Appearing in two episodes, the mysterious fortune teller portrayed by child actress [[Skye Bennett]] (credited only as Little Girl) is a psychic, ageless tarot card reader. Outwardly a little girl, she is seen in both the 19th and 21st centuries as appearing roughly the same age. In her first appearance, "[[Dead Man Walking]]", she leads Jack to the location of the second [[Resurrection Gauntlet]] but promised it would bring further complications. Appearing for a second time in a [[19th century]] flashback, in the episode "[[Fragments]]", she approaches Jack to read his cards and tells him he will see two new centuries with Torchwood before meeting the Doctor once again. The nature of this character, and the source of her abilities, are unrevealed.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

At some point, the little girl became stranded in Wales and came to the attention of Torchwood Cardiff. However, they could not repatriate her as her planet no longer existed. (AUDIO: The Torchwood Archive)

In 1899, the little girl approached Jack Harkness in Cardiff and read his cards, telling him that he would see two new centuries with Torchwood Cardiff before he would be reunited with the Doctor. (TV: Fragments)

On 31 December 1999, the psychic took the form of a little girl because it went well with the dress she had selected. She approached Alex Hopkins in Newport and told him about his mother's cancer and handed him Object 1, telling him that it would reveal which of his teammates were spies for the Committee. She also greeted Jeremiah Bash Henderson, who would watch the encounter from the Torchwood Archive some centuries later. (AUDIO: The Torchwood Archive)

Jack later sought her out for advice on finding the second resurrection gauntlet. She cryptically told Jack where to find the gauntlet and Jack left to get it, but not before she unsuccessfully warned him against using the gauntlet. (TV: Dead Man Walking)

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

  • It is hinted this girl may actually be Faith, the previous victim of the resurrection gauntlet, who battled Death to a standstill in Cardiff in 1479. This is supported by her knowledge of the glove and her apparent agelessness, but is contradicted in the audio story The Torchwood Archive. Though she appears human, her true nature remains unknown. Jack's encounter with her as he sought the gauntlet suggests an ongoing relationship with her beyond the two encounters chronicled thus far.
