Estinee
Estinee was the last of the Destrans following the Kotturuh judgment of her home-world in the Dark Times. She survived due to having an immunity to death and became crucial in the Tenth Doctor’s campaign against the Kotturuh.
Biography
The Kotturuh kidnapped Estinee after finding her immune to their touch during their judgement of Destran, in which her entire species died. They kept her on Mordeela, where she witnessed many delegates attempting to bargain with the Kotturuh.
She was rescued by Professor Hana Fallomax, who was using mining robots to mine crystals from Mordeela to create Lifeshrouds to protect against the Kotturuh. The Lifeshroud actually worked on Estinee, so Fallomax started using her in demonstrations of the Lifeshrouds to sell them on worlds fearing the Kotturuh’s coming. Estinee constantly wore her Lifeshroud bodysuit, believing that it was keeping her from death by the Kotturuh's "gift".
She first encountered the Doctor on Andalia, where she was demonstrating the Lifeshroud. He saved her from Brian who had been contracted by Fallomax’s sponsor, Ambassador Chalskal, to test the Lifeshroud’s efficacy by attempting to kill Estinee. The Kotturuh arrived on Andalia to judge the planet and recaptured Estinee. The Doctor and Brian followed her to Mordeela and watched as Fallomax rescued her again via a mining robot. The Doctor and Brian followed her again to Fallomax and the Doctor agreed to work on the Lifeshrouds, however soon discovered they only worked on Estinee due to her natural immunity. He instead decided to reverse-engineer the Kotturuh’s power and took Estinee and Fallomax with him back to Andalia, where he made two solutions; one to give the Kotturuh a lifespan, the other to simply wipe them out. The Kotturuh used the influence they had over Estinee from her time on Mordeela to have her pilot the TARDIS forward in time to a date they’d appointed for the Doctor’s death and and to kill Fallomax. They attempted to force her to shoot the Doctor however she refused and used the gun to detonate her Lifeshroud, killing herself.
Infuriated by her death, the Doctor unleashed his virus to wipe out the Kotturuh by giving them a lifespan of fifteen minutes. (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead)
