The first [[incarnation]] of the [[regeneration cycle]] bestowed upon him by the [[Time Lord]]s at [[Clara Oswald]]'s urging at the end of the [[Siege of Trenzalore]], the '''Twelfth Doctor''' valued a pragmatic approach with an acerbic and blunt insensitivity, often dispensing with niceties in a tense situation, becoming cold and calculative when needed. However, despite his ruthless exterior, the Doctor was actually deeply caring and empathetic, always striving to help others for the sake of being kind. Exploiting his vast intelligence and experiences without a fear of hiding his age, he could be difficult to deal with when there was work to be done, but remained capable of incredible compassion towards even the least likely of folk, determined the save anyone he could if it was an option, while not wasting time trying to save someone who was doomed beyond salvation. | |||
Unique amongst his incarnations, the Twelfth Doctor would not travel full time with the large majority of his companions, with some like [[Clara Oswald]] and [[Bill Potts]] taking breaks from the TARDIS between travels, some like [[Hattie Munroe]] taking the occasional trip, and some like [[Jata]] being involved in various side quests during a longer trip. He was also known to go long periods of time in one location, such as the town of [[Краснодар]], his [[confession dial]], 1970s [[Brixton]], [[Darillium]] and [[St Luke's University]]. | |||
Assured of the survival of [[Gallifrey]], the Doctor was no longer chained down by guilt, becoming a less amiable character, as he no longer needed to cover the pain of what he thought was the extinction of the Time Lords, which left him to wonder if he was still a "good man", a question left more uncertain by his failure to reform [[Rusty (Into the Dalek)|a Dalek]], and when compared to the more idealistically heroic characters like [[Robin Hood]] and [[Danny Pink]]. As he continued to drive people away with his apparent callousness, even Clara found herself wanting to leave the Doctor when he took his disinterest too far, until he proved his worth to her by defeating [[the Foretold]], although this left Clara trying to emulate him in their battles with the [[Boneless]] and the [[Umbra (The Eye of Torment)|Umbra]], further confusing the Doctor on his moral standings, which was not resolved until his first confrontation with [[Missy]], where she tried to corrupt him by handing him [[3W Cyberman|an army]] of [[Cybermen]] to force his ideas of peace of the universe, and he realised that he was simply "an idiot with [[The Doctor's TARDIS|a box]] and [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|screwdriver]]" who went around helping where he could. However, the fallout of Missy's plan left the Doctor and Clara deciding to part ways. | |||
After | After they were reunited in an attack by the [[Dream crab]]s, the Doctor and Clara experienced dreams of what their lives would be like without the other and decided to take a second chance with adventuring together, with the Doctor showing his goofier side more clearly and forging a closer bond with Clara as they faced machinations from the likes of [[Davros]], Missy and the [[Fisher King]]. | ||
However, the threat of a mythical creature called [[the Hybrid]] would haunt their travels, as the Doctor combined [[Mire]] technology to render a Viking girl named [[Ashildr]] immortal, and she would continue to watch him and Clara from the shadows of history, as they stopped a [[Zygon]] rebellion and saved [[Jess Collins]] from the [[Corvid]]s at [[Highgate Cemetery]]. Eventually, Ashildr would make her move against the Doctor at the behest of {{Sumpter}}, and Clara was killed as the Doctor was trapped in a [[Confession Dial]] and forced to endure four-and- a-half billion years of torture to get him to confess what he knew of the Hybrid. After he manged to escape, the Doctor [[Coup against Rassilon|ousted]] Rassilon from Gallifrey and tried to resurrected Clara with an [[extraction chamber]], but only succeeded in retrieving her from the seconds before her death. Fleeing Gallifrey to the [[end of the universe]], the Doctor retrieved Ashildr to help him erase Clara's memories of him to hide her from the Time Lords, but ultimately had his memories of her erased with the [[neural block]], leaving Clara and Ashildr to travel the universe while he continued his solitary exploits. | |||
Now content with being "an old man messing about in time and space", the Doctor was reunited with [[Gabby Gonzalez]] by [[the Moment]], and joined forces with his previous companions to take down [[Josiah W. Dogbolter]]. He also enjoyed some adventures with guitarist [[Hattie Munroe]], and spend some time living with Jess's family when his TARDIS was left recovering from an implosion. After seeing to the formation of the [[Coal Hill defenders]] at [[Coal Hill Academy]], the Doctor helped the [[Osumaran]] [[Jata]] return to [[Osumare]], and was helped in solving a mystery with [[Alex Yow|Alex]] and [[Brandon Yow]]. Following his accidental gifting of superpowers to [[Grant Gordon]] with the [[Hazandra]] gemstone, the Doctor was reunited with [[River Song]] and had their fated final night on [[Darillium]], which lasted for twenty-four years. | |||
Once his night on Darillium ended, the Doctor was joined by River's assistant, [[Nardole]], when he was charged with guarding Missy in [[The Vault (The Pilot)|a vault]] at [[St Luke's University]], with the Doctor working to rehabilitate her so they could mend their old friendship. However, despite Nardole trying to keep him grounded, the Doctor would find reasons to sneak away from the Vault to adventure in his TARDIS, which happened even more frequently when he began tutoring [[Bill Potts]] by Christmas 2016. Once he decided to make her an official companion after saving her from some [[sentient oil]], the Doctor and Bill fought [[Emojibot]]s at [[Gliese 581d]], saved [[Sea creature (Thin Ice)|a sea serpent]] during the [[1814]] [[Frost fair]] and faced off threats from the [[Dreamspace]] being sent by [[Fey Truscott-Sade]]. | |||
After a rescue mission on [[Chasm Forge]] left him blinded from exposure to vacuum of space, the Doctor was unable to stop an invasion by the [[Monk (species)|Monks]] when Bill brokered a deal with them to restore his sight, and had to endure six months of undercover work to exile them from the Earth, though found that his absence had caused Missy to undergo self-reflection. When she later saved him from [[Mars]], the Doctor granted her access to the TARDIS so that she could watch him, Bill and Nardole adventure against [[light-eating locust]]s and show her a better way of living. However, a final test on Missy's rehabilitation on a [[Mondasian]] [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|colony ship]] resulted in Bill becoming a [[Cyberman]], Missy leaving with the [[Saxon Master]] and Nardole having to be left behind. As he was left mortally wounded in [[Battle of Floor 0507|the battle against the Cybermen]], the Doctor resisted the [[Regeneration|regenerative process]], having grown weary of constantly changing personas and losing companions, but was encouraged to regenerate by [[glass avatar]]s of Bill and Nardole after he crossed paths with his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]] and the [[Testimony]]. Accepting his impending regeneration and his responsibility to life itself, the Doctor used his last moments to give his successor some words of advice before finishing his regeneration into [[Thirteenth Doctor|a female body]]. | |||

