| ==Profile==
| |
| ===Travels with the Doctor===
| |
| Romana first met the Doctor in her [[Romana I|first incarnation]]. She was a young and relatively inexperienced [[Time Lord]] given the task, by the [[White Guardian]] of helping the Doctor and [[K-9 Mark II]] to locate the [[Key to Time]]. It was the Doctor who first gave her the shortened version of her name. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Ribos Operation]]'')
| |
|
| |
| After the completion of the quest Romana [[regeneration|regenerated]] into her [[Romana II|second incarnation]]. Accounts as to the reasons for this regeneration and the circumstances differ, though all agree that in her second incarnation, Romana permanently adopted the likeness of [[Princess Astra of Atrios]] for the duration of the incarnation.
| |
|
| |
| *One account says that, unknown to the Doctor, Romana suffered damage due to exposure to the Key to Time. Just as she was about to regenerate, an anthromorphized manifestation of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], jealous of Romana, trapped her in a [[force field]] and proceeded to pretend to be Romana. The TARDIS changed into different forms, and finally became a double of Princess Astra (''[[The Lying Old Witch and the Wardrobe]]'') An adventure on the planet [[Skaro]] followed. ([[DW]]: ''[[Destiny of the Daleks]]'') Realising the error of its ways after that adventure, it released Romana, but not before making the female Time Lord assume the image of Astra. (''[[The Lying Old Witch and the Wardrobe]]'')
| |
|
| |
| *Another account said that Romana forced her own regeneration to prevent an ancient Gallifreyan evil called [[Pandora]] from gaining power over her. ([[BFG]]: ''[[Lies]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Romana and the Doctor at last parted when she decided to remain in [[E-Space]] with K-9 in order to help the enslaved [[Tharil]]s regain their freedom. The Doctor and [[Adric]] left for [[N-Space]], their native [[universe]], leaving Romana and K-9. ([[DW]]: ''[[Warriors' Gate]]'')
| |
|
| |
| ===As Lady President===
| |
| Romana would later return to N-Space and assume a seat on the [[High Council]] of Time Lords. ([[MA]]: ''[[Goth Opera]]''). She was later attained the office of President. She was at this time, generally referred to by her full name. Still as Lady President, Romana regenerated a second time into her [[Romana III|third incarnation]] ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Shadows of Avalon]]'') Romana was far more ruthless in this incarnation in the previous two and presided over a war with [[the Enemy]] and the destruction of Gallifrey. ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Ancestor Cell]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Some evidence may suggest that Romana may have been one of a few Time Lords that survived this cataclysm, possibly in a fourth incarnation. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Tomb of Valdemar]]'')
