'''Sheena''', originally, was a companion of the [[Eighth Doctor]] who met him at some point during the [[Last Great Time War]], although due to the war causing [[reality]] to shift, he couldn't remember when they met or how long they'd been travelling.
'''Sheena''' was a [[companion]] of the [[Eighth Doctor]] whose life was altered and ultimately erased by the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]].


After arriving on the [[starship]] ''[[Theseus (ship)|Theseus]]'', reality began to shift until Sheena became "Emma", the same person albeit with a different name. Another reality flux made her name "Louise" before the Doctor realised the change when he couldn't remember her name, and even she didn't seem sure as to what her name was. Finally, another shift came, and Sheena/Emma/Louise was lost completely, having been erased from [[time]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Starship of Theseus (audio story)|The Starship of Theseus]]'')
== Biography ==
=== Sheena ===
Sheena learnt about the [[solar system]] in [[school]] and recognised [[Jupiter]] by sight. She travelled in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] with the [[Eighth Doctor]] and had a number of adventures, leading her to decide that it was time for them to take a [[holiday]] when they landed on the ''[[Theseus (ship)|Theseus]]''. She did not believe that the disappearance of [[Koloth]]'s [[Koloth's sister|sister]] was suspicious and was eager to watch the ship's take-off. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Starship of Theseus (audio story)|The Starship of Theseus]]'')
 
=== Emma ===
As a result of the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]] affecting history, Sheena became Emma and met [[Quarren Maguire|Quarren]] and [[Rupa Maguire]] as she and the Doctor waited for take-off, a view which amazed her. She did not notice that Koloth had not been escorted from the ship and went with the Doctor to investigate, pretending that they were with the [[cabaret]] in order to get past [[Jefferson (The Starship of Theseus)|Jefferson]] and into the crew quarters. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Starship of Theseus (audio story)|The Starship of Theseus]]'')
 
=== Louise ===
Emma became Louise, who indicated that she came from several centuries in the past. She and the Doctor found Koloth, although a change in time meant that they had not yet done so and were too late to save him from the [[troll (The Starship of Theseus)|troll]]. The Doctor called Louise by her previous two names and forgot how they met and how long they had spent together, with Louise herself hesitating for a moment before giving her name. They fled from the troll and joined the [[refugee]]s; when the Doctor mentioned people being on holiday, Louise told him that the ''Theseus'' was a refugee ship. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Starship of Theseus (audio story)|The Starship of Theseus]]'')
 
=== Fate ===
Louise disappeared and the Doctor came to remember that he had arrived on the ''Theseus'' alone. Quarren and Rupa confirm that this was the case, although they recall that he said that he lost somebody in the attack before the ''Theseus'' launched. When he remembered the Time War, he recalled being with a girl. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Starship of Theseus (audio story)|The Starship of Theseus]]'')
 
== Legacy ==
Following exposure to a significant number of [[alternate timeline]]s shown in [[Deepa|Professor Deepa]]'s [[quantum visualiser]], the Doctor regained his memories of both Sheena and Emma. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[State of Bliss (audio story)|State of Bliss]]'')
 
When [[Bliss]] began to remember the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]] following their erasure by [[the Valeyard]], she remembered "a woman" on the ''[[Theseus (ship)|Theseus]]'' who also knew the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dreadshade (audio story)|Dreadshade]]'')
 
== Behind the scenes ==
* [[John Dorney]] wrote Sheena as a "fairly standard [and] traditional" [[companion]]. (''[[VOR 104]]'')
* [[David Richardson]] had [[Olivia Vinall]] on his "radar" for some time and, whilst she had proven unavailable for other roles at [[Big Finish Productions|Big Finish]], she was able to record for Sheena between filming dates. (''[[VOR 104]]'')