After fighting in the [[Siege of Trenzalore]] for nine-hundred-years, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tales of Trenzalore (short story)|Tales of Trenzalore]]'') the [[Eleventh Doctor]] was granted a new regeneration cycle by the [[Time Lord]]s after [[Clara Oswald]] appealed to them to intervene in the Dalek attack on Trenzalore.

After the TARDIS was spat out, the Doctor, in a severe bout of post-regenerative trauma, acted wild and irrationally, until he passed out in front of the [[Paternoster Gang]]. Though put to bed to stabilise, the Doctor soon awoke and, hearing the dinosaur in pain, climbed out onto the rooftop and left on horseback when he saw the T-Rex was being burned to ashes. Deciding to investigate, but still suffering a degree of post-regenerative stress, the Doctor wandered the streets of London. Talking to [[Barney (Deep Breath)|a passing tramp]], the Doctor examined his new facial features, noticing that he had [[Lobus Caecilius|seen it before]], before trading in his previous incarnation's favourite watch for the tramp's coat.

Returning for Clara, the Doctor spoke of the suspicious way Clara had met him in his previous incarnation, only for Clara to likewise voice her uncertainty of the Doctor's identity and asked to be returned home.

Joined by Journey and two other soldiers named [[Gretchen Carlisle]] and [[Ross (Into the Dalek)|Ross]], the Doctor and Clara used a [[moleculon nanoscaler]] to miniaturise themselves and enter the Dalek, whom the Doctor nicknamed "[[Rusty (Into the Dalek)|Rusty]]". After losing Ross to the [[Dalek antibody|Rusty's antibodies]], the Doctor discovered a radiation leak from within Rusty and learned that he had turned good after seeing a star being born.

However, fixing Rusty's power core resulted in the malfunction that turned Rusty good to be reversed, with Rusty's destructive nature returning, and causing Rusty to go on a killing spree, as well as send a distress beacon to summon the Daleks to the rebels' base. | Joined by Journey and two other soldiers named [[Gretchen Carlisle]] and [[Ross (Into the Dalek)|Ross]], the Doctor and Clara used a [[moleculon nanoscaler]] to miniaturise themselves and enter the Dalek, whom the Doctor nicknamed "[[Rusty (Into the Dalek)|Rusty]]".

After getting slapped and lectured by Clara for his apathy, the Doctor realised he could turn Rusty good again by reawakening his memory of the star being born. Instructing Clara to find a way to restore Rusty's memories of the star, the Doctor made his way to the [[Kaled mutant]] within Rusty to mind link with him, causing Rusty to see the Doctor's hatred of the Daleks and destroy the Daleks that had responded to his distress beacon. Leaving to continue his crusade against the Daleks, Rusty commented that Doctor would have made a good Dalek before both of them left. After declining Journey's request to travel with him and Clara, the Doctor returned Clara home, both still unsure if the Doctor was a good man, but with Clara convinced he was at least trying to be one.

As he and Clara set off in the TARDIS, the Doctor told her he only knew what to make the fake ghost say because she told him what it was saying, calling it a [[bootstrap paradox]].

The Doctor and Clara landed on the planet of the [[Velosian]]s, who were being invaded by a battle fleet. The Doctor took the invading fleet away from the Velosians' planet and depowered their weapon banks, but Clara, after spending too long in the [[Spider Mines]], was left drifting in space with a [[Love Sprite]] crawling up here suit, while the Doctor was attacked "four and a bit" battle fleets. After getting the coordinates from Clara, the Doctor materialised the TARDIS around Clara and squashed the Love Sprite under his heel. | |||
Leaving the TARDIS to wipe his shoe on some grass, the Doctor and Clara were promptly captured by [[Viking]]s and taken to their village on a two days' [[longboat]] journey from the TARDIS. When a race called the [[Mire]] attacked the village, killing all of the warriors, a girl named [[Ashildr]] declared war between the village and the Mire. After failing to train the farmers in the village to fight, the Doctor realised the village farmed [[electric eel]]s, enabling him to formulate a plan to defeat the Mire. | |||
When the Mire arrived, the Doctor and the farmers distracted them with a party in a barn, while the other villagers used the eels to electrocute four of the Mire and remove their armour and weapons.

Wanting to visit a music performance in [[1972]] [[London]], the Doctor was playing his [[guitar]] on the streets when he was sighted by [[Jess Collins]], who followed him to the TARDIS, despite his attempts to avoid her. When the TARDIS picked up an alien distress signal in the [[London Underground]], where Jess' father, [[Lloyd Collins|Lloyd]], worked, Jess followed him to investigate the signal. In the tunnels, they were caught by Lloyd and then attacked by a skeletal [[Hakuai|bird creature]], but the Doctor disabled the creature with [[electricity]] from the Underground, noting it was an animated cadaver. Lloyd, injured by the creature, was taken to hospital, where the Doctor scanned him and realised he had an unidentifiable bacterial infection. Returning to the Underground with Jess, the Doctor found a telepathic node on the creature's body, which explained that the creature was an alien called [[Moan'na]], who had fled his kind and disguised himself as a human in [[17th century]] London. The Doctor determined that Moan'na had died of the [[bubonic plague]] as a human in [[1665]], but his alien body had enhanced the illness and caused Lloyd to fall under it. | Wanting to visit a music performance in [[1972]] [[London]], the Doctor was playing his [[guitar]] on the streets when he was sighted by [[Jess Collins]], who followed him to the TARDIS, despite his attempts to avoid her.

