Lindy Pepper-Bean
Lindy Pepper-Bean was a resident of Finetime where she worked as a data processor.
Biography
She spent her life using her Bubble, so much that she couldn't walk without its guidance. (TV: Dot and Bubble [+]Loading...["Dot and Bubble (TV story)"])
Lindy once invited one or more people to join the "Bubbletastic" community on Finetime, during which the Fifteenth Doctor attempted to contact her, warning her of monsters, but she blocked him both times he attempted to contact her during this, apologising to those she was inviting, stating that she didn't know who that "rude man" was, and continuing her invitation.

She initially dismissed the Fifteenth Doctor's warnings around the danger she and her fellow residents were in, blocking him from contacting her. Ruby Sunday later contacted her and convinced her of the danger she was in, showing her that a man-trap was eating one of her colleagues. She then followed the Doctor's instructions to get to a conduit to the underground river. Along the way she encountered her idol, Ricky September who was more used to not using the Bubble all the time. When the Doctor and Ruby told her that the people were being eaten in alphabetical order, she contacted the person before her on the list Suzie Pentecost, and saw her being eaten. As none of the man-traps could get to her, her Dot took it upon itself to kill her. She used the knowledge the Doctor gave her to redirect the Dot's attacks to Ricky, because his surname was originally Coombes; "C" comes before "P" alphabetically. She lied about his disappearance when meeting with the Doctor and Ruby. She wouldn't come with them to a safe planet, as her ingrained racism meant that she refused to be in physical proximity with some from a different race to her. She left aboard a boat to face the outside world with fellow survivors. (TV: Dot and Bubble [+]Loading...["Dot and Bubble (TV story)"]) One individual may have gotten onto the boat with her. By another telling, they didn't. (GAME: Dodge the Mantraps [+]Loading...{"page":"42-43","1":"Dodge the Mantraps (game)"})
Legacy
Lindy's mother, Penny Pepper-Bean, was one of several individuals the Doctor and Ruby had encountered throughout their travels who appeared identical to 21st century millionaire and philanthropist, Susan Triad, who herself had been having dreams in which she was these individuals. When the Fifteenth Doctor finally met Triad, he asked her whether she had been having dreams about, among other things, "a girl called Lindy".
