Leela (clone)
A clone of Leela was created to fight the Swarm inside the Fourth Doctor's mind.
Due to the hasty measures taken for its creation, the clone was a short-lived "photocopy" created by the Kilbracken cloning technique. She had a maximum lifespan of 11 minutes. Her mind contained memories and experiences of the original. Her outfit and knife were cloned as well.
As her "outside self" was made out of the same material, when the original Leela felt pain, so did the copy. Like Leela, she was immune to the Swarm. (TV: The Invisible Enemy)
Origin[[edit] | [edit source]]
In 5000, the real Doctor had put himself in a self-induced coma at the Bi-Al Foundation to prevent the Swarm from taking control of his mind and spreading his virus across time and space as their "carrier". He had Professor Marius take a blood sample from Leela and him to create the cloned Fourth Doctor and Leela, as Leela was immune to the Swarm. (TV: The Invisible Enemy)
Entering the Doctor's mind[[edit] | [edit source]]
Leela was shrunk by the Doctor's relative dimensional stabiliser. Professor Marius injected the shrunken Doctor and Leela into the real Doctor's brain. While searching for damage, Leela was attacked by phagocytes; the Doctor interfered with the real Doctor's brain to drive them off.
They crossed the mind-brain interface. Detecting something evil approaching them, Leela ran off and found a clone of Lowe. Lowe was killed by the Doctor's phagocytes, but Leela had been mortally wounded by his gun. As she died, she dissolved into the real Doctor's tear ducts, granting the Doctor Leela's immunity to the Swarm. (TV: The Invisible Enemy)