The Doctor took Bill to [[Plex]]'s [[Planet (The Promise)|adopted home planet]] to see the first generation born independently, only to find them to be hostile. With the [[Chameleon Arch]] [[biodata module]] having broken since he last used it, the Doctor instead brought the planet to peace by telling the clones a glamourised version of their history.

The Doctor and Bill tracked what appeared to be a shooting [[star]] to the village of [[Little Smallington]]. Arriving at the village hall, they learned the star was actually a hog-shaped multi-function [[recycling drone]] on a rampage because of its overheated nuclear reactor. With the aid of the young [[Smallington Secret Squad]], they lured "[[Hangry]] the hog" into a trap using all the [[metal]] they could find that resulted in the mechanical hog landing in a river.

[[File:Twelfth Doctor and Clara under Stonehenge.jpg|thumb|left|Due to a temporal crisis, the Doctor and Clara share one last adventure in the tunnels beneath [[Stonehenge]]. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Lost in Time (video game)|Lost in Time]]'')]] | |||
While travelling in the TARDIS with Bill, the Doctor was affected by a temporal crisis affecting all his other incarnations, rendering TARDIS travel all but impossible except from one [[vortex energy]]-charged space-time [[Waypoint]] to the next. The Doctor made an [[emergency landing]] to [[Gallifrey]], where he was contacted by the time-hopping [[K9 Mark IV]] on behalf of the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], and informed about the basic situation. At K9's advice, he stole a stash of [[Kyfred Gem]]s from the [[Panopticon]], and headed to the [[Untempered Schism]] with Bill to try and use them to stabilise the [[temporal energy]] by hurling them into the [[Time Vortex]] "like skipping stones". He then returned to his TARDIS, which had charged up with vortex energy, only to be chased through time by a [[Dalek]] and forced into another emergency landing in the same [[Nevada]] desert where he had parted with Clara, where he met with Clara again, with the aberrant temporal circumstances allowing him to recognise her. When another Clara from an earlier point in her and the Doctor's time-streams arrived, she was able to talk the Dalek into [[self-destruct]]ing as the older Clara and the Doctor travelled onwards to the [[Underhenge]] housing the [[Pandorica]], where they escaped the [[Cybermen]] before parting ways again, though the Doctor was quickly greeted by [[Rory Williams]] and [[River Song]]. Experiencing severe [[time echo]]es that made him flash back to his [[Second Doctor|second]] and [[third incarnation]]s, the Doctor finally realised that he was losing his [[Time Sense]], shedding his [[symbiotic nucleus|symbiotic nuclei]] at every Waypoint, even as some of his other selves came to "parallel" conclusions.

Burdened with a unending anger, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doorway to Hell (comic story)|Doorway to Hell]]'') and a fear of what his rage was capable of, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') the Twelfth Doctor started his journey as a gruff yet compassionate man, ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'', ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') who struggled with the inner turmoil of his questionable morality ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') and how his action could lead to devastating consequences ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'', ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') even as he embraced a goofier side of himself. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Meditation (theatrical film)|The Doctor's Meditation]]'', ''[[The Zygon Invasion (TV story)|The Zygon Invasion]]'') He eventually made peace with himself, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|The Husbands of River Song]]'') embracing his role as both warrior and protector ([[TV]]: ''[[Empress of Mars (TV story)|Empress of Mars]]'', ''[[The Eaters of Light (TV story)|The Eaters of Light]]'') to become a true paragon of kindness and hope. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'', ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') Though he grew lax enough to use the contemporary slang ([[TV]]: ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]'', ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'', ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]'') he had previously looked down upon, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Terrorformer (comic story)|Terrorformer]]'') the Doctor never softened from his harsh attitude to those he saw as impulsive and reckless due to their shortsightedness, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eaters of Light (TV story)|The Eaters of Light]]'') but would try to inspire his foes to better themselves when he could.

With his main impetus for many adventures being to stimulate his scientific curiosity, ([[TV]]: ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'') the Doctor would be forever enthralled by the strange beauties he found in a universe that birthed grand creations. ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'', ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'', ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'', ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'') However, beneath the fierce determination and adventurous persona, the Twelfth Doctor was a weary man who would succumb to despair when pushed to the brink, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'', ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'', ''[[Extremis (TV story)|Extremis]]'', ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'', ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') feeling ostracised from a universe that didn't "see" him.

([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'', ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'') Though he tried to avoid pessimism, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'') the Doctor would not give his sympathies lightly. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'', ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]'', ''[[The Eaters of Light (TV story)|The Eaters of Light]]'') He could also be oblivious to his faults, while criticising the same faults he saw elsewhere. ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'') | |||
He struggled to disguise himself in the mundane world, failing to hide his alien nature by openly calling people "humans", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', ''[[Empress of Mars (TV story)|Empress of Mars]]'') and had a tendency to resolve his problems with explosions, ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'', ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'', ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'', ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'', ''[[The Pyramid at the End of the World (TV story)|The Pyramid at the End of the World]]'', ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') which he chalked up as a "childish impulse". ([[TV]]: ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'') While he would not run from danger, ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'') he would hide from his shame, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') and shirk his responsibilities to indulge in more excitable activities, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Meditation (theatrical film)|The Doctor's Meditation]]'', ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'', ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]'', ''[[The Eaters of Light (TV story)|The Eaters of Light]]'') having trouble ignoring the call for adventure.

