History Characters / DoctorWhoNewSeriesCompanions

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: As a youtube comment put it,

** In her defence,though,the Doctor never once told her that he had previous companions and was more interested in catching up with Sarah Jane.
** However,by the end of "School Reunion" the tension between Sarah Jane and Rose has disappeared and the two are delighted to see each other again in "Journey's End".

* DoubleStandard: She flirts with others, Jack's psychic paper reveals she considers herself available despite having a boyfriend, yet when Micky starts seeing someone else she starts complaining.

* BerserkButton: ''Never'' mess with Amy or his baby And don't shoot his dad, either.

** Rory also ends up using a mop as an inprovised weapon in many episodes, including "Vampires in Venice", "Night Terrors" and "The God Complex".

* BlackAndNerdy: Medical student, natch. She also saves the world by quoting ''HarryPotter''.

* GenderBlenderName: "Oswin", is traditionally a male name.

* OopNorth: Speaks with Jenna-Louise Coleman's natural Lancastershire accent.

!!Clara Oswin Oswald (Eleventh [[spoiler:and Twelfth]] Doctor)

A young hacker first seen in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E01AsylumOfTheDaleks Asylum of the Daleks]]", who saved the Doctor's life in the far future. Also a young barmaid and governess the Doctor met in 1892, in "[[Recap/DoctorWho2012CSTheSnowmen The Snowmen]]". Also a young nanny the Doctor met in London, 2013, who didn't know the first thing about hacking or time travel... the Doctor takes the latter with him as his companion, and sets out to discover how "The Impossible Girl" could have lived three completely different lives.

* {{Badass}}: [[spoiler: When you shatter yourself across the Doctor's timestream in order to foil the Great Intelligence, who is killing the Doctor in every adventure he's ever had, and obviously manage to beat it ''every single time'']]... Yeah, Clara definitely qualifies under this trope as of ''The Name Of The Doctor'' if she didn't already.

* DistaffCounterpart: To the Doctor himself. (In particular, she seems to have borrowed some hairstyling tips from Eight.)
** In a bit of FridgeBrilliance and possibly even some ActorAllsion, in interviews she has been noted to mention that her favorite Doctor was the Third...just as much as Eleven himself seems to channel his Second persona, complete with all the bickering the original two displayed in their legendary team up.

!!Clara Oswin Oswald (Eleventh Doctor)

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Despite often being treated as a perfect companion she can be very unpleasant. She abandoned her boyfriend Mickey for a year (accidentally making him a murder suspect), kept disappearing for months at a time, and got mad when she heard that he was dating someone else. This quote from when she first leaves with the Doctor illustrates this:

Rose: Thanks.

Mickey: For what?

Rose: Exactly.

* BigDamnKiss: The third person (after Grace and Jack) to have a snog with the Doctor in the TV series canon.

* BadassAbnormal: [[spoiler: Temporarily, as the Doctor Donna. This also protects her from the Master's scheme in "The End of Time".]]

* StrangeGirl: Victorian-era Clara jumps at the chance to hang around a WeirdnessMagnet like the Doctor. [[spoiler it's what she was born for]]. Modern day Clara, by contrast, is a perfectly normal girl.

As with all ''DoctorWho'' characters, they appear not only in the canon {{Whoniverse}}, but also in the less-canon DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse branches.

* [[spoiler:BornAgainImmortality: Keeps showing up in different time periods, even after getting killed twice, and in each case appears to be native to that time and place.]]

* StrangeGirl: Victorian-era Clara jumps at the chance to hang around a WeirdnessMagnet like the Doctor. (Of course she does -- [[spoiler: it's what she was born for.]]) Modern day Clara, by contrast, is a perfectly normal girl.

* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Actor Creator/FreemaAgyeman first appeared as a Torchwood London employee, a character later retconned into Martha's identical cousin Adeola.

* AscendedExtra: Originally intended to be named "Stan" for [[Recap/DoctorWho2007CSVoyageOfTheDamned "Voyage of the Damned"]] and never show up again. This changed when the actor playing Donna's father passed away and Wilf was written in as Donna's grandfather.

* YouLookFamiliar: Cribbins co-starred in ''DaleksInvasionEarth2150AD'' in 1966 as well as in the BigFinish episode [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDAS1E3HorrorOfGlamRock "Horror Of Glam Rock"]].

* EightiesHair: A whole lot of it. She's ''delighted'' when she [[spoiler:regenerates into her Alex Kingston body]] and sees it. Strax, who doesn't really understand mammals, calls her the one with the "gigantic head".
