'''Perpugilliam Brown''', also known as '''Peri''', was a [[companion]] of the [[Fifth Doctor|Fifth]] and [[Sixth Doctor]]s.
 
She was an [[United States|American]] college student who accidentally joined the Fifth Doctor during his visit to [[Lanzarote]] in [[1984]]. She then elected to remain with him for the rest of her vacation time. She remained with the Doctor after his [[regeneration]] into his sixth incarnation. She found it harder to get along with him because of his recklessness, seeing him as arrogant and mad; only to see her own hypocrisy when her influence on him caused the death of [[Gustave Lytton|Gustav Lytton]] by the hands of a [[Cyber-Controller (The Tomb of the Cybermen)|Cyber Controller]], and also the deaths many victims of [[Davros]] and his [[Necros Dalek|Necros Daleks]]. However, as time went on, the Sixth Doctor's personality mellowed and Peri's friendship with him improved, especially after he returned to comfort her after the death of her [[Janine Foster|mother]].
 
Peri was separated from him by the [[Time Lord]]s so that they could cover up the [[Earth|Ravolox]] conspiracy. According to {{Ainley}}, Peri fell in love with King [[Yrcanos]] and married him, but that was just part of the truth. As it turned out, there were several future versions of Peri's life due to interventions of various Time Lord factions. One of these versions of Peri eventually rejoined the Sixth Doctor on his travels after Yrcanos died, though she returned to [[Krontep]] once a year to pay tribute to her late husband.
 
Peri had limited contact with other companions, although she did encounter a few. She spent a significant amount of time alongside the uncrowned [[Egypt]]ian [[Pharaoh]] [[Erimem]], developing a deep sister-like bond. As well as this she had a series of adventures with [[Frobisher]]. She was also acquainted with [[Jamie McCrimmon]], meeting him and the [[Second Doctor]] during an encounter with two [[Androgum|Androgums]] and two leading members of the [[Ninth Sontaran Battle Group]]. She also very briefly met [[Vislor Turlough]] who left the Doctor's company just prior to her joining. She also met [[Kamelion]] briefly before his destruction. She also briefly met [[Ace]], accompanied by the [[Seventh Doctor]], at [[The Factory (The Light at the End)|the Factory]].

== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
=== Childhood ===
Peri was born to [[Paul Brown|Paul]] and [[Janine Foster|Janine Brown]] in [[1966]]. Her parents were married on [[21 November]] [[1962]] and she was their only child. ([[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'') She was raised in [[Fell's Point]], [[Baltimore]], [[Maryland]], where her mother lived until her death. However, her parents and her stepfather were all [[archaeology|archaeologists]]. She travelled around the globe as much as she enjoyed a stable life in Baltimore. Her best friend was [[Kathy Chambers]]. In her youth, she was attracted to Kathy's elder brother, [[Nathaniel Chambers|Nate]]. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Blue Box]]'', [[BFA]]: ''[[The Reaping]]'')
Perpugilliam Brown was born on [[15 November]] [[1966]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}) as the only child of [[archaeology|archaeologists]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blue Box (novel)}}) [[Paul Brown|Paul]] and [[Janine Foster|Janine Brown]], who had married on [[21 November]] [[1962]]. She had an aunt named [[Mona (Peri and the Piscon Paradox)|Mona]] who lived on a trailer park. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}) "Perpugilliam" was an old family name ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Players (novel)}}) which Peri claimed meant "she who lives in the hills" ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Bride of Peladon (audio story)}}) or "by a handful" ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Handful of Stardust (short story)}}) and which she often found people had difficulty pronouncing. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Revelation of the Daleks (novelisation)}})
 
According to most accounts, Peri was raised in [[Baltimore]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|House (short story)}}, {{cs|The Ruins of Heaven (short story)}}; [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Nekromanteia (audio story)}}, {{cs|The Macros (audio story)}}) specifically [[Fell's Point]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Reaping (audio story)}}; [[PROSE]]: {{cs|When It Was Fun (short story)}}; [[TV]]: {{cs|Vengeance on Varos (TotT TV story)}}) where she lived at [[256 East Lombard Street]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|When It Was Fun (short story)}}) According to other accounts, she came from [[New York City]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Twin Dilemma (novelisation)}}, {{cs|Revelation of the Daleks (novelisation)}}; [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Authentic Experience (audio story)}}) [[Pasadena]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Synthespians™ (novel)}}, {{cs|Something Borrowed (short story)}}) or [[New England]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Mark of the Rani (novelisation)}}; [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|...ish (audio story)}}) specifically [[Boston]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The More Things Change (short story)}})
 
Peri was raised as a [[Baptist]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Council of Nicaea (audio story)}}) and made to attend [[church]] every week, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ruins of Heaven (short story)}}) but she would later consider herself not to be [[religion|religious]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Council of Nicaea (audio story)}}) She travelled the world with her parents due to their careers ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blue Box (novel)}}) and went to [[Manhattan]] every [[Thanksgiving]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Paradise 5 (audio story)}}) She enjoyed a comfortable life thanks to her parents' wealth, but she was only truly happy amongst nature and was fascinated with [[botany]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Synthespians™ (novel)}}) She was best friends with [[Katherine Chambers|Kathy Chambers]], whose brother [[Nathaniel Chambers|Nate]] she fancied. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Reaping (audio story)}})
 
Janine once took Peri to the [[Boston Botanical Centre]] when she was eleven ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Superior Beings (novel)}}) and she once visited [[Kew Gardens]] and [[Wembley Stadium]] where she saw [[AC/DC]] and [[the Who]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Church of Football (short story)}}) although she would later tell the [[Sixth Doctor]] that she had never visited [[London]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}}) She also visited [[Bath Abbey]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Superior Beings (novel)}}) [[Las Vegas]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Something Borrowed (short story)}}) and [[France]], where she walked in the [[garden]]s of a [[chateau]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Breaking Bubbles (audio story)}})
 
As a girl, Peri read the [[comic book]] ''[[Swamp Thing]]'' ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Players (novel)}}) and read about the [[Philadelphia Experiment]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Macros (audio story)}}) Her father took her out hunting and they had a [[dog]] called [[Whiskey (Peri and the Piscon Paradox)|Whiskey]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}) She had the opportunity to take [[horse]]-riding lessons, but chose not to ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Church and the Crown (audio story)}}) and later remarked that she never had time. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Leviathan (audio story)}}) Whilst living in Baltimore, she would sometimes go to the [[graveyard]] and read inscriptions upon the [[tombstone]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Emissary of the Daleks (audio story)}})
 
=== Teenage years ===
Paul taught Peri how to use a [[gun]], although she did not like handling them ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (novelisation)}}) and was not confident in her ability to use them. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}}) When she was thirteen, her father died in a boating accident. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Synthespians™ (novel)}}) Janine married [[Howard Foster|Professor Howard Foster]], another archaeologist, who already had two children. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Shell Shock (novel)}}) Peri believed that Janine married Howard too soon after Paul's death. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Reaping (audio story)}}) According to some accounts, Howard sexually abused Peri and made her keep it a secret from Janine. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Synthespians™ (novel)}}, {{cs|Shell Shock (novel)}})
 
In [[high school]], Peri was a straight A student ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Trouble in Paradise (audio story)}}) and popular amongst her peers whilst [[Kathy Chambers|Kathy]] was her "geeky friend". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Reaping (audio story)}}) She studied [[Christopher Columbus]], whose actions she was disgusted by, in great detail ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Trouble in Paradise (audio story)}}) and learnt [[Great Britain|British]] history, covering [[Henry VIII]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Recorded Time (audio story)}}) She was top of her class in botany and dreamed about discovering a new plant species or having a flower named after her. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Paradise 5 (audio story)}})
 
In addition to [[Katherine Chambers|Kathy]], Peri was friends with [[Eunice (The Reaping)|Eunice]], [[Paula (The Reaping)|Paula]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Reaping (audio story)}}) and [[Candy Tyler]], whom she once pushed into the path of a boy to prevent him from asking her to [[prom]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Veiled Leopard (audio story)}}) Candy never forgave her. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Reaping (audio story)}}) She attended prom and would later look back unfavourably on the boys she had had to choose from for her date. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Trials of a Time Lord (audio story)}}) Peri and some of her friends once drove across the plains of [[Arizona]]. She would later remember how clearly she was able to see the [[star]]s that night, a view which was not surpassed until her travels with the [[Sixth Doctor]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Shadows of Serenity (audio story)}})


The Doctor once pointed out that, in [[Persian]] mythology, a [[peri (mythological creature)|peri]] was a kind of [[fairy]] who started off evil before turning good. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma]]'') As a girl, Peri used to read the [[comic book]] ''[[Swamp Thing]]''. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Players (novel)|Players]]'').
Peri's first boyfriend was [[George Stewart]], whom she nicknamed "[[Curious George]]" and who crashed the car on their way to their first date because he was distracted by her legs. When she was sixteen, she was dumped by "a real creep" and was upset until [[Peri Brown's grandmother|her grandmother]] called her and told her to pull herself together. She started dating [[Davey Silverman]], who never left her alone for the first three months of their relationship and was nervous when she once used the [[subway]], something that she interpreted as him being overprotective. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}})  


When Peri was thirteen, Paul Brown died in a boating accident. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Synthespians™]]'') Janine married Professor [[Howard Foster]], who already had two children. One account claimed Foster abused Peri sexually and Janine never forgave him. ([[TN]]: ''[[Shell Shock]]'')
Peri and [[Nathaniel Chambers|Nate]] both disliked their names, which they thought were stupid, and agreed that they would one day get them changed. Peri knew that Nate was attracted to her, something that Kathy was also aware of and found weird on account of her and Peri being best friends. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Reaping (audio story)}}) In her [[gap year]], she read ''[[À la recherche du temps perdu]]'' and believed that [[Marcel Proust]] could have benefitted from a better editor. She also read ''[[Black Orchid (book)|Black Orchid]]'' ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Year of the Pig (audio story)}}) and did a fair amount of serving drinks in [[café]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Paradise 5 (audio story)}})


This account was hard to square against others. One said Janine and Howard later split because Howard didn't respect her professionally. ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Gathering (audio story)|The Gathering]]'') Had abuse of Peri been a genuine issue, it surely would have been the proximate cause of the divorce. Another account said that Peri suffered sexual abuse as a young woman, but that the "abused Peri" was a version that had been mind-wiped by the [[Time Lord]]s to remember only her first adventure with the [[Fifth Doctor]] and [[Turlough]]. This Peri returned to [[America]] and married her high school sweetheart — who beat her brutally. ([[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'') Had she been abused by Howard at an earlier point in her life, she would surely have mentioned it when giving her account of this later, similar act of violence.
=== College ===
Peri began studying [[Botany]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mysterious Planet (TV story)}}) at [[college]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of Fire (TV story)}}) in [[1983]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Mind's Eye (audio story)}}, {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}) whilst maintaining an interest in archaeology thanks to her parents and Howard. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blue Box (novel)}}) Accounts differed on whether she attended [[Boston University]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Burning Heart (novel)}}) [[University of California, Berkeley|Berkeley]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Synthespians™ (novel)}}) or [[California State]].  


She had an aunt named Mona who was still alive in [[2009]]. Mona lived in a trailer park and collected golliwogs, which she ordered from [[England]]. She seemed to dress in a manner reminiscent of the [[Sixth Doctor]]. ([[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'')
[[File:Peri and Howard.jpg|thumb|left|Peri and [[Howard Foster|Howard]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Doctor: His Lives and Times}})]]
Peri considered breaking up with [[Davey Silverman|Davey]] rather than have a long-distance relationship whilst she was at college and he punched a door when he realised this was the case. She ultimately decided to stay with him, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}) although she did date [[Chuck (Attack of the Cybermen)|Chuck]] for a time and found that he was unable to give simple answers to any question, always speaking in "[[jargonese]]". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (novelisation)}}) She would later remark that she had to deal with a number of "dumb jocks" in college. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Superior Beings (novel)}})


=== Adventures with the [[Fifth Doctor]] ===
On campus, Peri was a [[sport]]s star, enjoying playing [[tennis]], [[hockey]] and [[lacrosse]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (novelisation)}}) Whenever she passed the [[Zoology]] [[laboratory]] on campus, she was glad that she chose to study Botany instead as she did not know what was going on with the [[animal]]s inside. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Year of the Pig (audio story)}}) She shared a residence with other girls, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}) was friends with [[Sara (Burning Heart)|Sara]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Burning Heart (novel)}}) and knew a girl with an [[eating disorder]] who was referred to a [[counsellor]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Year of the Pig (audio story)}})
==== First meeting ====
Peri studied [[botany]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]''; [[BFA]]: ''[[The Mind's Eye]]'') and had an interest in [[archaeology]] fueled by her parents' passion for the subject. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Blue Box]]'') On a vacation to [[Lanzarote]] circa [[1984]], [[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]] saved her from drowning, and she subsequently met the [[Fifth Doctor|Doctor]]. The shape-shifting [[android]] [[Kamelion]], controlled by [[The Master (Tremas)|the Master]] at the time, assumed the form of Peri's step-father, Professor [[Howard Foster]] and later that of the Master himself,, He then seized control of the [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] to take her to the [[planet]] [[Sarn]] to meet the real Master. After the destruction of Kamelion and the defeat of the Master, Turlough returned to his homeworld, [[Trion (planet)|Trion]], and Peri joined the Doctor on his travels. ([[DW]]: ''[[Planet of Fire]]'')


==== After Lanzarote ====
Peri had a young cousin named [[Pete (The Song of Megaptera)|Pete]] who had just started learning how to walk ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Song of Megaptera (audio story)}}) by the time she went on holiday to [[Lanzarote]] in [[1984]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of Fire (TV story)}}) She carried a [[photograph]] of Pete around with her and fondly remembered how he [[laughing|laughed]] when he [[burping|burped]] and burped when he laughed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Song of Megaptera (audio story)}})
{{section stub}}Immediately after the events on Lanzarote, the Doctor took Peri to [[Astroville Seven]], a [[31st century]] space station where she saw many different alien races and got a taste of what travelling in the TARDIS was like. While on the station, they got caught up in an epic quest for the legendary treasure of [[Rovan Cartovall]]. ([[PDA]]: ''[[The Ultimate Treasure]]'') She met [[Ice Warrior]]s on [[Mars]], ([[BFA]]: ''[[Red Dawn]]'') helped a group of [[human]] colonists beset by the carnivorous [[Farakosh]] ([[BFA]]: ''[[Exotron (audio story)|Exotron]]'') and pretended to be a waitress in an alien restaurant to figure out why three different gourmets wanted to kill the Doctor ([[BFA]]: ''[[Urban Myths]]''). The pair also ran into [[the Master (Tremas)|the Master]] in [[1880s]] [[California]], ([[ST]]: ''[[A Town Called Eternity]]'') met an [[Essex]] priest who was hiding radioactive alien bodies in his church crypt in [[1953]] ([[ST]]: ''[[The Canvey Angels]]'') and met [[the Brigadier]] before encountering a race known as the [[Arix]], who lived their lives in the span of one [[Earth]] day. ([[ST]]: ''[[A Life in the Day]]'')
 
=== Adventures with the Fifth Doctor ===
==== Joining the Doctor ====
{{Section stub|Further info from ''[[Planet of Fire (TV story)|Planet of Fire]]'' and ''[[The Reaping (audio story)|The Reaping]]'' needs to be added}}
[[File:Turlough doctor goodbye.jpg|thumb|right|Peri and the Doctor saying goodbye to [[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of Fire (TV story)}})]]
In [[Lanzarote]] on [[9 May]] 1984, Peri met two [[England|Englishmen]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Reaping (audio story)}}) and decided to go with them to [[Morocco]] before returning to college in the autumn, cashing in her return ticket to [[New York]]. However, Howard stopped her from making it to the airport on time by stranding her on a boat.
 
Peri was saved by [[Vislor Turlough]] from drowning and was taken by him into [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] where she met the [[Fifth Doctor]] and [[Kamelion]], who assumed Howard's form and, later, {{Ainley}}'s. Kamelion seized control of the TARDIS and took Peri to [[Sarn (planet)|Sarn]] where she met the real Master. Following his defeat and Turlough's return to [[Trion (planet)|Trion]] with [[Malkon|his brother]], Peri joined the Doctor on his travels with the intention of returning to finish her degree. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of Fire (TV story)}})
 
==== Early adventures ====
{{Section stub|Info from ''[[The Meaning of Red (audio story)|The Meaning of Red]]'' and further info from ''[[Light at the End of the Tunnel (short story)|Light at the End of the Tunnel]]'', ''[[Black and White (short story)|Black and White]]'', ''[[The Ultimate Treasure (novel)|The Ultimate Treasure]]'', ''[[Hot Ice (short story)|Hot Ice]]'', ''[[Red Dawn (audio story)|Red Dawn]]'', ''[[A Town Called Eternity (short story)|A Town Called Eternity]]'', ''[[The Church of Football (short story)|The Church of Football]]'', ''[[Leap Second (short story)|Leap Second]]'' and ''[[Superior Beings (novel)|Superior Beings]]'' needs to be added}}
When the Doctor received a summons and materialised [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] in [[12th century]] [[England]], he decided that it was not the right place for Peri's adventures in [[time]] and [[space]] begin and told her to wait inside whilst he answered the call. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Five Card Draw (short story)}})
 
On [[N'Tia]], Peri began to regret joining the Doctor but decided that she had made the right choice upon seeing the planet's beauty. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Light at the End of the Tunnel (short story)}})
 
To recover from her experiences with the [[N'Tian]]s, the Doctor took her shopping in [[London]] where they watched ''[[Les Misérables]]''. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black and White (short story)}})
 
The Doctor took Peri to [[Astroville Seven]] in the [[31st century]] to help her acclimatise to being amongst various species of aliens and, wanting to choose [[clothes]] for herself rather than be limited to what was in the [[TARDIS wardrobe]], she went shopping. They became caught up in a quest for the legendary treasure of [[Rovan Cartovall]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ultimate Treasure (novel)}})
 
On [[Earth]], she watched [[Len Skeggs]] die after stealing the [[Eye of Gaar]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Hot Ice (short story)}})
 
[[File:Fifth and Peri Red Dawn.jpg|thumb|left|Peri and the Doctor on Mars. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Red Dawn (audio story)}})]]
On [[Mars]] in the [[2000s]], Peri and the Doctor encountered the [[Ice Warrior]]s and met the crew of the ''[[Argosy]]''. When the ''Argosy'' crash-landed, Peri went with [[Paul Webster|Paul]] and [[Tanya Webster]] to [[Izdaal]]'s tomb. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Red Dawn (audio story)}})
 
A week into her adventures, she once again met the Master, this time in [[1880s]] [[California]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Town Called Eternity (short story)}})
 
A week later, the Doctor took her to watch a [[football]] game and she encountered [[Edward Grainger]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Church of Football (short story)}}) before going to [[2099]] [[Prague]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Leap Second (short story)}})
 
She later met the [[Valethske]] and narrowly avoided becoming a meal. Despite understanding how she felt, the Doctor disapproved of the visceral hatred she developed for [[Veek]]'s people. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Superior Beings (novel)}})

After travelling alone with [[fifth Doctor|the Doctor]], they met [[Erimen]] a princess of ancient [[Egypt]], who joined them in the TARDIS. ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Eye of the Scorpion]]'') Peri grew exceptionally close to Erimem and hoped her feelings for Erimem were like those one had for a sister. ([[TN]]: ''[[Blood and Hope]]'') After Erimem chose to remain on [[Peladon|Peladon]], the Doctor and she continued on alone. ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Bride of Peladon]]'')
After travelling alone with the Doctor, they met [[Erimem]], a princess of ancient [[Egypt]], who joined them in the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Eye of the Scorpion (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor intended to drop Erimem off on the [[Braxiatel Collection]] so that she could have an education. Instead, they arrived in [[17th century]] [[Paris]]. There, Peri was kidnapped by the [[George Villiers|Duke of Buckingham]], who believed that she was [[Anne (Queen of France)|Queen Anne]] (a look-alike of Peri). After this adventure, the Doctor invited Erimem to join them travelling in the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Church and the Crown (audio story)}})
 
By this time, Peri had found one of [[Leela]]'s skins in the [[TARDIS wardrobe]] and considered wearing it on one occasion. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|No Place Like Home (audio story)}})
 
Peri grew exceptionally close to Erimem and hoped her feelings for Erimem were like those she had for a sister. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blood and Hope (novel)}}) She helped teach Erimem to read [[English language|English]].
 