Preferring to keep his softer side hidden under a "reputation [of] grumpiness", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Hyperion Empire (comic story)|The Hyperion Empire]]'') the Doctor would make people keep their emotions in check while they were distressed, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'', ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'', ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') making him come across as callous and dismissive, ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'', ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'', ''[[In the Forest of the Night (TV story)|In the Forest of the Night]]'') which he refused to be apologetic for. ([[TV]]: ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'') He himself tried to avoid his own emotions by preferring to talk about subjects he enjoyed during emotional moments. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'') However, behind his cold exterior, he was extremely self-reflective, to the point where he even questioned whether he was a good man, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') knowing that he often found himself in situations that forced him to make terrible decisions. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'') Clara felt that "there were several layers to the Doctor's emotions."

[[File: | [[File:Awkward Hug.jpg|thumb|right|The Doctor decides hugging isn't for him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'')]] | ||
Unlike his immediate predecessor, the Twelfth Doctor was not an affectionate individual, failing to return [[hug]]s, or protesting against them, ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'', ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'') believing they were just another way to hide one's face. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') He also expressed a dislike of holding hands with others, though made an exception for Clara and [[Shona McCullough]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'', ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') but he drew the line at performing a [[high five]] with Clara. ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'') He was also uncomfortable with [[kiss]]ing, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') with even a peck on the check stunning him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'') However, he pecked Missy on the lips in gratitude for forcing him into self-reflection, ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') kissed Clara's forehead while complimenting her brilliance in a moment of excitement, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Big Hush (comic story)|The Big Hush]]'') and gave [[Meghan (All the Empty Towers)|Meghan]], a donkey he had befriended, a kiss on the head when he thought no one was looking. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All the Empty Towers (short story)|All the Empty Towers]]'') | |||
While he identified himself as a civilian, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') the Doctor did not hide how superior he felt with his intelligence, ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'') unafraid to put people down with harsh comments upon meeting them, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'', ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'') even claiming to have laughed at [[Orson Pink]]'s name. ([[TV]]: ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'') While his personal views caused him to make unfavourable judgments of people upon meeting them, ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'', ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', ''[[Flatline (TV story)|Flatline]]'') the Doctor knew not to be judgmental of alien behaviour, ([[TV]]: ''[[Flatline (TV story)|Flatline]]'') and was quick to bond with fellow rebels. ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'', ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'') However, he was not above saying how funny he found humans' "small brain[s]" ([[TV]]: ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'') and telling them to panic over their "short lifespan", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'') though he was quick to call out his own idiocy when he realised he had made a mistake. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'', ''[[In the Forest of the Night (TV story)|In the Forest of the Night]]'', ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') | |||
Because names were "not [his] area", ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'') the Doctor could neglect to ask for names when he met someone, ([[TV]]: ''[[In the Forest of the Night (TV story)|In the Forest of the Night]]'') as he often chose to forget people, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'', ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') or didn't have time to remember individual names. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') As such, the Doctor made a habit of assigning nicknames to others based on their appearance, an accessory they carried or their profession, ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'', ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'') and would insist on addressing them as their nickname, such as calling Maths teacher [[Danny Pink]] "P.E." due to him being a former soldier, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', ''[[In the Forest of the Night (TV story)|In the Forest of the Night]]'') though he dropped the nickname after Danny died. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') He also continued to address [[Rigsy]] as "Local Knowledge" when he was standing in front of him, ([[TV]]: ''[[Flatline (TV story)|Flatline]]'') and when they reunited years later, only dropping the nickname when he learned Rigsy's life was in danger. ([[TV]]: ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'') He would also start addressing people by their real names instead of nicknaming them when they earned his respect. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Eye of Torment (comic story)|The Eye of Torment]]'') | |||
However, after embracing the idea of being "just a bloke in a box", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'') the Doctor employed a wackier demeanour, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'', ''[[The Zygon Invasion (TV story)|The Zygon Invasion]]'') wearing more casual clothing, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Meditation (TV story)|The Doctor's Meditation]]'', ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'', ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'') and relaxing by playing his guitar in the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Lived (TV story)|The Woman Who Lived]]'', ''[[The Zygon Invasion (TV story)|The Zygon Invasion]]'') He made a better effort to be nicer through the use of [[apology cue cards]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'', ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'') in order to live up to the idea of who he thought "the Doctor" should be. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'', ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'', ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') He also began to accept Clara's attempts to hug him, ([[TV]]: ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'', ''[[The Woman Who Lived (TV story)|The Woman Who Lived]]'') and even started hugging her on the odd occasion, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'', ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') as well as asking if he could hold her hand in frightful moments. ([[TV]]: ''[[Sleep No More (TV story)|Sleep No More]]'') However, he did not entirely abandon his pragmatic ideology, ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'', ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') and would resume being hostile when angered. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'', ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'', ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') | |||
<!--Examples following this point focus on characteristics displayed prominently after his memory wipe--> | |||
After having his mind wiped by a [[neural block]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') caused him to decide to simply be "an old man messing about in time and space", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Haunted (short story)|Haunted]]'') the Doctor adopted a kinder approach to how he handled situations, though he did not wish to be seen as "sentimentalise[d]" ([[TV]]: ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'') and was still cynical on the never changing aspects of the universe. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]'') While he retained his crossness, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|The Husbands of River Song]]'', ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'') being against "cheerful[ness]" and "charm", ([[TV]]: ''[[Knock Knock (TV story)|Knock Knock]]'', ''[[The Eaters of Light (TV story)|The Eaters of Light]]'') he was more willing to laugh at the silliness he found in his travels ([[TV]]: ''[[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|The Husbands of River Song]]'') and would be deliberately pedantic in the face of danger. ([[TV]]: ''[[For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)|For Tonight We Might Die]]'', ''[[The Pyramid at the End of the World (TV story)|The Pyramid at the End of the World]]'', ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') | |||
Though he was against vengeance, ([[TV]]: ''[[For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)|For Tonight We Might Die]]'') the Doctor still stood in defiance of those "who contribute[d] nothing of worth to the world and crush[ed] the hopes and dreams of working people". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|The Husbands of River Song]]'') Now content that "only idiots [had] the answers", ([[TV]]: ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'') he was more comfortable with being open about his ignorance, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pilot (TV story)|The Pilot]]'') and agreed that he was "completely out of [his] mind". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]'', ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]'') While he "never notice[d] the tears", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pilot (TV story)|The Pilot]]'') he was better at making friends, ([[TV]]: ''[[Knock Knock (TV story)|Knock Knock]]'') even playing the part a playful jokester with Bill, ([[TV]]: ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'') as he tried to avoid being serious. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]'') | |||
Though he remained reluctant to initiate a hug at first, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Good Companion (comic story)|The Good Companion]]'') the Doctor accepted being a hugger by the time he reunited with [[Maxwell Edison]], giving an affectionate one to Max, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Stockbridge Showdown (comic story)|The Stockbridge Showdown]]'') and also embraced the chance to hug Bill after losing her in [[Battle of Floor 0507|a conflict with the Cybermen]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') | |||
Having accepted that "times end", the Doctor found the courage in himself to finally face his night on [[Darillium]] with [[River Song]], embracing the bittersweet "happy ever after" for them that had previously been too hard to bear. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|The Husbands of River Song]]'') After he left Darillium, the Doctor allowed Nardole to accompany him to avoid being lonely. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]'') While normally in control of himself and disciplined in his actions, ([[TV]]: ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'') the Doctor's longing to travel again while guarding [[The Vault (The Pilot)|the Vault]] at [[St Luke's University]] led him to indulge in more impulsive and reckless actions that left his guard down. ([[TV]]: ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'', ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]'', ''[[The Pyramid at the End of the World (TV story)|The Pyramid at the End of the World]]'', ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'') | |||
<!--Examples following this point focus on characteristics displayed through his tenure--> | |||
Viewed as an egotist by [[Clara Oswald]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'') the Doctor had a consistently anti-authoritarian attitude, only ever asking who was in charge so he would "know who to ignore", ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'') seeing it as his place to give the explanations, ([[TV]]: ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') and also did not like it when somebody else tried to "do the naming." ([[TV]]: ''[[Sleep No More (TV story)|Sleep No More]]'') As he "hardly ever listen[ed] when other people [were] talking", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]'') the Doctor tended to stop listening to ongoing conversations when he lost interest, ([[TV]]: ''[[Flatline (TV story)|Flatline]]'', ''[[The Woman Who Lived (TV story)|The Woman Who Lived]]'') as he saw only himself as being "someone worth talking to". ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'') He enjoyed his privacy, ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'', ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'', ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'') and preferred to be left alone when on a mission. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'') | |||
The Doctor also showed a strong compassionate streak, willing to put himself in a dangerous situation in the place of stranger as equally as a dear friend, ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'', ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]'') and make enormous personal sacrifices simply to liberate others from suffering. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'', ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'', ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') He would also try to avoid harming those who were not in control of their actions, as well as defend them from their captors or those who would cause them further harm. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Silhouette (novel)|Silhouette]]'', ''[[The Crawling Terror (novel)|The Crawling Terror]]'') He was quick to forgive those that had wronged him, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'', ''[[The Woman Who Lived (TV story)|The Woman Who Lived]]'', ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]'') and would try to make peace with even his oldest enemies, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'', ''[[Extremis (TV story)|Extremis]]'') believing that while "passion [fought], [it was] reason [that won]." ([[TV]]: ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'') | |||

