After her [[regeneration]], '''Romana''' continued to travel with the Doctor for a time until she decided to stay in [[E-Space]] after the TARDIS had accidentally fallen into it, and had adventures during their quest to find a way back to their home universe. She later returned to her [[N-Space|home universe]] and rose to the office of [[Lord President|Lady President]] of the [[High Council]] of [[Gallifrey]].
'''Romanadvoratrelundar''' ('''Romana''' for short) was a [[Time Lord]] and [[companion]] of the [[Fourth Doctor]], having begun travelling with him in [[Romana I|her first incarnation]].
 
Leaving [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] with [[K9 Mark II]] to assist the [[Tharil]]s in [[E-Space]], Romana eventually returned to [[Gallifrey]] and became [[Lord President|President]] with the goal of liberalising the planet, culminating in the [[Gallifreyan Civil War]]. Following the war, she was re-elected but later [[resignation|resigned]] and acted as [[Coordinator]] of the [[Celestial Intervention Agency|CIA]] during the [[Last Great Time War]] until its dissolution.

=== Regeneration ===
=== Regeneration ===
After enduring being tortured by [[the Shadow]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'') and the strain of the [[Key to Time]] being absorbed into her, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Chaos Pool (audio story)|The Chaos Pool]]'') [[Romana I]] began to [[Regeneration|regenerate]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]'')
{{main|Romana I's regeneration}}
Various accounts gave different reasons for Romana's first [[regeneration]], in which she tried various genetic configurations before settling on her "definitive" second self. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Original Sin (novel)}}) Romana seemed carefree as she tried on these various bodies, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)}}) and one account claimed that she had regenerated purely "for the fun of it". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|City of Death (novelisation)}}) This cavalier attitude to regeneration was not uncommon among children of [[Newblood]] houses. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Book of the War (novel)}})


However, Romana was actually trapped in the [[TARDIS wardrobe]] by [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] when she began to [[regeneration|regenerate]]. The TARDIS did this so it could assume her new form to play a joke on the Doctor. After settling on a form identical to [[Astra of Atrios|Princess Astra]], the TARDIS had an adventure with the Doctor that involved [[Davros]] and the [[Dalek]]s. The TARDIS then helped Romana complete her regeneration into Astra's form. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe (short story)|The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe]]'')
However, other accounts, while agreeing that she voluntarily chose to regenerate, ascribed it a more utilitarian motive: to purge the malicious influence of Pandora, which had begun to resurface after her ordeal with [[the Shadow]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Lies (audio story)}}) Yet another account claimed that the strain of the [[Key to Time]] was absorbed into her after leaving Princess [[Astra of Atrios]], prompting her regeneration; ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Chaos Pool (audio story)}}) Romana's second incarnation was unaware of the exact details of her regeneration for most of her life. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Chaos Pool (audio story)}}, {{cs|Lies (audio story)}})


Romana could not remember the exact details of her regeneration, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Chaos Pool (audio story)|The Chaos Pool]]'', ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'') believing that she had regenerated for the fun of it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[City of Death (novelisation)|City of Death]]'')
Due to her exceptional performance at the [[Time Lord Academy]], Romana had great control over her regeneration, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks (novelisation)}}) and was able to try out several bodies before settling on a form identical to that of [[Astra of Atrios]], having thought that the body had "looked very good" on Astra. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)}})


=== Travels ===
Yet another account claimed the transformation itself was facilitated by the TARDIS and took place inside a force field in the ship; the metamorphoses witnessed by the Doctor were not Romana at all, but the TARDIS itself adopting Romana's form and trying to replace her as the Doctor's companion in a fit of [[jealousy]]. Realising her mistake after one adventure, the ship helped the real Romana complete her regeneration (''sans'' interim bodies) and freed her. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe (short story)}})
Romana went to [[Paris]] in [[1979]] where she and the Doctor stopped [[Scaroth]] from preventing the evolution of humanity. She enjoyed the trip to Paris before they encountered Scaroth and became embroiled in his plan to use the [[Mona Lisa]] and copies of the painting to fund his [[time travel]] experiments. ([[TV]]: ''[[City of Death (TV story)|City of Death]]'')
[[File: 'top the tower.jpg|thumb|The Doctor and Romana talk with [[Duggan]] on the top of the [[Eiffel Tower]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[City of Death (TV story)|City of Death]]'')]]


On [[Chloris]], she was captured by a party of bandits. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Creature from the Pit (TV story)|The Creature from the Pit]]'')
=== Travels in the TARDIS ===
==== Evading the Black Guardian ====
{{Section stub|[[Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen (novelisation)]]}}
Still using the [[randomiser]] to evade the [[Black Guardian]], Romana's first adventure was on [[Skaro]] where she was captured and interrogated by the [[Dalek]]s and made to work as a [[slave]] before using her [[respiratory bypass system]] to feign death and escape. She met [[Davros]] and assisted the Doctor in defeating the Daleks, the [[Movellan]]s and freeing the slaves. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)}})


During a game of [[Monopoly (game)|monopoly]], she noticed that the TARDIS had landed. On leaving the TARDIS, she saw that she was on the edge of a simulated gravity field, learning it was the [[Rock of Judgement]] the prison asteroid of the [[Uva Beta Uva]] system. Joining in with [[Frank Spiggot]]'s investigation on the prison, she became involved in the complex scheme that the executed [[Xais]] used to resurrect herself and take control of a store of [[helicon]] on a mining planet. She discovered this was through [[Menlove Stokes]]' death mask of Xias. When [[Margo]], the person that Xais used, died the station manager forced the mask on Romana. She managed to overcome the possession in time, due to being a Time Lord, to help the Doctor stop Xias. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Romance of Crime (novel)|The Romance of Crime]]'')  
Romana and the Doctor thwarted [[Gevaunt]]'s plan to make [[human]]s edible to [[Quoll]]s ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Victims (comic story)}}) and, after attempting to make repairs to the TARDIS, landed in [[51st century]] [[Reykjavik]] where she gave [[Magnus Greel]] the idea of time travel and gave him a card for a plastic surgeon in [[1998]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Under Reykjavik (short story)}}) With [[K9 Mark II|K9]], the two Time Lords responded to a distress call from the ''[[Karsudan]]'' and repaired the ship. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|All Snug in Their Beds (short story)}}) They also visited [[Arkinen]] and decided to head to [[Paris]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Old Rogue (audio story)}})


Realising that the Doctor had bypassed the Randomiser in order to return some overdue library books, she became cross with him as she was worried that the Black Guardian would be able to find them. Upon landing, she realised that there were time warmed chronons in the atmosphere and went to locate the source. Following the readings through London, she met with [[Percy Closed]] who told her about his club of people from the future. Thinking that she was going to arrest him, he sent her on a fool's errand to [[Nutchurch]]. Here, she discovered the time corridor that they used and that there was something was blocking the corridor, which was the spaceship of [[Zodaal]]. She was then told by Zodaal that because of how he had split himself to escape he would stop the other half from destroying the world. This was a ruse, and she accidentally accelerated Zodaal's plan and gave him secrets of Gallifreyan time travel in the process. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The English Way of Death (novel)|The English Way of Death]]'')  
[[File:Romana proposal.JPG|thumb|left|Romana, with the help of the [[Prime Computer]], coaxes the Doctor into proposing marriage. ([[TV]]: {{cs|On Through the 80's! (TV story)}})]]
Romana's feelings towards the Doctor become romantic, but she did not communicate this directly. Instead she acquired a [[Prime Computer]], a powerful sentient machine also used on Gallifrey, and installed it in the TARDIS. It helped them to calculate the orbital [[coordinate]]s of [[900 (number)|nine hundred]] planets in the constellation of [[Kasterborous]], averting the [[end of the universe]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Step Into the 80's! (TV story)}}) Later, when the Doctor found a way to increase the Prime's power, and discussed using it for various tasks such as designing ships and running power stations, Romana told him to "Ask it how to handle a woman." The Prime instructed him: "MARRY THE GIRL, DOCTOR." The Doctor proposed to Romana, who accepted, and together they praised the computer. When Romana was taken hostage by aliens from [[Liprogopolis]], who demanded the name of "the supreme computer", she told the Doctor not to reveal anything; however, when he told them it was a Prime, they freed her immediately, as they merely want to purchase one themselves. ([[TV]]: {{cs|On Through the 80's! (TV story)}})


When two spaceships, the ''[[Empress (Nightmare of Eden)|Empress]]'' and the ''[[Hecate (spaceship)|Hecate]]'', collided, she helped separate them. She also helped to uncover a drug smuggling plot involving the lethal drug [[vraxoin]], via [[Tryst]]'s [[Continuous Event Transmuter]] and the [[Mandrel]]s it contained. ([[TV]]: ''[[Nightmare of Eden (TV story)|Nightmare of Eden]]'')
Arrving in Paris in [[1979]], Romana and the Doctor enjoyed the city before uncovering [[Scaroth]]'s plan to use the ''[[Mona Lisa]]'' and a number of copies to fund his [[time travel]] experiments. She provided Scaroth with time travel technology but, after realising her mistake, helped the Doctor stop him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|City of Death (TV story)}})


Romana also helped prevent the [[Nimon]] from continuing their cycle of taking over planets by posing as gods. She travelled to [[Crinoth]] and met [[Sezom]], the sole survivor of the people there who had formerly welcomed the Nimon in the hope they would give them higher technology, only to realise too late the Nimon were parasitic nomads who consumed them and their world. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Horns of Nimon (TV story)|The Horns of Nimon]]'')
[[File: 'top the tower.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and Romana talk with [[Duggan]] on the top of the [[Eiffel Tower]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|City of Death (TV story)}})]]


The Doctor and Romana landed on the [[Myriad]] that was looking for the Doctor. The Doctor told her that the ship was in the constellation of [[Kasterborous]], which she was delighted at but she had by this time decided that she didn't want to go back to [[Gallifrey]]. She was fascinated when she met [[CAIN]] as she hadn't seen an artificial intelligence with a working fungoid brain before. She later told [[Suri]] about the [[Pyralis]] and helped to defeat them. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Pyralis Effect (audio story)|The Pyralis Effect]]'')
On a planet made of confectionery, Romana realised it was K9's birthday. After defeating an alliance made up of [[the Master]], the Daleks and the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], she returned to him with a [[sponge cake]] to celebrate, although after it came to life they allowed it to live out its life on the confectionery planet. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Not-So-Sinister Sponge (short story)}}) At the [[end of the universe]], the Doctor gave Romana the universe's last [[Rolo]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Do You Love Anyone Enough? (short story)}}) before they left [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] a [[Christmas]] present ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Better Watch Out, Better Take Care (short story)}}) and ruminated on the nature of their lives. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Playing with Toys (short story)}})


She was initially annoyed when they landed in what appeared to be [[Rome]] again saying that there was no point in the Randomiser if it was going to take them to places they already had been in. Looking around, she discovered that it wasn't Rome but a theme park [[Luna Romana (theme park)|Luna Romana]]. After being menaced by androids, she lost the Doctor but came across [[Stoyn]] in the command centre. She was impressed that Stoyn had created a matrix facet on the moon. When the facet broke, Romana travelled through it on her own orders from a slightly older version of herself through the time tunnel it created back into her own past. The first thing she did in the past was to release the bear that was used in the play. She then entered the older version of the TARDIS and returned to the moon. She stopped Stoyn but had to escape to Rome to avoid the army of androids on the moon. She later teased him about his reputation on Gallifrey as he is now a by word for making a mistake when piloting the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Luna Romana (audio story)|Luna Romana]]'')
Romana, the Doctor and K9 attended [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]]'s recoronation and were pointed out by the Brigadier to his wife, [[Doris Lethbridge-Stewart|Doris]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Dying Days (novel)}}) and an academic conference on [[Mars]] where they passed [[Bernice Summerfield]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Beige Planet Mars (novel)}}) They returned to Paris in [[2000]] where they defeated [[Taureau]] ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Forgotten (comic story)}}) and met [[Kaj Jepperson]] in [[30th century]] [[Prague]] to stop his time experiments. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The End of Now (short story)}}) On a [[Kroton (species)|Kroton]] ship, Romana and the Doctor encountered the Krotons, [[Quark]]s and [[Ogron]]s from a different universe. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Lost Dimension (comic story)}})


The Doctor and Romana went to [[Cambridge]] in [[1979]], intending to meet Professor [[Chronotis]]. The Doctor and Romana couldn't bring K9 to see him as they went [[punt]]ing. At that point, while they were on a punt up the [[River Cam]], ([[WC]]: ''[[Shada (webcast)|Shada]]'') the Doctor's first four incarnations, along with their companions, were taken by a [[time scoop]] to the [[Death Zone]] on Gallifrey. The Doctor and Romana were caught in a [[time eddy]] and failed to arrive in the Death Zone. They were released several hours later once [[Borusa]] was sealed in the [[Tomb of Rassilon]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')
On [[Chloris]], Romana was captured by a party of bandits. She became involved in [[Adrasta|Lady Adrasta]]'s plans to kill the [[Tythonian]] [[ambassador]] [[Erato]] when she made the mistake of showing what K9 could do. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Creature from the Pit (TV story)}})


The Doctor, having gone "nowhere" for several hours, went back to the TARDIS, demanding everyone to put their bathing suits on as they were going to [[Brighton]]. The Doctor and Romana, though retaining memories of the punting trip, had forgotten they intended to visit Chronotis. The Doctor said that they had intended to be back "before lights out", but "went on somewhere else", according to Romana, after only being away from the TARDIS for two hours and twenty-one minutes. ([[WC]]: ''[[Shada (webcast)|Shada]]'')
After the TARDIS landed on the [[Rock of Judgement]], Romana assisted in [[Frank Spiggot]]'s investigation into the prison, involving the two in [[Xais]]'s attempted [[resurrection]]. The station manager attempted to force the mask that would resurrect her onto Romana, but her Gallifreyan status allowed her to overcome the [[possession]] and assist the Doctor in defeating Xais. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Romance of Crime (novel)}})


When the TARDIS flew through the [[Time Spiral]], Romana and the Doctor landed on [[Barclow]] during a war. The Doctor and Romana were separated after a missile landed near their position. She was then captured and taken to be interrogated. In the human barracks, she encountered [[Menlove Stokes]]. She realised that the colony of [[Metralubit]] was going against developmental theory as they had fast space travel but no transmats. She became K9's campaign manager and researched the history of Matralubit. During her research, she realised that the society on the planet was periodically wiped out every 2000 years and this was starting again with the riots on the planet. She tried to persuade [[Liris]] of this but was told to stop the research. [[Galatea (The Well-Mannered War)|Galatea]] wanted her to be reconditioned and tried to do so, but wasn't sure if it was going to hold. She thought that the [[Femdroid]]s were their enemy and tried to persuade [[Harmock]] of the truth. Romana realised that the technology was created from the memories which Stokes had of the Rock of Judgement. A hologram of Galatea told her of why there was no body on the planet, it was a plan to stop [[The Darkness (The Well-Mannered War)|the Darkness]]. Travelling back to Barclow, she explained the Femdroids' plan to the soldiers. She realised that the Doctor was going to use the TARDIS to place the Darkness into deep space. She was caught in the [[Black Guardian]]'s trap. She became angry when Stoke programmed the TARDIS to go to [[Dellah]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Well-Mannered War (novel)|The Well-Mannered War]]'')  
Realising that the Doctor had bypassed the [[Randomiser]] in order to return some overdue library books, she became cross with him as she was worried that the Black Guardian would be able to find them. Landing in [[London]], she discovered a [[time tunnel]] being used by humans that was blocked by [[Zodaal]]'s space ship. She accidentally accelerated Zodaal's plan and gave him secrets of Gallifreyan time travel in the process. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The English Way of Death (novel)}})


The Doctor and Romana decided to stay in their house in London in [[June]] [[1964]] whilst K9 led the Black Guardian on another wild goose chase through time. When K9 returned he was affected by a wave cancellation frequency modulator. Romana went with the Doctor to find the source of the signal. She went shopping with [[Jill Lanchaster]] after sarcastically suggesting it. When she started getting a headache, she worked out that Jill was a [[Vardan]]. Tricking her into a television store, Romana stole back the equipment which Jill initially stole. Returning to the scientific lab, she rebuilt the wave cancellation frequency modulator. She plugged it into the transmitters at [[Mark Lanchaster]]'s pirate radio and with K9's help they cancelled out the Vardan invasion force. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Wave of Destruction (audio story)|Wave of Destruction]]'')
When two spaceships, the ''[[Empress (Nightmare of Eden)|Empress]]'' and the ''[[Hecate (spaceship)|Hecate]]'', collided, Romana helped separate them. She also helped to uncover a drug-smuggling plot involving the lethal drug [[vraxoin]] via [[Tryst]]'s [[Continuous Event Transmuter]] and the [[Mandrel]]s it contained. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nightmare of Eden (TV story)}})


The Doctor and Romana landed in [[Budapest]] in [[1980]] in order to take in the sights. In a cafe, she was disturbed by [[Zoltán Frid]] acting in a strange manner in her presence. After seeing an exsanguinated body, she searched the vicinity for traces of blood. After going to [[Anita Kereki]]'s flat, she examined the blood that she had extracted from the dead body and observed it was still living. Upon observing Frid attacking a woman in Kereki's apartment she theorised that Frid wasn't a [[vampire]] but was a being that was created via a [[morphic field]] from another vampire species. She thought she could use the mutate soldier to stop Frid. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Labyrinth of Buda Castle (audio story)|The Labyrinth of Buda Castle]]'')
The Doctor and Romana landed on the ''[[Myriad (spaceship)|Myriad]]'' that was looking for the Doctor. The Doctor told her that the ship was in the constellation of [[Kasterborous]], which she was delighted at but she had by this time decided that she did not want to go back to [[Gallifrey]]. She was fascinated when she met [[CAIN]] as she had not seen an artificial intelligence with a working fungoid brain before. She later told [[Suri]] about the [[Pyralis]] and helped to defeat them. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Pyralis Effect (audio story)}})


She tried to get the Doctor to stop practising the [[violin]]. When a [[Time Tank]] collided with the TARDIS, she was caught in the dimensional interface and went with the Time Tank's occupants back to [[Aoris]]' past. When she exited the Time Tank, she was arrested by [[Shola]] and taken to [[Embery (The Paradox Planet)|Embery]]. Romana was told that she was in an animal sanctuary and that they were in [[Era 14]]. Embery showed her the bombs that he was using to attack the future. She told Embery after he asked for her help, that she was a Time Lord and as such she was bound by the policy of non-intervention and couldn't permit his people to discover time travel. K9 came in time to stop Embery and Shola, and Romana ordered K9 to deactivate the bomb. She then worked with Embery and Shola to help their experiments. This was a ruse to allow her to escape but Shola followed her into the TARDIS. She arrived on Era 24 and was taken by [[Lostar (The Paradox Planet)|Lostar]] to see [[Machina]] only to find it was K9. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Paradox Planet (audio story)|The Paradox Planet]]'')  
Romana prevented the [[Nimon]] from continuing their cycle of taking over planets by posing as [[god]]s. She travelled to [[Crinoth]] and met [[Sezom]], the sole survivor of the people there who had formerly welcomed the Nimon in the hope they would give them higher technology, only to realise too late the Nimon were parasitic nomads who consumed them and their world. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Horns of Nimon (TV story)}})


K9 told Romana about the Doctor's actions in the past. Using K9's fanatics, she searched for the Doctor. This involved climbing through a set of ventilation shafts into the command bunker. Following this, they went back to Era 14 to try and stop Drang's attack. [[Medea (The Paradox Planet)|Medea]] told Romana that she had placed bombs which should kill the future army. Back in Era 24, she helped to stop the war so that the planet could then be restored. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Legacy of Death (audio story)|Legacy of Death]]'')
She was initially annoyed when they landed in what appeared to be [[Rome]], saying that there was no point in the randomiser if it was going to take them to places they already had been in, but discovered that it was the [[Luna Romana (theme park)|Luna Romana]] theme park. She stopped [[Stoyn]] from changing time. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Luna Romana (audio story)}})


Landing in [[Brighton]] in [[1833]], too early for the [[Brighton Pavilion]], the Doctor planed to stay around for the opening, Romana initially planned to visit the sites of Europe and popular figures of the age. Noticing that there was a waxworks in town, both Romana and the Doctor went to visit it. At [[Mary Barnes]]' waxworks, she spotted [[Goole]] stealing a waxwork of [[Marie Antoinette]], but he was impaled and went back to get help. After Goole disappeared, she went back to tell the Doctor. She went with him the Goole's Gallery of Ghouls and learnt that Goole was a wax creature. She was caught up in an explosion but she managed to escape via the drains. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gallery of Ghouls (audio story)|Gallery of Ghouls]]'')  
Romana and the Doctor decided to stay in their house in London in [[June]] [[1964]] whilst K9 led the Black Guardian on another wild goose chase through time. He returned having been affected by a wave-cancellation frequency modulator, which the two Time Lords investigated. Romana discovered that [[Jill Lanchaster]] was a [[Vardan]] and later cancelled-out the Vardan invasion force by plugging the modulator into [[Mark Lanchaster]]'s pirate [[radio]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Wave of Destruction (audio story)}})


