An artificially crafted '''alternate personality''' of a [[Renegade Time Lord|renegade]] of the [[Great House]]s took the [[alias]] "'''Nari'''" to evade [[High Council|the authorities]] during the [[War in Heaven]]. | An artificially crafted '''alternate personality''' of a [[Renegade Time Lord|renegade]] of the [[Great House]]s took the [[alias]] "'''Nari'''" to evade [[High Council|the authorities]] during the [[War in Heaven]]. | ||

Eventually, however, Nari realised that she had done too good a job and that she could not unlock her true personality no matter how hard she tried. [[Dionus]] had, by then, defected from the [[House Military]] and opened a clinic on the planet of [[Gulliver's Rest]], on the fringes of the War. Using artificial [[pheromone]]s to make him like and trust her instantly, she deposited herself at his doorstep, claiming to simply have amnesia. He took her in as a patient and became infatuated with her, leaving her unsupervised at night. On her second night at the clinic, in her sleep, her original personality briefly broke through and she brutally murdered [[Patient (Me & My Ghost)|another patient]] before the "Nari" personality became dominant again, her hands still bloody but with no memory of what she had done.

After locking her up for the remainder of the night, [[Dionus]] realised who she really was by hacking into the [[Great House]]s' [[mainframe]], and interrogated her. However, when he tried to get her to tell him why she'd come to the clinic, she passed out. Hooking her up to one of his old [[Mind probe|interrogation devices]] while she was unconscious, he realised the truth about the Nari personality, as well as the fact that she had been essentially drugging him with the pheromones. | After locking her up for the remainder of the night, [[Dionus]] realised who she really was by hacking into the [[Great House]]s' [[mainframe]], and interrogated her.

After she awakened, he made a deal with her, keeping her locked up but promising to work on a way to free her real personality if, in the meantime, she put her talents as a chemist to use helping Dionus with his work as a physician. Nari agreed, and stayed at the clinic for some time in this arrangement, with Dionus coming to genuinely enjoy her company with no need for pheromones. Ultimately, he let his guard down to the point of allowing Nari to cook for a shared dinner they planned to have; Nari [[drug]]ged his food and disappeared while Dionus was unconscious. He did not expect to meet her again, but bore her no grudge, happy that she was still alive somewhere and hoping that her time at the clinic, however unorthodox, had still done her some good.

[[Bill Baggs]]'s intention writing {{cs|Me & My Ghost (audio story)}} was obviously that the [[Renegade Time Lord|renegade]] who turned herself into "Nari" was [[the Rani]]: the name Nari, taken from a {{w|Narfi (son of Loki)|minor, male character from Norse Mythology}}, is an anagram for her title, and she is noted to have talents as a [[chemistry|chemist]], mirroring the Rani's status as a "brilliant [[Biochemistry|biochemist]]". | |||
On the cover of ''Me & My Ghost'' created by [[Phil Shaw]], Nari appeared as a mere shadow in the background, obviating the need to depict her facial features. The shadowy Nari's silhouette broadly resembled that of [[Kate O'Mara]]'s [[First Rani|version]] of the Rani, although it is not clear that Nari would actually have been intended to be the [[Kate O'Mara]] [[First Rani|incarnation]] of the Rani: Dionus does not quite recognise her at first glance, despite feeling he has met her before, and [[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories|Big Finish's ''Doctor Who'' audio plays]] had previously established that O'Mara's Rani regenerated into a [[Second Rani|new incarnation]] long before the [[Last Great Time War]]. | On the cover of ''Me & My Ghost'' created by [[Phil Shaw]], Nari appeared as a mere shadow in the background, obviating the need to depict her facial features.
