| Long since she had last seen [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]], this incarnation of '''Romana''' traveled alone, occasionally picking up companions of her own. Eventually settling down on a planet orbiting the last sun in the universe, she was joined by [[Ponch]] before eventually regenerating into a younger body.

| == Biography ==
| |
| === Post-regeneration ===
| |
| According to one account, Romana had survived [[the War in Heaven]] and into what she described as a [[Post-War universe|“godless age”]]. 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 settle on a form identical to that of [[Miranda Pelham]], having that that she was a “lovely-looking woman”. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Tomb of Valdemar (novel)}})

| === Life in orbit of the last sun ===
| |
| Long since she had last seen [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]], Romana traveled alone, occasionally picking up companions of her own. She visited [[Ponch]] on a [[planet]] orbiting the last [[sun]] before the universe’s [[heat death]], where he lived among the last [[human|humans]]. Arriving on the planet, Romana disguised [[Romana's TARDIS|her TARDIS]] as the Janua Foris Inn so she could tell Ponch about his past life as [[Huvan]] during her earlier incarnation's encounter with [[Valdemar]]. She used a [[psychic]] attack to convince [[Ofrin]] to let her keep telling the story, but she found herself too weak to finish it. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Tomb of Valdemar (novel)}})
| |
| | |
| === Death and regeneration ===
| |
| While her story was still incomplete, Romana’s body was wearing thin from age, and she fell into the snow. At her request, Ponch carried her to [[Romana’s TARDIS|the inn]], wherein she [[regenerate|regenerated]] into a [[Romana V|new incarnation]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Tomb of Valdemar (novel)}})
| |
| | |
| == Personality ==
| |
| This incarnation of Romana was kind and vibrant, in spite of her apparent age. She had a penchant to laugh, even when she was enraged. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Tomb of Valdemar (novel)}})
| |
| | |
| == Appearance ==
| |
| At the start of her life, this incarnation of Romana had a young and pale face, with dark hair and fierce, but entrancing, eyes. Romana told [[Ponch]] that she had copied her appearance from [[Miranda Pelham]], noting that she'd done it before and would probably do it again and that Miranda was "such a lovely-looking woman". Ponch regarded her as “beautiful”.
| |
| | |
| Ultimately, after spending “a very long time” in the intense heat of the sun, her hair lightened to a chestnut color and her skin tanned with dark brown creases, making her resemble a much older woman. Ponch once described her as looking “ancient. Perhaps even as much as thirty cycles.” Her voice had grown “husky” with age.
| |
| | |
| While her movements were hindered by [[arthritis|arthritic pain]], she could still move with great speed and precision. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Tomb of Valdemar (novel)}})
| |
| | |
| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| *While neither have been officially connected, [[Paul Cornell]]'s {{cs|The Shadows of Avalon (novel)}} and [[Simon Messingham]]'s {{cs|Tomb of Valdemar (novel)}} were both released on the same day and depict a future incarnation of Romana who is described as pale, has grown estranged from the Doctor and reminds characters of their mothers.