Romana warned him not to return to Brighton soon after their previous visit. She became worried when an outside influence dragged the TARDIS off course, fearing that it was the Black Guardian. It turned out to be [[Drax]], who insulted her previous incarnation. Drax used her as collateral to force the Doctor to help him. After she escaped, K9 told her that there was a second energy field in operation in addition to the [[temporal grace]] field. She worked out that it was a body scrambler field. She worked out that the butler on the ship was also Drax, which was why Drax mistook her for Princess [[Astra of Atrios]]. She later realised that the ship on which she was imprisoned was owned by another version of Drax. When she was told that Drax was using the Doctor as a scapegoat, she became very annoyed as Drax was interfering with time. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Trouble with Drax (audio story)|The Trouble with Drax]]'')  
Romana and the Doctor landed in [[Budapest]] in [[1980]] in order to take in the sights and defeated the [[vampire]]-like [[Zoltán Frid]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Labyrinth of Buda Castle (audio story)}}) After arriving in [[Aoris]]'s past due to the TARDIS's collision with a [[Time Tank]], Romana and K9 prevented a civilisation from discovering time travel and deactivated a bomb. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Paradox Planet (audio story)}}) They searched for the Doctor and prevented [[Drang]]'s attack. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Legacy of Death (audio story)}})


She went with K9 to search for the [[Ecidien Cerebus Bird]] and found it in the heart of the TARDIS. Shortly afterwards, she was taken by a [[Laan]] which escaped from the [[Conglomerate]]. The Laan took her through the Vortex and Romana nearly died but she was deposited on a Space Platform. She found out from the [[Conglom-Net Computer]] that the Laan was being used to power the [[Quantum Gateway]]. Mr [[Dorrick]] informed her that the Time Engine was killing the Laan and that he wanted her to fix the engines. She tracked the energy from the time engine and saw that it was powering a historic paradox. Further searching through the systems, she worked out that the historical paradox source was [[Cuthbert (The Sands of Life)|Cuthbert]]. Dorrick placed her in a chamber to become the pilot of the Time Engine. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Pursuit of History (audio story)|The Pursuit of History]]'')  
[[File:Punt.jpg|thumb|right|Romana and the Doctor in Cambridge. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Shada (TV story)}})]]
The Doctor and Romana went to [[Cambridge]] in [[1979]], intending to meet [[Chronotis|Professor Chronotis]]. Whilst punting up the [[River Cam]], ([[WC]]: {{cs|Shada (webcast)}}) the Doctor's first four incarnations, along with their companions, were taken by a [[time scoop]] to the [[Death Zone]] on Gallifrey. The Doctor and Romana were caught in a [[time eddy]] and failed to arrive in the Death Zone. They were released several hours later once {{Latham}} was sealed in the [[Tomb of Rassilon]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}})


She didn't have sufficient exposure to the [[Time Vortex]] to pilot the engine. The Conglom-Net computer created an avatar of Romana and placed it in the Time Engine to help the Laan. She theorised that the computer could create Laan avatars which would fix the engine but this was flawed when the avatars would be only of the debilitated Laan. After discovering the [[Black Guardian]] had created Cuthbert, she realised that stopping Cuthbert would create chaos. After creating the avatar of the Doctor which wiped the Doctor's mind, the Ecidien Cerebus Bird took the Doctor and restored his memory. She theorised that the Doctor and the Bird were linked. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Casualties of Time (audio story)|Casualties of Time]]'')  
The Doctor, having gone "nowhere" for several hours, went back to the TARDIS, demanding everyone to put their bathing suits on as they were going to [[Brighton]]. The Doctor and Romana, though retaining memories of the punting trip, had forgotten they intended to visit Chronotis. The Doctor said that they had intended to be back "before lights out", but "went on somewhere else", according to Romana, after only being away from the TARDIS for two hours and twenty-one minutes. ([[WC]]: {{cs|Shada (webcast)}})


After arriving in London in [[1899]], she helped the Doctor track an energy pulse to the [[New Regency Theatre]] and watched K9 perform an act as camouflage. [[George Litefoot]] asked for her opinion on a dead body in the morgue which had been mauled. She went with Litefoot and [[Percival Quick]] to a pharmacy which had been robbed to determine if any drugs had been taken. After the TARDIS was stolen, she tracked it to [[Nicholas Asquin]]'s house and found the Doctor was there already. She then went with Litefoot and K9 to an opium den to find Asquin. By the time they got there, Asquin had started to attack the locals in his Kravenos state. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Beast of Kravenos (audio story)|The Beast of Kravenos]]'')
The Doctor and Romana were asked by the [[Ra'ra'vis]] [[Tigil]] and [[Kemos]] to retrieve a psychic sales voucher stolen by Mrs [[Oppenheimer-Mason]] in [[1985]] [[New York City]]. While Romana distracted Mrs Oppenheimer-Mason, the Doctor was able to swipe the voucher from her dog, and return it to the Ra'ra'vis. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Time Lady of Means (comic story)}})


Planning to take Romana to a pencil museum in the [[Lake District]], the Doctor instead landed in a battlefield. Shortly afterwards, she was attacked by a humanoid but was rescued by a troop of [[Sontaran]]s. She later thought that the Sontarans were scared. She noticed that there were lights in the sky and this was the same light that revived a savage Sontaran. Romana told [[Lenk (The Eternal Battle)|Lenk]] that she needed to observe the resurrected [[Varn (The Eternal Battle)|Varn]], so that she could work out what was the cause of this affliction. Her hypothesis that the cause of the zombie was temporal in nature when K9 traced Chronons in Varn. She tried to cauterise Lenk's wounds to stop him from becoming a zombie. When the zombies attacked, she locked herself in a blast chamber. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Eternal Battle (audio story)|The Eternal Battle]]'')  
The Doctor, Romana and K-9 went on holiday to [[Cimmerian II]], she and K9 spent three days trying to find souvenir but couldn't find one. During the Doctor's stint as a witness in the trial for the destruction of Earth, her time sensitiveness meant that she could detect the [[Children of Pyxis]], but didn't know who they were. She tried to claim that the Children of Pyxis was after them but [[Perigord Trent]] didn't believe him. She went to find evidence that [[Skorpios]] used the Children of Pyxis. She worked out the creatures that were sent to attack him were [[Libort]]s so could distract them with the fine wine in the cellar. This escape caused Skorpios to sent another set of assassins after him. She learnt that [[Smilax]]'s true interest in rescuing Earth was to turn it into a habitat for Hobkinson's Greater White-Crested Spergasaurians. She took Trent to earth to get evidence. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Doomsday Contract (audio story)}})


After they arrived in [[Hollywood]] in [[1930]], she became annoyed that the Doctor wanted to visit [[Lorretta Waldorf]]. When she got there, she found out that Loretta was scared of losing her voice. When the celluoids attacked, Romana became intrigued. She went with Lorretta when [[Julius (The Silent Scream)|Julius]] took her to his medical institute. Julius informed her that his clinic specialised in keeping film stars young. She heard the voices in the facility and found the recordings of all the actresses who had their voices taken. K9 managed to stop her from being attacked by the voices. After finding out what happened to the Doctor, she confronted Julius. With the help of Lorretta and the rest of the actors, she started a mob to rescue the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Silent Scream (audio story)|The Silent Scream]]'')  
Landing in Brighton in [[1833]], too early for the [[Brighton Pavilion]], the Doctor planed to stay around for the opening, Romana initially planned to visit the sites of Europe and popular figures of the age. At [[Mary Barnes]]' waxworks, she spotted [[Goole]] stealing a waxwork of [[Marie Antoinette]] and went with the Doctor to Goole's Gallery of Ghouls and learnt that Goole was a wax creature. She was caught up in an explosion but she managed to escape via the drains. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Gallery of Ghouls (audio story)}})


Romana wanted the Doctor to use the randomiser again and switched it on. This piloted the TARDIS to a submarine in the [[1940s]] which was suspended in space. She thought something was odd when the crew had knowledge of space and was repeating their words. She was amazed at the speed at which the [[chimpanzee]] [[Franklin (Dethras)|Franklin]] was gaining speech. She tried to persuade [[Flague]] that her actions were futile but this didn't work and she was used as a hostage. She got away with Franklin by using the telepathy to make Flague believe that they had both been killed. Using an escape pod, she located the TARDIS and rescued the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dethras (audio story)|Dethras]]'')  
Romana warned the Doctor not to return to Brighton too soon after their previous visit. She was used as a hostage by [[Drax]] as part of his eleven incarnations' elaborate con to have the Doctor steal and return a [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect limiter]], being appalled at Drax's irresponsibility once she deduced what was going on. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Trouble with Drax (audio story)}}) [[Dorrick|Mr Dorricl]] placed Romana in a chamber to become the pilot of the [[Laan]]'s [[time engine]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Pursuit of History (audio story)}}) but she did not have sufficient exposure to the [[Time Vortex]]. She later learnt that the Black Guardian was involved. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Casualties of Time (audio story)}})


The Doctor arrived in Brighton, but in the wrong season. K9 was damaged badly when he tried to retrieve a ball Romana was playing with from the water. Romana visited the [[Leisure Hive]], where she was present at the aborted rebirth of [[Argolin]] civilisation. Despite her protests, the Doctor removed the randomiser from the TARDIS, making them vulnerable to the Black Guardian finding them again. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Leisure Hive (TV story)|The Leisure Hive]]'')
On [[Barclow]], Romana and the Doctor were separated after a [[missile]] landed near their position, after which Romana was captured and met [[Menlove Stokes]] again. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Well-Mannered War (novel)}}) After arriving in London in [[1899]], she helped the Doctor track an energy pulse to the [[New Regency Theatre]] and later assisted [[George Litefoot]] and [[Percival Quick]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Beast of Kravenos (audio story)}}) Planning to take Romana to a pencil museum in the [[Lake District]], the Doctor instead landed in a battlefield where they encountered the [[Sontaran]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Eternal Battle (audio story)}})


After arriving in London in [[1922]], the Doctor and Romana stayed in Baker Street for a while. Whilst there, she heard noises from the attic but the Doctor told her not to investigate. Travelling to Kent with the Doctor, she met [[Ned Talbot]] and didn't believe he could see ghosts. She wanted to know why [[Beatrice (The Haunting of Malkin Place)|Beatrice]] screamed. When the Doctor disappeared in a seance, she located him drowning in the marsh. She confronted Beatrice about a secret in the house. When the Doctor went back in time to stop [[Maurice (The Haunting of Malkin Place)|Maurice]] from travelling forward in time, she stopped Beatrice from holding Maurice back which would have removed him from time. When the Doctor returned he told her that he had waited for five years and she realised that he was the noises that she heard in the attic. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Haunting of Malkin Place (audio story)|The Haunting of Malkin Place]]'')  
In [[Hollywood]] [[1930]], she confronted [[Julius (The Silent Scream)|Julius]] about his clinic that specialised in keeping film-stars young and started a mob to rescue the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Silent Scream (audio story)}}) Romana wanted the Doctor to use the randomiser again and switched it on, taking them to a submarine in the [[1940s]] that was suspended in space where she again saved the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dethras (audio story)}})


The TARDIS landed underground and was soon captured by a drill town. Romana found it annoying that the Doctor had switched off the safety features of the TARDIS. She was captured and interrogated by [[Maxwell Wilberforce Bell]]. She would have been placed in the furnace as fuel if his wife didn't want Romana as her maid. Romana wanted to know why the Bells lived underground and why there was only a few drill town left. When the [[Silex]] arrived, she stayed on the ship whilst the Doctor went to get an gadget. She discovered that it was the Silex who destroyed the surface and realised that the Silex would destroy their own ecosystem. She was to be converted into a Silex. She managed to escape and was reunited with the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Subterranea (audio story)|Subterranea]]'')  
At one point, Romana had a [[Prime Computer]] brought to the TARDIS, and showed the Doctor its abilities, including calculating the length of the Doctor's scarf and suggesting to him that he should marry Romana. Romana was then kidnapped by the [[Liprogopolisian]]s, who wanted a Primce Computer for themselves. She was safely returned to the TARDIS afterwards. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Step Into the 80's! (TV story)}})


Staying again at Baker Street in [[1980]], she viewed a local news channel where a [[Movellan]] power pack was uncovered. Romana and the Doctor went with the finder of the artefact, [[Carrie Pierce]], to discover more about it. At the dig site, she scanned the outline of the [[Movellan ship]]. After [[Narina]] brought it to the service, she went on board and saw the anti-Dalek weapon [[Chenek]]. She tried to convince the humans that there was danger. She helped the Doctor reprogramme Chenek to remove his Movellan militaristic programming and give him free will. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Movellan Grave (audio story)|The Movellan Grave]]'')  
The Doctor arrived in Brighton, but in the wrong season. Bored and with K9 out of action after going in the sea, Romana suggested they visit the [[Leisure Hive]]. There, they prevented the rebirth of [[Argolin]] civilisation. Despite her protests, the Doctor removed the randomiser from the TARDIS, making them vulnerable to the Black Guardian finding them again. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Leisure Hive (TV story)}})


She was dragged away with a current on [[Funderell]]. She was rescued by [[Rolf (The Skin of the Sleek)|Rolf]] and taken to see [[Greygul]]. Shortly after, she encountered [[Sartia]], an old friend from the Time Lord Academy. Romana wouldn't admit to Sartia why she left Gallifrey. Finding a book written in [[Gallifreyan (language)|Old High Gallifreyan]] she was placed in a chamber with a large electric eel. She got agitated when Sartia killed the local's god. She theorised that the Time Lords placed the village as a guard and Sartia wanted academic glory. She spent her time breaking the codes of the grade 1 files Sartia stole. Sartia abandoned her in the middle of nowhere to die. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Skin of the Sleek (audio story)|The Skin of the Sleek]]'')

After arriving in London in [[1922]], Romana and the Doctor stayed at [[Baker Street]] for some time. Travelling to [[Kent]], the two investigated and solved a case of alleged [[ghost]]ly activity at [[Malkin Place]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Haunting of Malkin Place (audio story)}}) The TARDIS later materialised underground where it was captured by a [[drill]] town, after which Romana was interrogated by [[Maxwell Wilberforce Bell]]. She was to be converted into a [[Silex]] but managed to escape and reunite with the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Subterranea (audio story)}}) Staying again at Baker Street in [[1980]], the two looked into a [[Movellan ship]] and found [[Chenek]], an anti-[[Dalek]] weapon. She helped the Doctor reprogram him to remove his Movellan programming and give him free will. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Movellan Grave (audio story)}})


She walked across the surface of the planet and saw something in the sea. After seeing a vision of  [[Blujaw Skaldson]], she was rescued by [[Linnis Skaldson]]. They were both stranded in the sea until the Doctor surfed towards him. All three of them made their way to [[Frithra]]'s hut. She became worried about Sartia when she got the orb. Sartia tried to change the timelines by getting into Romana's head. This resulted in Sartia getting the TARDIS key. Romana wanted to know why Sartia murdered people and how she was bad at the academy. She realised the TARDIS couldn't cope with Sartia's changes. She noticed that the timelines were knotted up and they were pulling against each other. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Thief Who Stole Time (audio story)|The Thief Who Stole Time]]'')  
On [[Funderell]], Romana was rescued from a current by [[Rolf (The Skin of the Sleek)|Rolf]] and taken to see [[Greygul]], where she encountered her old friend [[Sartia]] from the [[Time Lord Academy]]. She broke into Sartia's stolen files and was later left by her in the middle of nowhere to die. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Skin of the Sleek (audio story)}}) However, she survived and reunited with the Doctor, with whom she defeated Sartia. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Thief Who Stole Time (audio story)}})


On [[Tigella]], Romana freed herself from the [[Bell Plant]]s' harassment before she was captured by [[Gaztak]]s. She bluffed the Gaztaks by claiming she was leading them to the TARDIS before taking them around in circles. She lost them by leading them into the Bell Plants. ([[TV]]: ''[[Meglos (TV story)|Meglos]]'')

After forgetting all about the matter, the Doctor received an order from the [[Time Lord]]s to return Romana to [[Gallifrey]], now that they had found the segments to the [[Key to Time]]. Romana, having tasted a life of adventure with the Doctor and bonded with him, didn't want to return and sulked in [[Romana's TARDIS bedroom|her room]]. [[The Doctor's TARDIS]] entered a [[Charged Vacuum Emboitment]], left the universe ([[N-Space]]) and entered another, smaller universe, [[E-Space]]. They landed on the planet [[Alzarius]]. Romana was infected by an [[Alzarian spider]]. Its venom [[Hypnosis|controlled]] her, making her complete tasks to help the [[Marshman|Marshmen]]. The Doctor restrained her and she soon recovered.

After forgetting all about the matter, the Doctor received an order from the [[Time Lord]]s to return Romana to [[Gallifrey]] given that they had assembled the [[Key to Time]]. Romana, having tasted a life of adventure with the Doctor and bonded with him, did not want to return and spend the rest of her life there. The TARDIS entered a [[Charged Vacuum Emboitement]] and entered [[E-Space]] where they landed on the planet [[Alzarius]]. Infected by an [[Alzarian spider]], Romana was [[hypnosis|controlled]] by its [[venom]] to complete tasks to help the [[Marshman|Marshmen]]. The Doctor restrained her and she soon recovered. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Full Circle (TV story)}})


Romana and the Doctor began searching for a CVE to return home. They came across [[Vampire planet|a planet]] and landed upon it. They found an [[Alzarian]], [[Adric]], had stowed away on board. Romana was taken by [[Three Who Rule|a group of vampires]] as a sacrifice to the [[King Vampire]]. The Doctor rescued her and they resumed searching. ([[TV]]: ''[[State of Decay (TV story)|State of Decay]]'') The Doctor was injured and Romana placed him in the [[Zero Room]] to recover. The TARDIS was captured by [[Ballustran]]s. Romana was questioned by [[Marni Tellis]] in a murder enquiry. However, a [[Farrian]] attack lifted suspicion from her. Romana kept the Farrian talking long enough for the Doctor to destroy their CVE entrance. They were unable to follow and so continued their search.

