At the moment, this is potentially speculative, and the info comes from an as yet un-aired interview with Steven Moffat for BBC Radio 5. But, according to DoctorWhoTV, Mr Moffat has said the following about the new companion:

At the risk of sounding bitchy here, I do not want her to be ( ... )

I don't want her to be any of those things either, so having no links to previous characters made me sigh with relief. :)

Oh, me too. Although somehow, some fans just seem to think that it's the Moff being cagey and she really will turn out to be one of the above (if not more than one ><). I know he swore River was 100% human and of course, then she turned out to be 100% human PLUS (now with extra Time Lord D! N! A!), but I'd like to think he wouldn't repeat that trick so quickly. Or give us another companion connected to other people so soon after the whole Ponds and River story (which I absolutely LOVE, but don't want a rerun of within a year ( ... )

Well, Leela was also an alien technically, even if IIRC descended from humans on Earth.

I have no problems with another 21st century Earth companion, so long as she's interesting and has good chemistry with the Doctor.

My cracky theory is that given Jenna-Louise's real life boyfriend is Richard Madden, she's really a renegade Targaryen who slipped through the cracks of the Multiverse and grew up on Earth. She's 100% human but has the amazing ability to handle dragons. ;)

ROTFLMAO! There's a crackfic right there, just waiting to be written. : )

BTW, I completely agree with your 1-7 list. I'll add a #8: a human/ Time Lord child of Rose and Ten-clone that somehow made her way into "this" universe to look for her "other" dad.

I might even have to do it myself some day. Although she doesn't have the right colouring to be from the Targaryen family (they're all platinum haired with violet/indigo/lilac/whatever eyes), that's really the only one with major magical characteristics. And I wouldn't want her to be related to her bf's character because there's already enough incest in Game of Thrones to last a lifetime.

They really are gorgeous together.

OMG, I forgot about #8. I think I just blocked it out of my mind because it's too horrific a concept. Although now I'm thinking "Clara has two daddies"

ROTFL!

Well, we should all thank our stars that Moff seems to have very little interest in resurrecting RTD's leftover story ideas.

I agree in the sense that all the ways Moff is describing her is sort of setting her up to be the second coming of Jesus or whatever, and nothing can really live up to that sort of hype. That being said, it would be sort of hilarious if she WERE the Rani, because the Doctor would be OH FFS.

But I think she'll be someone completely new.
