War Ollistra: Difference between revisions

Ollistra was a heartless politician, so much so that Bennus and Arverton joked over the existence of Ollistra's emotions, and was also deeply patriotic, allowing Gallifreyans to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. She displayed a discontent with the Gallifreyan armed forces, telling two soldiers "The Doctor is worth a hundred of you... people!". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Innocent (audio story)|The Innocent]]'')

Ollistra was regularly callous and decadent and retained the mindset that any act done in the name of Gallifrey's victory of the Time War was a necessary means to that end; to this extent, she threatened to force the [[Eighth Doctor]] to regenerate in the hopes of making him more co-operative in the war effort. ([[AUDIO|AUDIO:]] ''[[The Conscript (audio story)|The Conscript]]'')

Although Ollistra respected the Doctor's efforts for Gallifrey, she also appeared to despise him, describing him as "a thorn in [the Time Lords'] side" and "An embarrassment for most of his lives." When he was presumed dead, Ollistra confessed that she felt the universe "a far more dangerous place without [him]", displaying that she had some level of recognition for his pursuits and actions. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Innocent (audio story)|The Innocent]]'') Nevertheless, she constantly butted heads with the War Doctor, hardly ever agreed with his conflicting morals or decisions and was generally only willing to cooperate with him in the direst of situations or if the circumstances aided the war effort in favour of Gallifrey.