([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'') He also let down his gruff guard to do a victory dance after moving the shrunken TARDIS off a train line with his hand, ([[TV]]: ''[[Flatline (TV story)|Flatline]]'') and ecstatically steer [[Santa Claus]]'s sleigh. ([[TV]]: ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') [[Kevin Alperton]] noted that, while the Doctor looked old, he had an energy to him that made him seem younger and different. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crawling Terror (novel)|The Crawling Terror]]'') | ||
While he made it his mission to always stay with those he could help to be "kind", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') the Twelfth Doctor was more willing to leave a situation if he believed he had nothing to contribute, justifying himself by pointing out the dangers of everyday life and how he was not an authority figure, ([[TV]]: ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'', ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'', ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') though he would justify his actions with the phrase "daddy knows best". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]'') | |||
<!--Examples following this point focus on traits that highlight this particular incarnation of the Doctor being self-defensive or insecure--> | |||
The Twelfth Doctor did not see himself as a "hero", merely someone who was "just passing the time" by passing by, ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'', ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'') but would answer distress signals, believing that he only saw "the true face of the universe when it [was] asking for [his] help", ([[TV]]: ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]'') and deemed the Earth as his protectorate. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') | |||
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's likes and dislikes--> | |||
Enjoying the "deep and lovely dark", the Doctor enthusiastically tried to find out the cause of his childhood nightmares, ([[TV]]: ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'') was delighted when he finally saw the [[Foretold]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'') got giddy over possibly finding out the existence of ghosts, ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'') was very eager to explore a mysterious house ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Playing House (comic story)|Playing House]]'') and gleefully laughed as he sped a ship into British waters. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]'') Hoping to find danger wherever he went, ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'') he branded solutions that he found easy to be "boring", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'') though he did appreciate how the occasional anti-climax was good for his health. ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') | |||
Though he did not know the reason, believing it to simply be his old age, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blood Cell (novel)|The Blood Cell]]'') the Twelfth Doctor expressed a strong dislike for soldiers and military figures, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'', ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') being "decidedly prickly in his dealing with anything remotely military", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crawling Terror (novel)|The Crawling Terror]]'') though claimed his disdain was flexible in a crisis, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blood Cell (novel)|The Blood Cell]]'') and he eventually lost his disdain as he grew kinder. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]'') He was also easily annoyed by swashbucklers who did not take things seriously and insisted on fighting pointless battles, ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'', ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') and held a disdain towards businesspeople who valued profit above anything else. ([[TV]]: ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'', ''[[Sleep No More (TV story)|Sleep No More]]'') | |||
The Doctor was also "against" bantering.

