After looking into the Heart of the TARDIS, Vortex energy (if not the Time Vortex itself) filled Rose Tyler, who then temporarily became the Bad Wolf entity.
Biography
Rose Tyler as the Bad Wolf
Newly empowered, she piloted the TARDIS back to the Ninth Doctor. A nimbus of light surrounded her and shone through her eyes. Rose's natural London accent vanished. She also possessed the destructive and creative powers of a goddess, enabling her to destroy an entire Dalek fleet and have an enormous influence over time and space.
While possessed of these gifts, the entity set out to spread the Bad Wolf meme through many worlds and times. In this way, the Ninth Doctor and Rose's past selves would eventually follow the clues that would enable them to defeat the Daleks, creating an ontological paradox in the process. The Bad Wolf Entity destroyed the Dalek fleet and all the Daleks on Satellite Five, including the Dalek Emperor. She also altered reality to prevent the death of Jack Harkness. (DW: The Parting of the Ways)
Jack would later discover he could apparently no longer die by any means, and it would take him nearly a century and a half of subjective time before he finally learned that she was responsible. (TW: Everything Changes onwards, plus DW: Utopia)
Rose was unable to hold the power permanently without burning up, and the Doctor restored Rose's human self by absorbing the Vortex energy into his own body, a process that would prove destructive to his cellular structure and so prompt the Doctor's next regeneration. Rose subsequently lost most of her memory of her time as the Bad Wolf, saying that the knowledge had been locked like it was "forbidden", and that trying to repeat it could cause the universe to blow up. (DW: The Parting of the Ways, The Christmas Invasion)
Subsequent mentions
- Upon her meeting with the werewolf host, that entity noted that Rose also had "something of the wolf" in her. (DW: Tooth and Claw)
- After being captured by Torchwood, the Doctor pretended Jackie Tyler was his companion Rose. He claimed that she had stared into the heart of the time vortex and aged fifty-seven years . She replied "I'm forty!" (DW: Army of Ghosts)
- While on the Valiant, the Master commented to the Doctor how he "once had companions who could absorb the time vortex". (DW: The Sound of Drums/ Last of the Time Lords)
- An unknown force, presumably the Bad Wolf entity, changed all the banners and signs in the Shan Shen market place to read "BAD WOLF." (DW: Turn Left) This warned the Doctor and Donna Noble of the impending danger of Davros and the Daleks. (DW: The Stolen Earth)