The three battled [[Jarra To]] in the [[Axis]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Axis of Insanity (audio story)}}) defeated the [[Great Old One]]s in the [[Himalayas]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Roof of the World (audio story)}}) and prevented the [[Khellian]]s from preying on a vulnerable Earth colony. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Three's a Crowd (audio story)}})
 
The trio next visited Nicaea in [[325]] AD, where they found themselves in the middle of a religious conflict. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Council of Nicaea (audio story)}})
 
Peri and Erimem were stranded in 15th century Earth when the TARDIS separated them from the Doctor, having to work as serving wenches. They were eventually reunited with the Doctor after coming into conflict with [[William Shakespeare]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Kingmaker (audio story)}})
 
As part of a scheme with his [[Seventh Doctor|seventh incarnation]], the Doctor left Peri and Erimem in [[Monte Carlo]] in [[1966]] to stop the theft of the [[Veiled Leopard]] at a party. They discovered the thief was [[Lillian Hawthorne]] and stopped her getting away, returning the jewel to its safe. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Veiled Leopard (audio story)}})
 
Later, Peri and Erimen corrected a change to the timeline caused by the Doctor's former [[companion]] [[Tegan Jovanka]]. The three women proceeded to go out and get drunk afterwards. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Graham Dilley Saves the World (short story)}})
 
In a hallucination induced by the plants of [[YT45]], [[Kyropite]], she believed that she had a boyfriend with a stepson, [[Kyle (The Mind's Eye)|Kyle]]. She had to deal with Kyle's unruly behaviour. She was eventually found being ingested by the plants. Inside the dream her stepson caught [[Meningitis]], this corresponded to her health deteriorating in the real world. As it got worse she imagined her partner cheating on her and then she was run over by a car. [[Takol]] wanted her to die for his experiment. She didn't recognise the Doctor when he went into her dream. As her dream became a bad drama, the Doctor asked her to choose. As she awoke the plant removed itself from her. Both Erimem and the Doctor took her back to the TARDIS to escape. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Mind's Eye (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor, Peri and Erimem visited [[Peladon]] after answering a distress call from the Ice Warrior prince and ambassador [[Zixlyr]] in the [[41st century]]. [[Pelleas|King Pelleas]] proposed to Erimem, and she accepted, parting with Peri and the Doctor to stay to rule Peladon. The Doctor and Peri departed for the TARDIS, still in orbit around Peladon with the help of [[Alpha Centauri (The Curse of Peladon)|Alpha Centauri]]'s ship. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Bride of Peladon (audio story)}})

Soon after Erimem's departure, Peri and the Doctor went to the planet [[Grallista Social]] for a spot of relaxation but found themselves in the midst of a [[virus|viral]] decontamination effort by the [[Viyran]]s. She was infected with a virus which turned anyone she came into contact with. The Viyrans were getting her to remember each time this happened, first with the Doctor, then with [[Chris (Mission of the Viyrans)|Chris]] and finally [[Lawrence (Mission of the Viyrans)|Lawrence]] as a way to remove her memories as part of the cure. Her memory wouldn't be erased as easily so the Viyran wanted to kill her. She realised that her memory was returning as her memory was trying to work out what had happened and why it was happening. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Mission of the Viyrans (audio story)}})
 
Peri and the Doctor went to the village of [[Sair]] during the [[Middle Ages]], where a young man named [[Tablibik]] used a form of [[magic]] to make her fall in love with him. The Doctor swiftly broke his spell. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Fascination (short story)}})
 
After Peri was badly injured, the Doctor took her to [[Karn]] where she was kidnapped by [[Morbius]]. However, she was able to trick him into putting her into an [[escape pod]] and escaped to [[Sylvana]] where she became a guerrilla leader against his regime. She eventually rejoined the Doctor after he became the general of an army of [[Draconian]]s, [[Sontaran]]s, [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] and [[Ice Warrior]]s against Morbius. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Warmonger (novel)}})
 
Peri was intentionally separated from the Doctor on an unnamed world. During this separation, the Doctor travelled briefly with a [[tracer]] named [[Abby (The Judgement of Isskar)|Amy]] whom he helped find the [[Key to Time]]. Peri was reunited with the Doctor after his second attempt at finding the Key to Time concluded. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Judgement of Isskar (audio story)}}, {{cs|The Chaos Pool (audio story)}})
 
The two met an [[Essex]] priest who was hiding alien bodies in his church crypt in [[1953]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Canvey Angels (short story)}})
 
Peri was, for a time, separated from the Doctor on a [[World War I]] battlefield in [[1914]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Never Seen Cairo (short story)}})
 
The two met [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] before encountering the [[Arix (species)|Arix]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Life in the Day (short story)}})
 
Peri helped the Doctor save a group of [[human]] colonists beset by the carnivorous [[Farakosh]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Exotron (audio story)}})
 
Peri pretended to be a waitress in an alien restaurant to figure out why three different gourmets wanted to kill the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Urban Myths (audio story)}})
 
Peri helped the Doctor stop the [[Valtor (species)|Valtor]] from invading [[Beadledom 3]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Rulebook (audio story)}})
 
Arriving in [[Los Angeles]] in [[2009]] to stop [[Zarl]] from selling Earth's [[water]] to his fellow [[Piscon]]s, Peri met a future version of herself who, unbeknownst to her, only remembered her first adventure with the Doctor. She was disgusted by her future self when she apparently killed Zarl and [[Carburetor]] and greatly upset upon learning that her future self had lied about having children, which she wanted more than anything. She decided that she would stay with [[Davey Silverman]] when her travels came to an end and wondered about how her relationship with the Doctor, who decided to take her to [[Androzani Minor]], would change given what he had seen her future self do. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}})
 
Whilst exploring Androzani Minor, Peri and the Doctor contracted [[spectrox toxaemia]] and became caught in the conflict over spectrox between [[Androzani Major]] government forces and [[Sharaz Jek]]'s insurgency. They were arrested by government forces and sentenced to execution, but they were abducted by Jek, who was attracted to Peri. They escaped with the aid of fellow prisoner [[Salateen]], however the Doctor became separated from them. Salateen took her back to the soldiers, however she was abducted by Jek again. She began to die from the disease and the Doctor gave her the single dose of bat's milk he was able to acquire before [[regeneration|regenerating]] into [[Sixth Doctor|a new incarnation]], to her astonishment. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Caves of Androzani (TV story)}})
 
=== Adventures with the Sixth Doctor ===
==== The new Doctor ====
Peri was disturbed by the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s behaviour following his [[regeneration]] and terrified after he attempted to [[strangulation|strangle]] her, leading him to decide to repent for his actions as a [[hermit]] on [[Titan III]] before they found the wounded [[Hugo Lang]] and learnt of the kidnapping of [[Romulus Sylvest|Romulus]] and [[Remus Sylvest]]. Joined by Hugo, they followed [[Azmael]] and the Sylvests to [[Jaconda]] where they were captured by [[Mestor]], whom the Doctor and Azmael killed. Peri tried to get the Doctor to stay to help the [[Jacondan]]s and admonished him for being rude to Hugo when they parted, but he asked her to get to wait before condemning his new persona. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Twin Dilemma (TV story)}})
 
Peri wanted to return home, but decided to acquiesce to the Doctor's request and get to know him. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Twin Dilemma (novelisation)}}) He called Peri by the names of various former [[companion]]s of his, as well as [[Terrible Zodin|Zodin]], in the days following Jaconda ([[TV]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}}) and, according to one account, they spent a week frozen inside of a [[glacier]] on [[Vespod Eight]]. Otherwise, Peri spent her time studying in case she returned to college and demanded that she and the Doctor discuss terms for her remaining on the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (novelisation)}})
 
[[File:Delight.jpg|thumb|left|Peri and the Doctor stand outside [[76 Totter's Lane]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}})]]
After picking up [[Gustave Lytton]]'s [[distress call]] in [[1985]], Peri and the Doctor descended into [[London]]'s [[sewer]]s and encountered [[CyberNeomorph|Cybermen]] who infiltrated the TARDIS and forced the Doctor to take them, Lytton and [[Charles Griffiths]] to [[Telos]]. There, Peri was saved from a deranged Cyberman by [[Rost]] and [[Varne]], from whom she learnt of the Cybermen's plan to destroy Earth and who wanted her to destroy the TARDIS to prevent this, and was eventually reunited with the Doctor. She told the Doctor that Lytton was working with the [[Cryon]]s, but they were too late to save him and they left Telos before [[Cyber-Control (Telos)|Cyber-Control]] was destroyed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}})
 
The Doctor kept making attempts to repair the TARDIS's [[chameleon circuit]], causing it to switch between various shapes before returning to the form of a [[police box]]. It was then that Peri demanded that he stop. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Quick Change (comic story)}}) He had a number of accidents in the TARDIS, including burning dinner despite promising a cold supper, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Vengeance on Varos (TV story)}}) and Peri thought more and more about returning to college. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Vengeance on Varos (novelisation)}})
 
When the TARDIS's trans-power system failed, Peri and the Doctor travelled to [[23rd century]] [[Varos]] on emergency power to acquire [[Zeiton-7]] and saved [[Jondar]] from [[execution]] in the [[Punishment Dome]], only for Peri to be captured and taken to [[Governor of Varos (Vengeance on Varos)|the Governor]], the [[Chief Officer]] and [[Sil]]. She was accused of being a [[spy]] for [[Amorb]] and taken by [[Quillam]] for his cell mutation experiments, which began turning her into a [[bird]] hybrid, but the Doctor saved her and, after being recaptured and escaping with the Governor and [[Maldak]], Sil was defeated. With a supply of Zeiton-7, Peri and the Doctor left to continue their travels. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Vengeance on Varos (TV story)}})
 
Peri stayed in [[Peri Brown's TARDIS bedroom|her bedroom]] reading [[Jeffrey Archer]] after leaving Varos because she was tired of being shouted at, but the Doctor barged in after detecting something following them through the [[Time Vortex]]. She realised that the object was sending signals which they followed to the [[Overseer (Telling Tales)|Overseers]], whom they learnt had been interfering with reality to make the Doctor's adventures more interesting for them to sell as entertainment. The Doctor was ultimately powerless to stop them from doing so. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Telling Tales (short story)}})
 
Whilst [[scuba-diving]], Peri became separated from the Doctor and was found by [[the Memory]], which fed on her sense of self as well as her body and which she refused to give into. She accessed its mind and used it to create a woman whom she sent to find the Doctor, but she had been reduced to a disembodied [[brain]] by the time he found her and he had to use his connection to the Memory to put her mind back together and create a duplicate body. Her new body was exactly the same as her original, although it was initially hairless. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Shell Shock (novel)}})
 
Running in the new Zeiton-7 landed the Doctor and Peri in [[Dorsill]] where Peri saw [[Edward Baddesley]] dig up [[Bill Neville]]'s corpse, which he demonstrated when confronted by the Doctor was to inspect it as there had not been a [[post-mortem]]. The corpse came to life before they could return it to its [[grave]] and the Doctor and Edward went after it whilst Peri waited in the pub because of a cold, learning from [[Janet Spillsbury]] that [[Christopher Sheldon]] had been working on a [[DNA]] [[computer]]. Realising that [[Denarian|alien DNA]] had been used as part of an [[Ministry of Defence|MoD]] experiment, the Doctor ensured that everybody got the [[antidote]], including Peri after she was infected. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Grave Matter (novel)}})
 
The Doctor took Peri to Earth tens of thousands of years into her future to acquire a six-dimensional anomaly to recalibrate the TARDIS and repair some of the damage he had done to it. Peri was caught by [[Monitor (Moon Graffiti)|Monitors]] looking for [[Kimo Ani]] after picking up the [[Wibliwee]]'s ship and put in [[suspended animation]] with the rest of humanity, but the Doctor and Kimo Ani saved her. After the Doctor used the Wibliwee's ship to repair part of the TARDIS, Peri checked that the [[TARDIS kitchen|kitchens]] were in working order once again. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Moon Graffiti (short story)}})
 
Before the TARDIS materialised on [[Reef Station One]], Peri's mind was touched by the [[Nestene Consciousness]] and she had a [[vision]] of [[Shub-Niggurath]] sending her children out to [[colonisation|colonise]] the universe. She befriended [[Claudia Bruderbakker]] and helped investigate after [[Charles Bruderbakker|her father]] was killed by [[Joan Bruderbakker|her step-mother]], keeping [[Walter J. Matheson]] busy as the Doctor and Claudia looked into [[Skin Deep]] and discovered the involvement of the [[Auton]]s. Matheson subjected Peri and Claudia to the Skin Deep process, but the Doctor saved them and, after the Nestenes' defeat, Peri declined Claudia's offer to give up her life of adventure and stay with her and [[Marcus Brooks]], whom she considered a "ready-made" boyfriend, in the [[101st century]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Synthespians™ (novel)}})
 
Peri asked the Doctor to take her to [[Rome]] to see the [[Colosseum]] where they noticed a [[gladiator]] carrying a [[digital watch]], leading them to follow [[chronon energy radiation]] through time and to find various other [[anachronism]]s. After six days, they arrived at [[Dotty's]] in [[New York City]] where they met the [[amnesia]]c [[Jacob (Not Forgotten)|Jacob]], whom they learnt had been travelling through time on a [[gap year]] using a [[BackPack]] and had saved the life of [[Dorothy (Not Forgotten)|Dorothy]] in [[1897]], changing his own timeline and causing him to start fading out of existence. He chose to let himself disappear than stop himself saving Dorothy, but Peri was delighted to learn from [[Mary (Not Forgotten)|Mary]] that Dorothy had never forgotten him. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Not Forgotten (audio story)}})
 
Peri was considering leaving the TARDIS because of how emotionally inaccessible the Doctor had been since his regeneration when they landed on [[Eldair]] and found [[House (House)|House]] killing the sole survivors of a [[nuclear war]]. She and the Doctor tried and failed to convince [[Carl (House)|Carl]] and [[Roger (House)|Roger]] to leave with them, forcing them to leave them behind. Afterwards, the Doctor told Peri that her bedroom had once belonged to [[Susan Foreman]] and, reflecting on his words on home, she decided to stay and thanked him for the room. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|House (short story)}})


==== After Peladon ====
Whilst looking through the Doctor's pockets for a [[pen]], Peri found a note he had written to remind himself to remove the body of a [[vampire]]-like creature from a [[Holiday Opportunity Promotions]] [[timeshare]] in [[North Devon]] in [[1920]] and shut it down. He ignored Peri's reading of the coordinates, so they instead arrived in [[1929]] and caused a potential temporal disaster by putting [[money]] in the [[timeshare meter]] when [[Godfrey Richardson|Godfrey]] and [[Camilla Richardson]] had already done so. After [[Time Lord (Timeshare)|a Time Lord]] explained the Doctor's note to him, he went back to remove the body and he and Peri used up two weeks' time in the course of a week to resolve the temporal issues. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timeshare (VD short story)}})
{{section stub}} Soon after Erimem's departure, Peri and the Doctor went to the planet [[Grallista Social]] for a spot of relaxation, but found themselves in the midst of a [[virus|viral]] decontamination effort by the [[Viyran]]s. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Mission of the Viyrans]]'') Soon after this, Peri was intentionally separated from the Doctor on an unnamed world. During this separation, the Doctor travelled briefly with a [[Tracer]] named [[Amy (Key 2 Time)|Amy]] who helped him find the [[Key to Time]]. Peri likely reunited with the Doctor soon after his second attempt at finding the Key to Time concluded. ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Judgement of Isskar]]'', ''[[The Chaos Pool]]'') Around this time, Peri and the Doctor went to the village of [[Sair]] during the [[Middle Ages]], where a young man named [[Tabilibik]] used a form of [[magic]] to make her fall in love with him. The Doctor swiftly broke his spell, though. ([[VD]]: ''[[Fascination]]'')


=== Adventures with the [[Sixth Doctor]] ===
Peri left the TARDIS in a rush after having an argument with the Doctor and was admonished by the natives and the voice of [[Monitor (See No Evil)|the Monitor]] for how revealing her shorts and top were. She became aware that her vision was being censored and managed to escape the police and a murderer who was [[invisibility|invisible]] thanks to his religious costume by [[praying]], hiding her from their sight to avoid offence. After the Doctor muted the Monitor to free everybody from her control, Peri returned with him to the TARDIS despite her expecting that they would have to stay and overthrow the government. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|See No Evil (short story)}})
After contracting [[spectrox toxaemia]] and then getting accidentally involved in local politics on the [[twin planet]]s of [[Androzani Major]] and [[Androzani Minor|Minor]], Peri was abducted by [[Sharaz Jek]]. Upon her escape she began to die from the disease. The Doctor saved her but, not having enough [[bat's milk]], an antidote, to save himself, regenerated into a very different, new and unstable persona ([[DW]]: ''[[The Caves of Androzani]]'').


Peri immediately cahallenged him to prove he was still the Doctor. He got her to believe it was still him despite his new face and personality. Despite having stabilised physically, he suffered initial personality and mental issues which caused him lapse into extreme paranoia. He tried to strangle Peri. He decided to exile himself on [[Titan III]] as punishment until he had attained appropriate humility, but soon got involved with stopping [[Mestor]] and his [[gastropod]]s. On Titan III, he met another [[Time Lord]], his old friend [[Azmael]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma]]'')
Offended by the Doctor's response to her culture shock on [[Dramos (asteroid)|Dramos]] in [[3174]], Peri left him to explore [[the Habitat]] on her own and was welcomed into [[Human First]]'s inner circle, [[White Fire]], after attending a rally which was broken up by the [[Guild of Adjudicators|Adjudicators]]. She was given weapons training and ordered by [[Draker]] to kill [[Darbokian]]s during a riot, after which she learnt from [[Kane (Burning Heart)|Kane]] that White Fire supported the extermination of all non-humans and almost shot [[Avron Jelks]] because of her discomfort at what his group had made her realise about herself. Following the deaths of Jelks and [[Garon]], Peri and the Doctor left, although Peri had hoped that Kane could have joined them. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Burning Heart (novel)}})


The Doctor and Peri worked to stop the Cybermen from trying to destroy Earth with Halley's comet and save Mondas, which was destroyed by the [[First Doctor]], and keep the Web of Time from being damaged by their carelessness. ([[DW]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen]]'')
Peri asked the Doctor to take her to [[Kew Gardens]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Mark of the Rani (novelisation)}}) but [[Tremas Master|the Master]]'s [[time distortion]] caused them to land in [[19th century]] [[Killingworth]] where they became aware of the violence caused by the [[First Rani]]'s mission to restore calm to [[Miasimia Goria]]. Peri saved the Doctor after he was captured by the Master and the Rani and collected [[herb]]s with [[Luke Ward]] to make a [[sleeping draught]] to [[sedation|sedate]] the [[Luddite]]s, a task which led them to [[Redfern Dell]] where Luke was turned into a [[tree]] by one of the Rani's [[land mine]]s. The sleeping draught was ultimately unnecessary thanks to the Doctor picking the Rani's [[phial]] from her pocket before she and the Master fled Earth. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mark of the Rani (TV story)}})


After the TARDIS ran out of [[Zeiton-7]], the Doctor landed on Varos for more to resupply the TARDIS. The society on Varos nearly forced him to participate in their deadly "games" when he attempted to free those trapped in the Punishment Dome. The Doctor and Peri stopped [[Sil]], the swindler behind the "games", and obtained Zeiton-7 for the TARDIS. ([[DW]]: ''[[Vengeance on Varos]]'')
After leaving Killingworth, Peri was arrested and tried for the murder of [[Mis'Kin Karac|Professor Mis'Kin Karac]] as a gun had been forced into her hands before the shooting. She was represented at [[trial]] by the Doctor, who realised that [[Mis'Kin Karac's assistant|Karac's assistant]] was responsible and deceived him into confessing to the murder at [[court]] by threatening him with the actual murder weapon. As a result, Peri was released. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Forgotten (comic story)}})


Tracing a time distortion to 19th Century England, the Doctor and Peri found [[the Master]] and a female renegade Time Lord called [[the Rani]] working together for one of her monstrous experiments and for the Master's plan to accelerate Earth technology beyond its normal level. The Doctor sabotaged the Rani's TARDIS and had her and the Master thrown off into the Time Vortex. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Mark of the Rani]]'')
Peri and the Doctor travelled to [[1932]] [[New Orleans]] where the Doctor left Peri to eat at the [[Legendre Lounge]] whilst he continued to follow the signal of a crashed [[Mykosian Pod]]. She bonded with [[Cassandra Legendre]] over their complicated relationships with their stepfathers and was attacked by [[zombie]]s as she was thinking once more about leaving the TARDIS, prompting her to go after the Doctor and save him and [[Ledanois|Madame Ledanois]]. They learnt that Cassandra was being controlled by a [[Mykosian]] pendant which used her to turn people into zombies ahead of an invasion and returned it to the Mykosian pilot, whom Peri and the Doctor agreed to take home. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mardi Gras Massacre (short story)}})


