The Rani
The Rani is a renegade Time Lady, an evil scientific genius whose villainy comes not from the usual variety of lust for power and suchlike, but from a mindset that treats everything (including morality) as secondary to her research; she has been known to enslave entire planets in order to have a ready supply of experimental subjects and a place to carry out her experiments uninterrupted. Her major interest is in tinkering with other species' biochemistry - she was exiled from Gallifrey after some of her lab mice, as a result of an experiment, grew to enormous size and ate the President's pet cat. A past relationship between the Rani and the Doctor is hinted at, but never elaborated upon. It has been established that they are the same age.
While the Rani certainly does not share the Doctor's fondness for Earth, referring to it as a "miserable planet," it has been the focus of several of her research projects. When the test subjects on one of the planets she had enslaved became violently restless and uncontrollable, - a side affect of her experiments on them, - the Rani visited Earth at various points in its history to extract chemicals from the brains of select humans. Because the chemicals in question enabled the human brain to rest, and because the absence of these chemicals made her victims as violent and uncontrollable as those from her previous experiments, the Rani purposely chose periods of social unrest to visit, using the violence to conceal her presence and its consequences.
