}}A '''soothsayer''' was a member of the [[Sibylline Sisterhood]] in Pompeii in [[79]] AD. She had eyes painted on the back of her hands — a sign of the cult. She was the first of the Sisterhood to see [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], or "Blue Box", that had appeared in a prophecy. She had psychic powers from breathing in dust from Vesuvius that was converting her into a [[Pyrovile]], and could see through time because of the rift activity there. It is likely that she died during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii]]''). | }}A '''soothsayer''' was a member of the [[Sibylline Sisterhood]] in Pompeii in [[79]] AD.

* | * Karen Gillan was later cast as [[Amy Pond]], first companion of the [[Eleventh Doctor]], played by [[Matt Smith]], beginning in [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|Series 5]]; coincidentally, Amy had an affinity for Romans. Unlike other guest actors who later played more prominent characters (such as [[Freema Agyeman]], [[Eve Myles]] or [[Peter Capaldi]]), no attempt was made, either on-screen or in behind-the-scenes interviews, to connect the soothsayer to Amy. | ||
