Rodan
Rodan was a Time Lady who worked as a controller on Gallifrey. She helped to fight invasions of her homeworld by first the Vardans and then the Sontarans. (TV: The Invasion of Time)
As a very junior Time Lord, Rodan was assigned monitor duty. A technician reported to her the arrival of a stolen TT capsule on Tersurus, and she reported it to the Castellan. (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks)
Rodan later worked on maintaining the protective transduction barrier around the planet, monitoring threats to Gallifrey and reporting on it to her superiors.
Rodan met Leela when the savage came across her workplace. The two talked and Rodan deactivated the force field separating them, deciding she liked Leela. A spacecraft entered within two spans of Gallifrey and Rodan sent out a red alert to warn of the impending attack.
Both Leela and Rodan left the Capitol. They were taken prisoner by the Outsiders and Nesbin's comments on Rodan likelihood of survival in the wasteland caused her to cry. Leela and Rodan dined with the Outsiders, who they convinced to help repel the Vardan invasion. (TV: The Invasion of Time)
Behind the scenes
Other than Susan Foreman, Rodan was the first female Gallifreyan seen on screen. Another Time Lord, Romana I, joined the the Fourth Doctor in his travels in the following season.
