Revision as of 23:05, 23 September 2012 by OverAnalyser (talk | contribs) (→‎Biography: longboat, Gordon's age, more authority than predecessor,)

Kate Stewart, born Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and nicknamed "Tiger" by her father, was the daughter of Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and his first wife, Fiona. (PROSE: The Scales of Injustice)

Biography

Fiona and Alistair had Kate three years into their eight-year marriage.

As a child, Kate was never told of her father's work at UNIT with aliens. She was only told that he was a military man. She would often pretend that he was off to have an amazing adventure when really she knew he was off to do boring military operations.

At the time of the Wenley Moor Silurian incident, Kate was five years old. It was during this mission that Alistair realised that he was an inadequate father for her. The secretive nature of his work with UNIT prevented him from being consistently present in her life. His long absences from home caused Fiona to leave him. Alistair guessed that she and Kate went off to at least initially live somewhere close to Chichester, the home of Kate's maternal grandparents. (PROSE: The Scales of Injustice)

Eventually, she grew estranged from her father. (HOMEVID: Downtime)

 
Kate in 1995. (HOMEVID: Downtime)

In the early 1990s, Kate fell pregnant. She and her son, Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, made their home aboard a longboat. It was there that she re-united with her father circa 1995. (HOMEVID: Downtime)

In 2004, Kate encountered Mastho, one of the last Daemons. (HOMEVID: Dæmos Rising)

Kate dropped the name "Lethbridge" when she joined UNIT so as to be judged on her own merits and not be the beneficiary of favouritism. She was Head of Scientific Research by 2020, and exerted considerably more authority over the military personnel than did her predecessors. (TV: The Power of Three)