[[File:In_Spain.jpg|thumb|The [[Sixth Doctor]], Peri, and [[Jamie McCrimmon]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Two Doctors]]'')]]
Attempting to make up for some of their recent rough journeys, the Doctor tried to take Peri to London in [[1899]], but they instead arrived in [[Africa]] during the [[Boer War]] where they narrowly saved [[Winston Churchill]] from an assassination attempt. After a brief stint in a Boer prison, they travelled to [[1936]] to make sure Churchill was safe, posing as the children of their 1899 selves, and Peri was briefly captured by [[Joachim von Ribbentrop]]. She was able to escape and uncover evidence of a conspiracy of high-ranking British citizens with Nazi sympathies, simultaneously preventing the would-be [[Edward VIII]] from dismissing the government so that he could marry [[Wallis Simpson]], which was part of a complex plan by the [[Player]]s to change history for the sake of it. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Players (novel)}})
When landing on [[Space Station Chimera]], the Doctor and Peri became involved with the [[Androgum]], [[Chessene of the Franzine Grig|Chessene]]. There they met the [[Second Doctor]] and [[Jamie McCrimmon]]. Together they foiled a [[Sontaran]] bid for [[time travel]] and that of Chessene, who wished to have the second Doctor for her consort. Peri grew close to Jamie, even kissing him before leaving paths. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Two Doctors]]'')


The Doctor and Peri accidentally went through a time corridor to arrive at [[Karfel]], where the sinister [[Megelen]] ruled. The Doctor stopped Megelen from mutating Peri into a form as hideous as his own and, with the help of new companion [[H.G. Wells]], sent the villain through the Timelash. ([[DW]]: ''[[Timelash]]'')
For Peri's [[birthday]], the Doctor took her to [[Las Vegas]] in [[1971]] to see [[Elvis Presley]] perform and promised her that her wish would be his command for the night. He left her before the performance, claiming that he was getting her any [[cocktail]], and returned with Presley's [[autograph]] after stopping the [[Mongarian]]s' plan to sell [[cloning|clones]] of him. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Priceless Junk (short story)}})


The Doctor and Peri went to the planet [[Necros]], where "Great Healer" was trying to kill him. The Great Healer was in fact [[Davros]], who had arranged for the Doctor to be killed at a funeral home. Davros was eventually taken to [[Skaro]] to have a trial by the [[Dalek Emperor]]. After the deaths seen on the planet, the Doctor promised to take Peri to ([[DW]]: ''[[Revelation of the Daleks]]'') [[Blackpool]]. ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Nightmare Fair (audio story)|The Nightmare Fair]]''/[[TME]]: ''[[The Nightmare Fair (novelisation)|The Nightmare Fair]]'')
[[File:In Spain.jpg|thumb|The Sixth Doctor, Peri and Jamie. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}})]]
Peri suggested that the Doctor get medical help after he felt a time slip in his subconscious and they went to [[Space Station Camera]] to see [[Joinson Dastari]], but the [[Sontaran]]s had attacked. With survivor [[Jamie McCrimmon]], they travelled to [[Seville]] to save the [[Second Doctor]] from Dastari and [[Chessene of the Franzine Grig|Chessene]], who transformed him temporarily into an [[Androgum]], but they were captured. Dastari freed Peri and the Second Doctor upon realising that he had made a mistake in augmenting Chessene and, with Peri's help, the Sixth Doctor tricked Chessene into trying to use the [[Kartz-Reimer module]], killing her. Because of their experiences with [[Shockeye o' the Quawncing Grig|Shockeye]], the Doctor decided that he and Peri would adopt a [[vegetarianism|vegetarian]] diet. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}})


=== After Blackpool ===
The Doctor tried to take Peri to see her family, but the TARDIS arrived in [[1981]] [[Washington DC]] where he became aware of the creation of the [[Savant (Blue Box)|Savant]] and got Peri and [[Bob Salmon]] to help steal it from [[Sarah Swan]]. She considered leaving the TARDIS because she was tired of being frightened, with the Doctor agreeing that she deserved a better life, only to change her mind and decide once and for all that she belonged at the Doctor's side. Following the defeat of Swan and the Savant, Peri and the Doctor said goodbye to [[Charles Peters]], who wrote the story of what happened as ''[[Blue Box]]'' with Peri's surname changed to Smith. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blue Box (novel)}})
During a travel to the [[Gogglebox]], the Doctor and Peri learned of the death of a man known to Peri as [[Anthony Chambers]]. They went to Earth in [[1984]] – where they met Peri’s mother Janine and her best friend [[Katherine Chambers]]. They also learned that the Cybermen were at work converting dead people. Anthony, now a Cyberman, rose from the grave and attacked them. The Doctor tricked the Cyber-Leader by taking him to [[Mondas]]. He left and found that Nate, Katherine’s brother, had been brutally attacked and paralyzed by Anthony. Peri, feeling the weight of all the deaths, decided to leave the Doctor after a teary goodbye. The Doctor returned to the Gogglebox and learned that there would be an explosion in Peri’s house that would claim the lives of her mother and another. The Doctor rushed back to Earth, but arrived too late. After a sad reunion, Peri returned to the TARDIS, now with no family left on Earth. ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Reaping]]'')


The Doctor and Peri arrived on a colossal spaceship and became separated after Peri fell through a ventilation shaft. The Doctor discovered that the ship’s computer was planning to cause the Big Bang and avert man’s creation into such a violent race. Before he could intervene, a Timelord drew him, Peri and his TARDIS away and informed him that this event was always destined to occur. Angry at almost averting the existence of the universe, he and Peri took off. When asked where they were going, the Doctor commented that he was going to find the biggest library he could and study up on his history. ([[BBCR]]: ''[[Slipback]]'')
Arriving on [[Belstar]] instead of [[Exar 3]], Peri and the Doctor were shot at by the [[Deban]]s and rendered unconscious by a [[moisture evaporator]], after which the Doctor was tasked by [[Ranon]] with recovering a [[blue rock]] from the [[Tower of Selsor]] to help them defeat the [[Siros]]. Peri joined him and found the trap door which led to the blue rock by touching a nugget of [[gold]] on the cave wall. Upon handing the rock to Ranon, they were permitted to leave. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Battle Planet (short story)}})


The Doctor and Peri visited a galactic fair and took part in a virtual immersion experience that played out as a fantasy. Peri became trapped, while the Doctor tried to convince her virtual self of the danger. An alien parasite using the name Mr. Darcy asked Peri to marry him, knowing that if she accepted, he’d be able to take over her mind. The Doctor intervened, but fell prey to Darcy who had planned on taking him over from the very start. Peri woke up in the immersion room and supplied the system administrator – Crompton – with her own story to feed into the fantasy before returning to help the Doctor and defeat Darcy. ([[BFA]]: ''[[A Most Excellent Match]]'')
[[Latham (Day of the Dragon)|Colonel Latham]] was burnt to death whilst Peri and the Doctor were in the next room and they found one of [[Qualar]]'s [[Scale (anatomy)|scale]]s in the [[cellar]] when [[Sarah (Day of the Dragon)|Sarah]] claimed that there were [[dragon]]s down there. They encountered Qualar as they headed to the TARDIS and the Doctor defeated him and his dragons by blowing up Latham's house with them inside whilst he, Peri, Sarah and [[Harper (Day of the Dragon)|Harper]] were safe in the ship. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Day of the Dragon (short story)}})


==== Temporarily leaving ====
Lost in the [[Fenlands]] in [[1066]], Peri and the Doctor were captured by [[Saxon]] rebels and brought before [[Hereward the Wake]], who let them go and whom the Doctor realised was the same person as [[Harold Godwinson]]. The Doctor stopped the [[Norman]]s from attacking by scaring them with a wind-up toy [[robot]] and he and Peri took their leave, with Peri wanting to know why the Doctor carried toy robots around in his pockets. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Real Hereward (short story)}})
Peri soon became homesick for [[1980s]] [[America]]. ([[ST]]: ''[[CHAOS (short story)|CHAOS]]'') She left the TARDIS to pursue a life in [[New York City]] in [[1985]], though she grew frustrated at her job as a skivvy there and soon quit before gratefully rejoining the Doctor and Frobisher. ([[DWM]]: ''[[Kane's Story]]'')
 
Peri and the Doctor visited [[Kyros]] following an invitation from [[Vama]] and informed him after they saw a creature die and turn bronze after eating some [[weed]]s. Whilst the Doctor spoke with him, Peri was attacked by [[Neltar]], who had become a robot and whom the Doctor stopped with a [[freeze gun]]. Accompanied by guards, Peri and the Doctor destroyed the [[comet]] by which the weeds had arrived on Kyros, killing the weeds as they had been transforming people into robots. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Deadly Weed (short story)}})
 
The TARDIS was pulled to [[Exclon]] by [[Vorton]]'s gravity control and Peri and the Doctor were imprisoned, with the Doctor being ordered to inform the [[Time Lord]]s that he had arranged a [[peace treaty]] with Exclon so that they could launch a surprise attack. They managed to get away, however, when the Exclons' [[spaceship]] attempted take-off and caused an [[earthquake]] before exploding. Peri fainted and the Doctor carried her back to the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Vorton's Revenge (short story)}})
 
The Doctor intended to take Peri to [[Palaran]] for a holiday, but the [[High Council]] overrode the TARDIS's controls and summoned it to [[Gallifrey]] where they gave the Doctor a mission whilst Peri slept inside. They were sent to [[Cambridge]] in [[1996]] to stop time from being manipulated and discovered that the Master was stranded on Earth and using [[Thomas (Time Savers)|Professor Thomas]] to build a [[time machine]] so that he could leave, but men from the [[Ipsilon Foundation]] went back in time and destroyed it. The Master escaped and Peri and the Doctor left for Palaran rather than return to Gallifrey. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Savers (short story)}})
 
After Peri complained about the TARDIS's unreliability, the Doctor took her to England in the late [[1970s]] so that he could acquire a [[screwdriver]] to continue his repairs and they heard about strange lights and sounds at the [[stone circle]] on [[King's Hill]]. They found that creatures from [[Valiark]] were hypnotising people as part of their plan to colonise Earth and defeated them by disturbing the [[electromagnetism]] of the stone circle protecting them, causing them to fade away and release the humans. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Mystery of the Rings (short story)}})
 
Peri and the Doctor traced a signal to [[Stan (£436)|Stan]]'s house and saved [[Maureen (£436)|Maureen]] from a [[decompression bomb]] left as part of a trap. They learnt from [[Mick (£436)|Mick]], whose [[taxi]] they hailed, of a series of killings committed by an [[Algernon (species)|Algernon]] stranded in Earth's [[sea]]s and investigated, with the Algernon ultimately being killed by Mick. Peri and the Doctor left him with an unpaid fare of £436, heading off to the approaching Algernon rescue ship to save them a wasted journey. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|£436 (short story)}})
 
Feeling homesick, Peri asked the Doctor to take her to Earth and they arrived on [[Broadway]] in [[New York City]]. She decided to withdraw [[money]] so that she could take the Doctor to a [[delicatessen]], but a man snatched her card from her and knocked the Doctor out when he went after him. Peri woke the Doctor up using [[lavender water]] as [[smelling salts]] and they returned to the TARDIS, unaware that a [[CHAOS droid]] had been put in his brain. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|CHAOS (short story)}})
 
Peri accompanied the Doctor to the [[christening]] of a future dictator whom he and several other [[incarnation]]s of himself intended to kill. She believed that it was wrong to kill the baby and that to do so would be unlike the Doctor, but they argued about it when he found himself unable to kill him despite disagreeing with her. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Categorical Imperative (short story)}})
 
The Doctor tracked down [[Saric Warder]] and gave chase when he gravely injured [[Sacha Mary Palmer]], whom Peri stayed with until she died. Peri then followed the Doctor and saw the bodies of people Saric had killed in a [[lift]], making her throw up and return to her bedroom in tears because of what she had seen as well as how she felt responsible for the Doctor's actions due to her role in his [[regeneration]]. The Doctor assured her that he was entirely responsible for both his actions and his regeneration and asked why she remained with him; she told him that it was because he was her friend. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Trapped! (ST short story)}})
 
The Doctor dropped Peri off at a botany symposium whilst he went to meet [[Willis (Davros)|Willis]] on [[planet (Davros)|a planet]] on the other side of the galaxy. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Davros (audio story)}})
 
The TARDIS became caught in a [[time corridor]] and arrived on [[Karfel]] where a reluctant Peri was given a tour by [[Brunner (Timelash)|Brunner]] and escaped an attempt to kidnap her to ensure the Doctor's cooperation with [[Tekker]]. She was captured by [[Sezon]] and [[Katz Makrif]] before a [[Morlox]] could kill her and convinced them that she was not a [[spy]] by naming [[Jo Grant]], whose picture Katz had, only to be captured once more and subject to an attempt by [[the Borad]] to mutate her into a suitable mate. [[H. G. Wells]] came to her rescue and the Doctor pushed the Borad into the [[Timelash]] when he declared his intention to kill her because of how revolted by him she was. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Timelash (TV story)}})
 
She was tasked with trying to get the locals to create a fortification on an island on [[Lindisfarne]], [[Northumberland]] on [[8 June]] [[793]]. She told [[Boyle (Escape from Holy Island)|Boyle]] that she was scared. She helped them{{Who}} smuggle the holy relics of the island, but didn't want to leave the Doctor in peril. She saw the Doctor being transmatted in [[Byron (The Exaltation)|Byron]]'s ship, being left in history. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Escape from Holy Island (audio story)|}}) She managed to follow the Doctor with Herbert using one of the dragons to get to [[Arunopal]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Firstborn (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor took Peri to the [[Hotel Palace Thermae]] in [[1913]] to enjoy a week of reading which was interrupted when [[Alphonse Chardalot]] pretended to drown so that they would save him, help him find [[Toby the Sapient Pig]] and so that he could get access to the TARDIS. He locked Peri in the [[hammam]] in attempt to kill her, but the Doctor saved her and they worked with [[Albertine]] to free Toby and [[Alice Bultitude]] from Chardalot, who forced them on a [[train]] to [[Brussels]]. Peri noticed that the dates in Chardalot's [[diary]] did not add up and the Doctor deduced that Chardalot was actually Toby's brother, after which the two siblings reconciled and Peri and the Doctor remained in 1913 long enough for the Doctor to finish ''[[À la recherche du temps perdu]]''. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Year of the Pig (audio story)}})
 
Learning of [[Arthur Stengos]]'s perpetual instatement, the Doctor took Peri to [[Necros]] where she mortally wounded [[Mutant (Revelation of the Daleks)|a mutated man]] who attacked him and was upset by how he [[forgiveness|forgave]] her before he died. They went to investigate the Great Healer that the man mentioned and, at her request, Peri was taken to meet [[Derek Johnson]], who was exterminated when the [[Imperial Dalek]]s attacked them. She was taken to [[Davros]] and the Doctor and asked to be taken somewhere fun after the [[Renegade Dalek]]s took Davros prisoner and his schemes were brought to an end. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)}}) According to one account, she and the Doctor remained on Necros at her request to help with the aftermath.

Peri and the Doctor took a guided tour of [[Heaven (The Ruins of Heaven)|Heaven]] on [[Sheol]], but Peri became exasperated when the Doctor took over the tour and wandered off to a [[market]] where she decided to get the Doctor's [[pocket watch]] repaired as a present. She fell to her death thanks to the ''[[putti]]'', who wanted her dead so that she could see [[Yy]] and convince him to close the [[Gates of Heaven]] and start a new Heaven which would not be overrun with commercialism. The ''putti'' restored her to life after she did so and she returned to the Doctor, handing over his watch which had mysteriously been repaired. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ruins of Heaven (short story)}})
 
The Doctor next took Peri shopping on [[Bryce's Asteroid]], but they found that the market had become the [[Lifemarket]] and was selling body parts and scientific equipment necessary to create life. Peri received a tour from [[the Grand Auctioneer]], who took her to meet with [[Carrington (A Star is Reborn)|Mr Carrington]] and see the reanimated [[corpse]]s of the [[band]] [[Military Hardware]]. They were reprogrammed by the Doctor to destroy the Lifemarket, however, as he had not realised that Military Hardware was the name of a band and believed that they were part of an invasion force. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Star is Reborn (short story)}})
 
Peri thought about leaving the Doctor and came across [[Peri Brown (The Reproductive System)|a child]] born from the TARDIS and [[Kamelion]] which had been siphoning [[artron energy]] from the ship and which looked to Peri and the Doctor like a younger version of themselves. She and the Doctor tried to raise it as it quickly grew up, but it was affected by Peri's thoughts of leaving the TARDIS and the Doctor instead erased any trace of himself from its mind so that it would take on Peri's form. They then left the new Peri at her [[college]] dorm to lead her life as though she were the real Peri, who decided to stay with the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Reproductive Cycle (short story)}})
 
After a visit to [[Zaurak Minor]], the TARDIS was pulled to the ''[[Vipod Mor (Slipback)|Vipod Mor]]'' by time experiments and Peri was soon separated from the Doctor when she fell down a [[ventilation shaft]] during a [[Maston (Slipback)|Maston]] attack. They tried to stop the [[computer (Slipback)|computer]]'s plan to go back in time and avert humanity's evolution into a violent race, but [[Time Lord (Slipback)|a member]] of the [[High Council]] stopped them as the computer's plan was part of established history and that its self-destruction was what caused the [[Big Bang]]. The Doctor then took Peri to find a [[library]] where he could read up on history and avoid similar things from happening again. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Slipback (audio story)}})
 
The TARDIS was drawn to [[Tuven III]] by [[The Master (The Creation of Camelot)|the Master]] using a [[localised spatial vortex]] and Peri and the Doctor were soon captured by the [[Fellowship of Quan]], whom the Master was leading. He forced the Doctor to help him open [[Quan]]'s tomb, threatening his and Peri's lives, but the Doctor exposed the Master and left him to the mercy of Quan and his Fellowship. Peri was shocked. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Fellowship of Quan (short story)}})
 
Peri and the Doctor investigated a [[Time Wake]] stretching from [[1986]] to [[1720]] and found android copies of every [[United Kingdom|British]] [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] from the period which the Doctor destroyed before removing the [[Primary Polarity Enhancer]] from the time machine responsible. Its pilot, [[Tasq]], revealed that he had intended to change time as part of his plan to escape 1986 and failed to pass through the Time Wake with Peri and the Doctor before it closed, killing him. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time Wake (short story)}})
 
The TARDIS was sent by the Time Lords to a [[castle]] [[Ketra VIII]] so that the Doctor would resolve a convergence of time. Peri watched the rooms and people change because of the phenomenon whilst the Doctor fetched the TARDIS and resolved the convergence, causing the scenes Peri had watched to replay and then disappear. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Interface (short story)}})
 
The Doctor took Peri to a beautiful city which impressed her until she learnt that it owed its existence to [[slave]]ry. At night, she and the Doctor visited the slaves and listened to how the people of the city were split into citizens and slaves at the age of ten and how they intended to revolt. Peri and the Doctor left before the rebellion began, with the Doctor telling Peri that he had seen civilisations like this numerous times. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Beauty and the Beast (short story)}})
 
Although the Doctor promised to take Peri to [[Edward VII]]'s coronation, the TARDIS landed in the countryside and they were taken by [[Robert Lawton]] to shelter at [[Watkins (Retribution)|Professor Watkins]]'s home. Watkins unwittingly freed [[Chintor]] from [[suspended animation]] in his [[casket]] and the Doctor told him, Peri and [[Emily Watkins]] to barricade themselves inside whilst he and Lawton dealt with the mothership coming for Chintor. Peri and Emily were forced to flee using a ladder made from [[bedsheet]]s and ran to the TARDIS where they were joined by the Doctor after he killed Chintor. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Retribution (short story)}})
 
In [[Charlie Turner]]'s house in [[1924]], Peri was captured by [[Davarrk]], who was using humans in an attempt to build the perfect body for himself. The Doctor saved her, however, and Davarrk managed to restore his body to how it was before he crashed on Earth, but at the cost of his life. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Davarrk's Experiment (short story)}})
 
Peri and the Doctor were called in by a [[20th century]] [[Chief Inspector (The Radio Waves)|Chief Inspector]] to investigate after people listening to the [[radio]] were hypnotised into standing outside the [[Palace of Westminster]] for an hour. They went with the police to the [[Post Office Tower]] where the Doctor confronted and defeated the Master, who had planned to use the radio waves to hypnotise people into massacring Parliament whilst [[Elizabeth II|the Queen]] was there. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Radio Waves (short story)}})
 
Whilst Peri and the Doctor were discussing time travel, they were contacted by [[God (mythology)|God]] and sent to replace the [[battery|batteries]] in the heart of the universe. Afterwards, they were returned to the TARDIS with no memory of their adventure and Peri interrupted the Doctor's reading to ask him a question about time, but she had forgotten what it was. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Power to the People (short story)}})
 
A power failure caused the TARDIS to materialise inside [[Ademus]]'s prison where it took the form of a [[mirror]] which Peri marked with [[lipstick]] to make sure that she and the Doctor could find it again. Rather than break the machine keeping Ademus prisoner, the Doctor used a sphere to siphon power from the machine to the TARDIS, allowing him and Peri to leave. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Hall of Mirrors (short story)}})
 
