History

As Caleera

As a student in the Time Lord Academy, Caleera's tutors thought that she would not amount to anything. She was a powerful telepath and she wanted to learn how to control it, but her tutors wanted to suppress the powers. (AUDIO: Scenes From Her Life) On orders from Padrac, who sought to manipulate her self-worth so she would end up joining his later plans, (AUDIO: Stop the Clock) Caleera was placed as an assistant to the junior archivist on leaving the academy on the grounds that her past instability made her unsuitable for a more high-level position. She used her powers to empathise with Helen, playing on the similarities in their history. In her time in the archives she interviewed the Eleven as part of a research project, with the Eleven convincing her to amplify her powers so that she could contribute to his own plans. (AUDIO: Scenes From Her Life) Padrac was manipulating her life all along, denying her opportunities so that she would later destroy the universe as part of his plan to save his world from its Matrix-projected doom. (AUDIO: Stop the Clock)

Caleera kidnapped Stormblood from the archives shortly before the Eleven's escape from Gallifrey. (AUDIO: The Crucible of Souls)

Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair found her trapped in a TARDIS and wanted to help her escape. Caleera manipulated events to make Helen ask the Doctor to free her. (AUDIO: Scenes From Her Life)

As the Sonomancer

She experimented with her powers to create a curse for the people of San Francisco which would amplify the earthquake of 1906. She then gave the gift to the Eighth Doctor, who used it to save Liv from dying. (AUDIO: The Gift)

In her power she became the Sonomancer. She decided to use this power to destroy worlds and proceeded to destroy Syra. The Doctor tried to stop her from destroying the planet by trapping her in the mining station. She used her power to call the Eleven's TARDIS to save herself and the Eleven. (AUDIO: The Sonomancer)

After escaping Syra she inhabited The Matrix. She used the timing of the Doomsday Chronometer to start her plans and to get plans for the Resonance Engine. She didn't like River Song. She trapped Livia's ship in the transduction barrier and later destroyed it. She took River into the Matrix and tortured her. (AUDIO: Songs of Love) The Eleven asked her to use her powers to help the Weeping Angels by creating darkness. (AUDIO: The Side of the Angels)

Padrac placed her in the Resonance Engine in order to amplify her powers so that she could destroy the universe. The Doctor tried to convince her that Padrac would discard her once his plans were completed, arguing that she could use her access to the Matrix to easily check if he was right and then laugh at him if he was wrong. She went into the matrix and found out that Padrac had manipulated her into this decision. Using her connection to the Matrix she fed Liv and Helen a message, first for Liv to destroy the Capitol shields and then to Helen to pilot a Battle TARDIS into the Resonance Engine. She was then fractured across time, becoming a form that would be known as the Red Lady. (AUDIO: Stop the Clock)

As the Red Lady

When the Doctor first met Caleera as the Red Lady, she was a mysterious creature that appeared in the art of many civilisations. She later attacked Albert Kennedy. She was referred to in all of the documents that Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair translated. She would kill anyone who saw her. (AUDIO: The Red Lady) She did this as she was trying to find Padrac so he could pay for what he did to her. (AUDIO: Stop the Clock)

In the Relic Room, Professor River Song was pointed to a sealed vault containing one of the only remaining pictures of the "notorious" Red Lady. She and her guide Neon agreed it was best they did not enter, or look upon her. (AUDIO: The Web of Time)