([[TV]]: ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]'') He voiced a hatred for being wrong in public, ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'') [[babysitter]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') ''[[Candy Crush]]'', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blood Cell (novel)|The Blood Cell]]'') [[money]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Terrorformer (comic story)|Terrorformer]]'') missing the obvious, ([[TV]]: ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]''), [[pantomime]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Behind You (short story)|Behind You]]'') [[cyclops|cyclopes]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor on the Menu (comic story)|Doctor on the Menu]]'') [[viking]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') [[gardening]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'') [[Christmas]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Relative Dimensions (comic story)|Relative Dimensions]]'') being sure of something, "lying-down people", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|The Husbands of River Song]]'') "themed planets", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Dragon Lord (comic story)|The Dragon Lord]]'') and "brave people".

While he claimed to hate not knowing about something when faced with [[The Teller (Time Heist)|the Teller]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'') he was known to admire the unexplainable.

([[TV]]: ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'') His "lucky number" was [[12 (number)|12]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Meditation (TV story)|The Doctor's Meditation]]'') and he considered "maths and alcoholic beverages" to be the "best way to spend the morning".

([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'') He didn't care about [[sexuality]], instead being bothered by people hating each other, and didn't approve of revenge either. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Swords of Kali (comic story)|The Swords of Kali]]'') By his own testament, he did not suffer fools gladly, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blood Cell (novel)|The Blood Cell]]'') nor did he tolerate poor manners, even when held at gunpoint, and believed that one should make requests politely, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') as well as avoid bad language, ([[TV]]: ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'', ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'') and gloating. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Doctor and the Dalek (video game)|The Doctor and the Dalek]]'') He "[found] it best to keep an open mind, unclouded by the opinions of others", favoured the direct approach when he encountered an obstacle, and believed it was always best to assume and plan for the worst-case scenario. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Silhouette (novel)|Silhouette]]'') | |||
He | He viewed pain as a gift, believing that "without the capacity for pain, [one] can't feel the hurt [they] inflict," ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') and also thought that "a bit of shame never hurt anyone," ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'') and that true [[immortality]] was "everybody else dying". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') Indeed, the Doctor held a veneration of the dead, ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'') ceasing all insults towards [[Danny Pink]] after being told of his passing, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') was morally outraged with the [[Fisher King]] for using the souls of the dead as transmitters for his armada, ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'') and become hurt when he thought the [[Testimony Foundation]] had duplicated Bill after she "gave her life so that people she barely knew could live". ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') | ||
Stubborn in his beliefs to the point that he would deny any evidence that contradicted his statements in the face of proof confirming otherwise, ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'', ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'', ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') the Doctor also believed that one could always find something to be distracted by, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') felt invasions of Earth were justified after hearing about the horror film ''[[Alien (film)|Alien]]'', ([[TV]]: ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') and expressed the opinion that an enemy was "just a friend [one] didn't really know yet".

([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') While he believed that "a good death [was] the best anyone [could] hope for", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') he didn't think it was possible to "die well". ([[TV]]: ''[[For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)|For Tonight We Might Die]]'') When giving life advice, the Doctor would say to laugh hard because everything was "always funny", to run fast "like hell" because people always needed to, to never fail at being kind, and to always make amends if they acted cruel and cowardly.

Even though he identified himself as a pacifist ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Terrorformer (comic story)|Terrorformer]]'') and believed necessary evils to be a last resort, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fractures (comic story)|The Fractures]]'') the Twelfth Doctor was unafraid to trade blows with others. ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'', ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'', ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'', ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'') Though he initially stated that murder was against his "programming", ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'') the Doctor knew there were "situations when the options available [were] limited" and death was unavoidable, ([[TV]]: ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'') and was willing to allow a few inevitable deaths if it meant saving the majority, acting like a pragmatist that would not hesitate to abandon someone whose fate was already sealed, willing to sacrifice others when he had broader goals in mind, and would not mourn for an ally until his objective had been reached. ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'', ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'', ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'', ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'', ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'', ''[[Sleep No More (TV story)|Sleep No More]]'', ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'') However, the Doctor was still willing to go out of his way to try and save people if their deaths were not an immediate inevitability, even if it was the life of [[Bird (A Hero like the Doctor)|a caged bird]]. ([[WC]]: ''[[A Hero like the Doctor (webcast)|A Hero like the Doctor]]'') | |||
The Doctor | While he was adamant not to kill out of hatred, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'') especially when conflicts could be resolved diplomatically, ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]'') the Doctor was willing to kill to spare others from the burden of taking a life, ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') or when acting in extreme selfishness and being assured they could recover with a [[regeneration]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') He once gave permission for UNIT to engage [[Zygon]]s with lethal force, so long as they kept fatalities to a minimum, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Zygon Invasion (TV story)|The Zygon Invasion]]'') and left [[Ron Cordell]] and some [[Skink]]s to be devoured by a [[black hole]] after tampering with the [[black hole drive]]'s containment field. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Pirates of Vourakis (comic story)|Pirates of Vourakis]]'') He also viewed certain creatures as expendable, as he wanted to kill a [[Dream crab]] to save Clara from slowly being devoured by it, ([[TV]]: ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') and crushed a [[Love Sprite]] under his heel to prevent it attacking him.

While he did not dwell on the subject much, the Twelfth Doctor was still haunted by the [[War Doctor]]'s actions in the [[Last Great Time War]], and claimed to hear "more screams than anyone could ever be able to count" whenever he closed his eyes. When he learned that all [[Bonnie (The Zygon Invasion)|Bonnie]] truly wanted was a pointless war between humanity and the Zygons, he went into a furious and grief-stricken tirade by telling her that he knew what war was really like and that he would not allow her to lead others to their deaths. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]'') While he disliked guns, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') he noted that it was foolish to disregard them when they were useful, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crawling Terror (novel)|The Crawling Terror]]'') and was willing to utilise them when he felt the need to, but would immediately discard them once they was no longer needed.