Peri accompanied the Doctor to [[Potomac]] some years before the [[2150s]] [[2150s Dalek invasion of Earth|Dalek invasion]] to collect plants, but they found [[Ma (The More Things Change)|a woman]] giving birth and the Doctor helped deliver [[Soldier (The More Things Change)|her son]]. They collected the plants fifteen years later and planted them another fifteen years in the future to give people hope. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The More Things Change (short story)}})
 
The Doctor refused to let Peri watch [[Cleopatra]]'s entry to [[Tarsus]] because she insisted on taking a [[camera]] and they became temporarily suspended in time when the TARDIS's link to the [[Eye of Harmony]] by [[Iam]], which misunderstood the [[First Rani]]'s order to copy the TARDIS and instead created an alternative [[Rome]]. Peri's traumatic memories of becoming a bird hybrid on [[Varos]] caused her to revert back to that form due to her destabilised [[morphic print]] and she enjoyed being able to fly. She helped [[Ptolemy]] and rescued him from the Rani, after which Iam moved Rome to [[Terra Nova]] and the restored Peri left with the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|State of Change (novel)}})
 
Peri was not enthusiastic about leaving the TARDIS to explore the [[Museum of Aural Antiquities]] based on the dusty corridor she saw on the [[TARDIS scanner|scanner]], but she went out with the Doctor and they were soon accused by [[Berkeley (Whispers of Terror)|Berkeley]] of killing [[Goff Fotherill]], whose death the Doctor decided they would help investigate. Peri and Berkeley sealed the museum to trap [[Visteen Krane]], who killed Fotherill to stop him altering recordings of his speeches for [[Beth Pernell]], but she later released him from a disc on which Pernell and [[Hans Stengard]] were torturing him. After Pernell's plan was thwarted and she fled the museum, Peri and the Doctor departed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Whispers of Terror (audio story)}})
 
After a visit to [[Paris]] on what Peri found out from [[Depardieu|Mademoiselle Depardieu]] was her birthday, the Doctor attempted to take her to the [[SS Magnificent|SS ''Magnificent'']], but the TARDIS landed on a nearby [[Sacronax Gleaming Travel Cruiser]] because of [[Quenning]]'s [[time manipulator]]. Peri noticed Quenning's resemblance to [[Howard Foster|Howard]], which the Doctor assured her was a coincidence, and they found themselves trapped in a [[time bubble]] until they stopped him from using time travel to cheat. The Doctor then took Peri to the SS ''Magnificent'' where he revealed why he took her there and gave her a [[crystal]] as a present, telling her that he was not all bad. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Prime Winner (audio story)}})
 
The [[Eleventh Doctor]] sent Peri and the Sixth Doctor to the ''[[Santa Maria (ship)|Santa Maria]]'' in [[1492]] to obtain an [[omniparadox]] for him to use to save the universe. Peri was disgusted by [[Christopher Columbus]] and fell off the ship whilst protesting against the Doctor's refusal to cure a crewmember of [[tuberculosis]], washing up on an island where she was captured by the [[Bovine Herd Leader]] to have her fat deposits used to power his [[time machine]]. The machine was accidentally destroyed the machine and Peri and the Doctor left with the omniparadox created by the death of the time-travelling Herd Leader. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Trouble in Paradise (audio story)}})
 
Peri and the Doctor saved a number of [[Stena]] refugees who were being hunted by the [[Haxeen]] and got them into the TARDIS. The Haxeen attacked the ship and the two travellers went over what they knew about them, with Peri's remark about how the information could help them "one bit" giving the Doctor the idea to flood the [[Time Vortex]] with a [[bit]]s which sated the Haxeen. They then headed off to find a new home for the Stena. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Virtually Indestructible (comic story)}})
 
Peri and the Doctor were joined for a time by [[Harry Sullivan]] and kept trying to return to [[20th century]] Earth, landing on a [[volcano|volcanic]] [[planet]] before being pulled to the [[United States of America|United States]] where [[Everett Marshall]] was attempting to alter time. One outcome had Peri and Harry stranded in the [[19th century]] following the Doctor's death, whilst others had the Doctor defeating Marshall.

[[The Toymaker]] pulled the TARDIS to [[Blackpool]] and, before going to investigate what brought them there, the Doctor made Peri go around the [[Blackpool Pleasure Beach|amusement park]] with him, an experience which she did not enjoy until they went on a [[roller coaster]] together. They became separated when the Doctor was captured by the Toymaker, but Peri, who teamed up with [[Kevin Stoney]], was captured herself after Kevin was replaced with an [[android]] duplicate tasked with leading her to the Toymaker's cells. There, fellow prisoner [[Mechanic (The Nightmare Fair)|Mechanic]] built a [[transmitter]] which beamed Peri's screams into the Toymaker's mind, allowing the Doctor to defeat and imprison him inside his own [[hologram]]s. She then suggested that the Doctor take the Toymaker elsewhere, but he first took her back to the funfair. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Nightmare Fair (novelisation)}})
 
Peri suggested a holiday when the Doctor bemoaned that he had run out of TARDIS repairs and they headed to [[Amaltron]] where they were separated in a disturbance caused by [[Dwarf Mordant]]'s [[hate gun]]. Because she bore a resemblance to [[Mariana (The Ultimate Evil)|Mariana]], Peri was taken by [[Locas]] to [[Abatan]]'s [[palace]] and they were both imprisoned for entering the [[Tranquela Armoury]] in search of the missing [[Shankel]], Locas only using his teleportation power to get him and Peri out after they were joined by Shankel, [[Ravlos]] and [[Koreelya]], all of whom [[Escoval]] had [[hypnosis|hypnotised]]. Peri was reunited with the Doctor and joined him as he confronted and banished Mordant, after which she suggested a visit to [[Majorca]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ultimate Evil (novelisation)}})
 
On [[prison ship (Breaking Bubbles)|a prison ship]] transporting [[Safira Valtris]] from one planet to another, Peri was taken hostage by the former [[empress]] and taken away from the Doctor by way of a [[short-range teleport]]. She learnt from a [[hologram]] of a [[book]] about Valtris that she had started an interplanetary war and was able to stop her from killing [[Tondra|Officer Tondra]] when she tried to [[assassination|assassinate]] her, after which she persuaded Valtris to abandon her attempt to escape in [[Akros|General Akros]]'s ship on account of the number of deaths that would occur in a [[battle]] between her supporters and the [[Imperial Flotilla]]. Although [[Laris|Officer Laris]] wanted their statements, Peri and the Doctor left. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Breaking Bubbles (audio story)}})
 
[[Trobe]]'s [[chronological infection]] was detected by the TARDIS and Peri and the Doctor went to investigate, leading to the Doctor suffering from time sickness himself and experiencing [[time jump]]s which Peri was unaware of for some time. They met [[Maylon|Professor Maylon]] and fled with him when [[Standing|Professor Standing]] tried to kill them to prevent them from stopping [[Warma]]'s launch of the [[chronon bomb]]. Maylon was killed, but Peri was able to help the Doctor use Trobe's [[temporal energy]] to create a [[wormhole]] to Warma's [[satellite station]] and stop the launch, curing both the Doctor and Trobe of their affliction and preventing catastrophe. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Of Chaos Time The (audio story)}})
 
Picking up [[dark vacuum energy]] fluctuations in [[1939]], Peri and the Doctor went to [[St Ursula's College]] where, mistaken for author [[Susan Perry]], [[Petherbridge|Dr Petherbridge]] enlisted her help in finding out who was sending [[racism|racist]] [[letter]]s to [[Ruth Horwitz]]. Peri suspected that [[Joan Dalton]] was responsible on account of her failing to recruit Dr Horwitz to the [[communism|communist]] cause, but Dr Horwitz revealed that [[Maria Backhouse]] was a [[Nazi]] and had been [[blackmail]]ing her. She realised that Dr Backhouse was using the powers of Dr Horwitz's alien eye to hide in the college and, after Dr Backhouse's death and the eye's destruction, she left with the Doctor under the pretense of fetching notes for the speech Perry was supposed to give. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|An Eye For Murder (audio story)}})
 
Peri and the Doctor tracked [[Llangragen]] down to [[12 Arcadia Gardens]] and searched for him amongst the [[garden gnome]]s in the night, knocking on the front door during the day and having the door slammed on them by [[Olivia Jennings]] when the Doctor tried to tell her about the [[Genoi]]. After [[Michael Jennings]] purchased Llangragen from [[Houseproud]] and took him back on Llangragen's orders, Peri, the Doctor and Olivia went after him to stop the revival of the [[12th Genoi Battalion]].

[[Anzor]] pulled the TARDIS into [[Magnus]]'s [[orbit]] using [[Anzor's TARDIS|his own]] and the Doctor and Peri managed to descend to the planet where they met the [[Magnii]] and were separated, with Peri going with [[Vion]] and eventually running back into the Doctor. She was kidnapped by [[Jarga]] after the Doctor delayed the [[Ice Warriors]]' first round of explosives to alter the planet's orbit and convinced the [[Salvakian]] slaves to rebel against their captors, later being reunited with [[Sil]] and lined up to be executed by the Ice Warriors. However, the Doctor returned the planet to its original orbit and left with Peri ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mission to Magnus (novelisation)}}) after he finally stood up to Anzor, which Peri was proud he had done.

Technical issues with the TARDIS led to it landing in a [[Leviathan (Earth spacecraft)|Leviathan]], which the two travellers initially assumed was mediaeval [[England]]. Peri managed to convince the Doctor to leave the TARDIS to save [[Gurth]] from the [[Herne the Hunter|Herne]] when she saw them on the [[TARDIS scanner|scanner]] and was held captive by the [[Pariah (Leviathan)|Pariah]] until she persuaded Gurth to let her go, after which they were reunited with the Doctor and learnt that they were on a spaceship. Infiltrating the [[Baron (Leviathan)|Baron]]'s castle with Peri, the Doctor was able to take control of the [[Zeron (Leviathan)|Zeron]] and get everyone aboard the ship to the ''[[Icarus (spaceship)|Icarus]]'', after which they left in the TARDIS and again experienced technical problems.

Claiming that he was taking her to meet [[Foxwell|Reverend Foxwell]] and have a holiday, the Doctor took Peri to [[Hollowdean]] in the [[1980s]] where he had detected [[gravity|gravitational]] anomalies which they discovered were caused by a [[quantum gravity engine]] built by [[Stream (The Hollows of Time)|Professor Stream]]. Peri looked after [[Simon (The Hollows of Time)|Simon]] as he joined her and the Doctor on their mission which led to them being trapped in the engine with the Doctor and Foxwell. They eventually got free thanks to [[time corridor]]s made by Stream's captive [[Tractator]]s and Stream was pulled apart by [[the Gravis]]'s powers, something which Peri, unlike the Doctor, did not believe he could have survived. They offered Simon a place in the TARDIS, but he was unable to join them because of [[school]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Hollows of Time (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor took Peri to [[Targos Delta]] to catch up with [[Albrecht Thompson]], the latest in a long list of friends he had insisted on visiting since his [[regeneration]], but they learnt that he had never returned from [[Paradise 5]]. Peri got a job as a [[hostess]] there to assist the Doctor in finding him, learning that the [[Paradise Machine]] had been used to turn the mind of Albrecht, and numerous other guests, into soldiers for the [[Elohim]] whilst their bodies became [[Cherub (Paradise 5)|Cherubs]]. Peri saved the guests due to be subjected to the Machine using [[the Doctor's sonic lance|the sonic lance]] and escaped with them, the Doctor, [[Bella (Paradise 5)|Bella]], [[Stella (Paradise 5)|Stella]] and the Cherubs before the station crashed, after which she suggested a trip to [[Manhattan]] to cheer the Doctor up.

During a tour of [[asteroid]]s, the TARDIS was latched onto by the [[Omnim]] and sent to Earth in [[1590]] so that they could have [[Lorenzo Velez]] reform the [[Aztec]] blade which fed them. Peri and the Doctor were separated when the latter went to find [[Francis Walsingham]] to learn about [[Kit Marlowe]]'s mission to spy on Velez and Peri went with [[Tom (Point of Entry)|Tom]] to Velez's house where [[Iguano]] forced her to [[astral projection|astral project]], after which the Omnim briefly controlled her to communicate with the Doctor. By posing as [[Elizabeth I]], Peri helped in the search for the blade which ended with the Omnim's defeat and Kit, whom Peri had a liking for despite his actions, redeeming himself after making a deal with Velez. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Point of Entry (audio story)}})
 
The TARDIS's systems experienced interference from [[Megaptera]]'s [[time core]] and Peri and the Doctor were captured in its place by the [[SS Orcus|SS ''Orcus'']] when the Doctor saved it from the ship's [[tractor beam]]. Peri was attacked and infected by [[the Caller]] whilst avoiding the [[security guard]]s, but the Doctor managed to heal her using [[the Doctor's sonic lance|his sonic lance]] and they worked to stop [[Greeg (The Song of Megaptera)|Captain Greeg]] from killing Megaptera, materialising inside of it to realign its time core and help it escape.

Peri went with her to investigate [[Matthew Dysart]]'s [[power station]] and was captured by Dominicus, who took her through his [[time corridor]] to his ship on prehistoric Earth where he was dumping [[nuclear waste]] to destroy the [[planet]]. Affected by [[hallucinogen]]s, she came to her senses when she met [[Victoria Waterfield]] and spoke with her about her adventures in the TARDIS and helped stop Dominicus, learning that he was employed by the [[Terrible Zodin]] and remarking that she "got around".

After spending time in [[1901]] [[Madagascar]], the Doctor promised Peri a relaxing cruise and took her and the TARDIS aboard the ''[[Lankester]]'' as it set sail for [[New Orleans]], but Peri soon found that crossing the [[Atlantic Ocean]] was not a relaxing experience. She protested against [[Callany|Captain Callany]] when he accused the Doctor of murdering [[Crawford (Cryptobiosis)|Crawford]] and was almost killed by [[Jacques De Requin]] with [[Mercury (element)|mercury]] to hide the fact that he intended to sell [[Amphitrite]], a [[mermaid]] who subsequently died because of him. Having promised that she would protect [[Galatea|Amphitrite's daughter]], Peri returned her to [[Nereus]] and persuaded him to save the crew of the sinking ship from drowning.

Peri and the Doctor were stranded in [[1963]] [[Kazakhstan]] when the TARDIS's [[temperature circuit]] and were mistaken for [[Khristina Pushkin]] and [[Grigori Kalashnikov]] by [[Leonid Kurakin]], who took them to the [[Baikonur Cosmodrome]] where they investigated the deaths of the real Pushkin and Kalashnikov as well as [[Valentina Cherlin]]. She formed a bond with [[Laika]] when she returned from space and developed a romantic relationship with Kurakin whilst the Doctor was aboard ''[[Vostok 8]]'' with [[Larisa Petrov]], whom they realised was responsible for the deaths. Kurakin was shot on Laika's orders and, after Laika's death, Peri and the Doctor took the warhead Laika had intended to turn against the cosmodrome to [[Moonbase Eisenhower]] where Petrov and the animals under Laika's control were taken away by a [[black hole]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|1963: The Space Race (audio story)}})
 
==== Return home ====
At the [[Gogglebox]], Peri watched the news from [[1984]] [[Baltimore]] and had the Doctor take her back to see [[Janine Foster|Janine]] and [[Kathy Chambers|Kathy]] when she heard of the [[murder]] of [[Anthony Chambers]]. She was upset by her mother's response to her return and at having been at least partially responsible for her and [[Howard Foster|Howard]]'s separation, but she and Janine reconciled and helped the Doctor uncover the presence of [[Cyber-Leader (The Reaping)|a Cyber-Leader]] who killed Anthony as part of a trap to lure the Doctor to him.
 
Following the Cyber-Leader's return to [[Mondas]], Peri chose to stay with Janine, Kathy and the paralysed [[Nate Chambers|Nate]] and said a tearful farewell to the Doctor. She once again enrolled at [[university]] and was ready to continue her life on Earth, but Janine was killed when a conversion device Peri kept exploded. Kathy and Nate disappeared and the Doctor returned for Peri upon learning of these events at the Gogglebox; with nobody left to stay for, she rejoined her old friend in the TARDIS to continue their adventures.

The Doctor and Peri visited a galactic fair and took part in a [[virtual reality|virtual immersion experience]] that played out as a fantasy. Peri became trapped, while the Doctor tried to convince her virtual self of the danger. An alien parasite using the name Mr Darcy asked Peri to marry him, knowing that if she accepted, he'd be able to take over her mind. The Doctor intervened but fell prey to Darcy who had planned on taking him over from the very start. Peri woke up in the immersion room and supplied the system administrator – Crompton – with her own story to feed into the fantasy before returning to help the Doctor and defeat Darcy. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A Most Excellent Match (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor and Peri visited [[Bob Dovie]] at [[59A Barnsfield Crescent]] in [[Totton]], [[Hampshire]] on [[23 November]] [[1963]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Light at the End (audio story)}})
 
Tracing the source of [[temporal fluctuation]], Peri and the Doctor found that [[Amy Ipo]] was using a [[Luconian]] [[chronotopic projector]] to send customers into the past for [[holiday]]s. Peri fell into one of the booths during a scuffle and had to traverse time to make physical contact with the other tourists so that the Doctor could wake them up; in this mission, she became a male [[soldier]] called Perry, a [[France|French]]man in a [[hot air balloon]] called Perrault, a [[trapeze]] artist called the Amazing Perpugilliam, a [[fisherman]], a woman in [[19th century]] [[Venice]] and a [[dog]] called Pushinka. The Doctor then sent her to sabotage [[Exurus Holdings Plc]]'s share price as a [[computer virus]], shutting down the company. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Authentic Experience (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor and Peri witnessed Primus Cyberman 9.9P-VIV being destroyed when it overheated to the point of combustion while "raging at the final vestiges of its own humanity". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Ghost in the Machine (short story)}})
 
The Doctor took Peri to [[Buros]] so that she could go on a shopping spree at a Burosi [[market]], but they found that an [[ODIN Megastore]] had been built in its place and learnt from [[Sven (Under ODIN's Eye)|Sven]] that [[Thor (Under ODIN's Eye)|Thor]] was suppressing the [[Burosian]]s [[culture]] and that dissident employees had been disappearing. Investigating, they found a [[corrective labour]] camp in [[East Ridge (Under ODIN's Eye)|East Ridge]] and uncovered the relationship between Thor and the [[Morpatha]], after which they worked with Sven to defeat them. Peri and the Doctor slipped away afterwards, with Peri remarking to the Doctor how Sven was a "great guy". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Under ODIN's Eye (audio story)}})
 
Learning of the abilities at the mind farm, Peri wanted to use it to remember her late father, but became worried when [[Garius Moro]] recognised her. She helped him to remember his past. After the Doctor was imprisoned, she was determined to defend him and noticed that things had been changed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Memories of a Tyrant (audio story)}})
 
After landing aboard the ''[[Sun God (spaceship)|Sun God]]'', Peri was targeted by [[robot cat]]s attempting to inject her with an implant to make her non-human and thus incapable of taking [[Spalding Revere]]'s place in his [[sarcophagus]] and keeping the ship from flying into [[Tyresus Minor]] following his death. She remained in the TARDIS for her own safety until she met [[Brian Meadows]] with whom she fled from the cats, eventually being reunited with the Doctor and entering Revere's sarcophagus by virtue of being the only human aboard, stopping the ship's destruction. When she and the Doctor returned to the TARDIS, she vetoed his desire to keep a robot cat. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Flight of the Sun God (audio story)}})
 
==== With Joe ====
The Doctor once took Peri to a recording of ''Top of the Pops'' and encountered [[Joe Carnaby]], who Peri became enamoured with. He took them to [[Naxios]] where the Doctor and Peri found a group of religious people whose religions were based on works from ancient Earth, a set of Shakespeareans [[Cordelia (Blood on Santa's Claw)|Cordelia]] and [[Iago (Blood on Santa's Claw)|Iago]] who oppressed the Earth Animals (who worshipped the Wind in the Willows). Wanting to go back to Joe, she found a dead Father Christmas. She helped the Doctor to free the slaves and went to then find Joe. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Blood on Santa's Claw (audio story)}})
 
Going to the [[Ishtar institute]] to investigate what was happening there, she didn't like what was happening as it sounded like [[Eugenics]]. She became attached to [[Paul (The Baby Awakes)|Paul]] and [[Janey (The Baby Awakes)|Janey]] and didn't know how to choose between which one to discard to allow the Doctor to track their DNA through the system. Taking the children to adolescence she saw them become monsters. She tried to calm the children down. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Baby Awakes (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor landed at a party in the [[59th century]] and was reluctant to visit until Peri noticed that people weren't looking at the TARDIS. She removed the Mistletoe to chase Joe around the party trying to kiss him but was warned against it. When the TARDIS was taken to the cloakroom, she tried to find a backdoor to get to it. Joe tried to convince Peri to stay in the 59th Century. She fought with him about that and ended up running to the bathroom and crying. She discovered from [[Selene (I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day)|Selene]] that Joe wasn't after her as he reminded her of her brother. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day (audio story)}})
 
