Character Name: Donna Noble
Fandom: Doctor Who
Chronology: Just before she's hit by Davros' bolt of electricity in 4x13 Journey's End.
Class: Hero
Superhero name: Supertemp
Alter ego: None
Background
The world of the New Doctor Who is set in the early 21st century, where the threat of aliens invading the Earth is a common thing (despite the fact that some people still refuse to believe it). The alien races that mean to harm Earth are usually stopped by a man called the Doctor. An alien himself, the Doctor is a Time Lord who's entire race died in a great intergalactic Time War. He now chooses to spend his days travelling through space and time in his spaceship/time machine, called the TARDIS (stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space), saving planets and rescuing civilizations. Occasionally he picks up companions to help him and just provide him with general friendship. Donna was one such companion.
Donna was born in the late 1970s to Geoff, who later died, and Sylvia Noble (nee Mott). Growing up, she was always closest to her grandfather, Wilfred Mott, who nicknamed her ‘The Little General’ due to her outspoken and determined ways, one such example of this being when Donna was six, she was refused a holiday by her mother so she boarded a bus to Strathclyde in an attempt to take her own holiday. Wilf, and it is implied Geoff as well before his death, often acted as a mediator between Donna and Sylvia as they had a very strained relationship due to Sylvia’s overbearing nature.
Donna first met the Doctor at Christmas 2007 when she assumed he had kidnapped her after she had somehow been transported into his space and time machine (the TARDIS) on her wedding day, no less. However it was later discovered that the cause for this was because Donna had been being dosed with huon particles by her husband-to-be, who was really in league with a giant, alien spider called the Racnoss and the two planned to use Donna to open the centre of the Earth, allowing potentially millions of carnivorous Racnoss children to be unleashed upon the world. However the Doctor managed to save the day and, still angry and bitter at the loss of Rose Tyler, eliminated the Racnoss savagely with water and fire. After this, he asked Donna if she would like to come with him on his travels in the TARDIS, but she refused because of how he ‘frightened her to death’, particularly when he just let the last of the Racnoss race die. Although, despite turning down his offer, she did tell him to find someone, someone who could stop him from succumbing to his darker urges, and he, in turn, told her to ‘be magnificent’.
She later took the Doctor’s advice and attempted to fill her life with some adventure, when she found that she couldn’t merely resume her old, normal life after what she had seen; she even took a trip to Egypt in an attempt to force some excitement into her life. Then when she returned, she realized how mad she must’ve been to turn down the Doctor’s offer at Christmas and thusly spent a year searching for him, investigating alien conspiracies in a hope that he would be connected.
She later found him while investigating the Adipose Industry, a company which creates slimming pills that, unbeknownst to the public, turns the fat in a person’s body into a little alien, called an Adipose. Following that the Doctor once again offered her the chance to join him on his travels and she accepted, showing him that she had already packed thoroughly for this moment, even including a hat box. However, just before they set off, Donna rushed back to put the car keys of her mother’s car somewhere where she could find them, telling a blonde woman outside the Adipose Industry where her mother could find them. This blonde woman was Rose Tyler, who was previously believed to have been lost to an alternate universe.
Donna’s first adventure with the Doctor involved arriving in Pompeii the day Mt Vesuvius was due to erupt. There, she encountered rock monsters living in the heart of the volcano, soothsayers who were turning to stone and was almost sacrificed by said soothsayers, but never - even when the Doctor opposed her - did she give up on her endeavour to save everyone from the eruption. Later, she was able to persuade the Doctor to save at least one family. Next they travelled to the Ood Sphere, the homeplanet of the Ood who were a race of benevolent beings that live to serve their human masters. Or so it would appear. Instead, the Doctor and Donna discovered a dark secret regarding the Ood’s subservience and liberated them once and for all.
Following that, a former companion of the Doctor, Martha Jones, summoned him back to Earth to assist with a problem UNIT (an organization designed to defend the Earth against alien attacks) were having with the ATMOS devices. These devices were designed to reduce the carbon emissions a car gave out to zero, but UNIT believed there was an alien aspect to them due to the number of car-related deaths that occurred all over the world at exactly the same time. It was later discovered that a race of war-loving aliens called the Sontarans were behind it and, unknown to them, Donna was taken to their ship on board the TARDIS and was left on her own to dismantle the teleportation blocks, so a bomb could be sent up to their ship, destroying them once and for all.
