Clara Oswin Oswald was a human who was a barmaid and governess in 19th century London, in seemingly another life. The final one lived in what seemed to be the early 21st century. She was seen walking in a graveyard, past her 19th century counterpart's grave.
Biographies
In what was literally another lifetime, Clara Oswin Oswald was born on November 23rd, 1866 in Victorian England. By 1892, she working as a barmaid at The Rose & Crown as well as posing, under the pseudonym "Ms. Montague," as a governess looking after the Latimer family. She met the Doctor originally when he was passing by, and she mentioned that a snowman just appeared out of nowhere. The Doctor simply agreed with her and walked away, as at this point he did not interfere with the timeline of the universe.
Clara then followed him and worked on tracking him down. She found his TARDIS on a cloud in the sky, with a ladder to reach up to it. Later, she and the Doctor escaped the snowmen and climbed back towards the TARDIS. She then said that the TARDIS was "Smaller on the outside" and asked the Doctor if there was a kitchen. She then said that she didn't know why she said that "I guess, I just like making soufflés". The Doctor then watched as, to his shock, an iced figure with the "template" of ice and human taken from a deceased governess frozen in a pond, dragged Clara off the cloud, to the ground. She died, but was brought back to life temporarily by Strax' technology. The tears of the Latimers caused rain, instead of snow, which potentially saved the world from decimation. She later died. Her last words were "Run, you clever boy... And remember." These were the exact same words that she had said in the Dalek Asylum shortly before her first death.
Personality
Clara was feisty and strong willed. She was fascinated by the Doctor and even kissed him passionately. Clara was very curious and determined to find out all she could about the mysterious Time Lord; notably she asked the First Question twice in the same night and when the Doctor noted that it was a dangerous question Clara responded with "what's wrong with dangerous?" This showed that she also had a reckless streak.
Clara had a great deal of faith in the Doctor, in contrast to her past incarnation who was slightly wary of him, and when even the Doctor's friends, Vastra, Jenny and Strax, had given up thinking that he would ever regain his adventurous spirit, Clara was able to snap him out of his misery. The Doctor realised he had found a new companion and when Clara died he was briefly devastated but later elated when he realised that there was another version of her somewhere in the Universe.
Clara still had the ability to change her voice easily and led a double life during her second incarnation acting as both a barmaid and a governess. Captain Latimer's children adored her and they felt more comfortable talking to her about their problems than their own father, showing that Clara had a very maternal side of her personality. The whole family was devastated when she died. Their tears, and the single tear that Clara shed on her deathbed, were ultimately the means that defeated the Great Intelligence. (TV: The Snowmen)
Behind the scenes
- Clara's headstone in 1892 states that she was born on 23 November 1866 and that she died in 24 December 1892, meaning she not only shares the same birthday (though not the year) as Doctor Who itself but that she was also 26-years-old when she died — the same age as Doctor Who was when it was cancelled in 1989. The Evil of the Daleks, which introduced the other Victorian companion, Victoria Waterfield, who also faced the Daleks and the Great Intelligence, took place in 1966, one hundred years after Clara was born. The oldest Dalek model to appear in her first story was also from Victoria's origin story and another of her stories (TV: The Web of Fear) was referenced in her second (a reference to the 1967 London Underground).