She worked out that Joe was the reason that the [[were lord]]s could escape. Deciding to kill Joe by evacuating the airlock she was transmatted to the Nursery where she met [[Ratty (Blood on Santa's Claw)|Ratty]] and [[Mole (Blood on Santa's Claw)|Mole]] and was run over by [[Toad (Blood on Santa's Claw)|Toad]]. She met [[Cordeline]] who showed her Paul and Janey who were now in their human forms after [[Shreela (The Baby Awakes)|Shreela]]'s message. The Doctor and her confronted Joe. She saw Paul sacrifice himself for her. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Brightly Shone The Moon That Night (audio story)}})

With time spent in the company of a second companion, [[Frobisher]] (a [[Whifferdill]] in the shape of a [[penguin]]) and occasional sabbaticals on Earth.
Peri became homesick for [[1980s]] [[America]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|CHAOS (short story)}}) and left the TARDIS to pursue a life in [[New York City]] in [[1985]], where she worked in an [[office]]. She grew frustrated with her job and soon quit, after which she gratefully rejoined the Doctor and [[Frobisher]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Kane's Story (comic story)}})
 
During a visit to [[Antarctopolis]] in [[7214]], the Sixth Doctor was kidnapped by the [[Auton]]s, allied with the Master; Peri and Frobisher helped him escape. As part of a plan with the [[Tenth Doctor]], Frobisher disguised himself as Peri so was kidnapped in her place by a disguised [[Adam Mitchell]], equipped with a [[Adam Mitchell's vortex manipulator|vortex manipulator]], ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Façades (comic story)}}) however Adam later captured her anyway. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Choice (comic story)}}) She was freed after eleven incarnations of the Doctor confronted Adam and the Master. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Endgame (POT comic story)}})
 
[[File:Exodus.jpg|thumb|left|Peri and Frobisher. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Exodus (comic story)}})]]
In the TARDIS, Peri and Frobisher were cleaning until they found an [[alien]] family in one of the rooms. When the Doctor refused to help them, Peri convinced him to help them. When the family left, the Doctor decided to go to their planet, [[Sylvaniar]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Exodus (comic story)}})
 
As soon as they arrived, they were imprisoned. The Doctor was allowed freedom and after he defeated the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]], he came back for them. When they left Peri discovered that her new travelling partner had [[mono-morphia]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Revelation! (comic story)}} / {{cs|Genesis! (comic story)}})
 
At one point, Peri enjoyed a baseball match. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Time Bomb (comic story)}}) When she came back, she forced the Doctor on a diet. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Salad Daze (comic story)}}) When the TARDIS was invaded, Peri and Frobisher went to help the Doctor. However, they were separated in the memory vaults and Peri ran into the invader who took her form. She was rescued by the Doctor and Frobisher. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Changes (comic story)}})

==== Further adventures ====
==== Further adventures ====
After their series of stressful adventures, the Doctor decided to take Peri to the planet Ravolox to relax due to its similarity to Earth. However, he soon learned that Ravolox was ''indeed'' Earth, moved thousands of light years from its original position. They met the primitive and dimwitted descendants of humans, whom he barely avoided being killed by multiple times, and prevented a black light explosion by the egotistical machine [[Drathro]]. The Doctor also learned Ravalox had been moved to protect secrets stolen from a higher species. Who they were remained a mystery. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet]]'')
Peri once had to change the [[light bulb]] of the TARDIS's [[outer plasmic shell]], which she learnt had to be done from the inside. She climbed a stairway, passing [[portrait]]s of the Doctor's various [[incarnation]]s, and climbed a small [[ladder]] to reach the hatch which allowed her to change the bulb. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Enlightenment (comic story)}})
 
Peri and the Doctor travelled to the [[Dalek City]] to save [[Davros]] from [[Davros's trial (Revelation of the Daleks)|his trial]] following his [[arrest]] on [[Necros]] and managed to survive being hit by [[Dalek]] gunfire by holding onto a [[Dalekanium]] [[wire]]. They successfully liberated him after the Doctor released a [[computer virus]] to incapacitate the Daleks and led him to the TARDIS with a [[technobot]], taking him away in the TARDIS. The Doctor told Davros of the [[Hand of Omega]], which he told Peri was part of a plan he had. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Emperor of the Daleks! (comic story)}})
 
The Doctor took Peri to [[Omnia]] as it was a remote planet. She noticed that there was no writing on the gravestones. She was taken to a forbidden zone where she learnt that the planet was invaded by the [[Dalek]]s. [[Hingus Steen]] helped her when she was caught out during curfew. She was appalled that the main way of resistance was listening to the forbidden texts. Steen betrayed her to the Daleks. She escaped with the Doctor into the mines, but was eventually recaptured. She was then subjected to [[Truth assessment]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Emissary of the Daleks (audio story)}})
[[File:Peri in 1793 France.jpeg|thumb|Peri posing as the wife of [[Percy Blakeney]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Plight of the Pimpernel (audio story)}})|left]]


On the planet [[Thoros Beta]], the Doctor found the Mentors were back at work, trying to make deals with a savage king named Ycarnos through a failed attmept to manipulate his mind. After a failed attempt to probe his mind to see if the Time Lords had sent him to intervene on their behalf, the Doctor pretended to be on the Mentors' side and helped [[Mentor]] [[Kiv]] transplant his mind to a deceased Mentor. When Peri was in danger of having her mind overwritten by Kiv's, the Doctor was put under the control of the Time Lords. They forced him to board his TARDIS and re-materialise in the [[Space Station Zenobia]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Mindwarp]]'')
Peri posed as [[Percy Blakeney]]'s wife whilst the Doctor investigated how the Scarlet Pimpernel existed in the real world. She wanted to pose as the Scarlet Pimpernel, as she was sure that they were a real person. She managed to persuade the Doctor to let her go with [[Oliver (Plight of the Pimpernel)|Oliver]]. Whilst in France she was attacked by [[Z22]], and on coming home she learnt that Blakeney was an alien fugitive from the future. She was appalled at seeing the effect of what she thought the Z22 did but then learnt that Blakeney was the one who had caused it. Peri left the estate to Oliver as thanks. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Plight of the Pimpernel (audio story)}})


=== Fate ===
The Doctor took Peri to [[Zycros]] to see the thousand year thaw of the planet and see a wonderful waterfall. She talked about how much they had grown as a pair, and he wanted to know why she stayed after his regeneration. She replied that she wanted to see him recover from the trauma of the regeneration. She thought that she should think about moving on. She used a gravity tractor to find the Doctor. The Doctor told her to come and find him using the TARDIS after he went with [[Ervis]]. She remembered when this happened before. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Thousand Year Thaw (audio story)}}) She followed the Doctor in the TARDIS with to Arunopal encountering her younger self. Feeling funny, she re-entered the TARDIS to stop the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]] from occuring, but the Doctor used this to power up his machine to rewrite a paradox that was happening. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Firstborn (audio story)}})
The reason for the large number of contradictory accounts regarding Peri's life was that competing factions of Time Lords chose different ways to re-write her life. According to an unnamed Time Lord who visited the Sixth Doctor and a version of Peri living in [[Los Angeles]] in [[2009]], no fewer than ''five'' versions of Peri existed:


==== The original ====
[[File:Peri (The Mysterious Planet).jpg|thumb|Peri gets a funny feeling about "Ravolox". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mysterious Planet (TV story)}})]]
[[File:You killed PEri...jpg|thumb|Kiv's mind in Peri's body, moments before it is destroyed. ([[DW]]: ''[[Mindwarp]]'')]]
Visiting [[Ravolox]] because of its similarity to Earth and having supposedly been destroyed, Peri was greatly upset to discover upon finding [[Marble Arch]] that she and the Doctor were indeed on her home planet and was soon captured by the [[Tribe of the Free]]. She, [[Sabalom Glitz]] and [[Dibber]] managed to escape from [[Katryca]] twice, only for Peri and the Doctor to go after her when she went to [[Marb]] to take [[Drathro]]'s [[castle]]. Peri persuaded [[Merdeen]] not to kill the Free and infiltrated the castle with him and [[Balazar]] through the ration chute, after which she helped contain a [[black light]] explosion and left with the Doctor, unaware of who moved Earth and its [[constellation]] or why. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mysterious Planet (TV story)}})
One was killed when Lord [[Kiv]] replaced her brain with his own, as the Doctor viewed during his trial Kiv-in-Peri's body was subsequently killed by [[Yrcanos]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Mindwarp]]'') The Time Lord encountered in 2009 likened this to an assassination, strongly implying that it was orchestrated by the Time Lord faction behind the trial, i.e. [[The Valeyard]], as a way of removing a potential witness who could contradict the altered recordings played at the trial. It's unclear whether Sil and/or Yrcanos were knowing accomplices. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'')


==== The warrior queen ====
The TARDIS's [[number 2 renticular celluprime]] ran out of charge and Peri and the Doctor were left stranded on [[Malgar]] until it powered back up, going to explore despite Peri wanting the two of them to stay in the TARDIS to keep out of trouble. When they met the [[Malgarian]]s, she stayed with them at their [[homestead]] to keep an eye out for anything strange whilst the Doctor investigated the [[Sisters of Serenity]] who had pacified the Malgarians. Peri went after him with the help of the [[Shadow League]] and saved him from the Sisters after learning that he had entered the [[Abbey of Serenity]] alone, leaving to find the [[Hyrudex]] a new home following the Sisters' retreat. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Shadows of Serenity (audio story)}})
[[File:Reunion.jpg|thumb|left|Peri as [[Queen]] on [[Krontep]]. ([[BE]]: ''[[Reunion (BE short story)|Reunion]]'')]]
A rival Time Lord faction, feeling the assassination unwarranted, pulled Peri out of that timestream at some moment before her death and allowed her to, as the Time Lord puts it, "live out her days" as a warrior queen alongside Yrcanos, as revealed to the Doctor at the conclusion of his trial ([[DW]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe]]'', [[NA]]: ''[[Bad Therapy]]'', [[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]''). Peri and Yrcanos ultimately had three children: two sons and a daughter, just as Peri had always wanted. ([[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'') She had at least three grandchildren, a few of whom would meet the Doctor and Frobisher. ([[GN]]: ''[[The Age of Chaos]]'')


Peri would later be visited by the [[Seventh Doctor]] when she was in her early forties. By this time, still bitterly unhappy with the Doctor, she felt resigned to her fate. ([[BE]]: ''[[Reunion (BE short story)|Reunion]]'') Another account suggests that the [[Seventh Doctor]] returned Peri to late [[20th century]] Earth. ([[NA]]: ''[[Bad Therapy]]'') It is possible these two were separate Peris.
On [[Thordon]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (novelisation)}}) Peri and the Doctor met a [[Warlord]] with a sexual interest in Peri who had been supplied with [[CD phaser]]s from [[Thoros-Beta]]. He told Peri and the Doctor where the weapons came from with his dying breath and they went to investigate, the Doctor being concerned with the interference with the [[Thordonian]]s' civilisation. Peri, however, was less concerned given that the Thordonians would be killing each other with less-advanced weapons anyway. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}})


==== Returned home with memories wiped ====
=== Death ===
An unnamed female Time Lord president (possibly [[Romana]]), feeling that forcing Peri to spend her days with Yrcanos was a fate worse than death, arranged for another permutation of Peri to be removed from the timestream and returned to Earth in the mid-1980s with all her memories of travelling with the Doctor erased, except for her first encounter ([[DW]]: ''[[Planet of Fire]]''), similar to what occurred to [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Zoe Heriot]] following the Doctor's first trial ([[DW]]: ''[[The War Games]]''). Although the president's intentions were good, this version of Peri faced great challenges over the next quarter century. After returning to America, she married her childhood sweetheart, who proved to be extremely abusive to her, ultimately injuring her so badly she could not bear children and required reconstructive surgery to her face. This Peri became a relationship counsellor and, later, a popular TV talk show host in Hollywood, as well as an actress. In her late forties, she reunited with the Doctor on an adventure that saw her interact with her younger self and, ultimately, learn about her other selves. Offered a chance to travel with the Doctor again, she declined and returned to her life in 2009 [[Los Angeles]]. ([[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox]])
[[File:Peri, Yrcanos and Dorf.jpg|thumb|left|Peri and Yrcanos develop feelings for each other. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}})]]
Upon arriving on [[Thoros-Beta]] in [[2379]],{{Fact}} Peri and the Doctor were attacked by [[the Raak]] and captured by [[Kiv]]'s men, but they managed to escape with [[Yrcanos]] after [[Crozier]] attempted to interrogate him to learn what provoked the Raak. According to a [[the Matrix|Matrix]] record ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}}) tampered with by [[the Valeyard]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ultimate Foe (TV story)}}) the Doctor began behaving oddly and seemingly betrayed his friends to [[Sil]], again giving Peri away when she joined [[Kani|Matrona Kani]]'s retinue to speak with him discreetly.


==== Returned home with memories intact ====
Peri, Yrcanos and [[Dorf]] went on to stir up rebellion amongst the [[Thoros-Alphan]]s until they were stunned by [[Frax]] and imprisoned. Peri confessed to Yrcanos, who decided that she would be his [[queen]], that she had been feeling a longing to belong somewhere with people that she [[love]]d ever since arriving on the planet and bonded with him whilst trying to explain the concept of love. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}}) She was relieved when she was taken to the [[laboratory]] as she believed that she had avoided [[execution]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (novelisation)}}) but after examination, she was strapped to an operating table and gagged, as she had been chosen by Crozier to become the host for Kiv through direct transference of his [[brainwave]]s. The Doctor was taken out of time by the [[Time Lord]]s, preventing him from saving Peri ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}}) who would otherwise be able to corroborate his claims about [[Ravolox]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}})
One version of Peri was returned home with all her memories of the Doctor intact. She sought him out on the internet. ([[WEB]]: ''[[Defending the Earth!|Who is Doctor Who?]]'') It is not known how or why this Peri existed.
 
[[File:Peri Is Prepared For Brain Surgery.jpg|right|thumb|An unconscious and bald Peri is prepared for mind alteration. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}})]]
Matrona Kani completely shaved Peri's head, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}}) which Peri was glad that she was unable to see, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (novelisation)}}) and Crozier completely erased her mind in the process of transferring Kiv, meaning that although Peri was still physically alive, the person she once was mentally no longer existed. Ostensibly to prevent Crozier's discovery from making Kiv [[immortality|immortal]] and affecting [[evolution]] across the universe, the [[High Council]] trapped Yrcanos in a [[time bubble]] and used him as an unwitting [[assassin]] to kill Kiv by destroying Peri's body with a [[CD phaser]] soon after the successful transfer. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}})
 
=== Survival ===
Despite her death, a number of varied fates for Peri existed thanks to the temporal manipulations of various competing factions of [[Time Lord]]s who each devised different ways to save her life and let her live out her life. According to a Time Lord who visited the Sixth Doctor and a version of Peri living in [[Los Angeles]] in [[2009]], at least five versions of Peri were removed from the timeline prior to the death of the original. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}})
 
==== The Warrior Queen ====
A faction within the [[High Council]] deemed Peri's death excessive and unnecessary and pulled her out of the timestream before her death, allowing Yrcanos to rescue her. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}) According to one account, she made Yrcanos wait with her on Thoros-Beta for a month as she believed that the Doctor would be coming back to collect her, something she continued to believe when she agreed to leave for [[Krontep]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Bad Therapy (novel)}}) She and Yrcanos were [[marriage|married]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ultimate Foe (TV story)}}) in the [[Hall of Blood and Skulls]] on the [[Day of Six Deaths]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Dark Scrolls of the Valeyard (short story)}}) and it was on the day of their wedding that she accepted that the Doctor would not be coming for her. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Bad Therapy (novel)}})
 
[[File:Reunion.jpg|thumb|left|Peri as [[Queen]] on Krontep. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Reunion (BE short story)}})]]
Accounts differed on whether Peri was in [[love]] with Yrcanos ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}; [[WC]]: {{cs|The Eternal Mystery (webcast)}}) or if the relationship was entirely one-sided. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Bad Therapy (novel)}}) She brought peace and prosperity to Krontep and was considered mightier than her husband, ruling with both steel and compassion. ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Eternal Mystery (webcast)}}) As well as being the nominal queen, known in one account as Queen Gilliam, she was [[governor]] in her own right of seven [[planet]]s and [[director]] of several [[health]] and [[education]] enterprises on Krontep and almost never had time off from her official duties as a result. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Bad Therapy (novel)}})
 
[[Adelphi|A Time Lord]] claimed that Peri and Yrcanos had three children: two boys and a girl. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}) According to one account, their daughter [[Yrcanthia]] gave them three grandchildren: [[Actis]], [[Artios]] and [[Euthys]], ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Age of Chaos (comic story)}}) whilst another claimed that Peri chose not to have any children with Yrcanos, who waited patiently for her to change her mind. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Bad Therapy (novel)}})
 
According to one account, Peri was reunited with a small and old Doctor twenty years after they parted ways on Thoros-Beta. She was bitterly unhappy with him for having abandoned her and refused to reconcile with him, claiming that she had had better things to think about than him whilst on Krontep. He left, accepting her decision. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Reunion (BE short story)}})
 
According to another account, Peri was suffocated by the regimented life of a queen and her twenty-five unhappy years of marriage and ran away to the [[Palace of the First Queen of Kr'on Tep]] where she continued her research into [[Petruska]]. Although she promised Yrcanos that she would return when he came after her, she used Petruska's [[time tunnel]] and was reunited with the Doctor in [[Seventh Doctor|his seventh incarnation]], whom she greeted with a slap, in [[London]] in [[1958]]. She helped him defeat [[Moriah]], after which she forgave the Doctor for leaving her and had him take her to the late [[20th century]] where she went to travel [[Europe]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Bad Therapy (novel)}})
 
[[File:Older Peri Brown in The Eternal Mystery.jpg|thumb|right|An older Peri returns to Krontep. ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Eternal Mystery (webcast)}})]]
A further account stated that after ruling for many years as the Warrior Queen, Peri left Krontep following Yrcanos' death as she did not believe that her subjects needed a figurehead anymore, with her disappearance being dubbed the Eternal Mystery. ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Eternal Mystery (webcast)}}) She began travelling the universe, and eventually returned to Earth. She later found herself on the [[remembered TARDIS]], where she was reunited with an [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Sixth_Doctor?so=search#Reunion_in_the_Memory_TARDIS older version of the Sixth Doctor]. Peri thought back to her experience on [[Varos]], and agreed to rejoin the Doctor in his travels, on the condition that he take her back to Krontep once a year to pay her respects to Yrcanos and check on her former people. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Vengeance on Varos (TotT TV story)}}) On one such occasion, she was caught by [[Rex (The Eternal Mystery)|Rex]] and invited him aboard the TARDIS. ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Eternal Mystery (webcast)}})
 
According to another account, in which she was regularly visited by the Sixth Doctor, Peri remained on Krontep following Yrcanos's death and went into [[exile]] under the name Ranith when Actios and Euthys entered into a [[civil war]] which killed Yrcanthia, who had succeeded Yrcanos. She returned after the Doctor, [[Frobisher]] and Actis exposed [[Farlig]]'s warmongering whilst under the control of a [[Nahrung]] and was reunited with her family, with the Doctor, to whom she did not reveal her identity, calling out to her from afar as he prepared to leave the planet, knowing that it was her. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Age of Chaos (comic story)}})

Feeling that forcing Peri to live out her days with [[Yrcanos]] was a fate worse than death, an incoming [[President of the High Council|President]] arranged for another version of Peri to be removed from the timestream and given the same treatment as [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Zoe Heriot]]: being returned home and having her [[memory|memories]] of all but her first adventure with the Doctor wiped. Peri completed her studied at [[college]], going on to earn a [[doctorate]], and resumed her relationship with [[Davey Silverman]], whom she [[marriage|married]]. Davey frequently beat her, kicking her on their [[honeymoon]] and pushing her down the stairs.
 
Davey's beatings were so severe that Peri had to undergo reconstructive surgery because of damage to her [[nose]] and found that she was unable to bear children. She ran away to [[Los Angeles]] and became a [[relationship counsellor]] because she wanted to help people, but she eventually did it solely to make [[money]] and came to host ''[[Dr. Peri Brown: Worrier Queen]]'', a popular [[television]] series which she produced with [[Carburetor]], her best friend. After [[divorce|divorcing]] Davey, she had two further failed marriages.
 
