▲=== All Companions ===
* [[Action Survivor]]: Bare minimum, just surviving at least one adventure with the Doctor promotes them to this.
* [[Badass]]: Most, if not all companions will [[Took a Level In Badass|become some version of this]] if they aren't already.
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: Every companion becomes a low level version of this, since traveling in the TARDIS exposes them to time radiation, which gives all affected a limited immunity (of varying strength depending on companion) against time and space anomalies.
* [[Badass Normal]]: The [[Badass]] companions usually are of this variety, unless they were already some other form of [[Badass]] already.
* [[Badass Unintentional]]: Most companions are relatively normal until the Doctor walks into their lives. Through their adventures, though, they're given the chance to regularly thwart the horrors of the universe and save lives and planets.
* [[Damsel in Distress]] / [[
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]

One of the centrepieces of ''[[
* [[Adorkable]]: Especially {{spoiler|when she's in Idris' body.}}
Line 44 ⟶ 39:
* [[Badass]]: Burning an [[Eldritch Abomination]] to death inside your body will earn you this status.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: As the House Entity learnt, you do ''not'' want to make her angry.
* [[Bigger
* [[Bond Creatures|Bond Creature]]: It has a strong mental connection with the Doctor. The translation field stops working when he's comatose in "[[Doctor Who
* [[The Bridge]]: The console room.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Even if one takes the whole "multidimensional [[Starfish Alien]]" thing into account, she still comes across as this.
Line 51 ⟶ 46:
* [[Cool Ship]]
* [[Expanded Universe]]: Aside from examples mentioned elsewhere in this list, one short story, "The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe", has the TARDIS, in a fit of jealousy, ''force'' Romana into regenerating after impersonating her (the implication being the version of Romana seen in "Destiny of the Daleks" is actually a manifestation of the TARDIS).
* [[Failsafe Failure]]: Programmed to seek out the nearest planet if left adrift, as Ten lamented while stuck behind a porthole window. Programmed to find the nearest safe place if otherwise compromised, as Eleven realised with horror when the TARDIS appeared inside the TARDIS. Programmed to teleport anyone who's present in a room into the control hub when the room is deleted, as Eleven cleverly weaponised.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Discussed in-universe — the TARDIS apparently ''really'' doesn't like Jack Harkness. He's a ''fact'' of the timeline, and that's ''never'' supposed to happen.
** She's gotten over it in "Journey's End", though.
* [[For Doom the Bell Tolls]]: The Cloister Bell, the TARDIS' [[Red Alert]] signal.
* [[Ghost in
* [[Good Colors, Evil Colors]]: The Master jimmies the TARDIS into a "Paradox Machine," giving it an infernal red glow.
* [[Happily Married]]: To the Doctor, [[Doctor Who
* [[I Call It "Vera"]]:{{verify|reason=This is a weapon trope - is it the right one?}} {{spoiler|The TARDIS likes to be called "Sexy Thing", or "Old Girl".}} {{spoiler|[[Inverted Trope|On the other hand,]] she calls the Doctor "her Thief" or "Beautiful Idiot".}}
* [[Iconic Item]]: Of the series as a whole. Thanks to the show (and, admittedly, increases in technology which saw the need for phone boxes decline), the police box outer shell is immediately associated with ''[[
** [[The BBC]] has acquired the legal rights to the image of a British police box, taking them ''away'' from the British police. It's ''that'' iconic.
* {{spoiler|[[Like Mother Like Daughter]]}}: Both the TARDIS and
* [[Living Ship]]
* [[Magic
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]:
* [[New Powers
** Towing Earth required some help from Mr. Smith and K-9 to use the Torchwood facility as a tow hitch, though.
** But one thing it apparently can't do is teleport itself to the Doctor's location (and even then, it did so anyway in ''Revenge of the Cybermen''). Several episodes involve the main characters being separated from the TARDIS.
* [[One-Gender Race]]: Apparently, every TARDIS is female. The TARDIS herself refers to the others as her "Sisters".
* [[Perception Filter]]: [[Trope Namer]], possibly. The perception filter makes anyone who doesn't know what the TARDIS is instinctively ignore it, even in places where a police box would be out of place (which is to say, ''everywhere'' except for the UK from about the 1930s to about the 1970s).
* [[Phone Booth]]: The TARDIS is jammed in this form, though the Doctor has grown to admire its chic.
* [[Robo Ship]]: A very rare ''in-universe'' example.
* [[Sapient Ship]]: Wanted to see the universe, so stole a Time Lord and ran away.
* [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]: A rare case where the viewers ''only'' see it in the "locked" form. The Doctor has long since grown too attached to the police box look to change it. Also, it's harder to misplace the damn thing when it's a big blue box as opposed to something cleverly camouflaged or invisible.
** He tries to fix the chameleon circuit in [[Doctor Who
* [[Ship Tease]]: While she's quite [[Happily Married]] to the Doctor, the TARDIS seems to fancy {{spoiler|Rory}}, calling him "the pretty one".
* [[Spaceship Girl]]: In "The Doctor's Wife", and elsewhere in the EU.
Line 80 ⟶ 75:
* [[Team Mum]]
* [[This Is My Human|This Is My Time Lord]]
* [[Time Abyss]]: The TARDIS matrix exists in all points of time and space. Simultaneously.
* [[True