([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)}})


They arrived at [[the Gateway]]. With K9 damaged by the [[time wind]]s, the regular universe remained inaccessible to him. Romana chose to stay with him in E-Space to help the enslaved [[Tharil]]s release themselves from captivity. ([[TV]]: ''[[Warriors' Gate (TV story)|Warriors' Gate]]'')
Romana also arrived on a planet with a rainforest that was home to the ''[[Tantalus (spaceship)|Tantalus]]'' ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Chase the Night (audio story)}}) and [[Purgatory 12]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Purgatory 12 (audio story)}}) Later, the TARDIS crew arrived at [[the Gateway]] where they encountered the [[Tharil]]s. With K9 damaged by [[time wind]]s and unable to return to [[N-Space]], Romana chose to remain with him in E-Space where they could help release the Tharils from captivity, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Warriors' Gate (TV story)}}) becoming a [[renegade Time Lord]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Universal Databank (reference book)}}) She fought for Tharil rights for many years and liberated them. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blood Harvest (novel)}})


Romana fought for [[Tharil]] rights for many years. She began to consider a return to N-Space. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)|The Invasion of E-Space]]'') Romana and K9 later left E-Space through a mirror. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'')
There existed a series of accounts that involved K9 and [[The Mistress (The Choice)|his 487 year old "mistress"]] travelling throughout "[[Ecto-Space]]". This mistress ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Choice (audio story)}}, {{cs|The Search (audio story)}}) was very similar to Romana in voice, personality, and appearance. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Warriors' Gate (TV story)}}, et al.) By another account, this mistress travelled with a robot animal instead named [[B.E.S.]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Choice (novelisation)}}) Romana and K9 eventually decided to return to N-Space, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)}}) passing through a mirror with K9 to return to their universe. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Zagreus (audio story)}})
 
=== Return to Gallifrey ===
Romana visited the [[vampire planet]] to check upon its residents where she encountered [[Bernice Summerfield]]. The pair and the [[Seventh Doctor]] became aware of [[Agonal]]'s plan to resurrect the [[Great Vampire]], after which they went to the [[Tomb of Rassilon]] where Agonal was tricked by [[Rassilon]]. Romana elected to remain on Gallifrey. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blood Harvest (novel)}})
 
Romana met [[Ruath]] and was trapped by her in a [[miniscope]] to prevent her from stopping her plan to turn the [[Time Lord]]s into vampires. Romana was later picked up by [[Spandrell]] and, according to one account, received a position on the [[High Council]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Goth Opera (novel)}}) She was shocked that the [[Fifth Doctor]] had become [[Lord President|President]] and then run away from his responsibilities. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Extermination (audio story)}})
 
Working closely with the High Council, Romana planned to bring [[Abby|Amy]] (later known as Abby) to the [[Time Lord Academy]] in order to convince them to begin admitting non-[[Gallifreyan]] students. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Chaos Pool (audio story)}})


=== President of the High Council ===

Romana and K9 returned to N-Space and Gallifrey, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Harvest (novel)|Blood Harvest]]'') where Romana ascended to the Presidency. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Goth Opera (novel)|Goth Opera]]'', ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'')
==== Gaining the Presidency ====
[[File:Romana and K9.jpg|thumb|left|Romana and K9 on Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Appropriation (audio story)}})]]
There were multiple contradictory accounts of how Romana became the President. According to one account, Romana ran against an individual in an [[election]] held after her predecessor was found drunk whilst in charge of the [[Sash of Rassilon]]. She narrowly won, winning 53% of the vote to her rival's 47% according to [[Spandrell]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Happy Endings (novel)}})


Romana was shocked that the [[Fifth Doctor]] ran away from his responsibilities when he was appointed Lord President of Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Extermination (audio story)|Extermination]]'')
According to other accounts, she won the Presidency by invoking the ancient [[right of challenge]] against her predecessor. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Insurgency (audio story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)}}) In one telling, the President whom she challenged and ousted was [[Flavia]] herself, even though it had been Flavia who had invited her onto the High Council. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)}}) In another, a [[coup]] to which Romana had no ties overthrew Flavia, and a new, male President was sworn in. It was against him that Romana invoked a [[right of challenge]] against the President and been successful, succeeding him, after she had been "asked to become President", in spite of her lack of political experience. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Lies (audio story)}})


The manner of Romana's ascendancy is unclear. One source claimed that Romana ran against [[Flavia]] in an election and won. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') Romana recalled she had invoked a "right of challenge" against her predecessor as President of the High Council, just as [[Darkel]] later challenged her. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'') However, Braxiatel claimed that no one had held the role of [[Lord Chancellor]] "for many years", not since Romana's predecessor had "quelled his predecessor's less-than-stellar stewardship". Romana said she had been "asked to become President after the coup that overthrew Flavia's inauspicious reign" in spite of her lack of political experience. This suggests another President had ruled in the interim. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'')
==== Early Presidency ====
One of Romana's first actions as President was to establish a [[Tharil]] [[embassy]] and, in her first speech, she called an end to Gallifrey's policy of isolationism. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Happy Endings (novel)}})


According to one account, soon after taking office, Romana suffered an epileptic fit. During this, she signed an executive order releasing three hundred [[prisoner]]s from [[Shada (prison)|Shada]], including [[Grandfather Paradox]]. The fit was caused by the [[Carnival Queen]] threatening the rational underpinnings of the universe. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'') However, another account stated that [[Salyavin]], upon leaving Shada on his own centuries before Romana's time, used his powers to make the Time Lords forget about Shada. Romana herself told [[Skagra]] she had "never even heard of it", referring to the prison as "the actions of previous administrations". ([[WC]]: ''[[Shada (webcast)|Shada]]'')

==== Abduction ====
Also in the early days of her Presidency, Romana was abducted by the Daleks and spent more than two decades in captivity before escaping with the help of the Doctor, now in his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Apocalypse Element (audio story)|The Apocalypse Element]]'') On returning to Gallifrey, she resumed the Presidency.  
In the early days of her Presidency, Romana was abducted by the Daleks and spent more than two decades in captivity before escaping with the help of the Doctor, now in his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]].

[[File:PresidentRomana.jpg|thumb|President Romana on Gallifrey. ([[WC]]: ''[[Shada (webcast)|Shada]]'')]]
==== Trouble with anti-time ====
Romana sanctioned an experiment with the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] to look into the phenomenon of [[anti-time]]. As part of this experiment, she went with [[Vansell|Coordinator Vansell]] on an extraction mission to collect the [[Eighth Doctor]] and his [[companion]] [[Charlotte Pollard]], informing them that Charley's survival after the crash of the [[R101]] had caused damage to the [[Web of Time]]. Travelling into the universe of anti-time, they discovered the [[Neverperson|Neverpeople]] that resulted from the Gallifreyans' use of the [[Oubliette of Eternity]]. As [[Sentris]] was manipulating Vansell to explode a critical mass of anti-time in the [[Panopticon]], she reset her presidential codes in [[the Matrix]]. [[Matrix Rassilon|Rassilon]] claimed that she had the Matrix's favour and a door was created that returned her to Gallifrey, with Charley's survival resolved. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Neverland (audio story)}})


Romana sanctioned an experiment with the CIA to look into the phenomenon of [[anti-time]]. As part of this experiment she went with [[Coordinator]] [[Vansell]] on an extraction mission to collect the Doctor and his companion [[Charlotte Pollard]]. She informed the Doctor that saving Charley had caused time to run a different course, such as a 30 year war now lasting three centuries. She admitted that it wasn't the fact that Charley or any potential descendants would make an important discovery, but something had used this act to breach the universe. After showing the Doctor a matrix projection showing her that all futures lead to her becoming an [[Imperiatrix]] of Gallifrey and abusing her powers, she travelled through to a universe of anti-time. In this universe, she encountered [[Sentris]] and her [[Neverperson|neverpeople]]. Sentris informed her that the neverpeople existed because of a barbaric punishment that her office could inflinct on any criminal, the [[Oubliette of Eternity]]. When both the Doctor and Romana noticed that Vansell was being manipulated by Sentris to explode a critical mass of anti-time in the panoptican, they devised a plan to reset her presidential codes in the Matrix. She was in the Matrix when the time station exploded due to Doctor's intervention. She watched the Matrix record the events and saw that the paradox of Charley's survival had been resolved. [[Rassilon]] informed her that this would have always happened and that if she was to exit the Matrix through the door she entered she would die. He told her that she was favoured by the Matrix and a second door opened, back to Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Neverland (audio story)|Neverland]]'')
Romana had [[Irving Braxiatel|Cardinal Braxiatel]] monitor the section of the galaxy where the Doctor's TARDIS had been staying since the anti-time explosion. She and [[Leela]] entered the Matrix to talk to Rassilon, who had appeared in Leela's dreams, and encountered the infected Doctor and a manifestation of the TARDIS. Romana helped the Doctor recover before banishing him to the [[Divergent Universe]] as a precaution against the spread of anti-time. She told Leela that she believed that they had the beginnings of a beautiful friendship. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Zagreus (audio story)}})


She had [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]] monitor the section on the galaxy where the Doctor's TARDIS had been staying since the anti-time explosion. After it had disappeared, [[Leela]] arrived in her presidential chambers saying that Rassilon had appeared in her dreams. Both of them then entered the matrix to talk to Rassilon, and encountered the now infected Doctor and the Manifestation of the TARDIS. She helped the Doctor to recover and then banished him to the [[Divergent Universe]] as a precaution if any particle of anti-time remained in his system. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'')  
==== Investigating the Timonic Fusion Device ====
After [[Nepenthe]] of the [[Free Time]] movement took possession of the [[Timonic Fusion Device]] that had allegedly been disassembled, Romana interrogated [[arms dealer]] [[Mephistopheles Arkadian]] about the movement. With the [[Monan Host]] threatening invasion of [[Gryben]] to obtain the device, she had to stop [[Narvin|Coordinator Narvin]] from launching [[Battle TARDIS]]es and [[Irving Braxiatel|Cardinal Braxiatel]] from stopping an [[evacuation]]. She used her position to stop a war by going to the planet herself, as she knew if she was on the planet any action which would kill Monan forces would also kill herself. She learnt that the device was a bluff. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Weapon of Choice (audio story)}})


After the CIA agents lost a potential source of weapons grade chronons, she chastised [[Narvin]] for what happened. The [[Monan Host]] leader told her that the [[Nepenthe]], the stealer of the Chronons was on [[Gryben]]. She sent [[Leela]] to investigate with [[Andred|Torvald]]. She had to interrogate [[Mephistopheles Arkadian]] for information about Free Time. She had to deal with a [[Free Time]] terrorist attack on Gryben. With the [[Monan Host]] threatening invasion of Gryben to obtain a [[Timonic Fusion Device]], she had to stop [[Narvin]] from launching [[Battle TARDIS]]es and Braxiatel from stopping an evacuation. She used her position to stop a war by going to the planet herself, as she knew if she was on the planet any action which would kill Monan forces would also kill herself. She realised that the device was a bluff. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Weapon of Choice (audio story)|Weapon of Choice]]'')
Romana organised a fake temporal summit to draw out Free Time, sending Narvin as the [[Time Lord]] delegate and [[Leela]] as an undercover agent. [[Hossak]] caused a number of changes to the [[timeline]], culminating in Romana, who joined the conference, becoming a [[paradox]]. Over the course of the summit, Romana identified the [[Monan Host|Monan]] delegate [[V'rell]] as a member of Free Time and Hossak as the one behind the timeline alterations. Hossak tried to kill Romana due to her paradoxical nature, after which she was arrested. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Square One (Gallifrey audio story)}})


She organised a fake temporal summit to get potential terrorist attention and sent Narvin as the Time Lord delegate, as well as sending Leela undercover. She had to intervene when Narvin and [[Flinkstab]] had a heated debate, but when time was rewritten she didn't need to do this. Leela informed her about the anomalous pictures and Romana decided to come to the summit. Time was rewritten once more and this erased her permissions to join the conference. She worried that she was paradoxical. Shortly afterwards she was attacked by one of the [[Servitors]] but Leela stopped it and discovered it was the dancer [[Baano]]. She learnt that delegate [[V'rell]] was part of the Free Time movement. She also told the Monans about the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] codes they put in their planets defence shields after the Time Lords fixed them in the wake of the [[Dalek]] attack. Romana and Leela uncovered [[Hossak]]'s mad plan for peace in that she was rewriting time to undo anything bad which happened at the conference. Romana informed Hossak that the summit was fake and she had conducted a secret summit. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Square One (Gallifrey audio story)|Square One]]'')  
[[Darkel|Inquisitor Darkel]] presided over a [[judicial inquiry]] into Romana's actions on Gryben. Romana provided evidence that she had reason to believe that the device was genuine, assisted by information from [[K9 Mark II|K9]] and Narvin and a [[data bomb]] planted in [[the Matrix]] by Braxiatel. She also learnt about how and why Braxiatel began [[Braxiatel Collection|his collection]] and went back in time to stop the retro-crime that occurred in stealing the device. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Inquiry (audio story)}})


There was a judicial inquiry over the actions on Grybon, presided by Inquisitor [[Darkel]]. As part of her evidence she got K9 to access data on [[Project Alpha]], including an explosion of it. Narvin traced the creator of the bomb and gave Romana this information. During this investigation she discovered the means of how Braxiatel created [[Braxiatel Collection|his collection]] and why. She found out how a Timonic Fusion Device was made available to the Free Time Movement. She went back in time to stop the retrocrime that occurred in stealing the device. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Inquiry (audio story)|The Inquiry]]'')  
[[File:Romana and Darkel.jpg|thumb|left|Romana and Inquisitor Darkel. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Inquiry (audio story)}})]]
Arkadian invited Romana to [[Earth]] to discuss the Timonic Fusion Device, meeting on the [[Calais Transcontinental Express]] in [[1939]]. Romana learnt of Commander Torvald's plan involving [[Cecelia Pollard|Sissy Pollard]] and, later, that he was an [[incarnation]] of [[Andred]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A Blind Eye (audio story)}})


[[Mephistopheles Arkadian]] invited her to [[Earth]], as she would learn something to her advantage about the Timonic Fusion Device. It was explained to her that he had made a temporal intervention with [[Cecelia Pollard]] and to keep Narvin off his back. When both Leela and Cecelia vanished she discovered that someone was interfering in the intervention. Narvin ordered her to remove herself from the timeline before anymore interventions would happen. Using the train passengers as hostages she learnt from Torvald that he was actually [[Andred]] when he revealed that Leela was his wife. She learnt about [[Torvald]]'s plan with [[Free Time]] and how it involved Ceclia becoming a conduit for anti-time. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Blind Eye (audio story)|A Blind Eye]]'')
==== Darkel's opposition ====
As the [[High Council]] was comprised of herself and three [[Lord Cardinal|cardinals]] who were not especially sympathetic to her, Romana appointed the [[Arcalian Chapter|Arcalian]] [[Chapter Castellan]] [[Wynter (Lies)|Wynter]] to the Council. Cardinal Braxiatel attempted to have Romana make him her [[High Chancellor]] to support her, but she was loath to be seen to hand high offices to her friends.


She decided to visit Andred in the cells though [[Wynter (Lies)|Wynter]] told her that he should be present at the interrogation. She wanted to know if he could be rehabilitated. It seemed Braxiatel supported and guided Romana's appointment partly because it was inevitable and he wanted to monitor her closely for any return of Pandora's influence. Romana went after Leela in the vaults and later encountered [[Pandora]] again, who was this time taking the form of Romana's first incarnation. Pandora told Romana that she had engineered her return to Gallifrey from [[E-Space]] and her appointment as President to fulfil her grand plan. She worked out that she had regenerated to stop herself from being Imperiatrix. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'')
Romana, Leela and [[K9 Mark I]] encountered [[Pandora]] in the vaults and finally came to understand why [[Romana I|her first incarnation]] had initiated her [[regeneration]]. Pandora told her that Romana was the result of centuries of genetic manipulation and intended to be her new host body. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Lies (audio story)}})


After meeting with Pandora she spent a short time relaxing on [[Davidia]]. She wanted to talk to Leela about her decision to leave the planet. As part of this Romana decided to spend a day experiencing the jungle as Leela does. She tried to explain to Leela the concept of Natural Selection against Leela's view of the world. She realised that Leela wanted her to feel out of place. Romana told Leela that it was living with Time Lords that was keeping her young. She was worried that Pandora would try again to take over her body. There she encountered a charred body which arrived on the planet in an anomalous TARDIS, and proceeded to find out the truth. When Braxiatel told her that the TARDIS hadn't left Gallifrey yet and he couldn't identify the body. As part of her agreement with Leela they went into a sensory tank which she hoped would also help the Charred Time Lord. In the tank she experienced the world through Leela's viewpoint. In the experience the charred Time Lord tried to tell her what had happened to him. She realised that it was due to the soothing balm Leela placed on the Time Lord. She came to understand Leela's way of thinking. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Spirit (audio story)|Spirit]]'')
Romana took Leela on a short holiday to [[Davidia]] after she decided that she wanted to leave [[Gallifrey]]. Their break was cut short by the arrival of a charred body that arrived in an anomalous [[TARDIS]], a TARDIS that they learnt from Braxiatel must be from the future. Hoping to help the charred Time Lord, Romana and Leela entered a sensory tank with him, where she experienced the world through Leela's viewpoint, bringing them to more of an understanding. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Spirit (audio story)}})


She was manipulated by Darkel to let [[Wynter (Lies)|Wynter]] investigate the charred Time Lord.  Braxiatel was named High Chancellor and made responsible for Romana's experiments with the [[Time Lord Academy]], allowing off-world students to enter the academy. She found out that the body was Wynter, and it was due to Pandora he became that way. She found as a result of the Pandora creature escape from the Matrix, Braxiatel was exiled from Gallifrey ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Pandora (audio story)|Pandora]]'') and the Academy reforms fell apart under his successor, Chancellor [[Valyes]].
Darkel manipulated Romana into appointing Braxiatel as her High Chancellor, causing some controversy. She also put Braxiatel in charge of the Academy, now educating off-world students from the Temporal Powers. After Wynter released Pandora, Romana realised that he was the charred man, having gone back in time to warn her of Pandora. Braxiatel absorbed the past and present aspects of Pandora and, to protect the Time Lords, he was exiled. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Pandora (audio story)}})


She reassured Leela that she would be able to teach at the academy and have her monitor the situation there. She told K9 that she feared that Darkel would incite Civil War. Romana started to exhibit symptoms of Pandora's influence. As part of this influence she became more paranoid and agitated about Darkel's actions. She argued with Darkel over her policies and what was happening in the academy.  She apparently [[murder]]ed [[Andred]] while possessed, and continued to consult Pandora for advice on her political moves. She became more angry the more she consulted with Pandora. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Insurgency (audio story)|Insurgency]]'')
Romana gave Leela a job at the Academy and had her monitor the situation there, fearing that Darkel might incite civil war. Influenced by Pandora, she became more paranoid and agitated about the Inquisitor Prime's actions and [[murder]]ed Andred, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Insurgency (audio story)}}) harming her friendship with Leela. She started having dreams of being [[Imperiatrix]].


She started having dreams of being [[Imperiatrix]] like during the anti-time incident. She informed Leela that Andred had been murdered and told her to protect the Academy. Narvin informed her about the terrorist bombing at the Academy, where she ended up having a political debate against Darkel. She chastised [[Hallan]] for closing the doors to the [[Time Scaphe]]s killing many students and Leela's K9. She wanted to put Narvin and Darkel in front of the High Council in a trial because of their actions. At Pandora's suggestion, Romana declared herself [[Imperiatrix]] of Gallifrey in response to Darkel's challenge for the Presidency. As she crowned herself with the coronet linking her to [[the Matrix]], Pandora became corporeal in the form of the first Romana, declaring ''herself'' Imperiatrix. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Imperiatrix (audio story)|Imperiatrix]]'') Freed by her [[Chancellery Guard]]s, Romana destroyed much of the city's infrastructure in the following [[Gallifreyan Civil War|civil war]], responding to Pandora's psychic control of the [[Capitol]]. She was finally able to contain Pandora in the Matrix again and kill her by destroying the Matrix completely.
[[File:Romana Imperiatrix.jpg|thumb|right|Romana as Imperiatrix of Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Imperiatrix (audio story)}})]]
After a terrorist bombing at the Academy, Romana had a political debate with Darkel and wanted to put her and Narvin on trial for their actions. In response to Darkel making a bid for the presidency and at Pandora's suggestion, she declared herself Imperiatrix of Gallifrey and crowned herself with the [[Coronet of Rassilon]]. This connected her to [[the Matrix]] and gave Pandora form as Romana's first incarnation, declaring herself to be Imperiatrix. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Imperiatrix (audio story)}})


[[File:PresidentRomana2.jpg|thumb|Romana as President of [[Gallifrey]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Appropriation (audio story)|Appropriation]]'')]]
=== Civil War and aftermath ===
Romana didn't want to hurt people in the civil war, so she decided to attack the infrastructure of Gallifrey and stop the TARDIS from working so that Pandora couldn't turn the civil war into a time war. Romana asked [[Gerber]] to create some propaganda to win support. She travelled to the [[anomaly vault]] in order to get Wynter's TARDIS to have an advantage against Pandora. Inside the vault she was attacked by [[Aesino]] after it was released. Romana thought that she could use Aesino to defeat Pandora instead. and [[The Sentience (Fractures)|its sentience]] because Romana was now an anomaly. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fractures (audio story)|Fractures]]'')  
Freed by her [[Chancellery Guard]]s, Romana began the [[Gallifreyan Civil War]]. She targeted the [[Capitol]]'s infrastructure and stopped [[TARDIS]]es from functioning rather than attacking people, not wanting anyone to be hurt and seeking to avoid a [[time war]]. In addition to this, she asked [[Gerber|Commentator Gerber]] to broadcast [[propaganda]] to win support. She travelled to the [[Anomaly Vault]] in order to get [[Wynter's TARDIS]] to have an advantage against Pandora, but whilst she was there she was attacked by [[Aesino]] who she thought she might be able to use. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Fractures (audio story)}})


She was slightly weakened following her experience in the Vault. She realised that the Matrix couldn't predict a future for her. Romana asked Leela to create a strategy to get to the APC net. She witnessed Hallan being infected with a new variant of the Dogma Virus. Following this she questioned [[Matthias]] on how he obtained the Imperiatrix codes.  She tricked Pandora into having a meeting inside the Matrix where she was taken by the Anomaly vault's sentience and then had the Matrix wiped. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Warfare (audio story)|Warfare]]'')  
Following her experience in the vault, Romana was weakened. However, she managed to trick Pandora into having a meeting inside the Matrix where she was taken by the Anomaly Vault's [[The Sentience (Fractures)|sentience]] before Romana had the Matrix completely wiped. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Warfare (audio story)}})