Following this encounter with the Sontarans, she, Martha and the Doctor were suddenly taken by the TARDIS into the far future to the planet of Messaline were a war was raging between the humans and fish-like creatures called the Hath. There, a sample of the Doctor’s biological tissue was stolen and used to create his daughter, Jenny, who emerged from a progenation machine, fully grown and with the knowledge of how to fight and how to die already implanted into her brain. Initially the Doctor rejected his daughter, due to his pacifist ways and the fact that he saw her as nothing more than a murdering soldier. However, Donna showed a lot more compassion towards her, even being the one to name her Jenny. While on Messaline, Donna was able to use her numeracy skills to discover that the war that was supposedly raging for generations had, in reality, only been going on a week and only seemed like it had been going on for generations because the progenation machines allowed each race to produce twenty generations per day. Also around this time Donna persuaded the Doctor to allow Jenny to accompany them on their travels, however Jenny was shot before this could happen and the Doctor left thinking she’d died (she was resurrected after he had left) and Donna was quick to console him for the loss he had suffered.
After that, they travelled to the 1920s and met Agatha Christie on the day of her disappearance at a garden party. There, the Doctor and Donna got embroiled in a murder mystery and Donna found herself forced into killing a giant alien wasp after it threatened to kill Agatha and disrupt the timelines. Following their trip to the 1920s, the Doctor and Donna then travelled to a planet called the Library, which was infested with Vashta Nerada, carnivorous creatures who feast on anything and which hide away in the shadows. While there, Donna discovered from the mysterious River Song - who was from the Doctor’s future - that she wouldn’t be travelling with him forever, as she originally intended to do. Also at the Library, Donna was later saved into the computer’s hard drive and taken to a virtual world where she was married to man called Lee and had two children, Josh and Ella. However, the Doctor shattered this idealistic world for her when he released all those who had been saved by the computer and it was later discovered by the audience that Lee wasn’t a fabrication of the virtual world, but instead a real person who had been saved like Donna, but his speech impediment hindered him from calling out to her just as she was leaving with the Doctor.
After that, the two of them travelled to a planet called Midnight where Donna chose to indulge in a spa day rather than accompany the Doctor on a bus trip. However, she was a source of comfort for him when it was discovered that while he was on the trip a witch hunt was led against him by the other passengers when an alien threat made itself known, frightening the other passengers into believing that the Doctor was the cause of it. Some time after that the Doctor decided to take Donna to a planet called Shan Shen where she agreed to let a fortune teller tell her fortune.
There, a Time Beetle fastened itself to her back, transporting her to a world in which she never met the Doctor and, because of this, the Doctor died in the floods that destroyed the Racnoss on Christmas Day 2007. Things then went on a downward spiral from there as all the disasters the Doctor prevented took a major toll on the world. For example, many of the people in Saint Hope’s Hospital, which was transported to the moon, died because of lack of oxygen because the Doctor wasn’t there to bring them back to Earth on time. Then a replica spaceship of the Titanic crashed into London, acting as a nuclear bomb and killing all the people who had stayed in London that Christmas. And the ATMOS devices of the Sontarans’ went off, polluting the atmosphere and were only stopped when the Torchwood team risked their lives to save the Earth.
However, all while this was going on, Donna kept meeting a mysterious blonde woman - known to the audience as Rose Tyler who was supposedly lost to a parallel world - who tells her that she is special and that the Doctor thought so, too. After several failed attempts Rose persuades Donna to come with her to a place where Donna discovers the Time Beetle on her back and is sent back in time to where her past self made the choice to never meet the Doctor by turning right to go to an interview for an permanent job instead of turning left to take up a position as a temp. Donna arrived half a mile away from where she was meant to, so she ran to where she was meant to be, but upon seeing she would never make it in time made the ultimate sacrifice and stepped out in front a truck, which killed her and her death caused a nearby traffic jam which led her past self to decide to turn left because she was too impatient to wait in traffic. As the future alternate Donna was dying however, Rose came and whispered two words in her ear, ‘Bad Wolf.’ When Donna returned to Shan Shen, the fortune teller was frightened of her, unable to comprehend what she was and what she would soon become. However, Donna had little time to dwell on that because as soon as she told the Doctor about her experience in the alternate world, about Rose and about ‘Bad Wolf’, he announced that the end of the universe had come.
The Doctor and Donna then came back to Earth and saw that everything was surprisingly normal, that is until it was stolen along with 26 other planets and taken to an unknown location. While the Doctor’s former companions back on Earth tried to wrap their heads around what had just happened and keep themselves and the world safe from the Daleks - one of the Doctor’s greatest foes - Donna and the Doctor travelled to the Shadow Proclamation - an intergalactic organization determined to keep the universe safe. There, Donna started hearing a mysterious heartbeat and was told by a woman that she was sorry for the ‘loss that was yet to come’. Also there, Donna was able to put the Doctor on the right path to finding where the 27 stolen planets where by mentioning how the bees had been disappearing back home and the Doctor and Donna fled the Shadow Proclamation to follow the trail when the leader demanded that the usually pacifist Doctor lead them into an intergalactic war against the Daleks. The trail took them to the Medusa Cascade where they found the planets hidden a second out of sync with the rest of the universe. They took the TARDIS down to Earth and there the Doctor saw Rose in the street. He started running towards her, preparing for an emotional reunion, but before he could reach her a Dalek appeared and shot him, the shot clipping his shoulder. Former companion, Captain Jack Harkness then teleported in and blasted the Dalek before he, Rose and Donna worked on getting the Doctor inside so he can regenerate - the Doctor’s race, the Time Lords, have the ability to regenerate into another body when their old one is sick or dying.
