Biography
Early life
Naomi's parents were immigrants (AUDIO: Worlds Beyond [+]Loading...["Worlds Beyond (audio story)"]) who met at some point after the early 1940s. (AUDIO: Operation Dusk [+]Loading...["Operation Dusk (audio story)"]) Because her parents were not successful, she was driven to accomplish what they could not and joined UNIT, which she felt was where she needed to be.
However, Naomi was soon frustrated with the workplace sexism and UNIT's refusal to send her on any missions. (AUDIO: Worlds Beyond [+]Loading...["Worlds Beyond (audio story)"]) Due to this enforced downtime, she read many UNIT field reports and became well aware of who the Doctor was, as well as the Sea Devils. (AUDIO: Storm of the Sea Devils [+]Loading...["Storm of the Sea Devils (audio story)"])
Naomi had a cousin who died two years before she began travelling with the Fourth Doctor. (AUDIO: Scream of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Scream of the Daleks (audio story)"])
Travels with the Fourth Doctor
In Calcutta, Naomi met Harry Sullivan for the first time, overjoyed about her first field mission. UNIT instructed Harry that his holiday was being diverted, and that he was in charge of overseeing her. Sent to investigate Ramesh Kamal's mysterious hotel development in the swamp, they soon discovered the Fourth Doctor, and a Sea Devil that Kamal was keeping chained in the hotel pool. Kamal wished to use the Sea Devils as slaves for his industrial complex. Later she and the Doctor were kidnapped by Sea Devils attempting to rescue Shurak, the Sea Devil that Kamal had captured, and the Doctor feigned impassivity and lack of caring for the atrocities being committed in an elaborate ruse, raging Naomi on, as he knew that Naomi's passion for what was right would convince the Sea Devils that not all humans were evil as Kamal. Naomi's bond with Shurak was instrumental in avoiding war. The Doctor invited Naomi into the TARDIS, to Harry's consternation, as he wanted to get on with his holiday. (AUDIO: Storm of the Sea Devils [+]Loading...["Storm of the Sea Devils (audio story)"])
Naomi was not impressed with the TARDIS, thinking it would be even bigger on the inside than it was. On the Cicerone homeworld, Naomi was subjected to her vision of an ideal holiday, generated by the Ciceronian computer, which was filled with adventure, jet-skis, and scuba diving. When under threat from a hostile computer program, Abby, Naomi defended herself, and was astonished to see what she was capable of when no longer held back, although the Doctor maintained she could have died from the encounter. After they escaped the planet, she and Harry theorized that the apparent disastrous adventure they had been involved in could have been a generated holiday in of itself. (AUDIO: Worlds Beyond [+]Loading...["Worlds Beyond (audio story)"])
Naomi and Harry Sullivan travelled with the Fourth Doctor until an adventure in which they fought the Dominators and their Quarks. A great number of people died and, afterwards, the Doctor returned the two of them to Earth. Unbeknownst to him, he left them in the 2010s instead of the 1980s.

The Vulpreen invasion
Naomi and Harry joined UNIT under Kate Stewart and went to assist UNIT Australia. They became aware that Ros Green was in possession of an Ice Warrior, Abiathar, and, whilst investigating, were chased by Jakernia. They eventually regrouped with Kate and Petronella Osgood and helped release Abiathar into space to explode without causing any harm to Earth, after which they returned to the United Kingdom. (AUDIO: Fire and Ice [+]Loading...["Fire and Ice (audio story)"])
Whilst watching the news for clues on the Eleven's plans, Naomi recognised Director Prast as a Dominator and informed Kate. She and Osgood observed Portstone New Town with an omniscope and glided in with Junaid Mirza, discovering that it was actually a construction site making use of slaves. Naomi and Junaid evacuated the slaves after Prast set the nuclear reactor to go into meltdown. (AUDIO: Power of the Dominators [+]Loading...["Power of the Dominators (audio story)"])
After the destruction of the Starseeker, Kate asked that Naomi collect her from the UNIT safe house in Tromsø. (AUDIO: The Vulpreen Encounter [+]Loading...["The Vulpreen Encounter (audio story)"])
Naomi lost contact with Kate but managed to track her down and rescued her, Osgood and Jimmy Tan in a helicopter. She headed to Alberta with Osgood, meeting Yang Li there, and was caught in a temporal snare until Osgood was able to free her with a chrono-gauge. Afterwards, Axons emerged through a Vulpreen Arch. (AUDIO: By Jacqui McGee [+]Loading...["By Jacqui McGee (audio story)"])
Given that Axos had previously been defeated by the Third Doctor, Naomi went to Lake Claire to employ the Eleven's help. She put him in Faraday cuffs and took him through an arch to Axos where he proved a crucial part of Kate's plan to escape. (AUDIO: Axos Unleashed [+]Loading...["Axos Unleashed (audio story)"])
Kate sent Naomi to meet with Harry at Wimbledon Common to observe a Vulpreen Arch. She reported back to Kate when the arch's time field began to expand and freeze everything inside of it. (AUDIO: Time of the Vulpreen [+]Loading...["Time of the Vulpreen (audio story)"])
Naomi infiltrated a Vulpreen base with Harry, Kate and Bert Hockley to plant a bomb to destroy the Super Arches. She and Harry met up with Osgood and freed the Vulpreen's prisoners, including Jimmy and Josh Carter, before saving Kate from frozen time Varliss had used to contain her. Osgood then froze the two of them to protect them from the bomb's blast. (AUDIO: One Way or Another [+]Loading...["One Way or Another (audio story)"])
Missy held Naomi and Harry captive to blackmail Kate and Josh, but they were eventually saved by Osgood and Hugo de Costa. Following the defeat of Missy and Varliss, Naomi and Harry returned to UNIT. (AUDIO: True Nemesis [+]Loading...["True Nemesis (audio story)"])
Travels with the Seventh Doctor
Info from Naomi's Ark [+]Loading...["Naomi's Ark (audio story)"] needs to be added
Naomi joined Harry in investigating the Álfar at Clerkenwell tube station and called the police when she saw Keryth chasing the foreman. They were reunited with the Doctor, now in his seventh incarnation, and were arrested for wasting police time when Keryth did not show up on the CCTV. Sarya released them and took them to Agrandir, who asked them not to interfere in the conflict between the Ljósálfar and the Dökkálfar. After the conflict was resolved, Naomi and Harry joined the Doctor in the TARDIS to return home. (AUDIO: London Orbital [+]Loading...["London Orbital (audio story)"])
The Doctor decided to take Naomi and Harry to Aquilina, but the TARDIS picked up the sound of screams in 1969 Chester. Naomi and the Doctor travelled throughout time to find the cause of the disappearances and unexplained deaths which occurred in the area on Halloween and learnt that it involved the Daleks. They had to return to 1969 through a crack in time due to the Daleks' temporal distortion and, after reuniting with Harry, the Daleks were defeated. (AUDIO: Scream of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Scream of the Daleks (audio story)"])
By the time Winston Churchill called in the Doctor to investigate the death of Harriet Thompson, Naomi was unsure about whether she wanted to return to the 20th or 21st century. She, the Doctor and Harry helped Sebastian Hardcastle look into Marion Hardcastle and Georgina Stevens only to learn that he was a member of the Forge who had used an Oblivion Key to control the Vashta Nerada and murder Thompson to keep his allegiance to the Nazis a secret. Naomi planned to speak with Harry about which century they wanted to be returned to after they found a new home for Georgina following the destruction of Gorthia.
