an end to hostilities. She came under pressure from both her military advisors and the [[Brook (Frontier in Space)|political opposition]] to take military action against Draconia. Eventually, perhaps because of the threat of a military coup, she agreed to break off diplomatic relations. However, she refused to fire the first shot in a war.
+In [[2520]], Dora served as a [[senator]]'s aide on a peace initiative that ended in Williams inadvertently beginning the [[Human-Draconian War]] in what he believed to be an act of self-defence. Years later, after her successful campaign for [[President of Earth]], she appointed Williams to be her military advisor. She wore a [[silver]] locket with a picture of twenty-year-old Williams. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Space War (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Space War]]'')
-Thanks to the [[Third Doctor]], it was revealed that the raids were the actions of [[Ogron]] mercenaries and war was averted. ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space]]'')
+After a series of raids against [[Earth]] [[cargo ship]]s, believed to be the work of [[Draconia]], President Dora personally met with the [[Draconian prince|Draconian Emperor's son]] in order to negotiate an end to hostilities. She came under pressure from both her [[military advisor]]s and the [[Brook (Frontier in Space)|political opposition]] to take military action against Draconia. Eventually, President Dora agreed to break off [[diplomacy|diplomatic]] relations. However, she refused to fire the first shot in a war.
-:''According to [[Doctor Who and the Space War|the novelisation]], she was not the first female to hold [[President of Earth|the office]]. The adaptation also sheds greater light onto her uneasy relationship with [[Williams (Frontier in Space)|Williams]]. In it, readers discover that Williams had actively campaigned against her for an "aggressive inter-stellar policy". When she won, she appointed Williams as her military aide "to heal political wounds". The novel also gives rise to the notion that the two were former lovers, something the episode offers only vaguely through body language. Adapter [[Malcolm Hulke]] tells readers that the president had a silver locket around her neck and within that was a picture of a 20-year-old ''Lieutenant'' Williams.''
+Thanks to the [[Third Doctor]], it was revealed that the raids were the actions of [[Ogron]] mercenaries hired by {{Delgado}}, and war was averted. ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]'')
