Besma Greive

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Besma Greive was a researcher who lived on Hitchemus for many years.

Besma researched the Hitchemus Tigers for a long time, but never made much of a breakthrough, although Anji Kapoor found the truth amongst her notes.

Besma shared a house with many tigers, most notably Longbody, and even taught some of them how to speak the language of humans. She thought of them as her friends or pets.

Besma never cared much for the noise of Hitchemus's many musicians, and was mainly there just for the tigers. She spent a lot of time in the library, and then later, with Anji and the Movement.

Besma was killed by Longbody outside the Stela. (PROSE: The Year of Intelligent Tigers)
