During Romana I's regeneration, one of the forms she considered before settling on the definitive Romana II was described as "a towering Amazon with rich, red hair", wearing "a bizarre two-piece outfit covered by a long, see-through robe". Romana thought the Doctor would find this body "much too intimidating". (PROSE: The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe)
By most accounts, the third body was a buxom woman with an elaborate outfit that revealed her midriff and included several necklaces, as well as a headdress hung with chains of gold rings. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks) By another account, the "exotic female" was not human-looking but "of some alien race", and was the fourth body tried. Although most accounts agreed that these bodies were indeed tried on by Romana, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks) possibly as tentative genetic configurations rather than full incarnations, (PROSE: Original Sin) one account claimed that these forms were actually the shapeshifter Iraj, a manifestation of the Doctor's TARDIS, impersonating Romana. (PROSE: The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe)