Romana was greatly weakened by her struggle with Pandora. Chancellor Valyes became acting President. K9 informed her that the [[transduction barrier]]s had failed and that the [[Phaidon]], [[Nekkistani]] and [[Sunari]] had invaded. [[Janartis]] wanted to use her as bait to stop the invasion. Darkel informed her that the high council had called a new set of elections.  Valyes appointed [[Matthias]] as [[Lord Cardinal]] before resigning and naming Darkel as his successor. Narvin admitted to her that he supported her regime and that he should become a candidate. She argued that the election wasn't constitutionally sound but because of the current political climate. Romana and Matthias each laid claims to the Presidency. Romana agreed to have a force regeneration to become president again. Because the tribunal into her presidency became null she didn't need to go under a forced regeneration to contest the presidency.  ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Appropriation (audio story)|Appropriation]]'') Darkel and Matthias agreed to the arrest of Romana for high treason. She was then placed in a cell where only Leela and K9 could visit her.  Braxiatel turned up and made a superior claim for the Presidency, freeing Romana. He immediately resigned and named Matthias his successor, to Romana's surprise. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mindbomb (audio story)|Mindbomb]]'')
Due to Romana's weakened status, [[Valyes|Chancellor Valyes]] became [[Acting President]] before appointed Darkel as his successor. Romana argued that this was not politically sound and both she and [[Matthias|Cardinal Matthias]] laid claims to the presidency, with Romana agreeing to [[regeneration|regenerate]] should it be deemed necessary. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Appropriation (audio story)}}) Darkel and Matthias had her arrested for [[treason|high treason]], but she was released after Braxiatel returned and made a superior claim for the presidency, immediately resigning and naming Matthias his successor before returning to exile. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Mindbomb (audio story)}})


She decided to return back to her ancestral home, the [[House of Heartshaven]]. At the house she found Janartis exhibited signs of the Dogma Virus and returned back to the capitol. She asked Elbon if he had a solution for this epidemic. Braxiatel had hatched a scheme to preserve the Time Lord biodata archive. It contained the genetic patterns of all Time Lords, past and present. He hoped to reconstruct Gallifrey after its inevitable fall. As the [[Free Time]] [[Dogma Virus]] ravaged Gallifrey, Matthias nominated Romana to find the cure, then go into exile. Romana followed the trail, only to find Braxiatel. He had nominated Matthias knowing that whoever was President was doomed to fall to the Dogma virus. He also noted that, ironically, Pandora would have had the ruthlessness to crush the "great threat" facing Gallifrey, but Romana would not. The only cure for the virus was to end the regeneration capabilities of the Time Lords. With the help of [[K9]], Braxiatel used a [[Time Scoop]] to collect the biodata archive. He asked Romana to decide whether to administer the cure or to let Gallifrey die and then rebuild it using the biodata. Her initial decision is not known ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Panacea (audio story)|Panacea]]'') as Braxiatel took her to the Axis. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Reborn (audio story)|Reborn]]'')
[[File:Romana and Brax.jpg|thumb|left|Romana and Braxiatel after the Civil War. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Panacea (audio story)}})]]
Romana decided to return to the [[House of Heartshaven]], where she found [[Janartis]] exhibiting signs of the [[Dogma Virus]]. She attempted to find a cure and learnt that Braxiatel had named Matthias as his successor as whoever was President would be doomed to fall to the virus. She found that the only way to cure the virus was to end the Time Lords' regenerative abilities, which she was hesitant to do. With the help of [[K9 Mark II|K9]], Braxiatel used a [[Time Scoop]] to collect the biodata archive and asked Romana to decide whether to administer the cure or to let Gallifrey die and then rebuild it using the biodata. She made her decision ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Panacea (audio story)}}) but Braxiatel then took her to the [[Axis]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Reborn (audio story)}})


=== Exploring other realities ===
=== Exploring other realities ===
She later discovered that Braxiatel, transported them from his Collection to the [[Axis]], where she started to explore alternative versions of Gallifrey, to help find a way to cure the Dogma virus. She explored many versions, from one where she didn't travel with the Doctor ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Reborn (audio story)|Reborn]]'') to one where Time Lords were [[Ape|simian]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Forever (audio story)|Forever]]'')  
==== Adventures ====
At the Axis with Braxiatel, Leela, K9 and Narvin, Romana resolved to explore alternative versions of Gallifrey to find a new home or a way to cure the Dogma Virus. In [[Gallifrey (Reborn)|a world where regenerations were currency]], she found out that she had not met the Doctor and that she had married [[Andred]]. She met [[Romana (Reborn)|her counterpart]] and her son, [[Antonin]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Reborn (audio story)}})


On the world where she didn't meet the Doctor, she found out that she married Andred. One of the Time Lords tried to sell her and Braxiatel one of his future regenerations. She thought this was obscene. She talked to her counterpart about the High Council. [[Antonin]] was interested when he thought that Romana was a future version of his mother. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Reborn (audio story)|Reborn]]'')
On [[Gallifrey (Disassembled)|another Gallifrey]], Romana met [[Romana (Disassembled)|a ruthless counterpart]] that went to great lengths to maintain order and have the [[Web of Time]] woven to Gallifrey's benefit. Her counterpart assigned the [[Burner Doctor]] to execute the prime Romana and Braxiatel was lost, falling into one of the Axis's portals after their escape. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Disassembled (audio story)}})


She found a universe where her counterpart was more ruthless than she was, and was disgusted by the lengths that this Romana would go to keep order and have the [[Web of Time]] weaved in her desire. This Romana wanted to have her counterpart executed and tasked [[Lord Burner]] to do this.  When the axis systems collapsed she spent time searching the axis to see the damage. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Disassembled (audio story)|Disassembled]]'')
After losing Braxiatel, Romana discovered [[Gallifrey (Annihilation)|a world]] where the [[Great Vampire]]s had defeated the [[True Lord]]s of Gallifrey. [[Prydon (True Lords' timeline)|Lord Prydon]] attempted to make Romana his consort but, thanks to the [[immunity]] she gained in [[E-Space]], this failed and she helped [[Borusa (Annihilation)|Lady Borusa]] to destroy them and, in the process, Gallifrey. Destroying another world - another Gallifrey - distressed Romana. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Annihilation (audio story)}})


After losing Braxiatel, she discovered a world where the [[Great Vampire]]s had defeated the [[True Lord]]s of Gallifrey. There she met an alternative version of [[Borusa (Annihilation)|Borusa]]. Lord [[Prydon]] tried to make Romana his consort but thanks to the immunity she gained in E-Space, this failed. She helped Borusa to defeat them, but was forced to destroy the world in the process. This distressed her, as she destroyed another world, another Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Annihilation (audio story)|Annihilation]]'')
The group also visited a Gallifrey where the Time Lords were [[simian]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Forever (audio story)}})


When an alternative Romana was assassinated, Romana took her place, attempting to help the people of this Gallifrey perfect their [[Eye of Harmony]]. The alternative version of Narvin realised that she wasn't from this Gallifrey and threatened the slaves to make sure she would comply. This was in fact a prison for the [[Krilig]], and it was closed, stranding Leela, Narvin and herself on the alternative Gallifrey and K9 in the Axis. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Forever (audio story)|Forever]]'')  
==== New Gallifrey ====
[[File:Romana and Leela Gallifrey V.jpg|thumb|right|Romana and Leela on another Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gallifrey V]]'')]]
When [[Romana (Regenerators' timeline)|an alternative Romana]] was assassinated, Romana took her place and attempted to help the people of [[Gallifrey (Regenerators' timeline)|that world]] perfect their [[Eye of Harmony]]. [[Narvin (Regenerators' timeline)|Narvin's counterpart]] realised that she was from another world and threatened the [[slave]]s to make sure that she would comply with his wishes. However, the Eye turned out to be a prison for the [[Krilig]] and it was closed, stranding Leela, Narvin and herself on the alternative Gallifrey and K9 in the Axis. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Forever (audio story)}})


She later invested time in alternative time technologies. She had to debate with [[Allora]] about the rights of the outsiders to a vital [[Zeiton-7]] supply. Castellan [[Slyne]] placed a bodyguard on her. She wanted to know why she couldn't access the Capitol systems, [[Kavil]] suggested that this was due to exposure to the time vortex. She though that this could be used as a cure for the Dogma Virus. After the assassination attempt on Leela, she negotiated with Leela about the mining rights and had an assassination attempt on her. It was discovered to be Valyes. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Emancipation (audio story)|Emancipation]]'')  
Romana, as President, declared that she would form a New Gallifrey, banning [[slavery]], instituting liberal policies and investing time in alternative time technologies. She identified exposure to the [[Time Vortex]] as a possible cure to the Dogma Virus. She mediated a dispute about access to [[Zeiton-7]] between the Outsiders, led by Leela, and the Mining Guild led by [[Allora|Councillor Allora]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Emancipation (Gallifrey audio story)}})


Romana attended a conference into alternative time technologies and used money as an incentive to get the progress she needed. She became intrigued when [[Jonias]] theorised the Time Vortex. Slyne informed her that Kavil had discovered something. It later turned out to be a signal that came from the Time Vortex. Narvin told her that Jonias was using time sensitive slaves. She got annoyed as it reminded her of the Tharils. She watched Jonias' experiment and told the former slaves to go through the time path. Kavil amplified the signal and told her that it said axis. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Evolution (audio story)|Evolution]]'')
Romana attended a conference into alternative time technologies and used money as an incentive to get the progress she needed. She was informed by [[Slyne|Castellan Slyne]] that [[Kavil]] had discovered a signal in the Time Vortex, which they later discovered was the word "Axis". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Evolution (audio story)}})


She argued with [[Zakar]] about a section of land which the outsiders controlled. Narvin told her to practice moderation with Zakar and the Outsiders. Narvin informed her that Zakar had been captured by the Outsiders. She told Narvin to go to Leela an negotiate for Zakara release. She reluctantly had to sanction military action against the Outsiders. She then covertly went to Leela's township for one final negotiation. This was successful and Leela came back to give evidence of Zakar's guilt. When Science Minister Kavil discovered a signal coming through time, he amplified it, as Romana thought that it could be a way back to their home. When a portal from this signal opened in the [[Panopticon]], she was greeted by Daleks. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Arbitration (audio story)|Arbitration]]'')
She argued with [[Zakar]] about a section of land which the Outsiders controlled, prompting Narvin to advise moderation between the two parties. Kavil's signal was amplified and a portal opened in the [[Panopticon]], through which arrived the [[Dalek]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Arbitration (audio story)}})


=== Returning home ===
=== Returning to Gallifrey Prime ===
Romana escaped the Daleks in the Panopticon and managed to tell Slyne their own weakness. Meeting up with Leela again they went to armoury to halt the Daleks. Romana managed to prevent the Daleks' plan to invade the [[multiverse]], and managed to return home to her own Gallifrey, complete with a cure to the Dogma virus. The Daleks again called her Unit 117. She used the anger from her imprisonment when she interrogated a Dalek she attacked. She said that it was the Daleks that made her a bit more ruthless originating from the Etra Prime attack and the twenty years of mental torture, and then killed the Dalek. She then left this Gallifrey to return to the Axis. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Extermination (audio story)|Extermination]]'')
[[File:Romana II and III.jpg|thumb|left|Romana with a projection of [[Romana III|her next self]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Renaissance (audio story)}})]]
Romana escaped the Daleks in the Panopticon and managed to tell Castellan Slyne their only weakness, going to the armoury with Leela to halt the Daleks. They were successful in preventing the Daleks' plan to invade the [[multiverse]] and managed to return home, complete with a cure for the Dogma Virus. She killed a Dalek herself before leaving. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Extermination (audio story)}})


Shortly after arriving on her own Gallifrey, Romana was greeted by [[Romana III|her next incarnation]], Trey, who entered into a deal with her to return Gallifrey to its former state, thus saving herself thousands of years of work. She became increasingly tired sorting out the calculations and the negotiations. Trey was worried about her and Romana wanted her exiled, but was exiled herself. She returned to Gallifrey just as there was trouble with transduction barrier and the Eye of harmony which she tried to fix but she couldn't but this action caused a regeneration. This all occurred in the Matrix. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Renaissance (audio story)|Renaissance]]'')
Shortly after arriving on what seemed to be her own Gallifrey (actually the Matrix), Romana was greeted by [[Romana III|her next incarnation]], calling herself Trey, who entered into a deal with her to return Gallifrey to its former state, thus saving herself thousands of years of work. She became increasingly tired sorting out the calculations and the negotiations. Trey was worried about her and Romana wanted her exiled, but was exiled herself by Trey for the death of [[Kolspen]] of [[Unvoss]]. She returned to Gallifrey just as there was trouble with the [[transduction barrier]] and the Eye of Harmony. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Renaissance (audio story)}})


This regeneration didn't take hold as she was removed from the Matrix by K9. She was reinstated as president, after Matthias resigned. She couldn't decide to use the measure that would cure the Dogma virus. When Leela decided for her, a Dalek force invaded from the Matrix. Romana repelled a Dalek invasion of Gallifrey with her future incarnation by trapping them in the Matrix. She then set about rebuilding her Gallifrey, which was still crippled by disease and war. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Ascension (audio story)|Ascension]]'')
=== Second term as President ===
Romana learnt that she had been saved by K9. Arriving in the real world, she was reinstated as President following [[Matthias]]'s [[resignation]]. She could not decide whether or not to use the measure that would cure the Dogma Virus, but Leela decided for her, after which a Dalek force invaded from the Matrix. Romana tricked them into re-entering the Matrix before trapping them there, as was planned by Trey, who turned out to be a Matrix projection. She then set about rebuilding her Gallifrey, which was crippled by disease and war, and was unaware that Narvin had attempted to avert the creation of the Daleks to save her when he believed her to be trapped in the Matrix. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)}})


Romana later travelled to Earth to investigate the disappearance of Leela. There she encountered the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Mike Yates]], and helped them to defeat [[Rees]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Second Sight (audio story)|Second Sight]]'')
Romana travelled to [[Earth]] after Leela disappeared during an investigation that Romana sent her on. Whilst there, she encountered the [[Sixth Doctor]] again, as well as [[Mike Yates]], and helped them defeat [[Rees]] after freeing Leela's captive consciousness. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Second Sight (audio story)}})


She was sent to fix the Engines of the [[Moros]] as a gesture for the [[Monan Host]] after diplomatic relations broke down. She planned to use her regeneration as a power boost to stop the ship from becoming a black hole. Her third incarnation sent Braxiatel back to stop this regeneration in order to stop the Omega War. She thought that Braxiatel's manipulation might not have changed enough, and Brax suggested she resign from the Presidency, which she did. Upon resigning she appointed herself as Coordinator of the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] and appointed Lady [[Livia]] as her successor. One of her first acts was to investigate the death of Narvin. She then discovered that it was a [[Phaidon]] general [[Gaal]] who was behind the destruction of Moros and the Monan Embassy on Gallifrey. With the help of Brax she tracked the source of the paradoxes, she found the Leela from the original timeline who was left on [[Legion (planet)|Legion]]. After negotiating with [[The Watchmaker]] she found a way to stop the black hole and created a new timeline. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Enemy Lines (audio story)|Enemy Lines]]'')
Romana sent the [[Seventh Doctor]] to recover [[the Master]]'s remains from [[Skaro]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}}, [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Eleven (audio story)}}) shortly after he and [[Rasmus (Deeptime Frontier)|Rasmus]] captured [[the Eleven]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Eleven (audio story)}}) By one account, she asked this of him in person after events involving the [[House of Lungbarrow]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}}) whereas another account had her contacting the TARDIS to deliver the request. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The TV Movie (novelisation)}})


=== During the Last Great Time War ===
[[The Nine]] captured Romana and placed her in [[The Nine's prison|his prison]] for the Doctor's [[companion]]s. The Nine was later defeated thanks to [[River Song]], [[Liv Chenka]], [[Helen Sinclair]], [[Charlotte Pollard]] and [[Bliss]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Companion Piece (audio story)}})
She got concerned when [[Narvin]] told her about a secret facility in the Loom Forests. She managed to negotiate with the [[War Council]] about a sharing of information. [[Karla (Celestial Intervention)|Karla]] informed her of the destruction of [[Phaidon]]. She was concerned about the War Council's caveats when granting asylum of the Phaidons. Narvin detected information about a War Council facility in the [[Death Zone]] and sent Leela to investigate. After Leela was caught Romana travelled to the Death Zone with Narvin. She thought it was appalling that the War Council was ressurecting dead Time Lords. Braxiatel and Ace asked her for permission to gain information useful for the war. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Celestial Intervention (audio story)|Celestial Intervention]]'')


Narvin informed her that Ace was "dead", this then made her want to use {{Jacobi}} in the war. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Soldier Obscura (audio story)|Soldier Obscura]]'')  
When a paradox began diminishing the Time Lords’ power, Romana became aware of herself and Leela both having [[memory|memories]] of visiting [[Henlen]], the location of the first flight of the original [[prototype TARDIS]]. They travelled back in time to correct the timeline but instead prevented the experiment, which had been sabotaged by the [[Sirens of Time]], from happening at all, causing a timeline in which the Time Lords' mastery of time travel never came to be. With the help of the [[Third Doctor|Third]], [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth]], [[Fifth Doctor|Fifth]], [[Sixth Doctor|Sixth]], [[Seventh Doctor|Seventh]] and [[Eighth Doctor]]s, she completed the first flight without the Sirens' interference, restoring the timelines. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Collision Course (audio story)}})


Narvin warned Romana against using the Master in her plans. She only did this as the Doctor refused to help her. Romana informed the Master that they had turned a blind eye to his crimes and pardoned him for them. She told the Master to get information from [[Finnian Valentine]] about a weapon. She was upset when she realised she had sent Leela to her apparent death. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Devil You Know (audio story)|The Devil You Know]]'')
Romana went to fix the engines of the ''[[Moros]]'' as a gesture for the [[Monan Host]] after diplomatic relations broke down. She planned to use her [[regeneration]] as a power boost to stop the ship from becoming a [[black hole]], but her next incarnation sent Braxiatel back in time to stop her so as to avoid the war with [[Omega]]. To be doubly sure that this future would be avoided, Romana stepped down from the presidency and named [[Livia Caralis (Enemy Lines)|Livia]] as her successor, appointing herself as [[Coordinator]] of the [[Celestial Intervention Agency|CIA]].


She became in contact with the [[Dalek Emperor (The Parting of the Ways)|Dalek Emperor]] who referred to her as Unit 117. Karla informed her about the forces the War Council had lost. She decided to run for presidency again when Livia resigned but that would mean regenerating. After sending Narvin to the Death Zone, she contacted the Dalek Emperor again. She was using a communication channel that Braxiatel had set up. She tried to convince the Emperor to stop the war. During the campaign she thought that she shouldn't have hushed up the [[Zagreus]] business. [[Valerian (Desperate Measures)|Valerian]] used her conversations with the Dalek Emperor against her. She denounced Valerian as a puppet president for the War Council. Narvin gave her a message from Braxiatel that he was right to abandon the war and that she should do like the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Desperate Measures (audio story)|Desperate Measures]]'')
One of her first acts was to investigate the death of Narvin. She then discovered that it was [[Gaal]], a [[Warpsmith]] of [[Phaidon]], that was behind the destruction of ''Moros'' and the Monan embassy on Gallifrey. With the help of Braxiatel she tracked the source of the paradoxes and found the Leela from the original timeline (i.e. Romana III's world) who was left on [[Legion (planet)|Legion]]. After negotiating with [[the Watchmaker]], Romana found a way to stop the black hole and created a new timeline in which Narvin did not die. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}})
 
=== As Coordinator of the CIA ===
==== First months of the Time War ====
[[File:Romana Desperate Measures.jpg|thumb|right|Romana during the early days of the Time War. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Desperate Measures (audio story)}})]]
Romana was concerned when Narvin, whom she had made her [[Deputy Coordinator]], told her of a secret facility belonging to the [[War Council]], already suspicious of them and greatly angered by them due to their conduct and rhetoric when the [[Joint Council]] discussed the matter of granting asylum to the [[Warpsmith]]s. She and Narvin became aware of a War Council facility resurrecting dead [[Time Lord]]s in the [[Death Zone]] and later gave Braxiatel and [[Ace]] permission to go on a mission. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Celestial Intervention (audio story)}})
 
After Narvin informed Romana that Ace seemed to be dead and that Braxiatel had disappeared, she planned to use the [[War Master]] in the fight against the Daleks. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Soldier Obscura (audio story)}}) Narvin warned her against it, but she proceeded with the plan, sending him with [[Leela]] to get information from [[Finnian Valentine]] concerning a weapon. She greatly regretted her decision after the Master went AWOL and Leela apparently died. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Devil You Know (audio story)}})
 
==== Rassilon's return ====
Romana secretly came into contact with the [[Dalek Emperor (The Parting of the Ways)|Dalek Emperor]] and attempted to find a diplomatic solution to avoid further death. She decided to run for presidency again after Livia resigned and named [[Valerian (Celestial Intervention)|Admiral Valerian]] as her successor. However, she was unsuccessful after Valerian made her conversations with the Emperor public, albeit heavily edited, and she denounced Valerian as a puppet President for the War Council. Valerian was used as a host body for the resurrection of [[Rassilon]]. Narvin gave Romana a message from Braxiatel - that he was right to abandon the war and that she ought to do what the Doctor had. After learning from Narvin what had happened on Project Revenant, Romana realised what the War Council planned and hurried to the Panopticon where they witnessed the [[Matrix Rassilon]]'s resurrection in Valerian’s body. Romana was then arrested for treason for her negotiations with the Emperor. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Desperate Measures (audio story)}}) To her surprise, {{Hardiman}} exonerated her and reinstated her as Coordinator.
 