In [[2009]], Peri was reunited with the Doctor on an adventure that saw her interact with her younger self — she pretended to be [[The X-Files|an alien expert working for the government]] in order to protect the [[Web of Time]], not revealing her future to her past self. She unintentionally appalled her earlier self by seeming to kill [[Zarl]], despite the fact that he was actually the Sixth Doctor in a monster costume, and was teleported away rather than killed. Ultimately, she learnt about her other selves, and the Doctor apologised profoundly for how his people had tampered with her life. Offered a chance to travel with the Doctor again, she declined and returned to her life in [[Los Angeles]] in [[2009]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}})
 
==== Earth with Yrcanos ====
Exercising [[mercy]], the [[High Council]] distorted [[the Matrix]]'s timeflow and removed Peri and Yrcanos prior to the mind transfer operation, sending them back in time to live out their lives on [[Earth]] in the early [[1990s]]. Peri was happy to be back in the [[United States of America|United States]], where she and Yrcanos settled in [[California]], and believed that Yrcanos coped better with the perplexities of the [[20th century]] than some natives.
 
Peri became Yrcanos's manager when he decided to take up a career as an all-win [[wrestler]] and watched him from the crowd during his matches. Whilst doing so, she wondered what had happened to the [[Sixth Doctor]] as her memories of [[Thoros-Beta]] had become vague, but she was ultimately happy being in her original time and place. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (novelisation)}})
 
==== Mind parasite ====
===== Overcoming Mandrake =====
Another version of Queen Peri, visited by the Sixth Doctor on Krontep, was revealed to have become a pawn of [[Mandrake (The Widow's Assassin)|Mandrake]], the Doctor's childhood imaginary enemy that became a mind parasite, transferred to Crozier's computer when the Doctor was connected to the machine, and then to Peri's body instead of Kiv. Oblivious of the fact, Yrcanos died seven days after the wedding, having been poisoned by Mandrake.
 
When the Doctor came to attend Peri's wedding, Mandrake had him thrown into the cells, where he remained for five years as Mandrake used Peri's body to prepare for a coup of the various kingdoms. However, since Peri was sterile due to her spectrox poisoning, none of the other rulers would marry "Peri" as she would be unable to continue the royal line. After five years, Mandrake poisoned Peri's own body, wanting to force the Doctor to transfer his mind to the body of princess [[Dirani]] of [[Hurn]] in exchange for a cure.
 
Eventually, after swapping bodies with Peri in order to force the mind parasite into submission with his greater strength of will, the Doctor managed to restore her real [[consciousness]] and save her life with an antidote he had prepared during his imprisonment. Following this, Peri rejoined the Doctor on his travels. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Widow's Assassin (audio story)}})
 
===== Continued adventures =====
One of their first trips together in the TARDIS again was to [[Scotland]] during the [[2150s Dalek invasion of Earth]]. She wanted to stop the stoning of [[Ross Nicolson]]. The Doctor told her not to get involved in what was happening and accidentally got chosen to work in the Daleks' refinery. On board, Peri met [[Moira Brody]] who told her more of the situation. Whilst escaping the complex she met up with the Doctor as he broke in.
 
Peri and the Doctor joined Moira on her way north to the Orkneys. Walking by foot, she was infected by a [[Varga plant]]. She started to be influenced by the Varga and wanted to kill her friends. After being captured by the Daleks, Moira started testing her blood and Peri was cured in a Dalek facility. She then helped Moira and [[Curbishly]] to stop the [[Roboman Elite]] as Moira used the same technique she used on Peri to remember her past. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Masters of Earth (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor and Peri visited the [[College of Advanced Galactic Education]] so that the Doctor could get an honorary degree. She helped [[Lizzo]] when they encountered her after she was experimented on. After attending one of Professor Baxton's lectures, she followed her to the medical facility and she realised that Baxton was in fact [[the Rani]] in her [[Second Rani|new incarnation]]. Peri was subjected to another body-switching experience when an elderly Countess was transferred into her body, but listening to an audio diary Peri had made earlier forced the Countess to realise that what she and others were doing was wrong. Peri later gained an honorary degree in Botany. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Rani Elite (audio story)}})
 
When a signal was interfering with the TARDIS, she noticed that the TARDIS rotor was cracking. She used her botanical knowledge using the local plant life to deduce that they had landed in an African Jungle. They found the camp that [[Amanda Latimer]]'s expedition was using. She used her status of the Queen of Krontep to negotiate for their release. She was taken by the [[B'lemyae]] with [[Siyanda]]. Peri realised that the B'lemyae's creation story meant that they had come from the space. She tried to rescue [[Kaylin]] but she was almost dragged over a cliff. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Headless Ones (audio story)}})
 
She went with the Doctor to [[Rusina]] to help in negotiate on behalf of [[Sandis-Fernis]]. She was arrested for not having a computer chip implanted into him. She didn't like the concept of social media. The Doctor and Peri both had a chip forcibly implanted in them and released into the custody of [[Christie (Like)|Christie]]. She initially declined to be part of an advertising campaign, but when their sub count did permitted her or the Doctor to see the governor she accepted it to get the subs. She was distressed at how [[Crompton]] manipulated the Doctor's message. She used her contact at Christie's to help [[Sandis-Fernis]] by creating a mini-advertising campaign. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Like (audio story)}})
 
Aiming for [[Metebelis IV]], the Doctor and Peri landed on Earth encountering [[Myrna Kendal]] who said she knew them both, which delighted her as her mother watched all her films. She stopped the Doctor from wearing his own attire. She consoled [[Carolyn Sue May]] after she was chastised by Myrna. She was flung into the future be the time distortion. She realised that Myrna and Carolyn were forked versions of each other. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Vanity Trap (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor and Peri went to [[Freudian Institute]] to undertake some therapy and were both assigned a [[Sigmund Freud (robot)|Sigmund Freud]] to care for them. She told them about their exploration and dismissed that they were attracted to danger, after detailing their defeat of [[the Complex]]. She also retold how the Doctor wouldn't let her leave the TARDIS, then requested to be returned to Baltimore during the 1990s. When he suggested keeping her in a deep freeze to stop her from dying, she thought something was mentally wrong with the Doctor, and that's why they came to the institute. She was attacked by the Rorschach. She was sent to [[The Complex]], Her story to her analyst was a fiction based on multiple previous adventures. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Conflict Theory (audio story)}})
 
==== Possessed by Kiv ====
Another account suggested that Peri survived the assassination and continued to be possessed by the mind of Kiv until a new host body was selected. It was implied that her brain, which still housed Kiv's mind, was surgically transplanted into the new body by [[Cordelia Crozier]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arodor (novelisation)}})


==== Other ====
==== Other ====
The other permutation of Peri, and the reason for its creation, were not specified by the Time Lord. ([[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)|Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'') However, there is an account that suggests a version of Peri and Yrconos settled on Earth at some point after their marriage, with Yrconos becoming a professional wrestler and Peri his valet. ([[DWN]]: ''[[Mindwarp (novelisation)|Doctor Who: Mindwarp]]'')
The other permutations of Peri and the reasons for their creation were not specified by the Time Lord. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}})
 
== Undated events ==
While travelling with the Sixth Doctor, Peri encountered the [[Henry Fielding|Fielding]] [[John Fielding|brothers]] in an adventure involving an exiled Draconian prince. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Avenues of Possibility (audio story)}})
 
At some point, Peri was taken to the [[Black Archive]] by [[UNIT]] to have her record as a [[companion]] of the Doctor taken, her memories of the visit were subsequently erased and she was sent on her way. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}})
 
In [[March]] [[2005]], Peri wrote on the website [[Doctor Who?]] asking if anybody had [[information]] on the Doctor as she was interested in getting back in touch. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Have You Seen This Man? (short story)}})
 
== Alternative timelines ==
In a [[Parallel universe (He Jests at Scars...)|parallel universe]], [[The Valeyard (He Jests at Scars...)|the Valeyard]] accidentally killed the [[Fourth Doctor]] by [[Time ram|time-ramming]] him, the [[Fifth Doctor]] was erased from existence, and thus Peri's first meeting with the Doctor was altered or [[temporal dissolution|dissolved]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|He Jests at Scars... (audio story)}})
 
In an [[Alternate timeline (Supremacy of the Cybermen)|alternate timeline]] created when [[Rassilon]] joined forces with the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], the [[Fifth Doctor]] and Peri landed on [[Skaro]], the home planet of the [[Dalek]]s, only to find it conquered by the Cybermen. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Supremacy of the Cybermen (comic story)}}) Realising that the Cybermen had grown powerful to wipe out the Daleks, the Doctor led Peri away, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Prologue: The Fifth Doctor (comic story)}}) only for this timeline to be undone when a remorseful Rassilon joined forces with the [[Twelfth Doctor]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Supremacy of the Cybermen (comic story)}})
 
The Doctor and Peri were almost forced to land at the [[Event One|Big Bang]] due to mysterious coordinates being sent to the TARDIS which the Doctor tried to investigate. Escaping the explosion, the Doctor and Peri arrived at a [[Vess]] warehouse, and learnt the full magnitude of the situation with the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]]. The Seventh Doctor was melancholy when he saw her again, telling his younger self that he had never gotten used to [[time travel]] leading to his being reunited with old friends. However, Peri got along well with Ace. She was surprised that Ace referred to the Seventh Doctor as "Professor" but was amused when she referred to the Sixth Doctor as "Joseph," a reference to the musical ''[[Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat]]''. The Sixth Doctor and Peri went to investigate the higher levels where they found a delegation of Time Lords, however Peri vanished due to the Doctor’s travels being undone by the Master’s [[conceptual bomb]]. These events were erased when the detonation of the conceptual bomb was prevented by the Doctors and the [[First Doctor]] disabled the emergency system that had drawn some the Doctors to the Vess pocket dimension. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Light at the End (audio story)}})
 
== Personality ==
{{Section stub}}
Peri enjoyed playing [[tennis]], [[hockey]] and [[lacrosse]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Two Doctors (novelisation)}}) Peri was often exasperated with the Doctor's sixth incarnation ([[TV]]: {{cs|Vengeance on Varos (TV story)}}), but still cared for him and came to see her own hypocrisy. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)}}, etc.) Over time, the two of them became more amicable with each other, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mysterious Planet (TV story)}}) especially after the death of Peri's mother. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Reaping (audio story)}})
 
Although she typically relied on the Doctor, she showed that she was intelligent, such as when she figured the poison must own a cure, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Caves of Androzani (TV story)}}) and when tricked a [[Paradise 5]] computer into giving her food and drink. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Paradise 5 (audio story)}}) She showed such courage when standing up to enemies. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of Fire (TV story)}}, {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}}, {{cs|Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)}}) She also showed compassion for many, even on opponents such as [[Gustave Lytton|Lytton]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}}) She mourned the death of [[Kamelion]] even though he was an android, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of Fire (TV story)}}) proved a capable one as a big sister figure to [[Erimem]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Veiled Leopard (audio story)}}), and also felt remorse after killing a [[Mutant (Revelation of the Daleks)|mutant]] victim of [[Davros]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)}}) She was remembered by [[Krontep]] as leading with iron and compassion, and was regarded as being mightier than her husband. ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Eternal Mystery (webcast)}})


== Mysteries and discrepancies ==
Peri began to develop fond and romantic feelings for the warrior king [[Yrcanos]], whom she subsequently fell in love with. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}}) Following her rescue on Thoros Beta, Peri married Yrcanos in a least one timeline, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ultimate Foe (TV story)}}) and later bore his children. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Age of Chaos (comic story)}}) After the warrior king's death, Peri would regularly visit a temple dedicated to Yrcanos, once a year, to pay tribute to her late husband. ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Eternal Mystery (webcast)}})
* During the Doctor's fifth incarnation, Peri spent a year as a guerrilla fighter while separated from the Doctor, who meanwhile headed a military organisation known as [[the Alliance (Warmonger)|the Alliance]] ([[PDA]]: ''[[Warmonger]]'') ''(Where this falls in terms of Peri's personal timeline remains unknown.)''


* The length of time Peri spent with the Doctor is unclear. Some accounts suggest her travels with the Doctor occurred over the space of months, but at least "a couple of years" passed (for her, anyway) between her first encounter with [[Jamie McCrimmon]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Two Doctors]]'') and the second ([[DWM]]: ''[[The World Shapers]]''). As noted above, she was also separated from the Doctor for as long as a year on one occasion ([[PDA]]: ''[[Warmonger]]'') and two years on another ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Kingmaker (audio story)|The Kingmaker]]''). The fact one version of Peri was returned to Earth immediately after her first encounter with the Doctor suggests her time with the Doctor was brief enough that she didn't change physically unless the Time Lords altered her appearance ([[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'')
In one timeline, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)}}) Peri's entire mind was altered into becoming a copy of [[Kiv|Lord Kiv's]]. This made her personality more ruthless, lustful and dictatorial, although Crozier made sure she retained some of her original personality's spirit and strength, and she also seemed to retain her disgust for the physical form of the [[Mentor|Mentors]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}})
 
== Appearance ==
[[File:Peri on Ravalox.jpg|thumb|Peri with longer hair and more conservative clothes. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mysterious Planet (TV story)}})]]
Peri had dark, shiny hair which she usually wore short and straight ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Mark of the Rani (novelisation)}}) but later wore long and curled. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mysterious Planet (TV story)}}, {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}}) During her time on Krontep, she wore her hair short again, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Widow's Assassin (audio story)}}) presumably due to having to regrow it after being shaved bald by [[Kani|Matrona Kani]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}}) In her later years, she styled her hair long and straight. ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Eternal Mystery (webcast)}}) She had a trim young figure ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Mark of the Rani (novelisation)}}) and was considered beautiful. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Caves of Androzani (TV story)}}, {{cs|Timelash (TV story)}})
 
She often wore shorts with a low-cut top whilst travelling with the Doctor; ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of Fire (TV story)}}, {{cs|Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Two Doctors (TV story)}}, etc.) but donned different outfits. She wore a [[yellow]] gown in [[19th century]] [[Killingworth]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mark of the Rani (TV story)}}) She wore an [[ochre]] [[justacorps]], a [[Bronze (colour)|bronze]] [[brown]] [[waistcoat]], a [[white]] [[shirt]], and an [[Alabaster (colour)|alabaster]] [[jabot]] during [[1793]]. ([[AUDIO]]: [[Plight of the Pimpernel (audio story)|''Plight of the Pimpernel'']] [+]) She wore a [[blue]] ensemble over a [[Burgundy (colour)|burgundy]] [[trouser suit]] on [[Necros]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)}}) In her later adventures, she wore more conservative clothes. On Ravolox, she wore a [[yellow]] and [[black]] [[pinstripe]] [[blazer]], a [[Gold (colour)|gold]] [[blouse]] and [[Silver (colour)|silver]] [[grey]] [[trousers]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mysterious Planet (TV story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Mysterious Planet (novelisation)}}) while on Thoros Beta, she was attired in a sleeveless wrap blouse in [[Fuchsia (colour)|fuchsia]] [[pink]] under a short loose-fitting [[kimono]]-style jacket in pink, white and [[blue]]; along with [[Sapphire (colour)|sapphire]] blue [[culottes]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mindwarp (TV story)}}) Whilst visiting the temple dedicated to her late husband, an older Peri wore a [[black]] ensemble, including a cloak with a hood. ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Eternal Mystery (webcast)}})  


== Behind the scenes ==
== Behind the scenes ==
* Using her real [[English]] accent [[Nicola Bryant]] played "Miss Brown", an obvious analogue to Peri in three [[BBV Productions]] videos in the Stranger series: ''Summoned by Shadows'', ''More Than a Messiah'' and ''In Memory Alone''. Later videos in the series would make clear that the Stranger series did not take place in the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]] and that Peri and Miss Brown had no connection with each other. Bryant also played Elenya "Ellie" Brown, the girlfriend of [[Colin Baker]]'s character, in another BBV production, the non-Doctor Who ''The Airzone Solution''. It is conceivable that the "Miss Brown" of the Stranger series could be the fifth alternate Peri mentioned in [[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)|Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'', suggesting she either coincidentally began travelling with a Doctor-like individual who happened to look exactly like the Sixth Doctor and began affecting a British accent, or she was placed in an alternate reality.
=== Name ===
* Counting audio and televised adventures together, Peri effectively shares the longest-serving companion title — both in terms of number of stories and recorded time — with [[Ace]]. As they are tied, the title essentially alternates as new stories are released. Her nearest rivals are Jamie McCrimmon, [[Charlotte|Charley Pollard]] and [[Nyssa]]. Of these, only Jamie and Nyssa appear to be in active use past 2010. Nyssa's appearances are considerably more frequent that Jamie's so she represents the only potential threat to Peri and Ace's record-breaking number of appearances. While she clearly eclipses the amount of time [[Sarah Jane Smith]] has been seen or heard as a ''companion'', Peri is easily outpaced by the ''character'' of Sarah, due to Sarah's latter-day appearances as a solo character.
When asked about the name "Perpugilliam" in a 1986 interview, [[Nicola Bryant]] said:
* While Peri is supposed to be an American, her English accent often slips and her American accent wanders between different regional accents. She sometimes uses phrases and pronunciations that Americans would not use, such as "lift" instead of the American "elevator". Indeed, the ''[[Attack of the Cybermen]]'' DVD commentary maintained that it was mandated that Peri only use British slang to avoid confusing the audience. This may have worked for the ''British'' audience, but, as [[Peter Davison]] pointed on on the DVD commentary for ''[[Planet of Fire]]'', it had the opposite effect on American viewers. They could spot Bryant's fake American accent — or, really, ''any'' British actor's attempt at American — with ease. This was one of the principal reasons that Davison fought hard against adding an American companion to the show. This idiosyncrasy of language did not end with the TV series, as it can be heard as recently as the 2011 release [[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]''.
{{quote|I never warmed to the name Perpugilliam, but I like Peri as a name. John [Nathan-Turner] found it in a book. Apparently, in the Sixties, mothers in America were naming their children with particularly long ostentatious names. Obviously, John was using this to typify the kind of background that Peri had had, and the kind of mother she had.|Nicola Bryant|DWM 119}}
* According to Nicola Bryant on the DVD commentary for ''[[Planet of Fire]]'', there was an active effort to cover up the fact that she was not, in fact, American. She recounted there how [[John Nathan-Turner]] insisted she use her American accent when making public appearances or appearances that could have been monitored by the press. At least during the recording of her earliest [[serial]]s, like ''Fire'', she was even required to use the American accent when she broke character between takes. It's unclear how long this obfuscation lasted, but evidence for the subterfuge can be heard on a clip from ''Breakfast Time'' broadcast the day the first episode of ''The Twin Dilemma'' aired. During the interview, the interviewer asserted that as a "little girl in America" Bryant used to watch ''Doctor Who'' and dream of being a companion. Bryant, who used only a very mild English accent during the interview, failed to correct the interviewer or to even look as though the interviewer had made an error. Near the end of the [[1984]] [[production block]] — which is to say after the recording of [[Season 22]], but probably slightly before its airing — Bryant gave a radio interview in which she used her natural British accent. ([[BBCR]]: ''[[Doctor Who at the BBC Volume 3]]'')
 
* The idea of [[Howard Foster]] sexually abusing Peri is one never considered by the production team on ''[[Planet of Fire]]'' and does not have resonance in audio and print literature beyond [[TN]]: ''[[Shell Shock]]''. [[Nicola Bryant]] says that the idea, as envisioned by [[Fiona Cumming]], [[Dallas Adams]] and her was to suggest that she and her stepfather had an appropriate but friendly relationship. Indeed, according to Bryant, Peri much preferred the company of Howard to that of her mother. ([[DCOM]]: ''[[Planet of Fire]]'') However, the character of Peri (or at least one aspect of Peri) was still destined for an abusive relationship as revealed in [[CC]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]''.
The 1995 Cornerstone trading card misspelt her name as "Perpugillium". The same typo was made in ''[[Dalek Combat Training Manual (reference book)|Dalek Combat Training Manual]]'' in 2021.
 
Perpugilliam is an old family name ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Players (novel)|Players]]'') and a family tradition. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Town Called Eternity (short story)|A Town Called Eternity]]'')
 
In the audio story ''[[The Bride of Peladon (audio story)|The Bride of Peladon]]'', Peri claims her name means "she who lives in the hills".
 
In the short story ''[[A Handful of Stardust (short story)|A Handful of Stardust]]'', [[Thomas Digges]] says that Perpugilliam is [[Latin]] for "by a handful". Digges ends ''[[A Perfit Description of the Caelestiall Orbes]]'' with the inscription "''Per Pugilliam Pulvis Sidereus''", which Peri translates as "by a handful of stardust".
 
=== BBV Productions ===
Using her actual [[English]] accent, [[Nicola Bryant]] played "Miss Brown" (who was never actually referred to by name on-screen), an obvious analogue to Peri, in three [[BBV Productions]] videos in the {{wi|The Stranger (video series)|Stranger}} series: ''Summoned by Shadows'', ''More Than a Messiah'' and ''In Memory Alone''. Later videos in the series would make clear that the ''Stranger'' series did not take place in the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]] and that Peri and Miss Brown had no connection with each other. Bryant also played Elenya "Ellie" Brown, the girlfriend of [[Colin Baker]]'s character, TV weather forecaster Arnold "Arnie" Davis, in another BBV production, the non-''Doctor Who'' ''The Airzone Solution''.
 
