Rose Noble was the daughter of Donna Noble and Shaun Temple, and a companion to the Fourteenth Doctor.
She was transgender, specifically non-binary and female-presenting, and often felt like an outsider, feeling that she was "from a different planet" due to the Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis which she had inherited from her mother's suppressed DoctorDonna persona. Her feelings of isolation lead her to easily sympathise with the Meep, an alien fleeing from another world, until the Meep revealed the Meep's true character in battle with the Doctor. When her mother was forced to become the DoctorDonna to prevent the Meep's attempted destruction of London, the meta-crisis was also awakened in Rose, but she ultimately chose letting go of the meta-crisis, feeling grateful to get to be her true, unadulterated self at last.
When the Doctor settled down on Earth to heal himself from his mental and emotional scars, Rose would occasionally take adventures with him in his TARDIS, such as a trip to Mars.

(TV: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"]) She also became vegan. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
Meeting the Doctor
In November 2023, (PROSE: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (novelisation)"]) on a night that changed her life forever, (PROSE: We Are Family [+]Loading...{"page":"35","1":"We Are Family (short story)"}) Rose and Donna met the Fourteenth Doctor just before a spaceship came crashing through the sky.

Skills
One of Rose's skills was craft making. (PROSE: TARDIS Data File: Rose Noble [+]Loading...["TARDIS Data File: Rose Noble (feature)"])
Behind the scenes
On 16 May 2022, Yasmin Finney teased her involvement in the 2023 specials with an Instagram post containing a rose and a blue diamond.[1] It was officially announced on doctorwho.tv by the BBC shortly after that Finney would be playing a character by the name of Rose.[2] Finney — a transgender actor herself — confirmed that her character would also be trans,[3] saying that Rose was a 15-year-old transgender girl with "a great supportive family".[4] On 30 August, the Doctor Who social medias revealed in a post on Finney's birthday the full name of her character, Rose Noble, confirming that the character is the daughter of Donna Noble and Shaun Temple.[5]
Age
In interviews, Rose was stated to be fifteen years old during the events of the 2023-set The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"], a revelation that creates contradictions for the show's timeline, not the least because The Star Beast is also stated in dialogue to be fifteen years after Journey's End [+]Loading...["Journey's End (TV story)"], before her parents could have actually met.[nb 1]
Russell T Davies has directly acknowledged this discrepancy, explaining that he chose to "fudge the years" with Donna to accommodate for the casting of the then-eighteen-year-old Finney in the role, before going on to jokingly give an in-universe explanation;
But you mustn’t forget, uh, that time cloud that descended on Camden in 2017 and dislocated everyone by exactly eight months and three days. We’ll tell that story one day. I will come to that in Series Seven.
Neither The Star Beast nor The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]'s broadcast versions give Rose a specific age, although she is unambiguously school-aged. However, the novelisation of The Giggle states her age to be 16.

Notes
