The Seventh Doctor was a grand manipulator, often utilising his choice of words to persuade others into a decision of his choosing, ([[TV]]: ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'') or devising an unscrupulous scheme to defeat his adversaries. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') He had a tendency to play the long game in his schemes, preferring to keep his plans subtle and "behind the scenes", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Warhead (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Warhead]]'', ''[[The Highest Science (novel)|The Highest Science]]'') but would often focus on over complicating his plans to the point that he overlooked a more simpler approach.  ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Of the Mermaid and Jupiter (short story)|Of the Mermaid and Jupiter]]'') When his plans went awry, or an unexpected element developed, the Doctor was efficient at improvising around it. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') However, as he got older, his power of persuasion weakened, with the Doctor unable to convince [[Grace Holloway]] not to operate on him.