=== Longevity ===
Counting audio and televised adventures together, Peri effectively shares the longest-serving companion title — both in terms of number of stories and recorded time — with [[Ace]]. As they are tied, the title essentially alternates as new stories are released. Her nearest rivals are [[Jamie McCrimmon]], [[Charley Pollard]] and [[Nyssa]]. Nyssa's appearances are considerably more frequent than Jamie's so she represents the only potential threat to Peri and Ace's record-breaking number of appearances.
 
While she clearly eclipses the amount of time [[Sarah Jane Smith]] has been seen or heard as a ''companion'', Peri is easily outpaced by the ''character'' of Sarah, due to Sarah's latter-day appearances as a solo character.
 
Peri was also incredibly prolific within the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s era on television. ''[[Terror of the Vervoids (TV story)|Terror of the Vervoids]]'' is the only television story of that era in which she does not appear, though within that story, she is still mentioned.
 
=== American accent ===
While Peri is supposed to be an American, her English accent often slips and her American accent wanders between different regional accents. She sometimes uses phrases and pronunciations that Americans would not use, such as "lift" instead of the American "elevator".
 
Indeed, the ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'' DVD commentary maintained that it was mandated that Peri only use British slang to avoid confusing the audience.

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Doctor Who at the BBC Volume 3]]'')
 
=== Relationship with her stepfather ===
The idea of [[Howard Foster]] sexually abusing Peri is one never considered by the production team on ''[[Planet of Fire (TV story)|Planet of Fire]]'' and does not have resonance in audio and print literature beyond the novel ''[[Shell Shock (novel)|Shell Shock]]''.

=== Other matters ===
* [[David Richardson]] cited Peri among the potential [[companion]]s to meet the [[Tenth Doctor]] in ''[[Tenth Doctor Classic Companions]]'', but were ultimately not utilised in the anthology. ([[BFX]]: ''Tenth Doctor Classic Companions'')

Perpugilliam Brown, also known as Peri, was a companion of the Fifth and Sixth Doctors.

She was an American college student who accidentally joined the Fifth Doctor during his visit to Lanzarote in 1984. She then elected to remain with him for the rest of her vacation time. She remained with the Doctor after his regeneration into his sixth incarnation. She found it harder to get along with him because of his recklessness, seeing him as arrogant and mad; only to see her own hypocrisy when her influence on him caused the death of Gustav Lytton by the hands of a Cyber Controller, and also the deaths many victims of Davros and his Necros Daleks. However, as time went on, the Sixth Doctor's personality mellowed and Peri's friendship with him improved, especially after he returned to comfort her after the death of her mother.

Peri was separated from him by the Time Lords so that they could cover up the Ravolox conspiracy. According to the Tremas Master, Peri fell in love with King Yrcanos and married him, but that was just part of the truth. As it turned out, there were several future versions of Peri's life due to interventions of various Time Lord factions. One of these versions of Peri eventually rejoined the Sixth Doctor on his travels after Yrcanos died, though she returned to Krontep once a year to pay tribute to her late husband.

Peri had limited contact with other companions, although she did encounter a few. She spent a significant amount of time alongside the uncrowned Egyptian Pharaoh Erimem, developing a deep sister-like bond. As well as this she had a series of adventures with Frobisher. She was also acquainted with Jamie McCrimmon, meeting him and the Second Doctor during an encounter with two Androgums and two leading members of the Ninth Sontaran Battle Group. She also very briefly met Vislor Turlough who left the Doctor's company just prior to her joining. She also met Kamelion briefly before his destruction. She also briefly met Ace, accompanied by the Seventh Doctor, at the Factory.

Teenage years[[edit] | [edit source]]

Paul taught Peri how to use a gun, although she did not like handling them (PROSE: Attack of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Attack of the Cybermen (novelisation)"]) and was not confident in her ability to use them. (TV: Attack of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)"]) When she was thirteen, her father died in a boating accident.

(PROSE: Synthespians™ [+]Loading...["Synthespians™ (novel)"], Shell Shock [+]Loading...["Shell Shock (novel)"])

In high school, Peri was a straight A student (AUDIO: Trouble in Paradise [+]Loading...["Trouble in Paradise (audio story)"]) and popular amongst her peers whilst Kathy was her "geeky friend". (AUDIO: The Reaping [+]Loading...["The Reaping (audio story)"]) She studied Christopher Columbus, whose actions she was disgusted by, in great detail (AUDIO: Trouble in Paradise [+]Loading...["Trouble in Paradise (audio story)"]) and learnt British history, covering Henry VIII.

(AUDIO: Paradise 5 [+]Loading...["Paradise 5 (audio story)"])

In addition to Kathy, Peri was friends with Eunice, Paula, (AUDIO: The Reaping [+]Loading...["The Reaping (audio story)"]) and Candy Tyler, whom she once pushed into the path of a boy to prevent him from asking her to prom. (AUDIO: The Veiled Leopard [+]Loading...["The Veiled Leopard (audio story)"]) Candy never forgave her. (AUDIO: The Reaping [+]Loading...["The Reaping (audio story)"]) She attended prom and would later look back unfavourably on the boys she had had to choose from for her date. (AUDIO: The Trials of a Time Lord [+]Loading...["The Trials of a Time Lord (audio story)"]) Peri and some of her friends once drove across the plains of Arizona. She would later remember how clearly she was able to see the stars that night, a view which was not surpassed until her travels with the Sixth Doctor.

Peri's first boyfriend was George Stewart, whom she nicknamed "Curious George" and who crashed the car on their way to their first date because he was distracted by her legs. When she was sixteen, she was dumped by "a real creep" and was upset until her grandmother called her and told her to pull herself together. She started dating Davey Silverman, who never left her alone for the first three months of their relationship and was nervous when she once used the subway, something that she interpreted as him being overprotective. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox [+]Loading...["Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)"])

Peri and Nate both disliked their names, which they thought were stupid, and agreed that they would one day get them changed.

Peri and Howard. (PROSE: The Doctor: His Lives and Times [+]Loading...["The Doctor: His Lives and Times"])

Peri considered breaking up with Davey rather than have a long-distance relationship whilst she was at college and he punched a door when he realised this was the case. She ultimately decided to stay with him, (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox [+]Loading...["Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)"]) although she did date Chuck for a time and found that he was unable to give simple answers to any question, always speaking in "jargonese". (PROSE: Attack of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Attack of the Cybermen (novelisation)"]) She would later remark that she had to deal with a number of "dumb jocks" in college.

On campus, Peri was a sports star, enjoying playing tennis, hockey and lacrosse. (PROSE: The Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (novelisation)"]) Whenever she passed the Zoology laboratory on campus, she was glad that she chose to study Botany instead as she did not know what was going on with the animals inside.

In Lanzarote on 9 May 1984, Peri met two Englishmen (AUDIO: The Reaping [+]Loading...["The Reaping (audio story)"]) and decided to go with them to Morocco before returning to college in the autumn, cashing in her return ticket to New York. However, Howard stopped her from making it to the airport on time by stranding her on a boat.

Peri was saved by Vislor Turlough from drowning and was taken by him into the TARDIS where she met the Fifth Doctor and Kamelion, who assumed Howard's form and, later, the Tremas Master's. Kamelion seized control of the TARDIS and took Peri to Sarn where she met the real Master. Following his defeat and Turlough's return to Trion with his brother, Peri joined the Doctor on his travels with the intention of returning to finish her degree. (TV: Planet of Fire [+]Loading...["Planet of Fire (TV story)"])

With Erimem[[edit] | [edit source]]

After travelling alone with the Doctor, they met Erimem, a princess of ancient Egypt, who joined them in the TARDIS. (AUDIO: The Eye of the Scorpion [+]Loading...["The Eye of the Scorpion (audio story)"])

The Doctor intended to drop Erimem off on the Braxiatel Collection so that she could have an education. Instead, they arrived in 17th century Paris. There, Peri was kidnapped by the Duke of Buckingham, who believed that she was Queen Anne (a look-alike of Peri). After this adventure, the Doctor invited Erimem to join them travelling in the TARDIS. (AUDIO: The Church and the Crown [+]Loading...["The Church and the Crown (audio story)"])

By this time, Peri had found one of Leela's skins in the TARDIS wardrobe and considered wearing it on one occasion. (AUDIO: No Place Like Home [+]Loading...["No Place Like Home (audio story)"])

Peri grew exceptionally close to Erimem and hoped her feelings for Erimem were like those she had for a sister. (PROSE: Blood and Hope [+]Loading...["Blood and Hope (novel)"]) She helped teach Erimem to read English.

In a hallucination induced by the plants of YT45, Kyropite, she believed that she had a boyfriend with a stepson, Kyle. She had to deal with Kyle's unruly behaviour. She was eventually found being ingested by the plants. Inside the dream her stepson caught Meningitis, this corresponded to her health deteriorating in the real world. As it got worse she imagined her partner cheating on her and then she was run over by a car. Takol wanted her to die for his experiment. She didn't recognise the Doctor when he went into her dream. As her dream became a bad drama, the Doctor asked her to choose. As she awoke the plant removed itself from her. Both Erimem and the Doctor took her back to the TARDIS to escape. (AUDIO: The Mind's Eye [+]Loading...["The Mind's Eye (audio story)"])

The Doctor, Peri and Erimem visited Peladon after answering a distress call from the Ice Warrior prince and ambassador Zixlyr in the 41st century.

The Doctor and Peri departed for the TARDIS, still in orbit around Peladon with the help of Alpha Centauri's ship. (AUDIO: The Bride of Peladon [+]Loading...["The Bride of Peladon (audio story)"])

Later adventures[[edit] | [edit source]]

Soon after Erimem's departure, Peri and the Doctor went to the planet Grallista Social for a spot of relaxation but found themselves in the midst of a viral decontamination effort by the Viyrans. She was infected with a virus which turned anyone she came into contact with. The Viyrans were getting her to remember each time this happened, first with the Doctor, then with Chris and finally Lawrence as a way to remove her memories as part of the cure. Her memory wouldn't be erased as easily so the Viyran wanted to kill her. She realised that her memory was returning as her memory was trying to work out what had happened and why it was happening. (AUDIO: Mission of the Viyrans [+]Loading...["Mission of the Viyrans (audio story)"])

Peri and the Doctor went to the village of Sair during the Middle Ages, where a young man named Tablibik used a form of magic to make her fall in love with him. The Doctor swiftly broke his spell. (PROSE: Fascination [+]Loading...["Fascination (short story)"])

After Peri was badly injured, the Doctor took her to Karn where she was kidnapped by Morbius. However, she was able to trick him into putting her into an escape pod and escaped to Sylvana where she became a guerrilla leader against his regime. She eventually rejoined the Doctor after he became the general of an army of Draconians, Sontarans, Cybermen and Ice Warriors against Morbius. (PROSE: Warmonger [+]Loading...["Warmonger (novel)"])

Arriving in Los Angeles in 2009 to stop Zarl from selling Earth's water to his fellow Piscons, Peri met a future version of herself who, unbeknownst to her, only remembered her first adventure with the Doctor. She was disgusted by her future self when she apparently killed Zarl and Carburetor and greatly upset upon learning that her future self had lied about having children, which she wanted more than anything. She decided that she would stay with Davey Silverman when her travels came to an end and wondered about how her relationship with the Doctor, who decided to take her to Androzani Minor, would change given what he had seen her future self do. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox [+]Loading...["Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)"])

Whilst exploring Androzani Minor, Peri and the Doctor contracted spectrox toxaemia and became caught in the conflict over spectrox between Androzani Major government forces and Sharaz Jek's insurgency. They were arrested by government forces and sentenced to execution, but they were abducted by Jek, who was attracted to Peri. They escaped with the aid of fellow prisoner Salateen, however the Doctor became separated from them. Salateen took her back to the soldiers, however she was abducted by Jek again. She began to die from the disease and the Doctor gave her the single dose of bat's milk he was able to acquire before regenerating into a new incarnation, to her astonishment. (TV: The Caves of Androzani [+]Loading...["The Caves of Androzani (TV story)"])

Adventures with the Sixth Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

The new Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

Peri was disturbed by the Sixth Doctor's behaviour following his regeneration and terrified after he attempted to strangle her, leading him to decide to repent for his actions as a hermit on Titan III before they found the wounded Hugo Lang and learnt of the kidnapping of Romulus and Remus Sylvest. Joined by Hugo, they followed Azmael and the Sylvests to Jaconda where they were captured by Mestor, whom the Doctor and Azmael killed. Peri tried to get the Doctor to stay to help the Jacondans and admonished him for being rude to Hugo when they parted, but he asked her to get to wait before condemning his new persona. (TV: The Twin Dilemma [+]Loading...["The Twin Dilemma (TV story)"])

Peri wanted to return home, but decided to acquiesce to the Doctor's request and get to know him. (PROSE: The Twin Dilemma [+]Loading...["The Twin Dilemma (novelisation)"]) He called Peri by the names of various former companions of his, as well as Zodin, in the days following Jaconda (TV: Attack of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)"]) and, according to one account, they spent a week frozen inside of a glacier on Vespod Eight. Otherwise, Peri spent her time studying in case she returned to college and demanded that she and the Doctor discuss terms for her remaining on the TARDIS. (PROSE: Attack of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Attack of the Cybermen (novelisation)"])

Peri and the Doctor stand outside 76 Totter's Lane. (TV: Attack of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)"])

After picking up Gustave Lytton's distress call in 1985, Peri and the Doctor descended into London's sewers and encountered Cybermen who infiltrated the TARDIS and forced the Doctor to take them, Lytton and Charles Griffiths to Telos. There, Peri was saved from a deranged Cyberman by Rost and Varne, from whom she learnt of the Cybermen's plan to destroy Earth and who wanted her to destroy the TARDIS to prevent this, and was eventually reunited with the Doctor. She told the Doctor that Lytton was working with the Cryons, but they were too late to save him and they left Telos before Cyber-Control was destroyed. (TV: Attack of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)"])

The Doctor kept making attempts to repair the TARDIS's chameleon circuit, causing it to switch between various shapes before returning to the form of a police box. It was then that Peri demanded that he stop. (COMIC: Quick Change [+]Loading...["Quick Change (comic story)"]) He had a number of accidents in the TARDIS, including burning dinner despite promising a cold supper, (TV: Vengeance on Varos [+]Loading...["Vengeance on Varos (TV story)"]) and Peri thought more and more about returning to college. (PROSE: Vengeance on Varos [+]Loading...["Vengeance on Varos (novelisation)"])

When the TARDIS's trans-power system failed, Peri and the Doctor travelled to 23rd century Varos on emergency power to acquire Zeiton-7 and saved Jondar from execution in the Punishment Dome, only for Peri to be captured and taken to the Governor, the Chief Officer and Sil. She was accused of being a spy for Amorb and taken by Quillam for his cell mutation experiments, which began turning her into a bird hybrid, but the Doctor saved her and, after being recaptured and escaping with the Governor and Maldak, Sil was defeated. With a supply of Zeiton-7, Peri and the Doctor left to continue their travels. (TV: Vengeance on Varos [+]Loading...["Vengeance on Varos (TV story)"])

Peri stayed in her bedroom reading Jeffrey Archer after leaving Varos because she was tired of being shouted at, but the Doctor barged in after detecting something following them through the Time Vortex. She realised that the object was sending signals which they followed to the Overseers, whom they learnt had been interfering with reality to make the Doctor's adventures more interesting for them to sell as entertainment. The Doctor was ultimately powerless to stop them from doing so. (PROSE: Telling Tales [+]Loading...["Telling Tales (short story)"])

Whilst scuba-diving, Peri became separated from the Doctor and was found by the Memory, which fed on her sense of self as well as her body and which she refused to give into. She accessed its mind and used it to create a woman whom she sent to find the Doctor, but she had been reduced to a disembodied brain by the time he found her and he had to use his connection to the Memory to put her mind back together and create a duplicate body. Her new body was exactly the same as her original, although it was initially hairless. (PROSE: Shell Shock [+]Loading...["Shell Shock (novel)"])

Running in the new Zeiton-7 landed the Doctor and Peri in Dorsill where Peri saw Edward Baddesley dig up Bill Neville's corpse, which he demonstrated when confronted by the Doctor was to inspect it as there had not been a post-mortem. The corpse came to life before they could return it to its grave and the Doctor and Edward went after it whilst Peri waited in the pub because of a cold, learning from Janet Spillsbury that Christopher Sheldon had been working on a DNA computer. Realising that alien DNA had been used as part of an MoD experiment, the Doctor ensured that everybody got the antidote, including Peri after she was infected. (PROSE: Grave Matter [+]Loading...["Grave Matter (novel)"])

The Doctor took Peri to Earth tens of thousands of years into her future to acquire a six-dimensional anomaly to recalibrate the TARDIS and repair some of the damage he had done to it. Peri was caught by Monitors looking for Kimo Ani after picking up the Wibliwee's ship and put in suspended animation with the rest of humanity, but the Doctor and Kimo Ani saved her. After the Doctor used the Wibliwee's ship to repair part of the TARDIS, Peri checked that the kitchens were in working order once again. (PROSE: Moon Graffiti [+]Loading...["Moon Graffiti (short story)"])

Before the TARDIS materialised on Reef Station One, Peri's mind was touched by the Nestene Consciousness and she had a vision of Shub-Niggurath sending her children out to colonise the universe. She befriended Claudia Bruderbakker and helped investigate after her father was killed by her step-mother, keeping Walter J. Matheson busy as the Doctor and Claudia looked into Skin Deep and discovered the involvement of the Autons. Matheson subjected Peri and Claudia to the Skin Deep process, but the Doctor saved them and, after the Nestenes' defeat, Peri declined Claudia's offer to give up her life of adventure and stay with her and Marcus Brooks, whom she considered a "ready-made" boyfriend, in the 101st century. (PROSE: Synthespians™ [+]Loading...["Synthespians™ (novel)"])

Peri asked the Doctor to take her to Rome to see the Colosseum where they noticed a gladiator carrying a digital watch, leading them to follow chronon energy radiation through time and to find various other anachronisms. After six days, they arrived at Dotty's in New York City where they met the amnesiac Jacob, whom they learnt had been travelling through time on a gap year using a BackPack and had saved the life of Dorothy in 1897, changing his own timeline and causing him to start fading out of existence. He chose to let himself disappear than stop himself saving Dorothy, but Peri was delighted to learn from Mary that Dorothy had never forgotten him. (AUDIO: Not Forgotten [+]Loading...["Not Forgotten (audio story)"])

Return home[[edit] | [edit source]]

At the Gogglebox, Peri watched the news from 1984 Baltimore and had the Doctor take her back to see Janine and Kathy when she heard of the murder of Anthony Chambers. She was upset by her mother's response to her return and at having been at least partially responsible for her and Howard's separation, but she and Janine reconciled and helped the Doctor uncover the presence of a Cyber-Leader who killed Anthony as part of a trap to lure the Doctor to him.

Following the Cyber-Leader's return to Mondas, Peri chose to stay with Janine, Kathy and the paralysed Nate and said a tearful farewell to the Doctor. She once again enrolled at university and was ready to continue her life on Earth, but Janine was killed when a conversion device Peri kept exploded.

He told Peri and the Doctor where the weapons came from with his dying breath and they went to investigate, the Doctor being concerned with the interference with the Thordonians' civilisation. Peri, however, was less concerned given that the Thordonians would be killing each other with less-advanced weapons anyway. (TV: Mindwarp [+]Loading...["Mindwarp (TV story)"])

Death[[edit] | [edit source]]

Peri and Yrcanos develop feelings for each other. (TV: Mindwarp [+]Loading...["Mindwarp (TV story)"])

Upon arriving on Thoros-Beta in 2379,[source needed] Peri and the Doctor were attacked by the Raak and captured by Kiv's men, but they managed to escape with Yrcanos after Crozier attempted to interrogate him to learn what provoked the Raak. According to a Matrix record (TV: Mindwarp [+]Loading...["Mindwarp (TV story)"]) tampered with by the Valeyard, (TV: The Ultimate Foe [+]Loading...["The Ultimate Foe (TV story)"]) the Doctor began behaving oddly and seemingly betrayed his friends to Sil, again giving Peri away when she joined Matrona Kani's retinue to speak with him discreetly.

Peri, Yrcanos and Dorf went on to stir up rebellion amongst the Thoros-Alphans until they were stunned by Frax and imprisoned. Peri confessed to Yrcanos, who decided that she would be his queen, that she had been feeling a longing to belong somewhere with people that she loved ever since arriving on the planet and bonded with him whilst trying to explain the concept of love. (TV: Mindwarp [+]Loading...["Mindwarp (TV story)"]) She was relieved when she was taken to the laboratory as she believed that she had avoided execution, (PROSE: Mindwarp [+]Loading...["Mindwarp (novelisation)"]) but after examination, she was strapped to an operating table and gagged, as she had been chosen by Crozier to become the host for Kiv through direct transference of his brainwaves. The Doctor was taken out of time by the Time Lords, preventing him from saving Peri (TV: Mindwarp [+]Loading...["Mindwarp (TV story)"]) who would otherwise be able to corroborate his claims about Ravolox.

