Profile

Susan accompanied him on his first trip to the planet Skaro in TARDIS, where she met the Daleks and then an ancient Roman legion (Dr. Who and the Daleks). Later she went on a trip with him to the devastated London of 2150, which the Daleks had invaded. (Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD) Once again, they fought the Daleks, this time on Mars (DWM: Daleks Versus the Martians)

Susan shared her grandfather's genius and passion for science, and this contributed to her being a highly precocious child.
