The Rani channeled the intellects of the geniuses a giant artifical brain which she believed could find the secret to manipulating [[strange matter]] in order to make the planet of Lakertya [[Time Manipulator]] in order to correct what she considered to be errors in the universal [[timeline]]. Her first target was to be Earth, where she would prevent the extinction of the [[dinosaur]]s, creatures whose full potential she felt had never been truly realised. She considered the death of the native [[Lakertyan]]s a small price to pay. The Doctor, though, defeated her and the Tetraps turned against her and imprisoned her on their home planet. ([[DW]]: ''[[Time and the Rani]]''). The Rani did manage with the help of the very persons upon whom the Tetraps instructed her to experiment ([[BBV]]: ''[[The Rani Reaps the Whirlwind]]'') | The Rani channeled the intellects of the geniuses a giant artifical brain which she believed could find the secret to manipulating [[strange matter]] in order to make the planet of Lakertya [[Time Manipulator]] in order to correct what she considered to be errors in the universal [[timeline]].

An evil scientific genius whose villainy comes not from the usual variety of lust for power and suchlike, but from a mindset that treats everything (including morality) as secondary to her research; she has been known to enslave entire [[planet]]s in order to have a ready supply of experimental subjects and a place to carry out her experiments uninterrupted.