President Eternal Rassilon's policies were very much against Romana's own views and she found herself at odds not only with the War Council but with the newly created [[Interior Defence Unit]] led by Cardinal [[Mantus]], the [[Chancellery Guard]] having been dissolved. [[Trave (Havoc)|Trave]] arrived from the future and told them that Rassilon's rule would lead to ruin, but Rassilon executed [[Trave (Celestial Intervention)|his earlier incarnation]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Havoc (audio story)}})
 
Romana oversaw the CIA’s intervention in Ysalus’ civil war and arranged the planet’s preservation in a time freeze after the intervention failed, due to coming into conflict with a rival War Council Intervention, which instead escalated the war. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Partisans (audio story)}})
 
She was later informed by General [[Dalia]] that the freeze had been breached and Scythes were scavenging the planet. Together they worked with a native, [[Knyla Shen]], to organise an evacuation of Yslaus, with Romana sending Eris back in time one year to meet Kynla and enable her to make contact with Gallifrey in the first place. The War Council erased Ysalus from time, with Kynla being too late to reach the CIA’s TARDISes. After learning Rassilon has arranged this whole Incident as a example, Romana discovered that Eris had helped Kynla send a signal across time calling for a resistance against the Time War. She arranged the signal’s preservation and helped Eris escape Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Collateral (audio story)}})
 
Although Narvin was unwilling to assist, Romana and Livia planned to assassinate Rassilon using the [[Sicari]]. Whilst the plan was almost successful, Rassilon survived. Romana and Narvin, who had sacrificed the chance of a new regeneration cycle to come to her aid, were locked away but freed and framed for killing a guard so as to avoid making [[martyr]]s of them. Mantus escorted them to a old TARDIS and exiled them from Gallifrey, informing them that the CIA was being subsumed into the IDU. They decided to find Leela. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Assassins (audio story)}})
 
=== Exile in the Time War ===
[[File:Narvin Romana GTW3.jpg|left|thumb|Romana and [[Narvin]] during their exile in the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time War: Volume Three]]'')]]
Romana and Narvin landed ''[[Dreadnought Septima]]'' after escaping one of skirmishes in the war. Finding that there were TARDISes on board they hoped to get spare parts for their now damaged [[TARDIS (Assassins)|TARDIS]]. As the ship was launched before their exile, her CIA codes still worked. She found a fully equipped TARDIS and asked Narvin to collect anything that was useful. They discovered the results of Project Fury and how it related to the Sicari. She realised that [[Trellick]] knew how to help them escape as many Time Lords had come before. They escaped the collapsing ship and replaced the broken dematerialisation circuit. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Hostiles (audio story)}}) Trying to trace Leela, they something went wrong with the signal and they decided to land to [[Njagilheim]] which proved a bit difficult. She was bitten by something even though there were no life nearby to do it. She then started hearing a low hum. They sort shelter with [[Agata]] and [[Ivor]]. She was warned about the ghosts by Aldiss and she later heard them screaming. She thought that they were coming a temporal storm. She realised that the planet's time line had been cracked by the Time War, and theorised that Leela was the start of the Paradox. Romana worked out that it was the [[Orrovix]] that was being hunting her because of her extensive travels with the Doctor. They managed to escape the time loop and the Orrovix before it collapsed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Nevernor (audio story)}}) During their travels they encountered members of [[The resistance (Deception)|the resistance]] against Rassilon ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Deception (audio story)}}) and heard of what had become of the Doctor, that he’d changed for the worse. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Beyond (audio story)}})
 
They finally found Leela on [[Unity]] but were exposed to the Daleks when local crimeboss Jarred McKenzie noticed their TARDIS. Romana had finally tired of the endless cycle of death and destruction bought about by the war and elected to stay behind to cover Leela and Narvin's escape from an imminent Dalek attack. At first intending to use a [[chameleon arch]] to "wipe the slate clean" she believed such a chance was undeserved given her previous actions, instead surrendering to the approaching Daleks. The Daleks opened fire after she refused to reveal where Narvin and Leela had escaped to ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Unity (audio story)}}) but she was saved by Braxiatel using his TARDIS’ shields. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dissolution (audio story)}}) Braxiatel took Romana with him into [[the Beyond]], as he needed a second Time Lord to activate the Parallax. They journeyed through an alternate timeline where President Romana had authorised the destruction of the Cannavar system. They were pursued by the [[Ravenous]], eventually ending up on this timeline’s version of Gallifrey where Romana was horrrified to witness Leela’s death. They were retrieved from Gallifrey by Braxiatel’s TARDIS controlled by the creator of the Parallax, an older version of Braxiatel. He revealed the Parallax was not actually a weapon but rather a gateway to a possible timeline where the Daleks never existed, which he’d stabilised, and offered to let Romana come with him. Whilst she decided the younger Braxiatel angrily returned to his TARDIS, but was killed by the Ravenous. Romana refused the older Braxiatel’s offer and he let her use his TARDIS to return to normal space. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Beyond (audio story)}})
 
Upon returning to the universe Romana was ambushed by the Daleks and captured. On the Time Strategist’s advice, the Emperor had her kept prisoner rather than killed. She was used as the Daleks’ spokesperson during their gambit to conquer Gallifrey with [[Null Zone|null zone]] technology but was freed by Leela. As they fled through the saucer, they were joined by Narvin, Livia and Mantus. After Mantus was exterminated and Livia wounded, Narvin and Livia decided to detonate his TARDIS to destroy the Daleks’ null zone power source but insisted Romana and Leela escape, believing they were more valuable to the war effort. Romana and Leela fled in Braxiatel’s TARDIS as the saucer was destroyed but were diverted to the [[Cloisters]] by {{Armitage}}. He had Romana imprisoned in a pocket dimension where she would serve as an archivist, including of documentation of her own past glories, whilst Leela was conscripted. Romana urged Leela to fight with the better Time Lords and was then sent away. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Homecoming (audio story)}})


=== Death ===
=== Death ===
Romana went on a mission to fix the engines of the [[Moros]] where she regenerated in her [[Romana III|third incarnation]]. After the Omega incident, her third incarnation told Braxiatel to stop this regeneration, rewriting history. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Enemy Lines (audio story)|Enemy Lines]]'')
In the original timeline, during her second term [[Lady President]] Romana went on a mission to fix the engines of the [[Moros]] where she [[regenerated]] in [[Romana III (Renaissance)|a third incarnation]] in a desperate bid to stop the ship's core from turning into a [[black hole]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}}) She would subsequently live through a devastating war precipitated by the return of [[Omega]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Intervention Earth (audio story)}}), which left her the [[last of the Time Lords|last of her kind]] on a ruined [[Gallifrey]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Luna Romana (audio story)}}, {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}}, etc.) However, [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]] later rewrote history to prevent this regeneration, claiming he was doing so on this third incarnation’s own instructions. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}})
 
In the lead-up to the [[War in Heaven]], Romana II - on [[Romana III's Gallifrey|a version of Gallifrey]] which may ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Crimes Against History (short story)|var=first edition}}, ect.) or may not ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Crimes Against History (short story)|var=second edition}}) have been [[original Gallifrey|the original]] - ended up regenerating into a "form more suitable for war". [[Romana III (The Shadows of Avalon)|This Romana III]] adopted the title "[[War Queen]] and [[Mistress]] of the [[Nine Gallifreys]]". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Shadows of Avalon (novel)}}, {{cs|The Ancestor Cell (novel)}})


Prior to the destruction of Gallifrey, Romana had regenerated into [[Romana III|another incarnation]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Shadows of Avalon]]'', ''[[The Ancestor Cell (novel)|The Ancestor Cell]]'') Romana claimed she needed to regenerate to become a more effective leader of Gallifrey, and her future incarnation was noticeably more ruthless than her second. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ancestor Cell (novel)|The Ancestor Cell]]'')
=== Legacy ===
[[Post-Time War universe|After the Time War]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] found [[K9 Mark II]], who informed him that he had been placed by Romana. Reuniting with [[Leela]], the Doctor admitted that he missed Romana, whilst Leela acknowledged her as one of those who were "gone". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Splinters (audio story)}})


=== Undated events ===
=== Undated events ===
At some point, Romana 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 (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')
At some point, Romana 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)}})
 
At one point, Romana had a [[Prime Computer]] brought to the TARDIS, and showed the Doctor its abilities, including calculating the length of the Doctor's scarf and suggesting to him that he should marry Romana. Romana was then kidnapped by the [[Liprogopolisian|Liprogopolisians]], who wanted a Prime Computer for themselves. She was safely returned to the TARDIS afterwards. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Step Into the 80's! (TV story)}})
 
At another point, Romana was abducted by [[Adam Mitchell]] as part his plan to get revenge on the Doctor, in collaboration with {{Ainley}}. She was placed in stasis alongside the Doctor's multiple other companions, before being released by the Doctor's first eleven numbered incarnations with the help of [[Frobisher]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Choice (comic story)}}, {{cs|Endgame (POT comic story)}})
 
== Alternate timelines ==
In an [[alternate timeline]] in which [[Aubertide]]s succeeded in getting the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s biodata and invaded Gallifrey, [[Greeneye]] and [[August (Human Nature)|August]] tried to persuade Romana to tell them about secrets of [[the Matrix]]. When Romana refused their order, they killed her. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Human Nature (novel)}})
 
The [[Eighth Doctor]] saw a version of Romana in a projection built by [[the Matrix]] to show [[Gallifrey]] after being affected by [[anti-time]]. Romana had taken the title "[[Imperiatrix]]" and was much more ruthless than the Doctor expected. In the projection, she presided over the obliteration of a [[Dalek Fleet]] trapped in a time loop. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Neverland (audio story)}})
 
Many versions of Romana existed in alternate timelines accessible via the [[Axis]]. [[Romana (Antonin's timeline)|One version of Romana]] came from an [[Gallifrey (Antonin's timeline)|alternate Gallifrey]] where the [[Time Lord (Antonin's timeline)|Time Lords]] sold their weapons to other species. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Reborn (audio story)}}) [[Romana (Disassembled)|Another version]] came from a [[Gallifrey (Disassembled)|Gallifrey]] where Time Lords were [[Intervention]]ists. In this timeline, Romana was regularly informed of the interventions, which her prime counterpart was horrified by. At the same time, this Romana was more bloodthirsty and short-tempered compared to her counterpart. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Disassembled (audio story)}}) Another [[Romana (The Questing Beast)|Romana]] lived on a Gallifrey where magic was the way of life, ruling as Queen. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Questing Beast (audio story)}}) [[Romana (Regenerators' timeline)|A final version]] came from a [[Gallifrey (Regenerators' timeline)|Gallifrey]] where the Time Lords were known as [[Regenerator]]s, and had yet to discover [[time travel]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Forever (audio story)}}, {{cs|Emancipation (Gallifrey audio story)}})
 
In an alternate timeline in the Beyond, President Romana ordered the Dreadnought ''Servia'' to destroy the Cannavar system, which was home to 22 billion people, to strike back against an enemy who were using it as a staging post to attack Gallifrey and had killed Leela in a previous attack. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Beyond (audio story)}})


== Personality ==
== Personality ==
This incarnation of Romana seemed to respect the Doctor more and seemed to have settled into her name, though she did continue to exhibit traits from her first incarnation's personality. ([[TV]]: ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]'') She was occasionally fearful but remained quick to react. ([[TV]]: ''[[Meglos (TV story)|Meglos]]'') Taken with her new lifestyle, Romana was adamant that she did not want to return to Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[Full Circle (TV story)|Full Circle]]'')
[[File:Romana Awakes.jpg|thumb|left|Romana smiling. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Full Circle (TV story)}})]]
Romana was confident, intelligent ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Leisure Hive (TV story)}}, etc.) and witty, ([[TV]]: {{cs|City of Death (TV story)}}, {{cs|Shada (TV story)}}) more than capable of separating from [[Fourth Doctor|the Doctor]] and resolving situations on her own. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nightmare of Eden (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Horns of Nimon (TV story)}}, [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Paradox Planet (audio story)}}, etc.) She felt that she had learnt from ([[TV]]: {{cs|Meglos (TV story)}}) and grown thanks to him, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Thief Who Stole Time (audio story)}}) although some of [[Romana I|her previous incarnation]]'s iciness remained early on. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Creature from the Pit (TV story)}}) Whilst she could be fearful, she remained quick to react. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|Meglos (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Horns of Nimon (TV story)}})
 
[[Narvin]] listed Romana's virtues as "[[compassion]], [[intuition]], [[emotion]], [[honesty]], [[integrity]], [[pragmatism]] and extreme [[competence]]". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Inquiry (audio story)}}) Whilst she claimed that she never lied, this was not always true. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)}}; [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A Blind Eye (audio story)}}) When talking to people from a lower social standing, she did not talk down to them, in fact doing quite the reverse. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Labyrinth of Buda Castle (audio story)}}) She also had something of a maternal side ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Horns of Nimon (TV story)}}) and did not appreciate being bowed and scraped and fawned at. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Legacy of Death (audio story)}}) Unlike the Doctor, she was capable of identifying when a woman was attractive. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Labyrinth of Buda Castle (audio story)}}) She never carried [[gun]]s as she found that they had little defensive value, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Paradox Planet (audio story)}}) but she was not above using them when absolutely necessary. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Horns of Nimon (TV story)}}, [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Extermination (audio story)}}) She obeyed the Time Lords' strict rule of non-intervention when it suited her. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Paradox Planet (audio story)}}) She was annoyed when there wasn't any explanation, preferring the inexplicable to be explained. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Haunting of Malkin Place (audio story)}})
 
Due to her new lifestyle of exploration and adventure, Romana dreaded the thought of spending the rest of her life on [[Gallifrey]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Full Circle (TV story)}}) finding that her life aboard the TARDIS was one full of "thrills and spills". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Silent Scream (audio story)}}) Upon returning from [[E-Space]], however, she returned to her homeworld ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Apocalypse Element (audio story)}}) and endeavoured to liberalise [[Time Lord]] society during her [[Lord President|presidency]], frustrated with the monopolistic and isolationist policies of Gallifrey. Her subjects saw her as a [[radical]] but she herself did not think so, simply believing that power gave her the responsibility to do what was right. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Weapon of Choice (audio story)}}) She was willing to sacrifice her position for the planet's safety, but made herself [[Coordinator]] of the [[Celestial Intervention Agency|CIA]] so that she might still steer the Time Lords in what she saw as the right direction. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}}) She was also willing to [[regeneration|regenerate]] in order to become President once more and lead the planet during the [[Last Great Time War]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Desperate Measures (audio story)}})
 
In her free time, Romana enjoyed embarking on constructive and intellectual activities, finding recreation such as walking along a [[beach]] dull and pointless ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Leisure Hive (TV story)}}) and finding [[shoe]]-shopping neither [[emancipation|emancipating]] nor intellectually stimulating. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Wave of Destruction (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor described her as "wonderful", which she supposed she was, ([[TV]]: {{cs|State of Decay (TV story)}}) and as "the noblest Romana of them all", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Warriors' Gate (TV story)}}) saying that he could not ask for more from a [[companion]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Thief Who Stole Time (audio story)}}) He also found her fun when she was being bossy and, as a result, was uncertain if he liked it or not when she agreed with him. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dethras (audio story)}}) She inspired loyalty from [[Irving Braxiatel|Braxiatel]], [[Leela]] and [[Narvin]] ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Weapon of Choice (audio story)}}, {{cs|Lies (audio story)}}, etc.) and, despite her controversial policies, was broadly popular. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)}})


Romana was initially resentful of how [[Adric]] had forced himself upon them in joining their travels, but soon came to like him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)|The Invasion of E-Space]]'') She managed to defeat [[Karna]] all by herself when investigating the [[Vita Novus]] health spa. ([[AUDIO]]: '' [[The Beautiful People (audio story)|The Beautiful People]]'')
Romana was initially resentful of how [[Adric]] had forced himself upon them in joining their travels, but soon came to like him. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)}})
Like her previous incarnation, she could be stern and commanding when she needed to be and could cleverly improvise the situation, like the Doctor, to the point where she could escape. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Creature from the Pit (TV story)|The Creature from the Pit]]'')


== Appearance ==
During the early days of the Last Great Time War, Romana sought [[diplomacy|diplomatic]] means to end the conflict with the [[Dalek]]s, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Desperate Measures (audio story)}}) intending to fight the war in her own way. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Celestial Intervention (audio story)}}) When such measures failed, she still believed that the war could be won without using Dalek-like methods. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Partisans (audio story)}}) The actions of Gallifrey under [[Rassilon|President Rassilon]] led her to believe that the planet was not the world that she had fought for and that it was no longer her home. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Assassins (audio story)}})
[[File:Romana dress.jpg|thumb|right|Romana wears a frilled dress on [[Tigella]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Meglos (TV story)|Meglos]]'')]]
Romana once donned a pink version of the Doctor's coat, with a white version of [[The Doctor's scarf|his scarf]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]'') She also wore a variety of dresses, building on her previous incarnation's sense of style. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Androids of Tara (TV story)|The Androids of Tara]]'', ''[[The Creature from the Pit (TV story)|The Creature from the Pit]]'') On [[Tigella]], she wore a frilled dress. ([[TV]]: ''[[Meglos (TV story)|Meglos]]'') Once she returned to Gallifrey, she wore traditional Time Lord garb. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Goth Opera]]'')


In this body, Romana was noticeably smaller than her previous incarnation. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Luna Romana (audio story)|Luna Romana]]'')
== Skills ==
Romana proved a scientific genius. Her intellect rivalled and sometimes surpassed the Doctor's, as proven by her superior sonic screwdriver. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Horns of Nimon (TV story)}}, [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Labyrinth of Buda Castle (audio story)}})


== Alternative timelines ==
Romana had great strength, as shown when she took on [[Sharrel]] unarmed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)}})
In an [[Gallifrey (Disassembled)|alternative timeline]] in which the Time Lords regularly altered history through the Temporal Intervention Agency, Romana became Lady President as in the proper timeline but was considerably more ruthless than her counterpart. Her Interrogator General was [[Leela#Alternative timelines|Leela]], who murdered her predecessor [[Narvin#Alternative timelines|Narvin]] to achieve the position, while the [[Burner Doctor|Doctor]], by then in his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]], served as [[Lord Burner]], the President's personal temporal assassin who "burned" people from history. [[Vansell#Alternative timelines|Vansell]] served as [[Castellan]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Disassembled (audio story)|Disassembled]]'')


In [[Gallifrey (Forever)|another alternative timeline]] in which [[Rassilon#Alternative timelines|Rassilon]] failed to finish the [[Eye of Harmony]] before his death, Romana reigned as Lady President over a Gallifrey which never achieved [[time travel]] and where [[slavery]] still existed. She was assassinated on the orders of [[Lord Chancellor]] [[Narvin#Alternative timelines|Narvin]] but was immediately replaced by her counterpart from the proper timeline, who claimed that the victim of the assassination was a decoy. After the alternative Narvin was killed by the [[Krilig]], the Narvin from the proper timeline assumed his identity. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Forever (audio story)|Forever]]'')
== Appearance ==
[[File:Romana with Stock Tie.png|thumb|Romana wearing a stock tie with her frock coat and waistcoat. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Horns of Nimon (TV story)}})]]
Romana was a small, neat woman, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blood Harvest (novel)}}) noticeably shorter than her previous incarnation, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Luna Romana (audio story)}}) and was aristocratically beautiful with long fair hair and a high forehead. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (novelisation)}}) She had pert lips, a noble brow and fair skin. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Romance of Crime (audio story)}}) After regenerating, she described herself as having an imposing forehead, nice hair, a neat little chin and slightly overlong arms, although the [[Fourth Doctor]] assured her that their length was fine. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks (novelisation)}}) [[Duggan]] thought that she looked twenty-five. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|City of Death (novelisation)}})


In another alternative timeline in which [[Aubertide]]s succeeded in getting [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]]'s biodata and invaded Gallifrey, [[Greeneye]] and [[August (Human Nature)|August]] tried to persuade Romana to tell them about secrets of [[the Matrix]]. When Romana refused their order, they killed her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'')
Romana once donned a pink version of the Doctor's coat, with a white version of [[The Doctor's scarf|his scarf]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)}}) She also wore a variety of dresses, building on her previous incarnation's sense of style; ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Androids of Tara (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Creature from the Pit (TV story)}}) including copies of the [[Third Doctor]]'s [[smoking jacket]] of [[Rust (colour)|rust]] [[orange]] [[velvet]], [[white]] [[shirt]], and [[black]] [[bow tie]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Well-Mannered War (novel)}}; [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Well-Mannered War (audio story)}}) She wore a white [[blouse]] under a plain black [[gymslip]] when she and the [[Fourth Doctor]] teamed up with [[Detective]] [[Duggan]] to save Earth from [[Scaroth]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|City of Death (TV story)}}) On [[Tigella]], she wore a frilled dress in [[Ruby (colour)|ruby]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Meglos (TV story)}}) When defeating the [[Nimon]], she wore a [[scarlet]] [[frock coat]], a [[brocade]] [[waistcoat]], a white shirt, an white [[stock tie]], [[beige]] [[jodhpur]] [[trousers]], and black [[boot]]s. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Horns of Nimon (TV story)}}) When going to help [[Tharil|Tharils]] to escape slavery, she wore a [[vermillion]] blouse and [[Indigo (colour)|indigo]] trousers. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Warriors' Gate (TV story)}}) Once she returned to Gallifrey, she wore traditional Time Lord garb. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Goth Opera (novel)}})

The designation "Romana II" is not precisely derived from DWU narratives. Rather, it comes from various reference literature like ''[[Companions of Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' itself. However, the ''[[Gallifrey (audio series)|Gallifrey]]'' audio series stated in narrative that the [[Lalla Ward]] Romana was the second incarnation of Romana, and [[Romana I|her predecessor]] the first. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Warfare (audio story)|Warfare]]'')
The designation "Romana II" is not precisely derived from DWU fiction. Rather, it comes from various reference works like ''[[The Companions of Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' itself. However, stories in the ''[[Gallifrey (audio series)|Gallifrey]]'' audio series, such as ''[[Warfare (audio story)|Warfare]]'', stated that the [[Lalla Ward]] Romana was the second incarnation of Romana, and [[Romana I|her predecessor]] the first.


