Donna Noble appreciation week, day 1
Welcome to the Donna Noble appreciation week, a part of womenlovefest project, which concentrates on spreading the love for the neglected, undervalued or criticized female characters. Each day I'm gonna be posting things that have even in a slightest way something to do with brilliant Donna.
Before I start, I'd like to say that I am fully aware of the fact that Donna is quite popular in the Who fandom (duh, how can you not like her?), but I've also heard the opinions of her haters (haters gonna hate), which were obviously absolutely ridiculous, plus with all this Eleven's and his companions' boom people tend to forget that once upon a time there was this amazing lady who saved ONLY THE WHOLE UNIVERSE.
WARNING: obviously, there will be spoilers. If you haven't seen The Runaway Bride yet and you're not a spoilerwhore like me, I advise you not to click on the cut.
Another warning: I'm shamelessly overusing the word awesome in all its forms.
So, without further ado, let me show you
(huge thanks to sunnsea for finding this pic)
This little redhead is Donna Noble. From a very young age, she has showed who sets the tone - on her first day at school, she was sent home for biting and when she was six and her mother refused to take her on a holiday, she simply got on a bus and went on her own all the way to Strathclyde. Way to go, girl!
(Point 1: Donna Noble was an awesome kid. And that's because...)
The relatives of Donna, from the left: Geoffrey Noble (awesome father, who unfortunately died on 15.05.2008 (because of the actor's, Howard Attfield's own death)), Sylvia Noble (mother, who somehow skipped the lesson of the awesomeness in this family) and Wilfred Mott (grandfather, you can find him in the dictionary under "pure awesomeness"). His wife was Eileen, never portrayed in the series (dead).
(Point 2: Donna Noble had awesomeness in her blood.)
When we first meet Donna (okay, when we first properly meet Donna), she's walking happily down the aisle and is about to marry her beloved fiance, Lance.
(Point 3: I don't really know what to write here, so I'm gonna say: DONNA NOBLE LOOKS GREAT IN A WEDDING DRESS.)
But Lance isn't as lovely as he seems (well, he's not my type, so I can't really say) and he's got a dark secret. Long story short, he's basically cheating on Donna with a giant spider (well, she's actually the Empress of the Racnoss, but she still looks like a giant spider) and he'd been feeding Donna with Huon particles, that were supposed to mature in her and then help the Empress regain her ancient energy (oh, because she and her mates, not God, built the Earth, didn't I mention it?). Of course Lance thought that if he helped her, he would get out of this whole mess alive and get special privileges (typical guy), but - surprise - he ended up as a dinner for Empress'es kids.
(Point 4: Donna Noble didn't. Because she's a bloody Tarzan.)
Getting back to Donna. When the particles inside her felt the Doctor's emo TARDIS's relative proximity, they transported Donna inside her (good old TARDIS knew best where Donna's place was) and made the Doctor forget for a short while about his misery (Daleks gone forever and so on).
(Point 5: There were no coincidences, though, because the truth is, Donna Noble meeting the Doctor was a part of a whole masterplan that the Universe had. If everyone were Donna Noble, then the question about the sense of our existence would have absolutely no meaning.)
And this is how the journey begins.
Now, I'm not gonna retell the whole story, because - let's face it - unfortunately no one can be told what Doctor Who is, you have to see it for yourself (yes, I've just quoted The Matrix, bite me), and even if I could, I'd need to give up on living for the whole week. My goal was to remind everyone how it all started and to make some sort of introducion to this amazing week that the Women Love Fest will be.
Later on, though not chronologically, the story will continue in all sorts of ways (you can expect music, words, something to watch and yes, more pretty pictures).
For now, I just want to get some things straight.
Well, one thing, to be precise.
Donna Noble owns the bloody Universe.
See you tomorrow.