While he could forget the consequences of time travelling when carried away, ([[TV]]: ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'') the Twelfth Doctor was unwilling to alter the [[Web of Time]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') fearing that the ramifications from the tiniest changes could be catastrophic, spreading "carnage and chaos across the universe like ripples on a pond," ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'') though he preferred to create "ripples" instead of "tidal waves." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') | |||
He believed it was okay to send people to their deaths if history recorded them as deceased, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crawling Terror (novel)|The Crawling Terror]]'') and told [[Mason Bennett]] that he "[couldn't] just go back and cut off tragedy at the root because [then] [he'd] find [him]self talking to someone [he'd] just saw dead on a slab, [and] then [he] really [would] see ghosts". ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'') However, he knew "to hold [himself] to the mark" on how to save a single soul despite the Web of Time due to [[Donna Noble]]'s words to his [[tenth incarnation]] at [[Pompeii]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'') and was willing to change certain points he encountered if "even a ghastly future [proved] better than no future at all". ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'') Emotionally broken after the death of Clara, the Doctor used an [[extraction chamber]] on [[Gallifrey]] to save her from the [[Quantum Shade]], and also attempted to prevent her from returning to her death, despite it being a [[fixed point in time]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') and engineered events to prevent [[Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart]] and [[German soldier (Twice Upon a Time)|a German soldier]] from killing each other, claiming that "a couple fewer dead people on the battlefield" would not "hurt".

Diagnosed with "Attention Deficit [Disorder]" by Clara, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Meditation (theatrical film)|The Doctor's Meditation]]'') the Doctor would include mundane outcomes in his summarisation when explaining the consequences of actions taken, ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[The Girl Who Died (TV story)|The Girl Who Died]]'', ''[[The Zygon Invasion (TV story)|The Zygon Invasion]]'', ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]'', ''[[The Pyramid at the End of the World (TV story)|The Pyramid at the End of the World]]'') had trouble recognising people's age group, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'', ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'', ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'', ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]'') would fail to realise when he had lost someone he was talking to, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Eye of Torment (comic story)|The Eye of Torment]]'') forgot people he had only recently met, ([[TV]]: ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'', ''[[In the Forest of the Night (TV story)|In the Forest of the Night]]'', ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') and was also shown to have a poor concept on the passage of time.

He claimed that taking charge was his "superpower", ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'') and listed "investigating", "playing with time" and "resistance" among his specialities, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Terrorformer (comic story)|Terrorformer]]'', ''[[The Swords of Kali (comic story)|The Swords of Kali]]'', ''[[The Fractures (comic story)|The Fractures]]'') with Clara also adding "interfering and infuriating" to the list.

Feeling it was his house ([[TV]]: ''[[Flatline (TV story)|Flatline]]'') and method of escaping his troubles, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Theatre of the Mind (comic story)|Theatre of the Mind]]'') the Doctor redecorated his console room to have bookshelves, chairs and workbenches. ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'') He told [[Bill Potts]] that the TARDIS was a "technological marvel", "science beyond magic", and "the gateway to everything that ever was, or ever can be." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pilot (TV story)|The Pilot]]'') He did, however, occasionally enact violence against his TARDIS out of frustration, striking its column with his fists hard enough to damage it after discovering Missy's coordinates to Gallifrey had been a lie, ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') and later struck the console with enough force to believe he had broken a finger.

According to [[Affinity]], the Doctor kept his predecessors "lodged in his head", and held a low opinion of them and himself, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Silhouette (novel)|Silhouette]]'') even comparing a [[Multi-Doctor Event]] to ''[[The Krankies]]''. ([[WC]]: ''[[Doctors Assemble! (webcast)|Doctors Assemble!]]'') While he reflected that the [[First Doctor]] was "not much fun", ([[POEM]]: ''[[Full Stop (poem)|Full Stop]]'') the Twelfth Doctor was delighted by some of his habits when he encountered him at the [[South Pole]], such as still referring tohis TARDIS as "the Ship". However, he was embarrassed by the First Doctor's habit of making comments that were inappropriate in the Twelfth Doctor's eyes, especially when he threatened to give Bill a "jolly good smacked bottom" if she kept on swearing. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') Additionally, he was critical of his previous incarnations' clothing, thinking that his [[fourth incarnation]]'s [[The Doctor's scarf|scarf]] "looked stupid", ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'') and regarded the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s fondness for [[bow tie]]s as "a bit embarrassing", ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'') though complimented the [[Zygon Osgood]]'s bow tie as "nice". ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') | |||
While he | While he held the [[Ninth Doctor]] in high regards, saying the [[Continuity bomb]] could not find a timeline where he wasn't "fantastic", the Twelfth Doctor had a frosty accord with the [[Tenth Doctor]], who refused to consider the twelfth incarnation as a future incarnation until the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]] confirmed he was, when he met his two previous incarnations. While he degraded them as "manic pixie dream Doctors", the Twelfth Doctor expressed concern that the two would come to know him as the "scary Doctor". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'') In a later encounter with his tenth incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor referred to him as "Bambi", being dismissive of how overtly emotional he had been and having some embarrassment for his obsession with [[Rose Tyler]], but seemed to retain a fondness for the Tenth Doctor's life. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Vortex Butterflies (comic story)|Vortex Butterflies]]'') Even after undergoing a more positive outlook, the Twelfth Doctor still disliked the Tenth Doctor for his "excited puppy routine". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'') | ||
Though he preferred him to other incarnations, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'') the Twelfth Doctor disliked his [[Eleventh Doctor|immediate predecessor]] for his enjoyment of bow ties and [[fez]]zes, and overuse of the word "cool". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Terrorformer (comic story)|Terrorformer]]'') However, upon seeing [[Adrian Davies]], a teacher at [[Coal Hill School]] with a resemblance to his eleventh incarnation, the Doctor, mistaking Adrian as Clara's boyfriend, arrogantly assumed that Clara was dating Adrian because of his uncanny resemblance to "a certain dashing young time traveller", reflecting more favourably on his predecessor. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'') | |||

