The Woman (The End of Time)
The Woman was first seen in a church on December 23rd 2010. She told Wilfred Mott of the church's past; of how it was once a convent that it had been attacked by a demon from the skies in the 1300s, and was saved by a "saintly physician". After telling, that the physician may be needed again, she vanished.
She next appeared to Wilf on Christmas Day, her image appearing on television, which only Wilf could see. She told Wilf that he needed to take up arms, and that the Doctor's life could still be saved. Before vanishing again, she warned Wilf not to tell the Doctor of anything she'd said to him.
She was revealed be a Time Lady, and could be seen in a weeping position standing by The Narrator, who was revealed to be Rassilon. When the Doctor looked at her, she briefly uncovered her face and looked at him as if ready to cry; before she coverered her face again, the Doctor looked on at her in shock as his theme played, indicating that she was someone from his past who he loved. When asked by Wilfred who she was, he replied with only silence. (DW: The End of Time)
