You may be looking for a female incarnation of the Monk.

The Interfering Nun was a Time Lady who broke with the Gallifreyan tradition of inactivity. She was mentioned by Romana II in a conversation about renegade Time Lords. (PROSE: Shada [+]Loading...["Shada (novelisation)"])

When Zoe Heriot accused the Monk of changing history, he admitted it proudly, rhetorically asking if the Interfering Nun was responsible. (AUDIO: The Prints of Denmark [+]Loading...["The Prints of Denmark (audio story)"])

When she temporarily disguised herself as a nurse, River Song was once referred to by the Clocksmith as "the Interfering Nun". (AUDIO: The Eighth Piece [+]Loading...["The Eighth Piece (audio story)"])

Behind the scenes

  • The Interfering Nun is, of course, a joke on the part of author Gareth Roberts: a distaff equivalent of the Meddling Monk.
  • Later, Doctor Who media would actually introduce a female incarnation of the Monk who indeed went by the name "the Nun".
