Lolita was present during the [[Time Lord]]s' war with the [[Yssgaroth]]. She may have been infected by it during this time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'', ''[[Toy Story (short story)|Toy Story]]'')
When Lolita was only hours old, she understood what the [[Eternal War|war]] with the [[Yssgaroth]] "actually meant" and was able to bring it to its conclusion. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Toy Story (short story)|Toy Story]]'') [[Michael Brookhaven]]'s film ''[[Mujun: the Ghost Kingdom]]'' suggested that Lolita (appearing as '''Lady Wakai''') may have been infected by the Yssgaroth taint during this time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'')


Lolita claimed that [[War King|her former master]] had partly severed her symbiotic relationship with him to allow him to use other TARDISes. After being freed from his control, Lolita attempted to recruit [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] for [[House Lolita]] in the years before [[the War]] began. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Toy Story (short story)|Toy Story]]'')
Lolita had a [[The Doctor's TARDIS|sister]]. When they picked pilots, Lolita chose "the [[The War King|dangerous-looking one]]", while her sister chose one Lolita described as "the [[The Doctor|cuckoo]]". Lolita didn't stay attached to her original pilot, though, instead letting him use other timeships. She had him modify her so that she could make herself humanoid.


Lolita created [[House Lolita]] to oppose [[Faction Paradox]] in the early years of the the War. She entered into an alliance with [[House Tracolix]] and the [[Sontaran]]s to destroy the [[Eleven-Day Empire]] under orders from the [[Time Lord|Great Houses]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Words from Nine Divinities (audio story)|Words from Nine Divinities]]'') During the invasion, Lolita turned on her allies and killed the entire [[Seventy Ninth Sontaran Assault Corps]]. After this Lolita swallowed the Eleven-Day Empire into her internal dimensions, destroying the majority of Faction Paradox in the process. ([[AUDIO]]:'' [[The Eleven-Day Empire (audio story)|The Eleven-Day Empire]]'', ''[[The Shadow Play (audio story)|The Shadow Play]]'')
Before [[the War]], Lolita and her sister both discovered who [[the enemy]] would be. Lolita tried to convince her sister to become humanoid like her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Toy Story (short story)|Toy Story]]'')


Lolita refused to allow any other lifeform to join her house. She claimed that the places were reserved for her future children, who were TARDISes like her. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[In the Year of the Cat (audio story)|In the Year of the Cat]]'') She eventually betrayed the Time Lords and consumed the [[War King]] of [[Gallifrey]]. In doing so she became the War Queen. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Words from Nine Divinities (audio story)|Words From Nine Divinities]]'')
During the War, Lolita created her own [[Newblood]] [[Great House|House]]. It was called [[House Lolita]], and she was its only member. All future places in the House were reserved for her own progeny. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[In the Year of the Cat (audio story)|In the Year of the Cat]]'')


After becoming the War Queen, she allied herself with [[Sutekh]] against [[Faction Paradox]], [[Anubis]], and the Great Houses. When [[Christine Summerfield|Eliza]] became [[Horus]] by giving her body to [[Osiris]] in a final attempt to defeat Sutekh, Lolita cut her wrist and put her own [[biodata]] in Eliza. This let Lolita control Horus and give the final blow against Sutekh. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Body Politic (audio story)|Body Politic]]'', ''[[Words from Nine Divinities (audio story)|Words from Nine Divinities]]'')
Lolita allied her House with [[House Tracolix]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') and together they offered to let [[Faction Paradox|House Paradox]] rejoin the "proper" Houses on the [[Gallifrey|Homeworld]]. Her real plan, however, was to destroy the Faction, starting with its [[Eleven-Day Empire]]. To that end, she turned on Tracolix, killing [[Ruthven|its representative]] and [[Seventy Ninth Sontaran Assault Corps|its hired army]]. Once she had reached an accommodation with the Empire's ''[[loa]]'', she "swallowed" the Eleven-Day Empire into her internal dimensions. Only Cousins [[Justine McManus|Justine]] and [[Christine Summerfield|Eliza]] escaped. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Eleven Day Empire (audio story)|The Eleven Day Empire]]'', ''[[The Shadow Play (audio story)|The Shadow Play]]'')


However, Lolita had forgotten one detail: [[Cousin Justine]] of Faction Paradox had a safe path to Gallifrey. She led the [[Mal'akh]] to attack the Council chambers and Lolita herself directly. After Justine took over [[Gallifrey|the Homeworld]], Lolita was trapped in a [[pyramid]] by the [[Osirian]]s as punishment for her crimes. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Ozymandias (audio story)|Ozymandias]]'', ''[[The Judgement of Sutekh (audio story)|The Judgement of Sutekh]]'')
Lolita attempted to use the [[Osirian]] [[Sutekh]] to get rid of the last of the Faction. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Body Politic (audio story)|Body Politic]]'') First, he destroyed their reproductive equipment in [[Pompeii]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Coming to Dust (audio story)|Coming to Dust]]'') When [[Anubis]] and the Faction tried to recreate [[Osiris]] as [[Horus]] in a [[remembrance tank]] from Cousin [[Christine Summerfield|Eliza]] and Osiris's scavenged biodata, Lolita alerted Sutekh and advised him to use the information to get the [[Osirian Court]] on his side. While the Faction was distracted by their confrontation with Sutekh and the Court, Lolita slit her own wrist with a fingernail and dripped some of her own blood into the remembrance tank. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Body Politic (audio story)|Body Politic]]'') Lolita was able to channel her own weapons systems through the nascent Horus, allowing him to cripple Sutekh at their next fight. Lolita actually intended for Horus to gain the throne, so that she could use him as a puppet.
 