Therefore, while it is technically true to say that "Romana I" and "Romana II" are naming conventions which are ''not'' established in any narrative, nor do they appear in any known credits, the convention of using Roman numerals after [[Romana]] — while non-narrative — is employed on this wiki simply because most people using the site would likely ''expect'' such usage.
So, while these names — "Romana I" and "Romana II", and so on — never appeared in any work of fiction that this Wiki covers, [[T:VS|valid or not]], the convention of these Roman numeral based names are so prevalent in official usage that they are simply the logical choice given that they're best known under these names.

Romana II
Appearances

Romanadvoratrelundar (Romana for short) was a Time Lord and companion of the Fourth Doctor, having begun travelling with him in her first incarnation.

Leaving the TARDIS with K9 Mark II to assist the Tharils in E-Space, Romana eventually returned to Gallifrey and became President with the goal of liberalising the planet, culminating in the Gallifreyan Civil War. Following the war, she was re-elected but later resigned and acted as Coordinator of the CIA during the Last Great Time War until its dissolution.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Regeneration[[edit] | [edit source]]

Main article: Romana I's regeneration

Various accounts gave different reasons for Romana's first regeneration, in which she tried various genetic configurations before settling on her "definitive" second self. (PROSE: Original Sin [+]Loading...["Original Sin (novel)"]) Romana seemed carefree as she tried on these various bodies, (TV: Destiny of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)"]) and one account claimed that she had regenerated purely "for the fun of it". (PROSE: City of Death [+]Loading...["City of Death (novelisation)"]) This cavalier attitude to regeneration was not uncommon among children of Newblood houses. (PROSE: The Book of the War [+]Loading...["The Book of the War (novel)"])

However, other accounts, while agreeing that she voluntarily chose to regenerate, ascribed it a more utilitarian motive: to purge the malicious influence of Pandora, which had begun to resurface after her ordeal with the Shadow. (AUDIO: Lies [+]Loading...["Lies (audio story)"]) Yet another account claimed that the strain of the Key to Time was absorbed into her after leaving Princess Astra of Atrios, prompting her regeneration; (AUDIO: The Chaos Pool [+]Loading...["The Chaos Pool (audio story)"]) Romana's second incarnation was unaware of the exact details of her regeneration for most of her life. (AUDIO: The Chaos Pool [+]Loading...["The Chaos Pool (audio story)"], Lies [+]Loading...["Lies (audio story)"])

Due to her exceptional performance at the Time Lord Academy, Romana had great control over her regeneration, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks (novelisation)"]) and was able to try out several bodies before settling on a form identical to that of Astra of Atrios, having thought that the body had "looked very good" on Astra. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)"])

Yet another account claimed the transformation itself was facilitated by the TARDIS and took place inside a force field in the ship; the metamorphoses witnessed by the Doctor were not Romana at all, but the TARDIS itself adopting Romana's form and trying to replace her as the Doctor's companion in a fit of jealousy. Realising her mistake after one adventure, the ship helped the real Romana complete her regeneration (sans interim bodies) and freed her. (PROSE: The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe [+]Loading...["The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe (short story)"])

Travels in the TARDIS[[edit] | [edit source]]

Evading the Black Guardian[[edit] | [edit source]]

Still using the randomiser to evade the Black Guardian, Romana's first adventure was on Skaro where she was captured and interrogated by the Daleks and made to work as a slave before using her respiratory bypass system to feign death and escape. She met Davros and assisted the Doctor in defeating the Daleks, the Movellans and freeing the slaves. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)"])

Romana and the Doctor thwarted Gevaunt's plan to make humans edible to Quolls (COMIC: Victims [+]Loading...["Victims (comic story)"]) and, after attempting to make repairs to the TARDIS, landed in 51st century Reykjavik where she gave Magnus Greel the idea of time travel and gave him a card for a plastic surgeon in 1998. (COMIC: Under Reykjavik [+]Loading...["Under Reykjavik (short story)"]) With K9, the two Time Lords responded to a distress call from the Karsudan and repaired the ship. (PROSE: All Snug in Their Beds [+]Loading...["All Snug in Their Beds (short story)"]) They also visited Arkinen and decided to head to Paris. (AUDIO: The Old Rogue [+]Loading...["The Old Rogue (audio story)"])

Romana, with the help of the Prime Computer, coaxes the Doctor into proposing marriage. (TV: On Through the 80's! [+]Loading...["On Through the 80's! (TV story)"])

Romana's feelings towards the Doctor become romantic, but she did not communicate this directly. Instead she acquired a Prime Computer, a powerful sentient machine also used on Gallifrey, and installed it in the TARDIS. It helped them to calculate the orbital coordinates of nine hundred planets in the constellation of Kasterborous, averting the end of the universe. (TV: Step Into the 80's! [+]Loading...["Step Into the 80's! (TV story)"]) Later, when the Doctor found a way to increase the Prime's power, and discussed using it for various tasks such as designing ships and running power stations, Romana told him to "Ask it how to handle a woman." The Prime instructed him: "MARRY THE GIRL, DOCTOR." The Doctor proposed to Romana, who accepted, and together they praised the computer. When Romana was taken hostage by aliens from Liprogopolis, who demanded the name of "the supreme computer", she told the Doctor not to reveal anything; however, when he told them it was a Prime, they freed her immediately, as they merely want to purchase one themselves. (TV: On Through the 80's! [+]Loading...["On Through the 80's! (TV story)"])

Arrving in Paris in 1979, Romana and the Doctor enjoyed the city before uncovering Scaroth's plan to use the Mona Lisa and a number of copies to fund his time travel experiments. She provided Scaroth with time travel technology but, after realising her mistake, helped the Doctor stop him. (TV: City of Death [+]Loading...["City of Death (TV story)"])

The Doctor and Romana talk with Duggan on the top of the Eiffel Tower. (TV: City of Death [+]Loading...["City of Death (TV story)"])

On a planet made of confectionery, Romana realised it was K9's birthday. After defeating an alliance made up of the Master, the Daleks and the Cybermen, she returned to him with a sponge cake to celebrate, although after it came to life they allowed it to live out its life on the confectionery planet. (PROSE: The Not-So-Sinister Sponge [+]Loading...["The Not-So-Sinister Sponge (short story)"]) At the end of the universe, the Doctor gave Romana the universe's last Rolo (PROSE: Do You Love Anyone Enough? [+]Loading...["Do You Love Anyone Enough? (short story)"]) before they left Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart a Christmas present (PROSE: Better Watch Out, Better Take Care [+]Loading...["Better Watch Out, Better Take Care (short story)"]) and ruminated on the nature of their lives. (PROSE: Playing with Toys [+]Loading...["Playing with Toys (short story)"])

Romana, the Doctor and K9 attended Queen Elizabeth II's recoronation and were pointed out by the Brigadier to his wife, Doris, (PROSE: The Dying Days [+]Loading...["The Dying Days (novel)"]) and an academic conference on Mars where they passed Bernice Summerfield. (PROSE: Beige Planet Mars [+]Loading...["Beige Planet Mars (novel)"]) They returned to Paris in 2000 where they defeated Taureau (COMIC: The Forgotten [+]Loading...["The Forgotten (comic story)"]) and met Kaj Jepperson in 30th century Prague to stop his time experiments. (PROSE: The End of Now [+]Loading...["The End of Now (short story)"]) On a Kroton ship, Romana and the Doctor encountered the Krotons, Quarks and Ogrons from a different universe. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension [+]Loading...["The Lost Dimension (comic story)"])

On Chloris, Romana was captured by a party of bandits. She became involved in Lady Adrasta's plans to kill the Tythonian ambassador Erato when she made the mistake of showing what K9 could do. (TV: The Creature from the Pit [+]Loading...["The Creature from the Pit (TV story)"])

After the TARDIS landed on the Rock of Judgement, Romana assisted in Frank Spiggot's investigation into the prison, involving the two in Xais's attempted resurrection. The station manager attempted to force the mask that would resurrect her onto Romana, but her Gallifreyan status allowed her to overcome the possession and assist the Doctor in defeating Xais. (PROSE: The Romance of Crime [+]Loading...["The Romance of Crime (novel)"])

Realising that the Doctor had bypassed the Randomiser in order to return some overdue library books, she became cross with him as she was worried that the Black Guardian would be able to find them. Landing in London, she discovered a time tunnel being used by humans that was blocked by Zodaal's space ship. She accidentally accelerated Zodaal's plan and gave him secrets of Gallifreyan time travel in the process. (PROSE: The English Way of Death [+]Loading...["The English Way of Death (novel)"])

When two spaceships, the Empress and the Hecate, collided, Romana helped separate them. She also helped to uncover a drug-smuggling plot involving the lethal drug vraxoin via Tryst's Continuous Event Transmuter and the Mandrels it contained. (TV: Nightmare of Eden [+]Loading...["Nightmare of Eden (TV story)"])

The Doctor and Romana landed on the Myriad that was looking for the Doctor. The Doctor told her that the ship was in the constellation of Kasterborous, which she was delighted at but she had by this time decided that she did not want to go back to Gallifrey. She was fascinated when she met CAIN as she had not seen an artificial intelligence with a working fungoid brain before. She later told Suri about the Pyralis and helped to defeat them. (AUDIO: The Pyralis Effect [+]Loading...["The Pyralis Effect (audio story)"])

Romana prevented the Nimon from continuing their cycle of taking over planets by posing as gods. She travelled to Crinoth and met Sezom, the sole survivor of the people there who had formerly welcomed the Nimon in the hope they would give them higher technology, only to realise too late the Nimon were parasitic nomads who consumed them and their world. (TV: The Horns of Nimon [+]Loading...["The Horns of Nimon (TV story)"])

She was initially annoyed when they landed in what appeared to be Rome, saying that there was no point in the randomiser if it was going to take them to places they already had been in, but discovered that it was the Luna Romana theme park. She stopped Stoyn from changing time. (AUDIO: Luna Romana [+]Loading...["Luna Romana (audio story)"])

Romana and the Doctor decided to stay in their house in London in June 1964 whilst K9 led the Black Guardian on another wild goose chase through time. He returned having been affected by a wave-cancellation frequency modulator, which the two Time Lords investigated. Romana discovered that Jill Lanchaster was a Vardan and later cancelled-out the Vardan invasion force by plugging the modulator into Mark Lanchaster's pirate radio. (AUDIO: Wave of Destruction [+]Loading...["Wave of Destruction (audio story)"])

Romana and the Doctor landed in Budapest in 1980 in order to take in the sights and defeated the vampire-like Zoltán Frid. (AUDIO: The Labyrinth of Buda Castle [+]Loading...["The Labyrinth of Buda Castle (audio story)"]) After arriving in Aoris's past due to the TARDIS's collision with a Time Tank, Romana and K9 prevented a civilisation from discovering time travel and deactivated a bomb. (AUDIO: The Paradox Planet [+]Loading...["The Paradox Planet (audio story)"]) They searched for the Doctor and prevented Drang's attack. (AUDIO: Legacy of Death [+]Loading...["Legacy of Death (audio story)"])

Romana and the Doctor in Cambridge. (TV: Shada [+]Loading...["Shada (TV story)"])

The Doctor and Romana went to Cambridge in 1979, intending to meet Professor Chronotis. Whilst punting up the River Cam, (WC: Shada [+]Loading...["Shada (webcast)"]) the Doctor's first four incarnations, along with their companions, were taken by a time scoop to the Death Zone on Gallifrey. The Doctor and Romana were caught in a time eddy and failed to arrive in the Death Zone. They were released several hours later once Borusa was sealed in the Tomb of Rassilon. (TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"])

The Doctor, having gone "nowhere" for several hours, went back to the TARDIS, demanding everyone to put their bathing suits on as they were going to Brighton. The Doctor and Romana, though retaining memories of the punting trip, had forgotten they intended to visit Chronotis. The Doctor said that they had intended to be back "before lights out", but "went on somewhere else", according to Romana, after only being away from the TARDIS for two hours and twenty-one minutes. (WC: Shada [+]Loading...["Shada (webcast)"])

The Doctor and Romana were asked by the Ra'ra'vis Tigil and Kemos to retrieve a psychic sales voucher stolen by Mrs Oppenheimer-Mason in 1985 New York City. While Romana distracted Mrs Oppenheimer-Mason, the Doctor was able to swipe the voucher from her dog, and return it to the Ra'ra'vis. (COMIC: Time Lady of Means [+]Loading...["Time Lady of Means (comic story)"])

The Doctor, Romana and K-9 went on holiday to Cimmerian II, she and K9 spent three days trying to find souvenir but couldn't find one. During the Doctor's stint as a witness in the trial for the destruction of Earth, her time sensitiveness meant that she could detect the Children of Pyxis, but didn't know who they were. She tried to claim that the Children of Pyxis was after them but Perigord Trent didn't believe him. She went to find evidence that Skorpios used the Children of Pyxis. She worked out the creatures that were sent to attack him were Liborts so could distract them with the fine wine in the cellar. This escape caused Skorpios to sent another set of assassins after him. She learnt that Smilax's true interest in rescuing Earth was to turn it into a habitat for Hobkinson's Greater White-Crested Spergasaurians. She took Trent to earth to get evidence. (AUDIO: The Doomsday Contract [+]Loading...["The Doomsday Contract (audio story)"])

Landing in Brighton in 1833, too early for the Brighton Pavilion, the Doctor planed to stay around for the opening, Romana initially planned to visit the sites of Europe and popular figures of the age. At Mary Barnes' waxworks, she spotted Goole stealing a waxwork of Marie Antoinette and went with the Doctor to Goole's Gallery of Ghouls and learnt that Goole was a wax creature. She was caught up in an explosion but she managed to escape via the drains. (AUDIO: Gallery of Ghouls [+]Loading...["Gallery of Ghouls (audio story)"])

Romana warned the Doctor not to return to Brighton too soon after their previous visit. She was used as a hostage by Drax as part of his eleven incarnations' elaborate con to have the Doctor steal and return a Blinovitch Limitation Effect limiter, being appalled at Drax's irresponsibility once she deduced what was going on. (AUDIO: The Trouble with Drax [+]Loading...["The Trouble with Drax (audio story)"]) Mr Dorricl placed Romana in a chamber to become the pilot of the Laan's time engine, (AUDIO: The Pursuit of History [+]Loading...["The Pursuit of History (audio story)"]) but she did not have sufficient exposure to the Time Vortex. She later learnt that the Black Guardian was involved. (AUDIO: Casualties of Time [+]Loading...["Casualties of Time (audio story)"])

On Barclow, Romana and the Doctor were separated after a missile landed near their position, after which Romana was captured and met Menlove Stokes again. (PROSE: The Well-Mannered War [+]Loading...["The Well-Mannered War (novel)"]) After arriving in London in 1899, she helped the Doctor track an energy pulse to the New Regency Theatre and later assisted George Litefoot and Percival Quick. (AUDIO: The Beast of Kravenos [+]Loading...["The Beast of Kravenos (audio story)"]) Planning to take Romana to a pencil museum in the Lake District, the Doctor instead landed in a battlefield where they encountered the Sontarans. (AUDIO: The Eternal Battle [+]Loading...["The Eternal Battle (audio story)"])

In Hollywood 1930, she confronted Julius about his clinic that specialised in keeping film-stars young and started a mob to rescue the Doctor. (AUDIO: The Silent Scream [+]Loading...["The Silent Scream (audio story)"]) Romana wanted the Doctor to use the randomiser again and switched it on, taking them to a submarine in the 1940s that was suspended in space where she again saved the Doctor. (AUDIO: Dethras [+]Loading...["Dethras (audio story)"])

At one point, Romana had a Prime Computer brought to the TARDIS, and showed the Doctor its abilities, including calculating the length of the Doctor's scarf and suggesting to him that he should marry Romana. Romana was then kidnapped by the Liprogopolisians, who wanted a Primce Computer for themselves. She was safely returned to the TARDIS afterwards. (TV: Step Into the 80's! [+]Loading...["Step Into the 80's! (TV story)"])

The Doctor arrived in Brighton, but in the wrong season. Bored and with K9 out of action after going in the sea, Romana suggested they visit the Leisure Hive. There, they prevented the rebirth of Argolin civilisation. Despite her protests, the Doctor removed the randomiser from the TARDIS, making them vulnerable to the Black Guardian finding them again. (TV: The Leisure Hive [+]Loading...["The Leisure Hive (TV story)"])

Without the randomiser[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana and her old friend Sartia. (AUDIO: The Skin of the Sleek [+]Loading...["The Skin of the Sleek (audio story)"])

After arriving in London in 1922, Romana and the Doctor stayed at Baker Street for some time. Travelling to Kent, the two investigated and solved a case of alleged ghostly activity at Malkin Place. (AUDIO: The Haunting of Malkin Place [+]Loading...["The Haunting of Malkin Place (audio story)"]) The TARDIS later materialised underground where it was captured by a drill town, after which Romana was interrogated by Maxwell Wilberforce Bell. She was to be converted into a Silex but managed to escape and reunite with the Doctor. (AUDIO: Subterranea [+]Loading...["Subterranea (audio story)"]) Staying again at Baker Street in 1980, the two looked into a Movellan ship and found Chenek, an anti-Dalek weapon. She helped the Doctor reprogram him to remove his Movellan programming and give him free will. (AUDIO: The Movellan Grave [+]Loading...["The Movellan Grave (audio story)"])

On Funderell, Romana was rescued from a current by Rolf and taken to see Greygul, where she encountered her old friend Sartia from the Time Lord Academy. She broke into Sartia's stolen files and was later left by her in the middle of nowhere to die. (AUDIO: The Skin of the Sleek [+]Loading...["The Skin of the Sleek (audio story)"]) However, she survived and reunited with the Doctor, with whom she defeated Sartia. (AUDIO: The Thief Who Stole Time [+]Loading...["The Thief Who Stole Time (audio story)"])

On Tigella, Romana freed herself from the Bell Plants' harassment before she was captured by Gaztaks. She bluffed the Gaztaks by claiming she was leading them to the TARDIS before taking them around in circles. She lost them by leading them into the Bell Plants.

