Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Early life[[edit] | [edit source]]
When she was a young child, Roanna was told a version of the Medrüthian creation myth, wherein one lonely entity split into many and populated the universe. She believed that everyone went on a journey and would "tread the circle" before being united after they die. (AUDIO: The Yearn)
Plagued by the Yearn[[edit] | [edit source]]
Roanna worked at a research and development lab which created containment units for star drives, however when the Yearn started to make the Medrüthians disappear, the lab instead focused it's efforts on researching weapons to combat the Yearn. One night, a research team discovered that Zelanor energy might disrupt what the Yearn were made of, but the next morning most of the team had disappeared. Roanna found herself one of three remaining survivors at the base, alongside Hoster and Wyler.
Meeting the Doctor and Valarie[[edit] | [edit source]]
Roanna encountered the Eleventh Doctor and Valarie Lockwood when they arrived at the base, to Hoster's immediate distrust. Roanna was immediately enamoured with Valarie and was tasked with keeping an eye on her while the Doctor was interviewed by Hoster and Wyler. She opened up to Valarie about her loneliness about being trapped on the base, and disagreed with Hoster's decision to lock the Doctor and Valarie in the cells. After bringing the pair a meal in their cell, she was absorbed by the Yearn. However she was returned the next morning as the space taken up by the TARDIS within the Yearn left her enable to be absorbed. She helped to convince Hoster that he should trust the Doctor's plan to trap one of the Yearn and she took first watch with Valarie, during which time they shared their first kiss. After the Yearn was defeated, the Doctor was interested in taking Roanna with them in the TARDIS, although Valarie thought it was unfair to ask her to. Roanna told Valarie that she would have taken up the offer had there not been so much rebuilding to do on Medrüth. They share another kiss and then part ways. (AUDIO: The Yearn)
Roanna stayed in touch with Valarie after their meeting on Medrüth, and they spoke on the phone regularly. The Doctor planned to take Valarie back to Medrüth to visit her. (AUDIO: Broken Hearts)
Learning of her fate[[edit] | [edit source]]
Taking Roanna and Valarie to Chicago's World's Fair in 1893 for their first date, their evening was ruined by a man claiming to be Valarie's future husband, Hayden Lockwood. Stepping very carefully to avoid damaging the Web of Time, the Doctor learnt that a future version of Valarie was seriously ill and on life support at the Lockwood Foundation. Hayden's assistant, Maria, explained that future Valarie was providing them with anachronistic technology in order to cure mutated creatures who had been affected by what the Doctor coined "the Surge". She continued to explain that one of these had been a future Roanna, who had escaped and had killed a nurse.
Meanwhile, back on their date, Roanna was shot by Hayden's assistant Frank, in an attempt to stop Roanna from becoming her destined future mutation and killing said nurse, who happened to be Frank's wife. With Frank turning monstrous, he gave chase, and catching up with the Doctor and Hayden, the two of them bested Frank, causing his death. Back at the foundation, Maria sent Valarie and the Doctor to visit Hayden while she murdered the future Roanna and disconnected future Valarie's life support. Upon inspecting the monsters, the Doctor recognised Fulcrum Corporation technology and revealed that Maria had been Arabella Hendricks all along.
With the completed Surge serum in hand, Hendricks escaped to put her serum on the market for her mysterious affiliate. With the group finding out about Valarie's future death, and the Doctor coming to terms with it, Roanna persuaded Hayden to join her on Medrüth. There, Valarie and Roanna accepted that their fates will come but decided to live in the moment and continue their relationship, instead of allowing their futures to dictate their present. Valarie indicated that she intended to continue travelling in the TARDIS with the Doctor. (AUDIO: All's Fair)