As with his previous incarnations, the Twelfth Doctor relied on his companions to keep him from succumbing to his darker nature, and actively praised them for it, even claiming that [[Clara Oswald]] needed a "raise" for dealing with him, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') and telling [[Bill Potts]] that people like her encouraged him to put up with the rest of humanity. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]'') He also enjoyed it when his companions asked him obvious questions, claiming that it helped him think, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blood Cell (novel)|The Blood Cell]]'') but disliked it when they pointed out mistakes he made, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]'') and identified them as his "social interface with the human race", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fractures (comic story)|The Fractures]]'') and the main reason he didn't need an army. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') However, he was willing to place his companions in danger if it meant appeasing his curiosity, often leaving them out of the details in his plans or using them to distract attention away from himself, ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'', ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'', ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'', ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]'') but, if he believed the situation was too dangerous for them, he would send his companions to the safety of the TARDIS while staring down the threat alone. ([[TV]]: ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'', ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'', ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'', ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'', ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') | |||
He held deep affection for [[Clara Oswald]], considering her to be his [[best friend]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'') and cared for her to the point that her betraying him couldn't make a difference to how he felt about her. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') His connection with her was so deep that, after was killed by the [[Quantum Shade]], he respected her wishes to not target [[Ashildr]] for her role in Clara's death. ([[TV]]: ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'') However, after spending four billion years in a temporal loop mourning her death, ([[TV]]: ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'', ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') the Doctor became unhinged, deciding no one would stop him bringing Clara back, threatening all who tried to prevent him restoring her to life, even forcing the [[Eleventh General]] to regenerate, until events forced him to lose his memories of Clara. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') When his memories of her were restored, he was delighted, thankful he could finally remember her face. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') | |||
Although he tended to be dismissive of [[Nardole]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Knock Knock (TV story)|Knock Knock]]'', ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]'', ''[[The Eaters of Light (TV story)|The Eaters of Light]]'', ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') the Doctor still took his advice in stock ([[TV]]: ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]'', ''[[Oxygen (TV story)|Oxygen]]'') and chose to sacrifice his own life so Nardole could escape certain death. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') | |||
The Doctor also grew close with [[Bill Potts]], making her his personal student while at [[St Luke's University]], even going back in time to obtain pictures of her mother as a Christmas gift in gratitude for her gifting him a [[carpet]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pilot (TV story)|The Pilot]]'') even though he did not like the carpet. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') He confided in Bill about his concerns over Missy and made it his personal mission to save Bill from death at the hands of the Cybermen. ([[TV]]: ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'') He also didn't like Bill seeing him physically vulnerable, going as far as not telling her about his blindness, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pyramid at the End of the World (TV story)|The Pyramid at the End of the World]]'') or his impending regeneration. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') | |||

Seeing them as "stupid, brilliant, [and] brave semi-sentient monkeys", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Eye of Torment (comic story)|The Eye of Torment]]'') the Twelfth Doctor claimed to the [[Half-Face Man]] that the people of [[Earth]] "[were] never small to [him]," and, unlike his [[tenth incarnation]], he didn't think he deserved [[Final reward|a reward]] or a "promised land" because he had "already [gone] a very long way" to protect the people, ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'') becoming a lost soul beyond redemption. ([[TV]]: ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'') Though he liked them for their optimism, ([[TV]]: ''[[Smile (TV story)|Smile]]'') the Doctor would insult humans when he saw them being slow-minded, greedy and violent, dubbing [[Earth]] the "planet of the pudding-brains." ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'') Nonetheless, he tolerated the company of those who could engage with him intellectually, ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'', ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'', ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'', ''[[Under the Lake (TV story)|Under the Lake]]'', ''[[The Pyramid at the End of the World (TV story)|The Pyramid at the End of the World]]'') unless they got on his bad side first, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fractures (comic story)|The Fractures]]'') and claimed to respect humanity enough to allow it to determine its own future without any interference from him, ([[TV]]: ''[[Kill the Moon (TV story)|Kill the Moon]]'') giving insight and knowledge to those who would listen, while still leaving the decision up to them. ([[TV]]: ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'') As with his previous incarnation, the Twelfth Doctor also liked people who got straight to the point. ([[TV]]: ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') He thought that someone who wasn't scared in a life-threatening situation was "an idiot", ([[TV]]: ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') though was aware that giving in to fear "[did]n't help". ([[TV]]: ''[[Knock Knock (TV story)|Knock Knock]]'') He also cared for mortal lives, ([[TV]]: ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'') however brief they seemed to him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Woman Who Lived (TV story)|The Woman Who Lived]]'') | |||
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's romances--> | |||
Because of his more celibate nature, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') the Doctor failed to notice when someone was asking him if they looked attractive, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'', ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'', ''[[The Woman Who Lived (TV story)|The Woman Who Lived]]'') but did call a female [[Tyrannosaurus rex]] a "big sexy woman" while in a post-regenerative state. ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'') He also considered [[Rona Bellows]] to be "sexy", ([[TV]]: ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'') and shared a mutual attraction with [[River Song]].

([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') When confronting the [[glass avatar]]s of [[Bill Potts]] and [[Nardole]], the Doctor confessed he was "tired of losing people" and, feeling "there [had] to be an end", seeing his long life as "[an] [empty] battlefield, because everyone else [had] fallen". After a final cuddle with the glass avatars, the Doctor decided it was "time to leave the battlefield" and entered the TARDIS alone. Upon looking at the "silly old universe" on the [[TARDIS scanner]], the Doctor, realising that the "more [he] save[d] it, the more it need[ed] saving", decided that "one more lifetime wouldn't kill anyone". Giving instructions to his successor to "never be cruel, [and] never be cowardly", that "hate [was] always foolish, and [that] love [was] always wise", to "never fail to be kind", and to never reveal their name, the Doctor "let [himself] go" and regenerated into a female body.

Much like his predecessor, the Twelfth Doctor used hand gestures to extenuate a point, but applied more dedication to his movements as he stood firm, spoke with conviction, and punctuated his points across with a pointed index finger, though he would become more spontaneous when thinking intensely.
