Missy: Difference between revisions

Missy was a devious planner and skilled manipulator, able to manoeuvre others into place with ease by exploiting their desires. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Death in Heaven (TV story)}}) While trapped on [[Skaro]] with [[Clara Oswald]], Missy demonstrated fluid planning as her desires changed from wanting to ally with the Daleks, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)}}) to wanting to help the Doctor, to then wanting the Doctor to unintentionally kill Clara, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Witch's Familiar (TV story)}}) and she was capable of long-term planning, as she worked out a long plan to gain entry into [[the Monk's TARDIS]] and steal a component after [[Missy's vortex manipulator|her Vortex Manipulator]] was damaged and she discovered {{Hound}} was disguised as [[Henry VIII]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Divorced, Beheaded, Regenerated (audio story)|Divorced, Beheaded, Regenerated]]'') After her past self unleashed an entropy wave on the universe, Missy manipulated her own past incarnations in an attempt to have them stop it or otherwise salvage something from the catastrophe, with three incarnations attempting to do as she had intended. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Masterful (audio story)|Masterful]]'') She was also a convincing liar, especially when using her talent for manipulative reasons. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dark Water (TV story)}}, {{cs|Death in Heaven (TV story)}}) However, Missy would often opt for one solitary scheme with virtually no contingencies or back-up plans in place to help steer events back towards her favour like her previous incarnations employed, instead opting to give the Doctor false hope of reaching Gallifrey after she was beaten, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Death in Heaven (TV story)}}) and walking away with nothing but taunts to say when the Doctor didn't kill Clara. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Witch's Familiar (TV story)}})
