Biography
Early life
Valarie lived at 49 Gibson Avenue on Research Rig 6 with her mother, Patricia Lockwood. Like all humans on Earth in the 54th century, she was fitted with a neural interface at the age of three and later elected to have her limbs replaced with robotic versions (AUDIO: The Inheritance [+]Loading...["The Inheritance (audio story)"]) and to be fitted with a universal translator. (AUDIO: The House of Masks [+]Loading...["The House of Masks (audio story)"]) Her father died after a period of hospitalisation. (AUDIO: Spirit of the Season [+]Loading...["Spirit of the Season (audio story)"])
Supported by her mother, Valarie attended university (AUDIO: The Inheritance [+]Loading...["The Inheritance (audio story)"]) where her education included studying the Cybermen, whom she knew to have been largely defeated some time ago. (AUDIO: Sins of the Flesh [+]Loading...["Sins of the Flesh (audio story)"]) She met a girl named Lemon-Drop, whose name she considered unfortunate. (AUDIO: The House of Masks [+]Loading...["The House of Masks (audio story)"]) Following her time at university, she went on to become a cyberneticist. (AUDIO: The Inheritance [+]Loading...["The Inheritance (audio story)"])
Valarie attended very few parties and those that she did attend were organised by the Fulcrum Corporation, who played the same piped music and presented the same branded presents. She and her mother both dreamt of livelier parties (AUDIO: The House of Masks [+]Loading...["The House of Masks (audio story)"]) and hosted dinners with Daniel and Simone Simpson, who were friends of theirs. (AUDIO: The Inheritance [+]Loading...["The Inheritance (audio story)"])
Meeting the Doctor
Whilst spending time with her mother and Daniel and Simone Simpson, Valarie met the Eleventh Doctor as he homed in on her plasma cutter whilst trying to disarm a bomb. Arabella Hendricks tasked her with assisting him in finding a cure for the Darinthian Blight, which went on to kill Dan, Simone and Patricia. Valarie and the Doctor learnt that Hendricks was responsible and thwarted her, with Valarie saving the rig from being destroyed by her bombs.
The Doctor took Valarie to the hospital and left her a note assuring her that he would be back in ten minutes. She recovered from her wounds, arranged her mother's funeral and began the grieving process, during which she gave away everything that her mother had bought during the "Buy to Live" scheme. After two weeks, the Doctor returned and gave her the chance to join him in his search for Clara Oswald, an offer which she enthusiastically accepted. (AUDIO: The Inheritance [+]Loading...["The Inheritance (audio story)"])
Travels in the TARDIS
Early adventures
Valarie answered the TARDIS telephone to a stranger asking for help, after which the ship was hijacked (AUDIO: The Inheritance [+]Loading...["The Inheritance (audio story)"]) and took her and the Doctor to late 18th century Venice. Dressing up in era-appropriate clothing, Valarie went with the Doctor to Lady Sicura's masquerade where she met Captain Tomasi and ultimately destroyed his power diverter to keep him from killing the hostess, instead empathising with her grief. The Doctor told Valarie about his role in ending the Time War and offered to take her home, but she said that he was stuck with her. (AUDIO: The House of Masks [+]Loading...["The House of Masks (audio story)"])
In the TARDIS, Valarie asked about the extent of the ship's capabilities and learnt of the Doctor's marriages to Elizabeth I and a woman who killed him, as well as the fact that Queen Victoria wanted him dead. She felt his life made no sense, but assured the Doctor that she was ready for the dangers of the universe. (WC: The Eleventh Doctor Returns [+]Loading...["The Eleventh Doctor Returns (webcast)"])
The Doctor and Valarie landed in a spaceship in the 57th century and entered a time loop created by a time spider to protect its eggs. Valarie helped the Doctor when he was bitten and attempted to destroy the eggs with coolant before witnessing the spider's ability to rewind time within the loop. She frightened the spider and allowed herself to be bitten prior to the loop resetting to ensure that she would be targetted instead of the Doctor, helping him resolve the loop. This succeeded, although Valarie almost died as a result of the toxin, and they departed with conflicting memories of their time on the ship. Back in the TARDIS, they received another call from the woman and the TARDIS crashed. (AUDIO: The End [+]Loading...["The End (11DC audio story)"])
The explosion of the TARDIS caused Valarie and the Doctor to be, thanks to the telepathic circuits, beamed into Jeremy Castle's computer where they appeared to Ellery Quest through narrative media and claimed to be inside his mind, not wanting him to know that he was a fictional character and that they wanted him to erase the Doctor's biography from the computer to prevent the knowledge therein being used to cause the TARDIS's explosion. When Quest learnt the truth, Valarie helped him complete the narrative and was, with the Doctor, restored, although she could not understand why they could change time in this instance but not save her mother. (AUDIO: All of Time and Space [+]Loading...["All of Time and Space (audio story)"])
After having an argument about the Web of Time, Valarie and the Doctor made up. She asked the Doctor if they could go to Paris in 1832 to comfort Évariste Galois, whom she had met in a negated timeline. Although she could not remember him, she felt a bond with him and kept him company in the hospital following his fatal wounding in a duel. (AUDIO: The Galois Group [+]Loading...["The Galois Group (audio story)"])
Valarie and the Doctor arrived on Medrüth and offered to take Hoster, Roanna and Wyler away from the Yearn, but the TARDIS was stolen by the Yearn just as the other Medrüthians were. Valarie developed a romance with Roanna and the Doctor suggested that she might want to remain with her, but she felt that she barely knew her and, after the Yearn were taken away by the TARDIS, she gave Roanna the number of the TARDIS telephone should she ever have an emergency or need somebody to talk to. They kissed before parting ways. (AUDIO: The Yearn [+]Loading...["The Yearn (audio story)"])
Losing faith
Further info from Broken Hearts needs to be added
Pulled into a war after receiving another telephone call, Valarie was left unconscious and alone by an electromagnetic pulse whilst the Doctor had to rebuild his brain and lived as Mr Foreman. Valarie sold her enhancements to Mr Foreman one-by-one in exchange for money for food and told him stories about the Doctor in the hope that he would remember who he was, as well as to allow her to check on the TARDIS in his junkyard. She started to lose herself as she sold her parts, but the Doctor was eventually restored and used her enhancements to stop the war above the planet before returning them to her. (AUDIO: Curiosity Shop [+]Loading...["Curiosity Shop (audio story)"])
Despite claiming to be fine, Valarie was actually livid and disgusted by the Doctor's treatment of her and demanded time away from him. His attempts to take her to Roanna on Medrüth instead landed them on Iptheus in the wake of devastation caused by a Time Lord weapon. She discovered a statue of the Eighth Doctor there and began to question if she ever really knew the Doctor at all. After managing to reunite the sentient search-and-rescue robots Lionel and Augustus, Valarie decided to stay with the Doctor but made it clear that she wouldn't allow him to hurt her again.

