If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
This page lists appearances of Missy in the order in which she experienced them. It relies on much speculation to fit semi-contradictory sources together, and should absolutely not be seen as representative of this wiki's general policy.
Limiting factors[[edit source]]
Any story where Missy primarily uses an English accent should come before TV: Deep Breath, where she decided to "keep" the Twelfth Doctor's Scottish accent. Vice versa, any story where she primarily uses a Scottish accent should take place afterwards.
Missy encounters the Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald for the first time in TV: Dark Water. They do not meet each other again until TV: The Magician's Apprentice, therefore all stories featuring Missy with the Twelfth Doctor and Clara must take place after the aforementioned stories.
Timeline[[edit source]]

Early escapades[[edit source]]
