The Eighth Doctor's final ''[[
* [[Abusive Parents]] - Tortured by her mother, both physically and emotionally.
* [[Aliens Steal Cable]] - How she became a fangirl.
* [[Amazonian Beauty]]
* [[Anti
* [[Ascended Fanboy]] - Interestingly one of ''two'' the Doctor knew at the same time. (The narrative uses this thematically.) Destrii fangirls 1960s and 70s sci-fi and westerns.
* [[Body Snatcher]] - Destrii tricks the Doctor's companion Izzy into swapping bodies with her to avoid capture by her people. {{spoiler|It gets reversed.}}
* [[Dark Action Girl]]
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]] - {{spoiler|Her final and very ugly break with her uncle Jodafra comes when she discovers that he's planning to feed a bunch of little kids to a monster in exchange for power - hurting children hits rather too close to home for her.}}
Line 19:
* [[Only One Name]]
* [[Rebellious Princess]]
* [[Royally Screwed
* {{spoiler|[[Self
* [[Totally Radical]]: Late 1990's-early 2000's variety, at least in her earlier appearances. Justified as she was raised on a selected batch of pop culture by her manipulative uncle.
* [[Wild Card]]

A shapeshifter who prefers to take the form of a penguin. Has a daytime job as a private eye. Also appears in the [[Big Finish Doctor Who]] audios, where he is voiced by Robert Jezek. Not to be confused with the character from ''[[
* [[The Bartender]] - Sometime after parting ways with the Doctor, Frobisher retires from adventure and settles into this role at his bar, "Bish's."
* [[Breakout Character]]: Originally a comic book creation, Frobisher has had multiple feature length appearences in both Big Finish Audios and the novels.
* [[Comic Book Fantasy Casting]] - Frobisher's bartender look is modeled on James Gandolfini.
* [[
* [[
* [[Jerk
* [[The Lancer]]: His ego and arrogance contrast to the Doctor, which is no small feat given that this is Colin Baker we're talking about. Was specifically used in "The Holy Terror" as Rob Shearman felt he could meddle with the planet's culture in ways the Doctor would never even consider.
* [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]] - Frobisher got stuck in penguin form for a while. Even after it got sorted out, it's still his preferred form.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]
A Cyberman who spontaneously regained the capacity to experience emotion, but not his memories of his previous life. Originally introduced in solo back-up strips in the Eighties, in which he wandered the universe trying to do good despite everybody's terror of him. Later reintroduced during the Eighth Doctor comics, in which he became a full-scale companion and a major player in one of the comics' arcs. (No connection to the [[Doctor Who
* {{spoiler|[[A God Is You]]}}
* [[Ascended Extra]] only had a handful of brief appearances in Doctor Who Weekly and was then absent from the comic strip for quite a while, before becoming the Doctor's new companion
* [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]]
* [[Quest for Identity]]
Line 48:
* [[Walking the Earth]]

The Tenth Doctor's final ''[[
* [[Affably Evil]] (to an extent; she's more ruthless than evil, but she's terribly polite about it)
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]
* [[Anti
* [[Bi the Way]] Has a thing for both the Doctor and her former cellmate Zed, who she ends up with after the events of the Crimson Hand story arc
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]
* [[Green
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Revolving Door]]}}
* [[Laser
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]
First non-white companion, albeit not on television.
Line 70:
* [[Happy Ending]]: Sharon's last story is a good example of this with her choosing to remain on Unicepter IV to be with the man she had fallen in love with.
* [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary Secondary School Student]]: That is until she meets the Doctor.
* [[Plot
* [[She
* [[Token Minority]]
* [[What Happened to