E-Space[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Information from series 9 of The Fourth Doctor Adventures needs to be added

Romana upset after being recalled to Gallifrey. (TV: Full Circle [+]Loading...["Full Circle (TV story)"])

After forgetting all about the matter, the Doctor received an order from the Time Lords to return Romana to Gallifrey given that they had assembled the Key to Time. Romana, having tasted a life of adventure with the Doctor and bonded with him, did not want to return and spend the rest of her life there. The TARDIS entered a Charged Vacuum Emboitement and entered E-Space where they landed on the planet Alzarius. Infected by an Alzarian spider, Romana was controlled by its venom to complete tasks to help the Marshmen. The Doctor restrained her and she soon recovered. (TV: Full Circle [+]Loading...["Full Circle (TV story)"])

Romana and the Doctor began searching for a CVE to return home. They came across a planet and landed upon it. They found an Alzarian, Adric, had stowed away on board. Romana was taken by a group of vampires as a sacrifice to the King Vampire. The Doctor rescued her and they resumed searching. (TV: State of Decay [+]Loading...["State of Decay (TV story)"]) Romana and the Doctor also encountered a future incarnation of the Doctor within a time bubble. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors [+]Loading...["The Eight Doctors (novel)"]) The Doctor was injured and Romana placed him in the Zero Room to recover. The TARDIS was captured by Ballustrans. Romana was questioned by Marni Tellis in a murder enquiry. However, a Farrian attack lifted suspicion from her. Romana kept the Farrian talking long enough for the Doctor to destroy their CVE entrance. They were unable to follow and so continued their search. (AUDIO: The Invasion of E-Space [+]Loading...["The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)"])

Romana also arrived on a planet with a rainforest that was home to the Tantalus (AUDIO: Chase the Night [+]Loading...["Chase the Night (audio story)"]) and Purgatory 12. (AUDIO: Purgatory 12 [+]Loading...["Purgatory 12 (audio story)"]) Later, the TARDIS crew arrived at the Gateway where they encountered the Tharils. With K9 damaged by time winds and unable to return to N-Space, Romana chose to remain with him in E-Space where they could help release the Tharils from captivity, (TV: Warriors' Gate [+]Loading...["Warriors' Gate (TV story)"]) becoming a renegade Time Lord. (PROSE: The Universal Databank [+]Loading...["The Universal Databank (reference book)"]) She fought for Tharil rights for many years and liberated them. (PROSE: Blood Harvest [+]Loading...["Blood Harvest (novel)"])

There existed a series of accounts that involved K9 and his 487 year old "mistress" travelling throughout "Ecto-Space". This mistress (AUDIO: The Choice [+]Loading...["The Choice (audio story)"], The Search [+]Loading...["The Search (audio story)"]) was very similar to Romana in voice, personality, and appearance. (TV: Warriors' Gate [+]Loading...["Warriors' Gate (TV story)"], et al.) By another account, this mistress travelled with a robot animal instead named B.E.S.. (PROSE: The Choice [+]Loading...["The Choice (novelisation)"]) Romana and K9 eventually decided to return to N-Space, (AUDIO: The Invasion of E-Space [+]Loading...["The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)"]) passing through a mirror with K9 to return to their universe. (AUDIO: Zagreus [+]Loading...["Zagreus (audio story)"])

Return to Gallifrey[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana visited the vampire planet to check upon its residents where she encountered Bernice Summerfield. The pair and the Seventh Doctor became aware of Agonal's plan to resurrect the Great Vampire, after which they went to the Tomb of Rassilon where Agonal was tricked by Rassilon. Romana elected to remain on Gallifrey. (PROSE: Blood Harvest [+]Loading...["Blood Harvest (novel)"])

Romana met Ruath and was trapped by her in a miniscope to prevent her from stopping her plan to turn the Time Lords into vampires. Romana was later picked up by Spandrell and, according to one account, received a position on the High Council. (PROSE: Goth Opera [+]Loading...["Goth Opera (novel)"]) She was shocked that the Fifth Doctor had become President and then run away from his responsibilities. (AUDIO: Extermination [+]Loading...["Extermination (audio story)"])

Working closely with the High Council, Romana planned to bring Amy (later known as Abby) to the Time Lord Academy in order to convince them to begin admitting non-Gallifreyan students. (AUDIO: The Chaos Pool [+]Loading...["The Chaos Pool (audio story)"])

President of the High Council[[edit] | [edit source]]

Gaining the Presidency[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana and K9 on Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Appropriation [+]Loading...["Appropriation (audio story)"])

There were multiple contradictory accounts of how Romana became the President. According to one account, Romana ran against an individual in an election held after her predecessor was found drunk whilst in charge of the Sash of Rassilon. She narrowly won, winning 53% of the vote to her rival's 47% according to Spandrell. (PROSE: Happy Endings [+]Loading...["Happy Endings (novel)"])

According to other accounts, she won the Presidency by invoking the ancient right of challenge against her predecessor. (AUDIO: Insurgency [+]Loading...["Insurgency (audio story)"], PROSE: Gallifrey: A Rough Guide [+]Loading...["Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)"]) In one telling, the President whom she challenged and ousted was Flavia herself, even though it had been Flavia who had invited her onto the High Council. (PROSE: Gallifrey: A Rough Guide [+]Loading...["Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)"]) In another, a coup to which Romana had no ties overthrew Flavia, and a new, male President was sworn in. It was against him that Romana invoked a right of challenge against the President and been successful, succeeding him, after she had been "asked to become President", in spite of her lack of political experience.

One of Romana's first actions as President was to establish a Tharil embassy and, in her first speech, she called an end to Gallifrey's policy of isolationism. (PROSE: Happy Endings [+]Loading...["Happy Endings (novel)"])

According to one account, soon after taking office Romana suffered an epileptic fit caused by the Carnival Queen, who wished to threaten the rational underpinnings of the universe. During this fit, she signed an executive order releasing three hundred prisoners from Shada, including Grandfather Paradox. (PROSE: Christmas on a Rational Planet [+]Loading...["Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)"], Crimes Against History [+]Loading...["Crimes Against History (short story)"]) However, another account stated that Salyavin, upon leaving Shada on his own centuries before Romana's time, used his powers to make the Time Lords forget about Shada. Romana herself told Skagra she had "never even heard of it", referring to the prison as "the actions of previous administrations". (WC: Shada [+]Loading...["Shada (webcast)"])

Abduction[[edit] | [edit source]]

In the early days of her Presidency, Romana was abducted by the Daleks and spent more than two decades in captivity before escaping with the help of the Doctor, now in his sixth incarnation. During her absence, a predecessor stepped in for her. (AUDIO: The Apocalypse Element [+]Loading...["The Apocalypse Element (audio story)"]) Upon returning to Gallifrey, she resumed the Presidency. (AUDIO: Weapon of Choice [+]Loading...["Weapon of Choice (audio story)"], etc.)

Trouble with anti-time[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana sanctioned an experiment with the Celestial Intervention Agency to look into the phenomenon of anti-time. As part of this experiment, she went with Coordinator Vansell on an extraction mission to collect the Eighth Doctor and his companion Charlotte Pollard, informing them that Charley's survival after the crash of the R101 had caused damage to the Web of Time. Travelling into the universe of anti-time, they discovered the Neverpeople that resulted from the Gallifreyans' use of the Oubliette of Eternity. As Sentris was manipulating Vansell to explode a critical mass of anti-time in the Panopticon, she reset her presidential codes in the Matrix. Rassilon claimed that she had the Matrix's favour and a door was created that returned her to Gallifrey, with Charley's survival resolved. (AUDIO: Neverland [+]Loading...["Neverland (audio story)"])

Romana had Cardinal Braxiatel monitor the section of the galaxy where the Doctor's TARDIS had been staying since the anti-time explosion. She and Leela entered the Matrix to talk to Rassilon, who had appeared in Leela's dreams, and encountered the infected Doctor and a manifestation of the TARDIS. Romana helped the Doctor recover before banishing him to the Divergent Universe as a precaution against the spread of anti-time. She told Leela that she believed that they had the beginnings of a beautiful friendship. (AUDIO: Zagreus [+]Loading...["Zagreus (audio story)"])

Investigating the Timonic Fusion Device[[edit] | [edit source]]

After Nepenthe of the Free Time movement took possession of the Timonic Fusion Device that had allegedly been disassembled, Romana interrogated arms dealer Mephistopheles Arkadian about the movement. With the Monan Host threatening invasion of Gryben to obtain the device, she had to stop Coordinator Narvin from launching Battle TARDISes and Cardinal Braxiatel from stopping an evacuation. She used her position to stop a war by going to the planet herself, as she knew if she was on the planet any action which would kill Monan forces would also kill herself. She learnt that the device was a bluff. (AUDIO: Weapon of Choice [+]Loading...["Weapon of Choice (audio story)"])

Romana organised a fake temporal summit to draw out Free Time, sending Narvin as the Time Lord delegate and Leela as an undercover agent. Hossak caused a number of changes to the timeline, culminating in Romana, who joined the conference, becoming a paradox. Over the course of the summit, Romana identified the Monan delegate V'rell as a member of Free Time and Hossak as the one behind the timeline alterations. Hossak tried to kill Romana due to her paradoxical nature, after which she was arrested. (AUDIO: Square One [+]Loading...["Square One (Gallifrey audio story)"])

Inquisitor Darkel presided over a judicial inquiry into Romana's actions on Gryben. Romana provided evidence that she had reason to believe that the device was genuine, assisted by information from K9 and Narvin and a data bomb planted in the Matrix by Braxiatel. She also learnt about how and why Braxiatel began his collection and went back in time to stop the retro-crime that occurred in stealing the device. (AUDIO: The Inquiry [+]Loading...["The Inquiry (audio story)"])

Arkadian invited Romana to Earth to discuss the Timonic Fusion Device, meeting on the Calais Transcontinental Express in 1939. Romana learnt of Commander Torvald's plan involving Sissy Pollard and, later, that he was an incarnation of Andred. (AUDIO: A Blind Eye [+]Loading...["A Blind Eye (audio story)"])

Darkel's opposition[[edit] | [edit source]]

As the High Council was comprised of herself and three cardinals who were not especially sympathetic to her, Romana appointed the Arcalian Chapter Castellan Wynter to the Council. Cardinal Braxiatel attempted to have Romana make him her High Chancellor to support her, but she was loath to be seen to hand high offices to her friends.

Romana, Leela and K9 Mark I encountered Pandora in the vaults and finally came to understand why her first incarnation had initiated her regeneration. Pandora told her that Romana was the result of centuries of genetic manipulation and intended to be her new host body. (AUDIO: Lies [+]Loading...["Lies (audio story)"])

Romana took Leela on a short holiday to Davidia after she decided that she wanted to leave Gallifrey. Their break was cut short by the arrival of a charred body that arrived in an anomalous TARDIS, a TARDIS that they learnt from Braxiatel must be from the future. Hoping to help the charred Time Lord, Romana and Leela entered a sensory tank with him, where she experienced the world through Leela's viewpoint, bringing them to more of an understanding. (AUDIO: Spirit [+]Loading...["Spirit (audio story)"])

Darkel manipulated Romana into appointing Braxiatel as her High Chancellor, causing some controversy. She also put Braxiatel in charge of the Academy, now educating off-world students from the Temporal Powers. After Wynter released Pandora, Romana realised that he was the charred man, having gone back in time to warn her of Pandora. Braxiatel absorbed the past and present aspects of Pandora and, to protect the Time Lords, he was exiled. (AUDIO: Pandora [+]Loading...["Pandora (audio story)"])

Romana gave Leela a job at the Academy and had her monitor the situation there, fearing that Darkel might incite civil war. Influenced by Pandora, she became more paranoid and agitated about the Inquisitor Prime's actions and murdered Andred, (AUDIO: Insurgency [+]Loading...["Insurgency (audio story)"]) harming her friendship with Leela. She started having dreams of being Imperiatrix.

Romana as Imperiatrix of Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Imperiatrix [+]Loading...["Imperiatrix (audio story)"])

After a terrorist bombing at the Academy, Romana had a political debate with Darkel and wanted to put her and Narvin on trial for their actions. In response to Darkel making a bid for the presidency and at Pandora's suggestion, she declared herself Imperiatrix of Gallifrey and crowned herself with the Coronet of Rassilon. This connected her to the Matrix and gave Pandora form as Romana's first incarnation, declaring herself to be Imperiatrix. (AUDIO: Imperiatrix [+]Loading...["Imperiatrix (audio story)"])

Civil War and aftermath[[edit] | [edit source]]

Freed by her Chancellery Guards, Romana began the Gallifreyan Civil War. She targeted the Capitol's infrastructure and stopped TARDISes from functioning rather than attacking people, not wanting anyone to be hurt and seeking to avoid a time war. In addition to this, she asked Commentator Gerber to broadcast propaganda to win support. She travelled to the Anomaly Vault in order to get Wynter's TARDIS to have an advantage against Pandora, but whilst she was there she was attacked by Aesino who she thought she might be able to use. (AUDIO: Fractures [+]Loading...["Fractures (audio story)"])

Following her experience in the vault, Romana was weakened. However, she managed to trick Pandora into having a meeting inside the Matrix where she was taken by the Anomaly Vault's sentience before Romana had the Matrix completely wiped. (AUDIO: Warfare [+]Loading...["Warfare (audio story)"])

Due to Romana's weakened status, Chancellor Valyes became Acting President before appointed Darkel as his successor. Romana argued that this was not politically sound and both she and Cardinal Matthias laid claims to the presidency, with Romana agreeing to regenerate should it be deemed necessary. (AUDIO: Appropriation [+]Loading...["Appropriation (audio story)"]) Darkel and Matthias had her arrested for high treason, but she was released after Braxiatel returned and made a superior claim for the presidency, immediately resigning and naming Matthias his successor before returning to exile. (AUDIO: Mindbomb [+]Loading...["Mindbomb (audio story)"])

Romana and Braxiatel after the Civil War. (AUDIO: Panacea [+]Loading...["Panacea (audio story)"])

Romana decided to return to the House of Heartshaven, where she found Janartis exhibiting signs of the Dogma Virus. She attempted to find a cure and learnt that Braxiatel had named Matthias as his successor as whoever was President would be doomed to fall to the virus. She found that the only way to cure the virus was to end the Time Lords' regenerative abilities, which she was hesitant to do. With the help of K9, Braxiatel used a Time Scoop to collect the biodata archive and asked Romana to decide whether to administer the cure or to let Gallifrey die and then rebuild it using the biodata. She made her decision (AUDIO: Panacea [+]Loading...["Panacea (audio story)"]) but Braxiatel then took her to the Axis. (AUDIO: Reborn [+]Loading...["Reborn (audio story)"])

Exploring other realities[[edit] | [edit source]]

Adventures[[edit] | [edit source]]

At the Axis with Braxiatel, Leela, K9 and Narvin, Romana resolved to explore alternative versions of Gallifrey to find a new home or a way to cure the Dogma Virus. In a world where regenerations were currency, she found out that she had not met the Doctor and that she had married Andred. She met her counterpart and her son, Antonin. (AUDIO: Reborn [+]Loading...["Reborn (audio story)"])

On another Gallifrey, Romana met a ruthless counterpart that went to great lengths to maintain order and have the Web of Time woven to Gallifrey's benefit. Her counterpart assigned the Burner Doctor to execute the prime Romana and Braxiatel was lost, falling into one of the Axis's portals after their escape. (AUDIO: Disassembled [+]Loading...["Disassembled (audio story)"])

After losing Braxiatel, Romana discovered a world where the Great Vampires had defeated the True Lords of Gallifrey. Lord Prydon attempted to make Romana his consort but, thanks to the immunity she gained in E-Space, this failed and she helped Lady Borusa to destroy them and, in the process, Gallifrey. Destroying another world - another Gallifrey - distressed Romana. (AUDIO: Annihilation [+]Loading...["Annihilation (audio story)"])

The group also visited a Gallifrey where the Time Lords were simian. (AUDIO: Forever [+]Loading...["Forever (audio story)"])

New Gallifrey[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana and Leela on another Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Gallifrey V)

When an alternative Romana was assassinated, Romana took her place and attempted to help the people of that world perfect their Eye of Harmony. Narvin's counterpart realised that she was from another world and threatened the slaves to make sure that she would comply with his wishes. However, the Eye turned out to be a prison for the Krilig and it was closed, stranding Leela, Narvin and herself on the alternative Gallifrey and K9 in the Axis. (AUDIO: Forever [+]Loading...["Forever (audio story)"])

Romana, as President, declared that she would form a New Gallifrey, banning slavery, instituting liberal policies and investing time in alternative time technologies. She identified exposure to the Time Vortex as a possible cure to the Dogma Virus. She mediated a dispute about access to Zeiton-7 between the Outsiders, led by Leela, and the Mining Guild led by Councillor Allora. (AUDIO: Emancipation [+]Loading...["Emancipation (Gallifrey audio story)"])

Romana attended a conference into alternative time technologies and used money as an incentive to get the progress she needed. She was informed by Castellan Slyne that Kavil had discovered a signal in the Time Vortex, which they later discovered was the word "Axis". (AUDIO: Evolution [+]Loading...["Evolution (audio story)"])

She argued with Zakar about a section of land which the Outsiders controlled, prompting Narvin to advise moderation between the two parties. Kavil's signal was amplified and a portal opened in the Panopticon, through which arrived the Daleks. (AUDIO: Arbitration [+]Loading...["Arbitration (audio story)"])

Returning to Gallifrey Prime[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana escaped the Daleks in the Panopticon and managed to tell Castellan Slyne their only weakness, going to the armoury with Leela to halt the Daleks. They were successful in preventing the Daleks' plan to invade the multiverse and managed to return home, complete with a cure for the Dogma Virus. She killed a Dalek herself before leaving. (AUDIO: Extermination [+]Loading...["Extermination (audio story)"])

Shortly after arriving on what seemed to be her own Gallifrey (actually the Matrix), Romana was greeted by her next incarnation, calling herself Trey, who entered into a deal with her to return Gallifrey to its former state, thus saving herself thousands of years of work. She became increasingly tired sorting out the calculations and the negotiations. Trey was worried about her and Romana wanted her exiled, but was exiled herself by Trey for the death of Kolspen of Unvoss. She returned to Gallifrey just as there was trouble with the transduction barrier and the Eye of Harmony. (AUDIO: Renaissance [+]Loading...["Renaissance (audio story)"])

Second term as President[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana learnt that she had been saved by K9. Arriving in the real world, she was reinstated as President following Matthias's resignation. She could not decide whether or not to use the measure that would cure the Dogma Virus, but Leela decided for her, after which a Dalek force invaded from the Matrix. Romana tricked them into re-entering the Matrix before trapping them there, as was planned by Trey, who turned out to be a Matrix projection. She then set about rebuilding her Gallifrey, which was crippled by disease and war, and was unaware that Narvin had attempted to avert the creation of the Daleks to save her when he believed her to be trapped in the Matrix. (AUDIO: Ascension [+]Loading...["Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)"])

Romana travelled to Earth after Leela disappeared during an investigation that Romana sent her on. Whilst there, she encountered the Sixth Doctor again, as well as Mike Yates, and helped them defeat Rees after freeing Leela's captive consciousness. (AUDIO: Second Sight [+]Loading...["Second Sight (audio story)"])

Romana sent the Seventh Doctor to recover the Master's remains from Skaro (PROSE: Lungbarrow [+]Loading...["Lungbarrow (novel)"], AUDIO: The Eleven [+]Loading...["The Eleven (audio story)"]) shortly after he and Rasmus captured the Eleven. (AUDIO: The Eleven [+]Loading...["The Eleven (audio story)"]) By one account, she asked this of him in person after events involving the House of Lungbarrow, (PROSE: Lungbarrow [+]Loading...["Lungbarrow (novel)"]) whereas another account had her contacting the TARDIS to deliver the request. (PROSE: The TV Movie [+]Loading...["The TV Movie (novelisation)"])

The Nine captured Romana and placed her in his prison for the Doctor's companions. The Nine was later defeated thanks to River Song, Liv Chenka, Helen Sinclair, Charlotte Pollard and Bliss. (AUDIO: Companion Piece [+]Loading...["Companion Piece (audio story)"])

When a paradox began diminishing the Time Lords’ power, Romana became aware of herself and Leela both having memories of visiting Henlen, the location of the first flight of the original prototype TARDIS. They travelled back in time to correct the timeline but instead prevented the experiment, which had been sabotaged by the Sirens of Time, from happening at all, causing a timeline in which the Time Lords' mastery of time travel never came to be. With the help of the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors, she completed the first flight without the Sirens' interference, restoring the timelines. (AUDIO: Collision Course [+]Loading...["Collision Course (audio story)"])

Romana went to fix the engines of the Moros as a gesture for the Monan Host after diplomatic relations broke down. She planned to use her regeneration as a power boost to stop the ship from becoming a black hole, but her next incarnation sent Braxiatel back in time to stop her so as to avoid the war with Omega. To be doubly sure that this future would be avoided, Romana stepped down from the presidency and named Livia as her successor, appointing herself as Coordinator of the CIA.

One of her first acts was to investigate the death of Narvin. She then discovered that it was Gaal, a Warpsmith of Phaidon, that was behind the destruction of Moros and the Monan embassy on Gallifrey. With the help of Braxiatel she tracked the source of the paradoxes and found the Leela from the original timeline (i.e. Romana III's world) who was left on Legion. After negotiating with the Watchmaker, Romana found a way to stop the black hole and created a new timeline in which Narvin did not die. (AUDIO: Enemy Lines [+]Loading...["Enemy Lines (audio story)"])

As Coordinator of the CIA[[edit] | [edit source]]

First months of the Time War[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana during the early days of the Time War. (AUDIO: Desperate Measures [+]Loading...["Desperate Measures (audio story)"])

Romana was concerned when Narvin, whom she had made her Deputy Coordinator, told her of a secret facility belonging to the War Council, already suspicious of them and greatly angered by them due to their conduct and rhetoric when the Joint Council discussed the matter of granting asylum to the Warpsmiths. She and Narvin became aware of a War Council facility resurrecting dead Time Lords in the Death Zone and later gave Braxiatel and Ace permission to go on a mission. (AUDIO: Celestial Intervention [+]Loading...["Celestial Intervention (audio story)"])

After Narvin informed Romana that Ace seemed to be dead and that Braxiatel had disappeared, she planned to use the War Master in the fight against the Daleks. (AUDIO: Soldier Obscura [+]Loading...["Soldier Obscura (audio story)"]) Narvin warned her against it, but she proceeded with the plan, sending him with Leela to get information from Finnian Valentine concerning a weapon. She greatly regretted her decision after the Master went AWOL and Leela apparently died. (AUDIO: The Devil You Know [+]Loading...["The Devil You Know (audio story)"])

Rassilon's return[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana secretly came into contact with the Dalek Emperor and attempted to find a diplomatic solution to avoid further death. She decided to run for presidency again after Livia resigned and named Admiral Valerian as her successor. However, she was unsuccessful after Valerian made her conversations with the Emperor public, albeit heavily edited, and she denounced Valerian as a puppet President for the War Council. Valerian was used as a host body for the resurrection of Rassilon. Narvin gave Romana a message from Braxiatel - that he was right to abandon the war and that she ought to do what the Doctor had. After learning from Narvin what had happened on Project Revenant, Romana realised what the War Council planned and hurried to the Panopticon where they witnessed the Matrix Rassilon's resurrection in Valerian’s body. Romana was then arrested for treason for her negotiations with the Emperor. (AUDIO: Desperate Measures [+]Loading...["Desperate Measures (audio story)"]) To her surprise, Rassilon exonerated her and reinstated her as Coordinator.