Matrona Kani completely shaved Peri's head, (TV: Mindwarp [+]Loading...["Mindwarp (TV story)"]) which Peri was glad that she was unable to see, (PROSE: Mindwarp [+]Loading...["Mindwarp (novelisation)"]) and Crozier completely erased her mind in the process of transferring Kiv, meaning that although Peri was still physically alive, the person she once was mentally no longer existed. Ostensibly to prevent Crozier's discovery from making Kiv immortal and affecting evolution across the universe, the High Council trapped Yrcanos in a time bubble and used him as an unwitting assassin to kill Kiv by destroying Peri's body with a CD phaser soon after the successful transfer. (TV: Mindwarp [+]Loading...["Mindwarp (TV story)"])

Survival[[edit] | [edit source]]

Despite her death, a number of varied fates for Peri existed thanks to the temporal manipulations of various competing factions of Time Lords who each devised different ways to save her life and let her live out her life. According to a Time Lord who visited the Sixth Doctor and a version of Peri living in Los Angeles in 2009, at least five versions of Peri were removed from the timeline prior to the death of the original. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox [+]Loading...["Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)"])

The Warrior Queen[[edit] | [edit source]]

A faction within the High Council deemed Peri's death excessive and unnecessary and pulled her out of the timestream before her death, allowing Yrcanos to rescue her. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox [+]Loading...["Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)"]) According to one account, she made Yrcanos wait with her on Thoros-Beta for a month as she believed that the Doctor would be coming back to collect her, something she continued to believe when she agreed to leave for Krontep.

Peri as Queen on Krontep. (PROSE: Reunion [+]Loading...["Reunion (BE short story)"])

Accounts differed on whether Peri was in love with Yrcanos (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox [+]Loading...["Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)"]; WC: The Eternal Mystery [+]Loading...["The Eternal Mystery (webcast)"]) or if the relationship was entirely one-sided. (PROSE: Bad Therapy [+]Loading...["Bad Therapy (novel)"]) She brought peace and prosperity to Krontep and was considered mightier than her husband, ruling with both steel and compassion. (WC: The Eternal Mystery [+]Loading...["The Eternal Mystery (webcast)"]) As well as being the nominal queen, known in one account as Queen Gilliam, she was governor in her own right of seven planets and director of several health and education enterprises on Krontep and almost never had time off from her official duties as a result. (PROSE: Bad Therapy [+]Loading...["Bad Therapy (novel)"])

A Time Lord claimed that Peri and Yrcanos had three children: two boys and a girl. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox [+]Loading...["Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)"]) According to one account, their daughter Yrcanthia gave them three grandchildren: Actis, Artios and Euthys, (COMIC: The Age of Chaos [+]Loading...["The Age of Chaos (comic story)"]) whilst another claimed that Peri chose not to have any children with Yrcanos, who waited patiently for her to change her mind. (PROSE: Bad Therapy [+]Loading...["Bad Therapy (novel)"])

According to one account, Peri was reunited with a small and old Doctor twenty years after they parted ways on Thoros-Beta. She was bitterly unhappy with him for having abandoned her and refused to reconcile with him, claiming that she had had better things to think about than him whilst on Krontep. He left, accepting her decision. (PROSE: Reunion [+]Loading...["Reunion (BE short story)"])

According to another account, Peri was suffocated by the regimented life of a queen and her twenty-five unhappy years of marriage and ran away to the Palace of the First Queen of Kr'on Tep where she continued her research into Petruska. Although she promised Yrcanos that she would return when he came after her, she used Petruska's time tunnel and was reunited with the Doctor in his seventh incarnation, whom she greeted with a slap, in London in 1958. She helped him defeat Moriah, after which she forgave the Doctor for leaving her and had him take her to the late 20th century where she went to travel Europe. (PROSE: Bad Therapy [+]Loading...["Bad Therapy (novel)"])

An older Peri returns to Krontep. (WC: The Eternal Mystery [+]Loading...["The Eternal Mystery (webcast)"])

A further account stated that after ruling for many years as the Warrior Queen, Peri left Krontep following Yrcanos' death as she did not believe that her subjects needed a figurehead anymore, with her disappearance being dubbed the Eternal Mystery. (WC: The Eternal Mystery [+]Loading...["The Eternal Mystery (webcast)"]) She began travelling the universe, and eventually returned to Earth. She later found herself on the remembered TARDIS, where she was reunited with an older version of the Sixth Doctor. Peri thought back to her experience on Varos, and agreed to rejoin the Doctor in his travels, on the condition that he take her back to Krontep once a year to pay her respects to Yrcanos and check on her former people. (TV: Vengeance on Varos [+]Loading...["Vengeance on Varos (TotT TV story)"]) On one such occasion, she was caught by Rex and invited him aboard the TARDIS. (WC: The Eternal Mystery [+]Loading...["The Eternal Mystery (webcast)"])

According to another account, in which she was regularly visited by the Sixth Doctor, Peri remained on Krontep following Yrcanos's death and went into exile under the name Ranith when Actios and Euthys entered into a civil war which killed Yrcanthia, who had succeeded Yrcanos. She returned after the Doctor, Frobisher and Actis exposed Farlig's warmongering whilst under the control of a Nahrung and was reunited with her family, with the Doctor, to whom she did not reveal her identity, calling out to her from afar as he prepared to leave the planet, knowing that it was her.

Dr Peri Brown[[edit] | [edit source]]

Peri in 2009. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox [+]Loading...["Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)"])

Feeling that forcing Peri to live out her days with Yrcanos was a fate worse than death, an incoming President arranged for another version of Peri to be removed from the timestream and given the same treatment as Jamie McCrimmon and Zoe Heriot: being returned home and having her memories of all but her first adventure with the Doctor wiped. Peri completed her studied at college, going on to earn a doctorate, and resumed her relationship with Davey Silverman, whom she married. Davey frequently beat her, kicking her on their honeymoon and pushing her down the stairs.

Davey's beatings were so severe that Peri had to undergo reconstructive surgery because of damage to her nose and found that she was unable to bear children. She ran away to Los Angeles and became a relationship counsellor because she wanted to help people, but she eventually did it solely to make money and came to host Dr. Peri Brown: Worrier Queen, a popular television series which she produced with Carburetor, her best friend. After divorcing Davey, she had two further failed marriages.

In 2009, Peri was reunited with the Doctor on an adventure that saw her interact with her younger self — she pretended to be an alien expert working for the government in order to protect the Web of Time, not revealing her future to her past self. She unintentionally appalled her earlier self by seeming to kill Zarl, despite the fact that he was actually the Sixth Doctor in a monster costume, and was teleported away rather than killed. Ultimately, she learnt about her other selves, and the Doctor apologised profoundly for how his people had tampered with her life. Offered a chance to travel with the Doctor again, she declined and returned to her life in Los Angeles in 2009. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox [+]Loading...["Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)"])

Earth with Yrcanos[[edit] | [edit source]]

Exercising mercy, the High Council distorted the Matrix's timeflow and removed Peri and Yrcanos prior to the mind transfer operation, sending them back in time to live out their lives on Earth in the early 1990s. Peri was happy to be back in the United States, where she and Yrcanos settled in California, and believed that Yrcanos coped better with the perplexities of the 20th century than some natives.

Peri became Yrcanos's manager when he decided to take up a career as an all-win wrestler and watched him from the crowd during his matches. Whilst doing so, she wondered what had happened to the Sixth Doctor as her memories of Thoros-Beta had become vague, but she was ultimately happy being in her original time and place. (PROSE: Mindwarp [+]Loading...["Mindwarp (novelisation)"])

Mind parasite[[edit] | [edit source]]

Overcoming Mandrake[[edit] | [edit source]]

Another version of Queen Peri, visited by the Sixth Doctor on Krontep, was revealed to have become a pawn of Mandrake, the Doctor's childhood imaginary enemy that became a mind parasite, transferred to Crozier's computer when the Doctor was connected to the machine, and then to Peri's body instead of Kiv. Oblivious of the fact, Yrcanos died seven days after the wedding, having been poisoned by Mandrake.

When the Doctor came to attend Peri's wedding, Mandrake had him thrown into the cells, where he remained for five years as Mandrake used Peri's body to prepare for a coup of the various kingdoms. However, since Peri was sterile due to her spectrox poisoning, none of the other rulers would marry "Peri" as she would be unable to continue the royal line. After five years, Mandrake poisoned Peri's own body, wanting to force the Doctor to transfer his mind to the body of princess Dirani of Hurn in exchange for a cure.

Eventually, after swapping bodies with Peri in order to force the mind parasite into submission with his greater strength of will, the Doctor managed to restore her real consciousness and save her life with an antidote he had prepared during his imprisonment. Following this, Peri rejoined the Doctor on his travels. (AUDIO: The Widow's Assassin [+]Loading...["The Widow's Assassin (audio story)"])

Continued adventures[[edit] | [edit source]]

One of their first trips together in the TARDIS again was to Scotland during the 2150s Dalek invasion of Earth. She wanted to stop the stoning of Ross Nicolson. The Doctor told her not to get involved in what was happening and accidentally got chosen to work in the Daleks' refinery. On board, Peri met Moira Brody who told her more of the situation. Whilst escaping the complex she met up with the Doctor as he broke in.

Peri and the Doctor joined Moira on her way north to the Orkneys. Walking by foot, she was infected by a Varga plant. She started to be influenced by the Varga and wanted to kill her friends. After being captured by the Daleks, Moira started testing her blood and Peri was cured in a Dalek facility. She then helped Moira and Curbishly to stop the Roboman Elite as Moira used the same technique she used on Peri to remember her past. (AUDIO: Masters of Earth [+]Loading...["Masters of Earth (audio story)"])

The Doctor and Peri visited the College of Advanced Galactic Education so that the Doctor could get an honorary degree. She helped Lizzo when they encountered her after she was experimented on. After attending one of Professor Baxton's lectures, she followed her to the medical facility and she realised that Baxton was in fact the Rani in her new incarnation. Peri was subjected to another body-switching experience when an elderly Countess was transferred into her body, but listening to an audio diary Peri had made earlier forced the Countess to realise that what she and others were doing was wrong. Peri later gained an honorary degree in Botany. (AUDIO: The Rani Elite [+]Loading...["The Rani Elite (audio story)"])

When a signal was interfering with the TARDIS, she noticed that the TARDIS rotor was cracking. She used her botanical knowledge using the local plant life to deduce that they had landed in an African Jungle. They found the camp that Amanda Latimer's expedition was using. She used her status of the Queen of Krontep to negotiate for their release. She was taken by the B'lemyae with Siyanda. Peri realised that the B'lemyae's creation story meant that they had come from the space. She tried to rescue Kaylin but she was almost dragged over a cliff. (AUDIO: The Headless Ones [+]Loading...["The Headless Ones (audio story)"])

She went with the Doctor to Rusina to help in negotiate on behalf of Sandis-Fernis. She was arrested for not having a computer chip implanted into him. She didn't like the concept of social media. The Doctor and Peri both had a chip forcibly implanted in them and released into the custody of Christie. She initially declined to be part of an advertising campaign, but when their sub count did permitted her or the Doctor to see the governor she accepted it to get the subs. She was distressed at how Crompton manipulated the Doctor's message. She used her contact at Christie's to help Sandis-Fernis by creating a mini-advertising campaign. (AUDIO: Like [+]Loading...["Like (audio story)"])

Aiming for Metebelis IV, the Doctor and Peri landed on Earth encountering Myrna Kendal who said she knew them both, which delighted her as her mother watched all her films. She stopped the Doctor from wearing his own attire. She consoled Carolyn Sue May after she was chastised by Myrna. She was flung into the future be the time distortion. She realised that Myrna and Carolyn were forked versions of each other. (AUDIO: The Vanity Trap [+]Loading...["The Vanity Trap (audio story)"])

The Doctor and Peri went to Freudian Institute to undertake some therapy and were both assigned a Sigmund Freud to care for them. She told them about their exploration and dismissed that they were attracted to danger, after detailing their defeat of the Complex. She also retold how the Doctor wouldn't let her leave the TARDIS, then requested to be returned to Baltimore during the 1990s. When he suggested keeping her in a deep freeze to stop her from dying, she thought something was mentally wrong with the Doctor, and that's why they came to the institute. She was attacked by the Rorschach. She was sent to The Complex, Her story to her analyst was a fiction based on multiple previous adventures. (AUDIO: Conflict Theory [+]Loading...["Conflict Theory (audio story)"])

Possessed by Kiv[[edit] | [edit source]]

Another account suggested that Peri survived the assassination and continued to be possessed by the mind of Kiv until a new host body was selected. It was implied that her brain, which still housed Kiv's mind, was surgically transplanted into the new body by Cordelia Crozier. (PROSE: Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arodor [+]Loading...["Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arodor (novelisation)"])

The other permutations of Peri and the reasons for their creation were not specified by the Time Lord. (AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox [+]Loading...["Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)"])

Undated events[[edit] | [edit source]]

While travelling with the Sixth Doctor, Peri encountered the Fielding brothers in an adventure involving an exiled Draconian prince. (AUDIO: The Avenues of Possibility [+]Loading...["The Avenues of Possibility (audio story)"])

At some point, Peri was taken to the Black Archive by UNIT to have her record as a companion of the Doctor taken, her memories of the visit were subsequently erased and she was sent on her way. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"])

In March 2005, Peri wrote on the website Doctor Who? asking if anybody had information on the Doctor as she was interested in getting back in touch. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man? [+]Loading...["Have You Seen This Man? (short story)"])

Alternative timelines[[edit] | [edit source]]

In a parallel universe, the Valeyard accidentally killed the Fourth Doctor by time-ramming him, the Fifth Doctor was erased from existence, and thus Peri's first meeting with the Doctor was altered or dissolved. (AUDIO: He Jests at Scars... [+]Loading...["He Jests at Scars... (audio story)"])

In an alternate timeline created when Rassilon joined forces with the Cybermen, the Fifth Doctor and Peri landed on Skaro, the home planet of the Daleks, only to find it conquered by the Cybermen.

(COMIC: Supremacy of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Supremacy of the Cybermen (comic story)"])

The Doctor and Peri were almost forced to land at the Big Bang due to mysterious coordinates being sent to the TARDIS which the Doctor tried to investigate. Escaping the explosion, the Doctor and Peri arrived at a Vess warehouse, and learnt the full magnitude of the situation with the Seventh Doctor and Ace. The Seventh Doctor was melancholy when he saw her again, telling his younger self that he had never gotten used to time travel leading to his being reunited with old friends. However, Peri got along well with Ace. She was surprised that Ace referred to the Seventh Doctor as "Professor" but was amused when she referred to the Sixth Doctor as "Joseph," a reference to the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The Sixth Doctor and Peri went to investigate the higher levels where they found a delegation of Time Lords, however Peri vanished due to the Doctor’s travels being undone by the Master’s conceptual bomb. These events were erased when the detonation of the conceptual bomb was prevented by the Doctors and the First Doctor disabled the emergency system that had drawn some the Doctors to the Vess pocket dimension.

(PROSE: The Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (novelisation)"]) Peri was often exasperated with the Doctor's sixth incarnation (TV: Vengeance on Varos [+]Loading...["Vengeance on Varos (TV story)"]), but still cared for him and came to see her own hypocrisy. (TV: Attack of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)"], The Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (TV story)"], Revelation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)"], etc.) Over time, the two of them became more amicable with each other, (TV: The Mysterious Planet [+]Loading...["The Mysterious Planet (TV story)"]) especially after the death of Peri's mother. (AUDIO: The Reaping [+]Loading...["The Reaping (audio story)"])

Although she typically relied on the Doctor, she showed that she was intelligent, such as when she figured the poison must own a cure, (TV: The Caves of Androzani [+]Loading...["The Caves of Androzani (TV story)"]) and when tricked a Paradise 5 computer into giving her food and drink.

(TV: Planet of Fire [+]Loading...["Planet of Fire (TV story)"], Attack of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)"], Revelation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)"]) She also showed compassion for many, even on opponents such as Lytton. (TV: Attack of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)"]) She mourned the death of Kamelion even though he was an android, (TV: Planet of Fire [+]Loading...["Planet of Fire (TV story)"]) proved a capable one as a big sister figure to Erimem.

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Name[[edit] | [edit source]]

When asked about the name "Perpugilliam" in a 1986 interview, Nicola Bryant said:

I never warmed to the name Perpugilliam, but I like Peri as a name. John [Nathan-Turner] found it in a book. Apparently, in the Sixties, mothers in America were naming their children with particularly long ostentatious names. Obviously, John was using this to typify the kind of background that Peri had had, and the kind of mother she had.Nicola Bryant [DWM 119 [src]]

The 1995 Cornerstone trading card misspelt her name as "Perpugillium". The same typo was made in Dalek Combat Training Manual in 2021.

Perpugilliam is an old family name (PROSE: Players) and a family tradition. (PROSE: A Town Called Eternity)

In the audio story The Bride of Peladon, Peri claims her name means "she who lives in the hills".

In the short story A Handful of Stardust, Thomas Digges says that Perpugilliam is Latin for "by a handful". Digges ends A Perfit Description of the Caelestiall Orbes with the inscription "Per Pugilliam Pulvis Sidereus", which Peri translates as "by a handful of stardust".

BBV Productions[[edit] | [edit source]]

Using her actual English accent, Nicola Bryant played "Miss Brown" (who was never actually referred to by name on-screen), an obvious analogue to Peri, in three BBV Productions videos in the Stranger series: Summoned by Shadows, More Than a Messiah and In Memory Alone. Later videos in the series would make clear that the Stranger series did not take place in the Doctor Who universe and that Peri and Miss Brown had no connection with each other. Bryant also played Elenya "Ellie" Brown, the girlfriend of Colin Baker's character, TV weather forecaster Arnold "Arnie" Davis, in another BBV production, the non-Doctor Who The Airzone Solution.

Longevity[[edit] | [edit source]]

Counting audio and televised adventures together, Peri effectively shares the longest-serving companion title — both in terms of number of stories and recorded time — with Ace. As they are tied, the title essentially alternates as new stories are released. Her nearest rivals are Jamie McCrimmon, Charley Pollard and Nyssa. Nyssa's appearances are considerably more frequent than Jamie's so she represents the only potential threat to Peri and Ace's record-breaking number of appearances.

While she clearly eclipses the amount of time Sarah Jane Smith has been seen or heard as a companion, Peri is easily outpaced by the character of Sarah, due to Sarah's latter-day appearances as a solo character.

Peri was also incredibly prolific within the Sixth Doctor's era on television. Terror of the Vervoids is the only television story of that era in which she does not appear, though within that story, she is still mentioned.

American accent[[edit] | [edit source]]

While Peri is supposed to be an American, her English accent often slips and her American accent wanders between different regional accents. She sometimes uses phrases and pronunciations that Americans would not use, such as "lift" instead of the American "elevator".

Indeed, the Attack of the Cybermen DVD commentary maintained that it was mandated that Peri only use British slang to avoid confusing the audience. This may have worked for the British audience but, as Peter Davison pointed on on the DVD commentary for Planet of Fire, it had the opposite effect on American viewers. They could spot Bryant's fake American accent — or, really, any British actor's attempt at American — with ease. This was one of the principal reasons that Davison fought hard against adding an American companion to the show. This idiosyncrasy of language did not end with the TV series, as it can be heard in several audio dramas also.

According to Nicola Bryant on the DVD commentary for Planet of Fire, there was an active effort to cover up the fact that she was not, in fact, American. She recounted there how John Nathan-Turner insisted she use her American accent when making public appearances or appearances that could have been monitored by the press. At least during the recording of her earliest serials, like Planet of Fire, she was even required to use the American accent when she broke character between takes.

It's unclear how long this obfuscation lasted, but evidence for the subterfuge can be heard on a clip from Breakfast Time broadcast the day the first episode of The Twin Dilemma aired. During the interview, the interviewer asserted that as a "little girl in America" Bryant used to watch Doctor Who and dream of being a companion. Bryant, who used only a very mild English accent during the interview, failed to correct the interviewer or to even look as though the interviewer had made an error. Near the end of the 1984 production block — which is to say after the recording of Season 22, but probably slightly before its airing — Bryant gave a radio interview in which she used her natural British accent. (AUDIO: Doctor Who at the BBC Volume 3)

Relationship with her stepfather[[edit] | [edit source]]

The idea of Howard Foster sexually abusing Peri is one never considered by the production team on Planet of Fire and does not have resonance in audio and print literature beyond the novel Shell Shock. Nicola Bryant says that the idea, as envisioned by Fiona Cumming, Dallas Adams and her was to suggest that she and her stepfather had an appropriate but friendly relationship. Indeed, according to Bryant, Peri much preferred the company of Howard to that of her mother. (DCOM: Planet of Fire) However, the character of Peri (or at least one aspect of Peri) was still destined for an abusive relationship as revealed in AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox.