Also appeared in a [[Big Finish Doctor Who]] audio, voiced by Jemima Rooper. A young "fan-geekoid" (as Destrii puts it) usually thought of as the first gay female companion, though [[Word of Gay]] (semi-official in the final instance) had already established the Doctor's previous companions Ace, [[Bernice Summerfield]] and Sam Jones as bi.
* <s>[[Ascended Fanboy]]</s> [[Ascended Fanboy|Ascended Fangirl]]
* [[Action Girl]]: Very much so after the body swap, as she has no qualms going hand to hand with a demonic super strong energy creatue. Was never one to avoid danger before, though she was more of a [[Plucky Girl]] to begin with.
* [[Adrenaline Makeover]]: Started off as a shy Geek who used travelling with the Doctor as a way of dodging her adoption issues, with kind of androgynous, frumpy features and clothing. Later morphed into a confidant Amazonian Action Girl (Wether a fish or a mammal) who had no qualms punching monsters.
* [[Amazonian Beauty]]: Possibly the most bizarre example of this trope you can find. Had a normal physique for most of her stint, but when Destrii is discovered to be still alive and using her body it turns out that she's been subjecting it to a serious exercise regime.
* [[Changeling Fantasy]]: Subverted. Izzy fantasises about having special parents, but eventually realises how much she cares about her adopted parents and goes home to them. Her real parents' identities are never revealed.
* [[Comic Book Fantasy Casting]]: according to [[Word of God]], based initially on Louise Wener of [[Britpop]] band Sleeper, and later on the actor Luisa Bradshaw-White.
* [[Gayngst]]: To a limited degree.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]!: In a moment of self pity she wangsts to real life artist Frida Kahlo about the loss of her old body, telling her she has no chance of understanding what she's going through. However, having been the victim of crippling physical injuries herself, Frida angrily tells her that despite the trauma she didn't let her expreiences break her and that she's not the only person to suffer such a trauma.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]
* [[
* [[Tomboyish Name]]
* [[Took a Level
[[File:minifeyicon1_1518.jpg|frame|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20130524165027/http://www.redscharlach.co.uk/]]
A kind of on- and off-again companion to the Eighth Doctor who he had allied with previously. A secret agent for the British Crown in the 1930s and 40s.
Line 105:
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]] - Unintentionally. [[Crazy Prepared]] baddies called The Threshold had given her an implant without her knowledge, so that she could act as a spy for them.}}
A creation of the Matrix Lords of Gallifrey, those Time Lords whose minds survive in the Matrix, serving as their agent in the wider universe. A sometime ally of the Fifth and Eighth Doctors, who through his adventures with them discovers he's slowly developing free will. Appears in the [[Big Finish Doctor Who]] audios, where he's voiced by Mark Donovan.
Line 116:
* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]: Able to travel anywhere in time and space.
[[File:miniabslomdaak1_7878.jpg|frame|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20130524165027/http://www.redscharlach.co.uk/]]
Abslom Daak was a thuggish Human criminal from the mid-26th century. Eventually he was convicted and given the choice between vaporisation or exile as a [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Anti
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Occasionally, but always if you're a Dalek.
* [[Badass]].
Line 126:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "I'm gonna kill every last stinking Dalek in the galaxy!"
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: Out of a selection of many weapons, his choice was (and continued to be) a chainsword.
{{quote|

* [[Cool Starship]]: The Kill-Wagon.
* [[Deconstruction]]: Of [[Anti

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|He got better.}}
* [[Ineffectual Loner]]: Partially.
* [[Kill
* [[Nakama]]: The Star Tigers crew - the Draconian Prince Salander, Vol Mercurius and an Ice Warrior, Harma, who came to travel the galaxy with Daak in a small ship known as the Kill-Wagon.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Against the Dalek Empire.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: His personal chainsword.
The version of the Master who appeared in a lengthy plot arc in the Eighth Doctor Comics. This Master was one of the most coolly manipulative and patient versions seen so far, simultaneously juggling a grand plan to achieve divine power with a pettier plan to morally humiliate the Doctor and turn his favourite species into the kind of culture he's spent his life fighting.
Line 148:
* [[First Law of Resurrection]]: what his explanation of how he survived the end of the TV Movie boils down to.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Not So Different]]: his plan revolves around destroying the Doctor's moral authority by setting up situations where [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|his flaws will damage people he interacts with]].
* [[Path of Inspiration]]: sets one up to corrupt the human race into [[Suicide Attack]]-ing [[Omnicidal Maniac
* [[Race Lift]]: this version of the Master happens to be black in human ethnic terms, although little is made of it.
An adorably cute alien fluffball who is actually a murderously psychotic [[Galactic Conqueror]]. Introduced in the Fourth Doctor comic story "The Star Beast", a parody of cute [[Alien Among Us]] narratives in which he crashed on contemporary Earth while fleeing justice and tried to pull a [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]. Made several later appearances as a comedy villain.
* [[Alien Among Us]]
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Cut His Heart Out
* [[Killer Rabbit]]
* [[Laughably Evil]]
