Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:billiepiper_5318.jpg\|frame\|Billie Piper in May 2000, back when she was best known as a pop singer.]] Born in 1982, Billie Paul Piper is the only ''[[~~Doctor Who (TV)\|~~Doctor Who]]'' companion to have three UK Number Ones to her name. She's notable via dyed blonde hair, big black eyebrows and being a Fox. Literally, as she married Laurence Fox in December 2007. She recently{{when}} gave birth to their first child, Winston James Fox. She started out as an actor, but moved into singing, with "[[Ear Worm\|Because We Want To]]" making her (at fifteen) the youngest singer to debut at No. 1. After two more, her star faded somewhat -- but in the middle of a lot of chaos, she married British presenter Chris Evans (no, not that [[Chris Evans]]). The marriage lasted for years and the two remain good friends. In 2003, Billie went back to acting. In 2003, she appeared in a modern version of ''The Miller's Tale'' (from ''[[~~The Canterbury Tales (Literature)\|~~The Canterbury Tales]]''). In 2004, she was cast in the revived ''[[~~Doctor Who (TV)\|~~Doctor Who]]'' as Rose Tyler, [[The Watson\|one of the many companions]]. Despite the initial "She's going to be a load of rubbish" feelings among many of the fandom, she proved to be very good indeed. A [[Shipping\|Ship]] (Doctor/Rose) requires a good navigator and she was it. So much so, that when [[Freema Agyeman]] came along, Martha Jones was subjected to [[Die for Our Ship]]. After her departure from ''Who'', she's appeared in some other things, most notably as Sally Lockhart in two [[Philip Pullman]] adaptations (alongside [[Matt Smith]], which should give rise to some interesting [[Shipping]] [[Fan Vid\|fanvids]]). That and ''[[Secret Diary of a Call Girl]]'' (where [[Matt Smith]] also showed up... hoo boy). ~~----~~ {{creatortropes}} ~~=== Recognizable tropes employed by Ms. Piper: ===~~ * [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: Although not so much large as prominently noticeable. * [[Dye Hard]] * [[Gender Blender Name]]: Not just her ~~forename~~given name. Her middle name too, -- it's Paul. ** Although "Billie" is the female version of "Billy," but it sounds no different. * [[Hollywood Pudgy]]: She's not exactly super-slim, but she does have a healthy frame. In fact, it was because of this trope that led her to have anorexia as a teenager when she was called "fat" at the Brit Awards. ** For perspective, [http://hellyeahbilliepiper.tumblr.com/post/711610914/billiemoods-brit-awards this] is her at the Brit Awards. And [[What an Idiot!\|somebody]] called her fat. WTF. * [[Teen Idol]]: Was a very successful one in the 1990s, and was often referred to as the British equivalent of [[Britney Spears]]. * [[Yoko Oh No]]: When she was dating Ritchie Neville from the band ''Five''. Luckily this is no longer the case, as she is considerably more famous than Ritchie Neville ever was.
