The current image is, I believe, the only one of Bliss looking left, but it's got a reddish tint and I think the image below is a better fit. There's no tint, her head is upright and she's still facing left, even if she isn't looking left as we like them to.

Better name?[[edit source]]

Wouldn't "Bliss (Companion)" be a better name for this article, as she appears in more than one audio story (Audio: Starship Theseus; Audio:Planet of the Ogrons) and is distinct from all the other individuals in that she is a companion of a Doctor. --IrasCignavojo 10:10, July 13, 2018 (UTC)

We use (The Starship of Theseus) because she's not the first Bliss to have an article on this wiki. It comes from her first story. (Companion) is a marker that doesn't really work, because companion to who? When was her first appearance? If her surname is revealed, then the article name will be renamed to include her surname and remove the Starship Theseus marker, but right now, it's the best marker we can use.

Primary topic?[[edit source]]

What are people's thoughts on treating Bliss as a primary topic and moving the page to Bliss? I'm not sure myself, but I just thought I'd bring it up here in the absence of any prior such discussion. She's clearly more primary than any of the other pages on the disambiguation page, none of which have appeared more than once. I guess the question is whether the concept of bliss, which at present does not have a page, would take precedence over this one? Or would bliss be better covered on a page like Happiness? The other argument would be that Bliss (The Starship of Theseus) is more searchable than Bliss, and that users might not be expecting this page to be undabbed? Eager to hear what people think.

I definitely think that this page should be moved to Bliss, especially given that obscurer characters like Alice are undabbed. Jack "BtR" Saxon 12:05, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
And Scrooge has said that characters prominent enough to have a separate appearances page should ideally be undabbed. Jack "BtR" Saxon 23:12, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
Also, we have Compassion and Compassion (emotion), so it's not as if the undabbed term is reserved for real-world usage. Jack "BtR" Saxon 16:28, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