President Eternal Rassilon's policies were very much against Romana's own views and she found herself at odds not only with the War Council but with the newly created Interior Defence Unit led by Cardinal Mantus, the Chancellery Guard having been dissolved. Trave arrived from the future and told them that Rassilon's rule would lead to ruin, but Rassilon executed his earlier incarnation. (AUDIO: Havoc [+]Loading...["Havoc (audio story)"])

Romana oversaw the CIA’s intervention in Ysalus’ civil war and arranged the planet’s preservation in a time freeze after the intervention failed, due to coming into conflict with a rival War Council Intervention, which instead escalated the war. (AUDIO: Partisans [+]Loading...["Partisans (audio story)"])

She was later informed by General Dalia that the freeze had been breached and Scythes were scavenging the planet. Together they worked with a native, Knyla Shen, to organise an evacuation of Yslaus, with Romana sending Eris back in time one year to meet Kynla and enable her to make contact with Gallifrey in the first place. The War Council erased Ysalus from time, with Kynla being too late to reach the CIA’s TARDISes. After learning Rassilon has arranged this whole Incident as a example, Romana discovered that Eris had helped Kynla send a signal across time calling for a resistance against the Time War. She arranged the signal’s preservation and helped Eris escape Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Collateral [+]Loading...["Collateral (audio story)"])

Although Narvin was unwilling to assist, Romana and Livia planned to assassinate Rassilon using the Sicari. Whilst the plan was almost successful, Rassilon survived. Romana and Narvin, who had sacrificed the chance of a new regeneration cycle to come to her aid, were locked away but freed and framed for killing a guard so as to avoid making martyrs of them. Mantus escorted them to a old TARDIS and exiled them from Gallifrey, informing them that the CIA was being subsumed into the IDU. They decided to find Leela. (AUDIO: Assassins [+]Loading...["Assassins (audio story)"])

Exile in the Time War[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana and Narvin during their exile in the Time War. (AUDIO: Time War: Volume Three)

Romana and Narvin landed Dreadnought Septima after escaping one of skirmishes in the war. Finding that there were TARDISes on board they hoped to get spare parts for their now damaged TARDIS. As the ship was launched before their exile, her CIA codes still worked. She found a fully equipped TARDIS and asked Narvin to collect anything that was useful. They discovered the results of Project Fury and how it related to the Sicari. She realised that Trellick knew how to help them escape as many Time Lords had come before. They escaped the collapsing ship and replaced the broken dematerialisation circuit. (AUDIO: Hostiles [+]Loading...["Hostiles (audio story)"]) Trying to trace Leela, they something went wrong with the signal and they decided to land to Njagilheim which proved a bit difficult. She was bitten by something even though there were no life nearby to do it. She then started hearing a low hum. They sort shelter with Agata and Ivor. She was warned about the ghosts by Aldiss and she later heard them screaming. She thought that they were coming a temporal storm. She realised that the planet's time line had been cracked by the Time War, and theorised that Leela was the start of the Paradox. Romana worked out that it was the Orrovix that was being hunting her because of her extensive travels with the Doctor. They managed to escape the time loop and the Orrovix before it collapsed. (AUDIO: Nevernor [+]Loading...["Nevernor (audio story)"]) During their travels they encountered members of the resistance against Rassilon (AUDIO: Deception [+]Loading...["Deception (audio story)"]) and heard of what had become of the Doctor, that he’d changed for the worse. (AUDIO: Beyond [+]Loading...["Beyond (audio story)"])

They finally found Leela on Unity but were exposed to the Daleks when local crimeboss Jarred McKenzie noticed their TARDIS. Romana had finally tired of the endless cycle of death and destruction bought about by the war and elected to stay behind to cover Leela and Narvin's escape from an imminent Dalek attack. At first intending to use a chameleon arch to "wipe the slate clean" she believed such a chance was undeserved given her previous actions, instead surrendering to the approaching Daleks. The Daleks opened fire after she refused to reveal where Narvin and Leela had escaped to (AUDIO: Unity [+]Loading...["Unity (audio story)"]) but she was saved by Braxiatel using his TARDIS’ shields. (AUDIO: Dissolution [+]Loading...["Dissolution (audio story)"]) Braxiatel took Romana with him into the Beyond, as he needed a second Time Lord to activate the Parallax. They journeyed through an alternate timeline where President Romana had authorised the destruction of the Cannavar system. They were pursued by the Ravenous, eventually ending up on this timeline’s version of Gallifrey where Romana was horrrified to witness Leela’s death. They were retrieved from Gallifrey by Braxiatel’s TARDIS controlled by the creator of the Parallax, an older version of Braxiatel. He revealed the Parallax was not actually a weapon but rather a gateway to a possible timeline where the Daleks never existed, which he’d stabilised, and offered to let Romana come with him. Whilst she decided the younger Braxiatel angrily returned to his TARDIS, but was killed by the Ravenous. Romana refused the older Braxiatel’s offer and he let her use his TARDIS to return to normal space. (AUDIO: Beyond [+]Loading...["Beyond (audio story)"])

Upon returning to the universe Romana was ambushed by the Daleks and captured. On the Time Strategist’s advice, the Emperor had her kept prisoner rather than killed. She was used as the Daleks’ spokesperson during their gambit to conquer Gallifrey with null zone technology but was freed by Leela. As they fled through the saucer, they were joined by Narvin, Livia and Mantus. After Mantus was exterminated and Livia wounded, Narvin and Livia decided to detonate his TARDIS to destroy the Daleks’ null zone power source but insisted Romana and Leela escape, believing they were more valuable to the war effort. Romana and Leela fled in Braxiatel’s TARDIS as the saucer was destroyed but were diverted to the Cloisters by Rassilon. He had Romana imprisoned in a pocket dimension where she would serve as an archivist, including of documentation of her own past glories, whilst Leela was conscripted. Romana urged Leela to fight with the better Time Lords and was then sent away. (AUDIO: Homecoming [+]Loading...["Homecoming (audio story)"])

Death[[edit] | [edit source]]

In the original timeline, during her second term Lady President Romana went on a mission to fix the engines of the Moros where she regenerated in a third incarnation in a desperate bid to stop the ship's core from turning into a black hole. (AUDIO: Enemy Lines [+]Loading...["Enemy Lines (audio story)"]) She would subsequently live through a devastating war precipitated by the return of Omega (AUDIO: Intervention Earth [+]Loading...["Intervention Earth (audio story)"]), which left her the last of her kind on a ruined Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Luna Romana [+]Loading...["Luna Romana (audio story)"], Enemy Lines [+]Loading...["Enemy Lines (audio story)"], etc.) However, Braxiatel later rewrote history to prevent this regeneration, claiming he was doing so on this third incarnation’s own instructions. (AUDIO: Enemy Lines [+]Loading...["Enemy Lines (audio story)"])

In the lead-up to the War in Heaven, Romana II - on a version of Gallifrey which may (PROSE: Crimes Against History (first edition) [+]Loading...{"var":"first edition","1":"Crimes Against History (short story)"}, ect.) or may not (PROSE: Crimes Against History (second edition) [+]Loading...{"var":"second edition","1":"Crimes Against History (short story)"}) have been the original - ended up regenerating into a "form more suitable for war". This Romana III adopted the title "War Queen and Mistress of the Nine Gallifreys".

Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]

After the Time War, the Tenth Doctor found K9 Mark II, who informed him that he had been placed by Romana. Reuniting with Leela, the Doctor admitted that he missed Romana, whilst Leela acknowledged her as one of those who were "gone". (AUDIO: Splinters [+]Loading...["Splinters (audio story)"])

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

At some point, Romana 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)"])

At one point, Romana had a Prime Computer brought to the TARDIS, and showed the Doctor its abilities, including calculating the length of the Doctor's scarf and suggesting to him that he should marry Romana. Romana was then kidnapped by the Liprogopolisians, who wanted a Prime Computer for themselves. She was safely returned to the TARDIS afterwards. (TV: Step Into the 80's! [+]Loading...["Step Into the 80's! (TV story)"])

At another point, Romana was abducted by Adam Mitchell as part his plan to get revenge on the Doctor, in collaboration with the Tremas Master. She was placed in stasis alongside the Doctor's multiple other companions, before being released by the Doctor's first eleven numbered incarnations with the help of Frobisher.

Alternate timelines[[edit] | [edit source]]

In an alternate timeline in which Aubertides succeeded in getting the Seventh Doctor's biodata and invaded Gallifrey, Greeneye and August tried to persuade Romana to tell them about secrets of the Matrix. When Romana refused their order, they killed her. (PROSE: Human Nature [+]Loading...["Human Nature (novel)"])

The Eighth Doctor saw a version of Romana in a projection built by the Matrix to show Gallifrey after being affected by anti-time. Romana had taken the title "Imperiatrix" and was much more ruthless than the Doctor expected. In the projection, she presided over the obliteration of a Dalek Fleet trapped in a time loop. (AUDIO: Neverland [+]Loading...["Neverland (audio story)"])

Many versions of Romana existed in alternate timelines accessible via the Axis. One version of Romana came from an alternate Gallifrey where the Time Lords sold their weapons to other species. (AUDIO: Reborn [+]Loading...["Reborn (audio story)"]) Another version came from a Gallifrey where Time Lords were Interventionists. In this timeline, Romana was regularly informed of the interventions, which her prime counterpart was horrified by. At the same time, this Romana was more bloodthirsty and short-tempered compared to her counterpart.

In an alternate timeline in the Beyond, President Romana ordered the Dreadnought Servia to destroy the Cannavar system, which was home to 22 billion people, to strike back against an enemy who were using it as a staging post to attack Gallifrey and had killed Leela in a previous attack.

(TV: Destiny of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)"]; AUDIO: A Blind Eye [+]Loading...["A Blind Eye (audio story)"]) When talking to people from a lower social standing, she did not talk down to them, in fact doing quite the reverse. (AUDIO: The Labyrinth of Buda Castle [+]Loading...["The Labyrinth of Buda Castle (audio story)"]) She also had something of a maternal side (TV: The Horns of Nimon [+]Loading...["The Horns of Nimon (TV story)"]) and did not appreciate being bowed and scraped and fawned at. (AUDIO: Legacy of Death [+]Loading...["Legacy of Death (audio story)"]) Unlike the Doctor, she was capable of identifying when a woman was attractive. (AUDIO: The Labyrinth of Buda Castle [+]Loading...["The Labyrinth of Buda Castle (audio story)"]) She never carried guns as she found that they had little defensive value, (AUDIO: The Paradox Planet [+]Loading...["The Paradox Planet (audio story)"]) but she was not above using them when absolutely necessary. (TV: The Horns of Nimon [+]Loading...["The Horns of Nimon (TV story)"], AUDIO: Extermination [+]Loading...["Extermination (audio story)"]) She obeyed the Time Lords' strict rule of non-intervention when it suited her. (AUDIO: The Paradox Planet [+]Loading...["The Paradox Planet (audio story)"]) She was annoyed when there wasn't any explanation, preferring the inexplicable to be explained. (AUDIO: The Haunting of Malkin Place [+]Loading...["The Haunting of Malkin Place (audio story)"])

Due to her new lifestyle of exploration and adventure, Romana dreaded the thought of spending the rest of her life on Gallifrey, (TV: Full Circle [+]Loading...["Full Circle (TV story)"]) finding that her life aboard the TARDIS was one full of "thrills and spills". (AUDIO: The Silent Scream [+]Loading...["The Silent Scream (audio story)"]) Upon returning from E-Space, however, she returned to her homeworld (AUDIO: The Apocalypse Element [+]Loading...["The Apocalypse Element (audio story)"]) and endeavoured to liberalise Time Lord society during her presidency, frustrated with the monopolistic and isolationist policies of Gallifrey. Her subjects saw her as a radical but she herself did not think so, simply believing that power gave her the responsibility to do what was right. (AUDIO: Weapon of Choice [+]Loading...["Weapon of Choice (audio story)"]) She was willing to sacrifice her position for the planet's safety, but made herself Coordinator of the CIA so that she might still steer the Time Lords in what she saw as the right direction. (AUDIO: Enemy Lines [+]Loading...["Enemy Lines (audio story)"]) She was also willing to regenerate in order to become President once more and lead the planet during the Last Great Time War. (AUDIO: Desperate Measures [+]Loading...["Desperate Measures (audio story)"])

In her free time, Romana enjoyed embarking on constructive and intellectual activities, finding recreation such as walking along a beach dull and pointless (TV: The Leisure Hive [+]Loading...["The Leisure Hive (TV story)"]) and finding shoe-shopping neither emancipating nor intellectually stimulating. (AUDIO: Wave of Destruction [+]Loading...["Wave of Destruction (audio story)"])

The Doctor described her as "wonderful", which she supposed she was, (TV: State of Decay [+]Loading...["State of Decay (TV story)"]) and as "the noblest Romana of them all", (TV: Warriors' Gate [+]Loading...["Warriors' Gate (TV story)"]) saying that he could not ask for more from a companion. (AUDIO: The Thief Who Stole Time [+]Loading...["The Thief Who Stole Time (audio story)"]) He also found her fun when she was being bossy and, as a result, was uncertain if he liked it or not when she agreed with him. (AUDIO: Dethras [+]Loading...["Dethras (audio story)"]) She inspired loyalty from Braxiatel, Leela and Narvin (AUDIO: Weapon of Choice [+]Loading...["Weapon of Choice (audio story)"], Lies [+]Loading...["Lies (audio story)"], etc.) and, despite her controversial policies, was broadly popular. (AUDIO: Ascension [+]Loading...["Ascension (Gallifrey audio story)"])

Romana was initially resentful of how Adric had forced himself upon them in joining their travels, but soon came to like him. (AUDIO: The Invasion of E-Space [+]Loading...["The Invasion of E-Space (audio story)"])

During the early days of the Last Great Time War, Romana sought diplomatic means to end the conflict with the Daleks, (AUDIO: Desperate Measures [+]Loading...["Desperate Measures (audio story)"]) intending to fight the war in her own way. (AUDIO: Celestial Intervention [+]Loading...["Celestial Intervention (audio story)"]) When such measures failed, she still believed that the war could be won without using Dalek-like methods. (AUDIO: Partisans [+]Loading...["Partisans (audio story)"]) The actions of Gallifrey under President Rassilon led her to believe that the planet was not the world that she had fought for and that it was no longer her home. (AUDIO: Assassins [+]Loading...["Assassins (audio story)"])

Skills[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana proved a scientific genius. Her intellect rivalled and sometimes surpassed the Doctor's, as proven by her superior sonic screwdriver. (TV: The Horns of Nimon [+]Loading...["The Horns of Nimon (TV story)"], AUDIO: The Labyrinth of Buda Castle [+]Loading...["The Labyrinth of Buda Castle (audio story)"])

Romana had great strength, as shown when she took on Sharrel unarmed. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)"])

Appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana wearing a stock tie with her frock coat and waistcoat. (TV: The Horns of Nimon [+]Loading...["The Horns of Nimon (TV story)"])

Romana was a small, neat woman, (PROSE: Blood Harvest [+]Loading...["Blood Harvest (novel)"]) noticeably shorter than her previous incarnation, (AUDIO: Luna Romana [+]Loading...["Luna Romana (audio story)"]) and was aristocratically beautiful with long fair hair and a high forehead. (PROSE: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (novelisation)"]) She had pert lips, a noble brow and fair skin. (AUDIO: The Romance of Crime [+]Loading...["The Romance of Crime (audio story)"]) After regenerating, she described herself as having an imposing forehead, nice hair, a neat little chin and slightly overlong arms, although the Fourth Doctor assured her that their length was fine. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks (novelisation)"]) Duggan thought that she looked twenty-five. (PROSE: City of Death [+]Loading...["City of Death (novelisation)"])

Romana once donned a pink version of the Doctor's coat, with a white version of his scarf. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)"]) She also wore a variety of dresses, building on her previous incarnation's sense of style; (TV: The Androids of Tara [+]Loading...["The Androids of Tara (TV story)"], The Creature from the Pit [+]Loading...["The Creature from the Pit (TV story)"]) including copies of the Third Doctor's smoking jacket of rust orange velvet, white shirt, and black bow tie. (PROSE: The Well-Mannered War [+]Loading...["The Well-Mannered War (novel)"]; AUDIO: The Well-Mannered War [+]Loading...["The Well-Mannered War (audio story)"]) She wore a white blouse under a plain black gymslip when she and the Fourth Doctor teamed up with Detective Duggan to save Earth from Scaroth, (TV: City of Death [+]Loading...["City of Death (TV story)"]) On Tigella, she wore a frilled dress in ruby. (TV: Meglos [+]Loading...["Meglos (TV story)"]) When defeating the Nimon, she wore a scarlet frock coat, a brocade waistcoat, a white shirt, an white stock tie, beige jodhpur trousers, and black boots. (TV: The Horns of Nimon [+]Loading...["The Horns of Nimon (TV story)"]) When going to help Tharils to escape slavery, she wore a vermillion blouse and indigo trousers. (TV: Warriors' Gate [+]Loading...["Warriors' Gate (TV story)"]) Once she returned to Gallifrey, she wore traditional Time Lord garb. (PROSE: Goth Opera [+]Loading...["Goth Opera (novel)"])

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

Romana II?[[edit] | [edit source]]

The designation "Romana II" is not precisely derived from DWU fiction. Rather, it comes from various reference works like The Companions of Doctor Who and Doctor Who Magazine itself. However, stories in the Gallifrey audio series, such as Warfare, stated that the Lalla Ward Romana was the second incarnation of Romana, and her predecessor the first.

So, while these names — "Romana I" and "Romana II", and so on — never appeared in any work of fiction that this Wiki covers, valid or not, the convention of these Roman numeral based names are so prevalent in official usage that they are simply the logical choice given that they're best known under these names.

Other notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Romana (or the TARDIS) on Skaro. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks)
  • According to the short story The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe, the companion in Destiny of the Daleks is not Romana but the TARDIS, retroactively making this incarnation's first appearance City of Death. However, other sources, including the Gallifrey series, dispute this.
  • BBV Productions released two original audio adventures which featured Lalla Ward with K9. Since they had the rights to K9 but not Romana or E-Space, she has no name other than "Mistress" in the audio plays, while the characters refer to E-Space as "the pocket universe". The Mistress later returned in PROSE: The Choice.
  • Although a relationship was never explicitly shown or intended by the writers,[disputed statement] many fans have found the signs of a romantic relationship particularly evident in the story City of Death, perhaps reflecting the real-life romance between Tom Baker and Lalla Ward which reportedly blossomed during the production of that story and led to their brief marriage. In 1980, Ward and Baker made a series of television commercials in Australia for Prime Computers, performing as Romana and the Doctor. The advertisements feature a parody romance between the two characters, culminating in the Doctor proposing marriage to Romana.
  • In City of Death, Romana says she is 125, but in The Ribos Operation, she claims to be nearly 140, so her age cannot be accurately placed without further information. However, it is possible that Romana is simply lying about her age.
  • The status of Romana during the events of The Five Doctors depends upon which version is viewed. In the original 1983 broadcast version (and four-episode rebroadcasts), she is trapped in the vortex with the Fourth Doctor when the Time Scoop malfunctioned (as evidenced by an image of the two of them that appears on Borusa's monitor). For the 1995 Special Edition, only the Fourth Doctor is visible in the vortex image. According to production notes on the 2008 DVD release, Romana is not trapped with the Doctor in the Special Edition version. However, in the webcast Shada, Romana remembers being taken out of time along with the Doctor.
  • Three alternative "physical" forms of Romana seen in Part One of Destiny of the Daleks were played, uncredited, by Yvonne Gallagher, Lee Richards and Maggy Armitage respectively (the voice continued to be that of Lalla Ward).
  • Romana's clothing was examined in the 2|entertain documentary Lalla's Wardrobe: A Frockumentary.