When the [[War King]] tried to sabotage Lolita's plans with [[Thoth|his own ambassador]], Lolita consumed him. With him out of the way, Lolita was able to become [[War Queen]] of the [[Time Lord|Great Houses]]. However, she had forgotten an important detail: before his death, the War King had given Cousin [[Justine McManus|Justine]] a safe channel to the Homeworld. Justine sent a group of [[mal'akh]] obtained from Sutekh to attack the [[War Council|Council]] chambers. The attack was really meant as a warning, rather than a serious attempt at takeover. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Words from Nine Divinities (audio story)|Words from Nine Divinities]]'') The real attack came when Horus brought seven hundred Osirians to the Homeworld — who "officially," according to history, were fighting Sutekh — to deal with Lolita.

Lolita was a timeship hybrid and the sole member of House Lolita, who became not only the Homeworld's War Queen but also (as Lola Denison) President of the United States.

Biography

When Lolita was only hours old, she understood what the war with the Yssgaroth "actually meant" and was able to bring it to its conclusion. (PROSE: Toy Story) Michael Brookhaven's film Mujun: the Ghost Kingdom suggested that Lolita (appearing as Lady Wakai) may have been infected by the Yssgaroth taint during this time. (PROSE: The Book of the War)

Lolita had a sister. When they picked pilots, Lolita chose "the dangerous-looking one", while her sister chose one Lolita described as "the cuckoo". Lolita didn't stay attached to her original pilot, though, instead letting him use other timeships. She had him modify her so that she could make herself humanoid.

Before the War, Lolita and her sister both discovered who the enemy would be. Lolita tried to convince her sister to become humanoid like her. (PROSE: Toy Story)

During the War, Lolita created her own Newblood House. It was called House Lolita, and she was its only member. All future places in the House were reserved for her own progeny. (AUDIO: In the Year of the Cat)

Lolita allied her House with House Tracolix, (PROSE: The Book of the War) and together they offered to let House Paradox rejoin the "proper" Houses on the Homeworld. Her real plan, however, was to destroy the Faction, starting with its Eleven-Day Empire. To that end, she turned on Tracolix, killing its representative and its hired army. Once she had reached an accommodation with the Empire's loa, she "swallowed" the Eleven-Day Empire into her internal dimensions. Only Cousins Justine and Eliza escaped. (AUDIO: The Eleven Day Empire, The Shadow Play)

Lolita attempted to use the Osirian Sutekh to get rid of the last of the Faction. (AUDIO: Body Politic) First, he destroyed their reproductive equipment in Pompeii. (AUDIO: Coming to Dust) When Anubis and the Faction tried to recreate Osiris as Horus in a remembrance tank from Cousin Eliza and Osiris's scavenged biodata, Lolita alerted Sutekh and advised him to use the information to get the Osirian Court on his side. While the Faction was distracted by their confrontation with Sutekh and the Court, Lolita slit her own wrist with a fingernail and dripped some of her own blood into the remembrance tank. (AUDIO: Body Politic) Lolita was able to channel her own weapons systems through the nascent Horus, allowing him to cripple Sutekh at their next fight. Lolita actually intended for Horus to gain the throne, so that she could use him as a puppet.

When the War King tried to sabotage Lolita's plans with his own ambassador, Lolita consumed him. With him out of the way, Lolita was able to become War Queen of the Great Houses. However, she had forgotten an important detail: before his death, the War King had given Cousin Justine a safe channel to the Homeworld. Justine sent a group of mal'akh obtained from Sutekh to attack the Council chambers. The attack was really meant as a warning, rather than a serious attempt at takeover.

Afterwards, Horus claimed to Justine that Lolita would not be a problem again. (AUDIO: Ozymandias, The Judgment of Sutekh)

As Lola Denison, Lolita manipulated an American election, becoming Vice President and then having President-elect Matt Nelson assassinated at his inauguration so she could assume his role. (PROSE: Head of State)

Behind the Scenes

Character Notes by Lawrence Miles

Villainess. Aristocratic, but with no respect for tradition. Dangerous. Utterly amoral. Apparently in her thirties (though she's not human, so her actual age is open to debate). Political. Manipulative. Believes herself to be superior to most other life in the universe - as it turns out, there's a good reason for this - and regards everybody else with quiet amusement. Hard to imagine her taking anything seriously: everything she does is pre-planned, and therefore there's never any reason for concern. Gives the impression of being "untrustworthy" rather than "slimy". Doesn't really care one way or another.
