'''Clara Oswald''' was a [[companion]] of the [[Eleventh Doctor]].
'''Clara Oswald''', judging by her name, appeared to be another version of the woman whom the [[Eleventh Doctor]] believed to be one and the same, along with [[Clara Oswin Oswald]], [[Clara (The Snowmen)|Clara]] and [[Oswin Oswald]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'')


She appeared to be a version of the woman whom the [[Eleventh Doctor]] believed to be one and the same, along with [[Clara Oswin Oswald]], [[Oswin Oswald]] and [[Clara Oswald (The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel)|Clara Oswald]].
During her [[child]]hood, [[Clara's mother|her mother]] would tell her "not to speak to strange men." She found [[destiny]] to be "rubbish."


She was a fan of the [[book]] ''[[Summer Falls]]'', written by [[Amelia Williams]], of which Chapter 11 was her favourite. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John]]'')
As a child, she'd always lose things: her "best [[pencil]]," her [[school bag]], her gran and her [[mojo]], which she got back. Whenever she would lose something, she'd go to a quiet place, close her eyes, then would find where she'd put it.


==Biography==
She once met the [[Eleventh Doctor]] in a [[park]], while he was on his search for her, and advised him about finding his friend (seemingly not knowing that he was in fact looking for her). ([[WC]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel (webcast)|The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel]]'')
At some point in her life, she and [[Clara's Friend|her friend]] visited a [[graveyard]], where she walked by the [[tombstone]] of [[19th century]] [[Clara Oswald]] and ironically stated, "I don't believe in [[ghost]]s." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'')

Clara originally planned to travel after attending [[university]], spending the week before leaving with family friends. During this week, however, their mother died, and she decided to stay in order to be a [[nanny]] for the [[child]]ren, [[Artie Maitland|Artie]] and [[Angie Maitland]]. Despite this she still intended to travel at some point, and kept the book which was her inspiration, ''[[101 Places to See]]''.
 
She owned a [[laptop]] but, as she did not have any [[computer]] skills, [[telephone|phone]]d a technical support line given to her by "[[a woman in the shop]]" who described it as the best "in the [[universe]]", which was in fact the number to the phone on the front of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. She created a mnemonic device, "Run you clever boy and remember," to help her recall her [[Wi-Fi]] password, but later clicked on the [[Great Intelligence]]'s Wi-Fi connection when the [[Eleventh Doctor]] caused her to mistype it.
 
After accessing the Intelligence's Wi-Fi, Miss [[Kizlet]] sent a [[Spoonhead]] to upload her to the data cloud, which disguised itself as [[Little girl (The Bells of Saint John)|the little girl]] on the cover of ''Summer Falls''. She was also given computer knowledge and technical skills. Although the Doctor arrived in time to stop Clara from being completely uploaded, she retained the technical knowledge that Miss Kizlet had given her.

The Doctor first took her aboard the TARDIS in order to stop a commercial [[aeroplane]] that had been sent to [[kill]] them, and then to have [[breakfast]] the next morning, arriving at the [[South Bank]], whilst Kizlet had to take "the long way round".
 
After the Doctor was able to hack into the Intelligence's basic systems, Clara was able to use her new technical skills in order to access his employees webcams and use them to find their social networking profiles which gave their location, [[the Shard]]. As soon as she had figured this out, she was uploaded to the data cloud by a [[Spoonhead]] disguised as the Doctor.
 
After being downloaded back to her body a second time, Clara confronted the Doctor about what happened to her and they discussed her desire to travel, as well as her responsibilities. The Doctor asked her to travel with him, promising to bring her back without anyone ever knowing she was gone, but she surprised him by refusing to go and telling him to come back the following day, after seven, and ask again. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|The Bells of Saint John]]'')
 
==Skills==
After a partial download to the Great Intelligence's net, Clara retained the computer knowledge and skills given to her by Miss Kizlet. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|The Bells of Saint John]]'')
 
==Behind the scenes==
*The BBC website states that "The Doctor met Clara when she was [[Clara Oswald (The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel)|much younger]]", referring to the events of [[WC]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel (webcast)|The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel]].
