Unlike the Doctor, Ruath decided to stay on [[Gallifrey]]. During this time she developed an academic interest in [[vampire]]s which grew into an obsession. Ruath was part of a research team studying texts from [[Rassilon]]'s time. In a volume of the [[ROO texts]], she found a story detailing how Rassilon was bitten by and converted into a vampire towards the end of his life. Along with other students of the Undead, she found vampire shrines in the [[Capitol]]. Presumably she joined the [[Cult of the Vampire Rassilon]], as she first learnt about [[Yarven|the Vampire Messiah]] from them. She later used [[Romana II|Romana]] to steal a [[TARDIS]], get to [[Earth]] and find Yarven. | |||

She rescued him from his grave where he had been buried, and lay still alive. When her plan to give him [[Fifth Doctor|the Doctor]]'s blood failed she gave him all her own, which resulted in her second regeneration.

Ruath then planned to make him her consort once Yarven had sacrificed himself, but she was caught before this could happen. After Yarven and the other vampires were destroyed, she escaped and confronted the Doctor aboard [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]]. The Doctor admitted that he purposefully left Ruath behind on Gallifrey because he believed that she couldn't handle the life of a renegade, which until then was a decision he hadn't regretted. When [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] intervened, Ruath tried to kill her but [[Nyssa]] opened the doors of the TARDIS, and Ruath was sucked out into the vortex. The Doctor said that Ruath was most likely dead. ([[MA]]: ''[[Goth Opera]]'') | ||
