Thalira
Thalira (pronounced "Thah-LEER-ah") was the daughter of King Peladon and later Queen of Peladon.
Profile
Part Human and part Peladonian, Thalira had the typical russet hair and white streak of a Pel. She inherited the throne following the death of her father. She was crowned because King Peladon had no sons, and at first she was considered to be ruler mostly in title. Thanks to encouraging words from Sarah Jane Smith, who helped her get over her insecurity of her role as a woman in a male-dominated society, she began to assert herself and helped the Doctor defeat the plans of Eckersley and Azaxyr to take over Peladon for Galaxy 5. Eckersley took her hostage, but she was rescued by Aggedor. (DW: The Monster of Peladon) Thalira died years later in a shuttle accident. (NA: Legacy)