Valarie and the Doctor encountered the Sontarans in Zurich during their adventures together. (AUDIO: All's Fair [+]Loading...["All's Fair (audio story)"])
The Doctor decided to take Valarie to Lapland, which she had never heard of before, but a call from the stranger led to them being pulled off-course and being intercepted by an Arkheion which pulled the TARDIS into an Arkheion bubble. Valarie encountered a memory of her mother who came into being so that the Arkheion could harvest Valarie's pain over her loss, but Valarie ultimately used the opportunity to say a proper farewell to her before the Doctor switched the Arkheion device off. Having made a promise to her mother, she decided to stop putting off her relationship with Roanna. (AUDIO: Spirit of the Season [+]Loading...["Spirit of the Season (audio story)"])
Life in Chicago

Eventually, Valarie left the TARDIS and returned to 19th century Chicago where Hayden met her for the first time. They married at Niagara Falls and she wore a bowler hat during the ceremony, after which Hayden adopted her surname. She made sure only to tell him about her adventures prior to when she first met him during her adventures with the Doctor, but did give him information on future technology for his company to produce.

Alternate timelines
The TARDIS landed on 28 May 1832 due to temporal disruption and Valarie and the Doctor met Évariste Galois. She fell through a rift to when Galois was in prison in 1830 and brought him to 1832 to save him from his death, but the Doctor told her that he had to go back. When she returned to 1830 with him, multiple versions of herself, the Doctor and Galois existed because of her actions and she was given TARDIS calibrations by the other Doctor to give to her version. The two TARDISes resolved the situation and this Valarie ceased to be. (AUDIO: The Galois Group [+]Loading...["The Galois Group (audio story)"])
