Martha Jones, I think I love you.
I am still two episodes from the end of the most recent season of Dr. Who, but I am really feeling the Martha love. I dreamed about her last night and this morning was composing sad Martha fic in my head (which will have to wait till I watch the the last two episodes to get written). If Rose was heart then Martha is head and yet she does not have the flatness that might cause. She's not emotionally disconnected, overly clinical, snobby, or impractical. She's very tangible and someone that I at least find the easiest of any of the characters to empathize with. She has a life before the Doctor's arrival and she isn't afraid to admit that she has feelings for him. She has something to lose and yet cannot resist the lure of adventure. Of course I love Rose, but I could never be her. Martha serves me much better for self insertion. Which isn't her only purpose, but is significant. She's much more confident, open, and many other things than I am of course. But she fits into my personal subheading even if I would never actually do some of the things she does.
