History Characters / IrisWildthyme

* IntercontinuityCrossover: Apart from coming from a series of novels outside of the {{Whoniverse}} altogether, Creator/BigFinish deliberately chooses to ignore the massive ContinuitySnarl that would be caused by her appearances in the novels, the comics ''and'' the audios as though they were all the same timeline. (Episodes starring other companions with similar problems, like Frobisher and Benny, tend to be marked "Side Step" by Creator/BigFinish for this reason. [[BreakingTheFourthWall Which Iris comments on]].) Her unexplained appearances in all of the above are simply considered part of her charm.

* MysteriousPast: May be a FactionParadox creation. May be from beyond the FourthWall. May be an aspect of the Doctor in some way. May just be mental.

** At one point Iris became a member of the Sisterhood of Karn, and one of her stories outright stated (Though still not confirmed as canon) that in the Fourth Doctor Episode "The Brain of Morbius" she was one of the members who was chanting "Death"

'''WARNING! THERE MAY BE UNMARKED SPOILERS!'''

Supposedly another renegade Time Lord, although she's more of a constantly changing canon wildcard: a FourthWallObserver who dashes in and out of plotlines with little regard for the laws of time and space. Her TARDIS looks like a red double-decker London bus, and she has a habit of claiming that many of the Doctor's escapades were really hers. She originated in a series of wildly unrelated novels and immigrated into the ''Doctor Who'' novels a few years later. In Creator/BigFinish, she played a key role in the [[TrilogyCreep four-part]] [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoSpecialsExcelisDawns Excelis trilogy]], met up with Six in the main range, had adventures with BerniceSummerfield (as well as [[TalkingToHimself with Jo Grant]]), and eventually got her own proper Creator/BigFinish spinoff series.

Characters appearing in Franchise/IrisWildthyme stories, occasionally -- but not always -- taking place in DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse continuities, but never in the main {{Whoniverse}} continuity. For references to ''DoctorWho'', see also [[Characters/DoctorWho the Doctor Who characters pages]].

* ShooOutTheNewGuy: In-universe example. One of Iris's future incarnations starred in a successful television series as well as several films. Panda only appeared in the pilot episode of the series before he was replaced by a kangaroo named Hoppy.

* [[YouLookFamiliar You Sound Familiar]] -- She's voiced in audios by Creator/KatyManning, who played Jo Grant in the TV series, albeit 35 years of age and heavy smoking later. Her character is ''nothing'' like Jo's though. HilarityEnsues in the BigFinish audio episode [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoCCS5E3FindAndReplace "Find And Replace"]], when the two characters team up.

Recaps of Iris' audio adventures can be found on the [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho Big Finish recaps page]]; recaps of her written adventures with the Eighth Doctor can be found on the [[Recap/EighthDoctorAdventures Eighth Doctor Adventures]] page.

Iris' TARDIS -- a beaten-down, cluttered double-decker no. 22 to Putney Common. She's smaller on the inside.

* ShooOutTheNewGuy: In-universe example. One of Iris' future incarnations starred in a successful television series as well as several films. Panda only appeared in the pilot episode of the series before he was replaced by a kangaroo named Hoppy.

* LadyInRed: With leopard print.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Her first three regenerations looked strikingly like Edith Sitwell, Shirley Bassey and Beryl Reid, respectively. (Three celebrities who also happened to look quite a bit like DistaffCounterpart versions of WilliamHartnell, PatrickTroughton and JonPertwee.) A later incarnation looks exactly like Creator/JaneFonda.

* ShapeshifterLockMode: Her chameleon circuit isn't on anyone's list of priorities to fix, considering all the other things that are wrong with her.
