Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Early life[[edit] | [edit source]]

Saibra was born with a mutant gene which caused her to shapeshift into any person she came into contact with. She came to view her power as a curse, as it caused people to distrust her since she would “look back at them out of their own eyes.” Saibra was thus alone even into adulthood. (TV: Time Heist)

Robbing the Bank of Karabraxos[[edit] | [edit source]]

As she was unable to control her ability, she helped the Twelfth Doctor rob the Bank of Karabraxos in order to gain a gene suppressant which would remove her powers. During the mission, she briefly impersonated Clara Oswald to demonstrate her power and impersonated a businessman named Mr Porrima to facilitate entering the bank before being cornered by the Teller. To prevent a painful death, Saibra activated one of the atomic shredders left by the Architect, apparently killing herself, followed by Psi soon after.

Saibra later returned with Psi, copying a security guard to rescue the Doctor and Clara after they were captured. The two revealed that the shredders had actually been teleports connected to a ship in orbit and aided in the rescue of the Teller and its mate. After the mission was successfully completed, Saibra shared a takeaway with the others before being returned to her own time and place. Having used the gene suppressant, Saibra was able to hug the Doctor without turning into him, something that she greatly enjoyed. (TV: Time Heist)

Abilities[[edit] | [edit source]]