However, after healing himself, the Doctor was able to channel all of his spare regeneration energy into his spare hand that got cut off in a sword fight on Christmas Day 2006. The TARDIS was then teleported up to the Dalek spaceship, the Crucible, which housed a whole empire of lethal, killing machines. The Doctor, Rose, Jack and Donna all prepared to leave the TARDIS and face their enemies. But, Donna was distracted as she kept hearing that mysterious heartbeat, so she was a few paces behind everyone else. By the time she got to the TARDIS door, an unknown force shut it on her, locking her in. The Daleks then mercilessly sent the TARDIS down into the Crucible’s engines which were made of pure energy and would tear the TARDIS apart and subsequently kill Donna. However, she managed to escape when she touched the Doctor's spare hand that was bubbling with regeneration energy and a second Doctor - a half-human, half-Time Lord one - was formed. He was able to pilot the TARDIS and lead them to safety.
The real Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack had all been captured and were soon joined by Jackie Tyler, Mickey Smith, Sarah Jane Smith and Martha Jones. They discovered that the Daleks and Davros planned to reduce the entire universe into atoms, so the Daleks would be the only remaining - and therefore, supreme - race. The half-human Doctor realized this and made a weapon. When the TARDIS materialized in the Crucible, he charged out brashly with the weapon. However, Davros neutralized him by shocking him with a bolt of lightning and containing him in a holding cell. Donna then hurried out, but didn't know what to do with the weapon. Davros seized his opportunity and fired a bolt of lightning at her. But, before the lightning could hit her, she was transported to the City.
Personality
In her first appearance, Donna was portrayed as loud and brash, often shouting at the Doctor and keeping him at arm's length, with her knowledge of the world limited to what she could find in a gossip magazine or on the television. She was also noted to have missed many major alien encounters the people of the Doctor Who universe experienced, claiming to have missed the Sycorax invasion on Christmas Day 2006 because she had a hangover and the Cybermen invasion of 2007 because she was scuba-diving in Spain. As such, she was very skeptical of the idea of aliens when she first met the Doctor, so automatically assumed that he was in league with her 'friend' Nerys and had kidnapped her so she would miss her wedding day.
However, following her first encounter with the Doctor, she was shown to have mellowed quite a bit, yelling a bit less, although she was still prone to shouting when feeling particularly angry or indignant and she was never afraid to give the Doctor a sharp slap or argue with him if she felt like he was out of line. Also, during her initial meeting with the Doctor, she claims that he opened her eyes and she learned to see the bigger picture, expanding her knowledge beyond Brad and Angelina, X-Factor, Heat, etc. etc. which is seen by the fact that she started researching aliens in an attempt to find the Doctor again. However, although primarily portrayed as unintelligent (usually for comic relief) she is shown to be quite clever, for example she mastered the Dewey Decimal System in two days while working at a library.
Although, even while travelling with the Doctor, she was shown to have retained some of her fiery personality and sharp sarcastic ways, she was also shown to have a deep well of compassion, almost adopting the role as the Doctor's conscience, such as when she encouraged him to accept Jenny as his daughter and when she pleaded him to save at least one family from Pompeii. She is also notably a pacifist, trying to avoid war and a violent confrontation where possible and when she met Martha Jones, who, after leaving the Doctor, had joined a military group, Donna asked the Doctor disgustedly "That's what you did to her, turned her into a soldier?" The only time she killed during her tenure on the show was when she drowned the Vespiform (a giant alien wasp) when it was about to kill famous novelist Agatha Christie and drastically disrupt the timelines. Afterwards, she claimed that she couldn't help herself.
Donna is also shown to have rather low self-esteem, stemmed from her mother never telling her how special she was and berating her for the simplest things rather than praising her for her successes. As such, Donna persistently and vehemently claims that she is nothing more than a simple temp from Chiswick, even though both the Doctor and Rose have claimed she is so much more. Donna's low self-esteem is also shown to be responsible for her often loud and brash attitude as she was noted to be "shouting at the world because no one was listening."
Power
During her previous tenure in the City, because of her time-travelling experience, Donna had the power to see a person's entire past with just a single glance. However, I am changing that slightly in that, she can now only see certain glimpses of a person's past (the strongest memories) but only by establishing physical contact. To begin with these glimpses will be vague, but as she grows more accustomed to it, the memories will become much clearer.
