Star Poet

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

The "Star Poet" was a female Butterfly Person known to Sarah Jane Smith.

Profile

Having gotten lost, the Star Poet Earth and was lost and so located Sarah Jane Smith, who gave her directions back home. In return, the Star Poet gave Sarah Jane a communicator with which Sarah could contact her for help writing her poetry. Maria Jackson saw Sarah Jane with the Star Poet in her garden. This was the first alien she ever saw. (SJA: Invasion of the Bane).

The Star Poet apparently belongs to the same species as "Mary", who described herself as originating from the planet Arcateen 5.

Behind the Scenes

Despite fan speculation, nothing links the Star Poet to Sarah Jane's friend, the un-named alien soothsayer mentioned in Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? and, later in Journey's End. Additionally, Sarah Jane described the soothsayer as "he", not "she".
