Characters across the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'''s various comics stories.
=== Destrii (Destriianatos) (Eighth Doctor) ===
Line 11:
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type V. Gets a better as time goes by, roughly a Type III be her final appearence.
* [[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 22:
* {{spoiler|[[Self-Made Orphan]] - Kills her mother. After looking at Destrii's childhood, you can see why.}}
* [[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]]
=== Frobisher (Sixth and Seventh Doctors) ===
Line 39:
=== Kroton (Eighth Doctor) ===
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/Recap/S6
* {{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 51:
[[File:minimajentaicon1_2043.jpg|frame|link=http://www.redscharlach.co.uk/]]
The Tenth Doctor's final ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' companion, joining while the TV series was on sabbatical and leaving (or rather, the Tenth Doctor's DWM adventures ended) right before it returned with "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31
* [[Affably Evil]] (to an extent; she's more ruthless than evil, but she's terribly polite about it)
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]
* [[Anti-Villain]] (see above)
* [[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-Skinned Space Babe]]
Line 77:
=== Isabelle "Izzy" Sinclair (Eighth Doctor) ===

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 In Badass]]: Being turned into a super strong, lightning fast human fish hybrid probably had something to do with it.
