Rani Chandra was a teenage girl who assisted Sarah Jane Smith and her friends in combating alien menaces.
Biography
Rani quickly became mixed up in alien adventures after she and her parents, Haresh and Gita Chandra, moved into 36 Bannerman Road in Ealing, London, the house formerly occupied by Alan and Maria. After meeting Sarah Jane, Rani was stalked by the evil entity that manifested itself as Odd Bob the clown. She and the others collectively managed to stop the entity from rising to full power. (SJA: The Day of the Clown) Although Sarah Jane was initially hesitant, Rani quickly ingratiated herself and became a vital member of Smith's group, along the way learning about many of Sarah Jane's adventures and even becoming familiar with the Doctor and the TARDIS. (SJA: The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith)
After this Rani helped Sarah Jane stop the Ancient Lights take over the world through Martin Trueman. She was temporarily taken over by the lights due to her star sign. (SJA: Secrets of the Stars)
Weeks after this incident Rani picked up an alien pendant from a boy in school. She realised that the pendant allowed the user to control others. Scared by its power Rani left it in Sarah Jane's attic while Sarah Jane was away for the weekend. However when Paul Langer found it she and Luke, unable to contact Sarah Jane, had to contact Maria Jackson and her father for assistance in order to stop him from being taken over by the Berserker pendants alien power. (SJA: Mark of the Berserker)

In later weeks Sarah Jane was trapped in the past in the village where her parents had died. The Trickster was at work. Clyde and Rani found the puzzle-box given to Sarah Jane and it protected them from the changes that the Trickter's interference caused to modern Earth. They used this as an advantage to eventually stop him and free his Graske slave Krislok. (SJA: The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith)
In Autumn 2009 Rani's mother was kidnapped by Bane fugitive Mrs Wormwood. She and Sarah Jane rescued the two of them from an attack from the enemy Bane agents. Rani and Sarah Jane then accompanied the Brigadier to the Black Archive to find the Tunguska Scroll which would lead them to the mind of the evil entity that the Bane were looking for, Horath. However Mrs Wormwood double crossed them and teamed up with rogue Sontaran Commander Kaagh to take over the universe, with Luke in tow. Rani and co confronted Wormwood,Kaagh and Luke at the entrance to Horath's domain. Sarah Jane rescued Luke and Kaagh threw Mrs Wormwood and himself into the alternate reality just before it sealed itself forever. (SJA: Enemy of the Bane)
Later in the year Rani and the gang also had to deal with a minor Slitheen incursion in the attack when a lone member of the Slitheen family disguised as galactic ambassador Ranius attempted to steal K-9. However they managed to send him back to where he came from. (SJA: From Raxacoricofallapatorius With Love)
In later 2009 she helped Captain Tybo catchAndrovax a Veil who was the Judoons most wanted criminal. She did so, but at the same time her parents had gone to a Genetic Systems lab in order to expand her mothers business. They where searched by Judoon and survived. They later told Rani but she did believe her. (SJA: Prisoner of the Judoon)
After this she received an email from her old friend Samuel Lloyd. He tricked her into going back to her old home town and investigating a Fun Fair park, where she found an alien called Eve. Eve was a time sensitive alien, and the last of her kind. Using her abilities, she showed Rani her future. The vision showed showed her as an old lonely woman living in 13 Bannerman in the year 2059. After it is revealed Sarah Jane, Luke and Clyde had followed Rani, she took Eve out of the ride she hid in, but Eve only wanted to play and forced Rani and 4 homeless people to have fun. With Eve's power growing out of control, Sarah Jane learned that doing this would kill Eve, so she and Clyde got Eve to her mother ship where Rani was freed from Eve's power. Thankful and granting wishes by manipulating timelines, the mothership recalled a wish that Rani had made earlier, that Sarah Jane, Luke, and Clyde would just leave her alone, taking them out of existence from that point onward. This it turns out lead to the vision of the future Rani had seen earlier. In 2059, when telling her story to a young boy, it is revealed he is the son of Eve and Sam Lloyd. He restores Sarah Jane, Luke and Clyde to the timeline and the future is changed again. (SJA: The Mad Woman in the Attic).

Bridesmaid
Rani was asked to be the bridesmaid for Sarah Jane, despite previously spying on Sarah Jane, along with Luke and Clyde. They found out she was dating a man named Peter Dalton, who Sarah Jane met in a shoe shop. Mr Smith and K-9 revealed that the trio secretly put a tracking device on Sarah Jane's car. A few days later, Rani and Clyde broke into Peter's house, suspecting that he isn't quite human. They find out that he doesn't live there. They tell Sarah Jane this, but Sarah Jane told them that he has a flat in London nearer his firm. The Doctor appeared, and demanded that the wedding was to be stopped. She is teleported along with Clyde, Luke and the Doctor who crashed the wedding to nowhere in a time trap. Thanks to the TARDIS' power and Clyde manipulating it as well as Peter withdrawing the Trickster's agreement, they are able to escape and the Trickster explodes into nothing. She gets a look inside the TARDIS when the Doctor comes to Bannerman Road. (SJA: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith)

Behind the Scenes
- The character's name is similar to that of 1980s Doctor Who villain the Rani, though the producers have stated that there is no connection between the characters. "Rani" is an Indian word for queen, hence the villain's usage of it as a title. Given Rani's ethnicity, the name makes sense in her case as well.
