Audacity Montague
Lady Audacity Montague was a companion of the Eighth Doctor.
Biography
Early life
Audacity decided to marry Ignatius Montague as he was a younger and richer man whom she would be unlikely to outlive, meaning that she would not lose her independence by being widowed. She agreed to support Prince George in his regency so long as he enacted parliamentary change. She and her husband threw lavish balls. (AUDIO: The Devouring)
Travels in the TARDIS
Info from Twenty-Four Days in December, The Empty Man and Winter of the Demon needs to be added
At one of her balls, Audacity encountered the Eighth Doctor. He stayed behind after all the guests fled. She was intrigued by him after he told her not to look at the stars as they look back. She tracked a strange constellation and didn't believe the Doctor about spaceships. He told her about the Devouring and took her to them. She wanted to sacrifice herself to let all those who were taken be returned. After being rescued by the Doctor she went travelling with him as she was no longer safe on Earth in 1812.

She went exploring in the TARDIS and found it intriguing. The Doctor and Audacity landed on the Aurum which she found overly gauche. She stopped Dellatine's assassination of Oberon Fix and chased after her. She learnt about the cost of the war on the Vogans and helped Nelvin tend to the sick. The Doctor told her about how the Cybermen worked and that they are not to be trusted. Her wrist was fractured during the assault. She was tasked with being a lookout.

The Doctor took his friends to 107 Baker Street to celebrate Christmas and showed them the sites. She didn't fully understand the customs of the times and thought that they should have children to celebrate. She inquired about getting a Christmas Grotto for the party. They went to Al Norton's flat to discover what was wrong with him. She enjoyed the party with the Children.
