== Biography == | |||
=== Upbringing === | |||
Blon was born on the [[Raxacoricofallapatorian]] homeworld [[Raxacoricofallapatorius]] to the [[Slitheen family]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') In a Slitheen family tradition, she hatched from her [[egg]] buried deep underground in a [[cave]], alone and with no [[food]] or [[light]], and had to burrow her own way out to survive. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sync (audio story)|Sync]]'') | |||
Blon had at least two brothers, [[Jocrassa Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen]] as well as [[Asquith Slitheen|another]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'') She regarded them as "wonderful" and "bold". ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') | |||
According to the story Blon told the [[Ninth Doctor]], she took part in her first hunt when she was thirteen. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') It took place in [[darkness]], and, as Blon would later recall, she won. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sync (audio story)|Sync]]'') She knew that if she refused to join her family's criminal activities, she would undergo unpleasant ritual execution with [[Venom Grub]]s at the hands of [[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen's father|her father]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') [[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen's mother|Her mother]] tried to kill her a number of times. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sync (audio story)|Sync]]'') | |||
Blon had no [[children]] during her life as a Slitheen. She did, however, imply that she was [[married]] at some point; when [[Cathy Salt]] asked "Margaret" if there was a "[[Blaine (Boom Town)|Mr. Blaine]]", she replied "not any more". ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') | |||
=== Criminal career === | |||
By [[March]] [[2006]], the Slitheen family had killed Margaret Blaine so that Blon Fel-Fotch Passamer-Day could wear her skin. ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'') Blaine died screaming. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sync (audio story)|Sync]]'') The [[Ninth Doctor]] presumed that she had done it personally; Blon did not dispute him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') | |||
She went along with her family's plan to trigger a [[nuclear war]] on [[Earth]], in order to devastate the [[planet]] and sell the radioactive remains as [[starship]] fuel. ([[TV]]: ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'') She was present at [[10 Downing Street]] with her fellow Slitheen, "[[Jocrassa Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen|Joseph Green]]" and "[[Asquith Slitheen|Oliver Charles]]". Green had taken over the government as Acting Prime Minister, which would give the Slitheen more power in Britain. Blaine was present when the Slitheen murdered [[General]] [[R. Asquith]], and remained with Green for the rest of the crisis. When [[Rose Tyler]], [[Harriet Jones]] and [[Indra Ganesh]] discovered the body of the [[Prime Minister (Aliens of London)|Prime Minister]], Blon taunted them and started to kill Indra. ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'') | |||
Blon hunted down Rose and Harriet but was distracted by the Doctor when he entered with a [[fire extinguisher]]. The Doctor, Rose, and Harriet placed themselves safely behind the walls of the [[Cabinet Room]]. Thinking they couldn't do anything trapped inside the "box", Blon continued with the plot. She took the skins of fellow Slitheen members who had been summoned to Downing Street and waited for the launch codes to be given to Downing Street. The Doctor contacted [[Mickey Smith]], who launched the missile [[UGM-84A]] at Downing Street, killing the Slitheen while the Doctor, Rose and Harriet rode out the explosion inside a small, sturdy cupboard. ([[TV]]: ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'') | |||
Blon escaped the destruction of Downing Street by using an emergency [[teleport]] which could only carry one. The teleport landed her in a skip on the [[Isle of Dogs]] before arriving in [[Cardiff]], where she managed to get herself elected [[Lord Mayor of Cardiff]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') Her predecessor, [[Barry Jackson]], had killed the former mayor and blamed it on the [[Auton]] invasion. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[One Rule (audio story)|One Rule]]'') | |||
Blon had easily won the mayoral election thanks to low-voter turnout, describing herself as the perfect example of what happened when the people of Cardiff did not make use of their right to vote. In an attempt to leave Earth, she inspected a crashed [[Illyria]]n spaceship and met [[Suzie Costello]]. The two were joined together by bangles and targeted by missiles, leading them to team up to locate the pilot to save themselves. They succeeded and reached a stalemate with Blon being aware of Suzie breaking [[Torchwood Institute|Torchwood]]'s rules and Suzie being aware of Blon's identity. The two parted. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sync (audio story)|Sync]]'') | |||
Secretly, Blon planned to take advantage of the [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift|space-time rift located there]] and advocated a plan for a proposed [[nuclear power plant]] called [[Blaidd Drwg]]. She wanted to cause an "accident" at Blaidd Drwg. This disaster, located so near the rift, would destroy Earth and provide her [[tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator]] with sufficient power for her to ride the "surf" into space to escape. She knew that failing this, anyone who arrested her would take the extrapolator for themselves, having "considerable technology of their own" and being "captivated" by the extrapolator. The extrapolator was programmed to lock onto the nearest [[alien]] power source and open the rift, still allowing her escape. | |||
She killed anyone who questioned her plans, such as [[Cleaver (Boom Town)|Mr Cleaver]]. However, in a rare act of mercy, she spared the journalist [[Cathy Salt]] after hearing the young woman talk about her family, reminding Blon of her own lost relatives. Soon after, the [[Ninth Doctor]] and his companions arrived to stop her; [[Jack Harkness]] confiscated the extrapolator and used it to refuel the TARDIS quicker. The Doctor remained uncertain as to what do as she had been sentenced to death on her homeworld in absentia; Blon pleaded the Doctor for mercy and clemency. When the extrapolator began opening the rift through the TARDIS, Blon, threatening Rose, demanded Jack to place the extrapolator at her feet. The extrapolator nearly pulled apart the TARDIS, but the [[heart of the TARDIS]] was forced open and Blon looked directly into its light; she was regressed backward along her timeline to the form of an [[egg]]. The Doctor returned her to her home planet to be placed with another family. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') | |||
