Biography
Annabel was born in England, but moved to Prague with her parents as a young girl. Her father, Patrick Lake, told them that he worked as an accountant and that he had been transferred there, when in truth he was a spy working for MI6, investigating Yuri Azarov. In November 1989, Annabel and her mother, Heather, were kidnapped by Azarov. Here they met the Eleventh Doctor, who was also being held captive. They discovered the Golem of Prague and freed him from Yuri's control. The Doctor sent Annabel to sleep to prevent the Mavora from feeding on her fear and, while she was asleep, Heather became the Golem to save the world from the Mavora Collective. She was destroyed in the process. (COMIC: The Broken Man)
She attended her mother's funeral with her father, where he promised never to lie to her again. She trained to join MI6 and work under her father. She was first in her year at everything, having promised herself that she would never again be a victim.
After the Cybermen's attempted invasion of Earth in 2005, MI6 decided to start operating in space, gathering intelligence, infiltrating the enemy and, when necessary, eliminating them, long before they reached Earth. It was around this time that Annabel discovered that her father had been blocking her transfer to UNIT. When she confronted him, he offered her a place on the Wonderland project. She was given converted cyber armor with some modifications, along with an Amaranian Star-Hopper on her birthday. She then started operating on Cornucopia, and Annabel and Patrick had moved there by 2012. (COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone, The Flood)
At this point, Annabel was working for Granny Solasta, the head of ThiefCorp, disguised as a Toliakk called Miss Ghost. Here she met the Doctor for a second time, as he and his friend Rory were captured by Solasta, who wanted to use the TARDIS to get to the Bank of Heaven, a ziggurat made from the same psychic metal that had resulted in Heather's death, which Annabel was investigating, and which was sending Cornucopia into poverty.
The Doctor was forced by Solasta and the other crime lords of Cornucopia to take them to the bank, where he tricked them into fighting over its riches. Annabel tried to stop them but thought better of it, choosing to save herself. The Doctor managed to destroy the ziggurat and escaped with Amy, Rory, Horatio Lynk and Annabel. The Doctor then correctly deduced that 'Miss Ghost' wasn't a Toliakk, and Annabel turned off her disguise. However, the Doctor had no idea who was under the suit as he had not yet met Annabel as a child and she didn't take off her helmet anyway, instead hinting that she knew him and that she'd be seeing him again soon. (COMIC: The Cornucopia Caper, Hunters of the Burning Stone)
After Granny Solasta's death, Annabel and Patrick continued to live on Cornucopia. Annabel was still disguised as Miss Ghost, and was now working in port authority. Continuing her investigation into psychic metal, she boarded Captain Pala's ship, using the Doctor's sonic screwdriver to access information. However, her cover was blown just after she found stores of liquid psychic metal. While the ship's crew were attacking her, the ship was attacked by the Hunters. Annabel grabbed a member of the crew, Tarky Pakko, and questioned him, finding out that they got the liquid from a mining ship in the Kell Nebula.
