29	----
30	* CombatMedic: She's a qualified nurse and her knowledge sometimes comes in useful.
31	* HeroicSacrifice: Sacrifices her own reputation by claiming to have been part of Albion Defence's plan to fake alien disasters so that they could take UNIT's place.
32	* IChooseToStay: Elects to stay on the planet Nomicae to help with the clean-up procedure after it is devastated by an interstellar war caused by the Doctor's presence on it.
33	* JumpedAtTheCall: It's implied that her whole life has been a string of this, from joining the army, to joining UNIT after being caught up in one of the Auton invasions, to stowing away on the TARDIS.

35
36	[[folder:Gabby]]
37	!!Gabriella "Gabby" Gonzalez (Tenth and [[spoiler:Twelfth]] Doctors)
38	[[quoteright:305:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gabby_32.jpg]]
39
40	A young Latina woman from 2010s Brooklyn, looking for an escape from her family's disdain for her artistic ambitions and determination for her to become a cog in the family business empire.
41	----
42	* TheDeterminator: Qualifies in "The Good Companion", when she [[spoiler:manages to resist torture, mind control, and persuasion from the Time Sentinel's aspects.]]
43	* FutureMeScaresMe: In the potential timeline in which she loses control of her block transfer powers and time sensitivity, and becomes the "Vortex Butterfly", obsessed with the Doctor and parasitising the TARDIS.
44	* TheGift: The second arc strongly suggests that she has some kind of latent mental power, which the Doctor already suspects. [[spoiler:She ends up gaining it by Mr. Ebonite, after he brainwashes her in "Arena of Fear"]].
45	* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: Some stories feature excerpts from her illustrated diary about travelling with the Doctor.
46	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In "Arena of Fear", when Gabby [[spoiler:breaks free from Mr. Ebonite's control]], this is her reaction when she realises that she nearly killed the Doctor and all the other survivors, including her friend Cindy. This causes her to be on the verge of tears. As a bonus, she says the second part of this trope.
47	-->'''Gabby:''' Oh, Doctor... what have I done?\
48	'''The Doctor:''' Nothing that can be undone, I hope.
49	* MyGreatestFailure: Her reaction when she protects herself, the Doctor, and Cindy, but fails to save the innocent bystanders in the club in "Music Man". The Doctor responds with YouDidEverythingYouCould.
50	* PluckyGirl: As usual for companions. She is rebelling against her family's old-country assumptions that she'll knuckle down and serve their collective interests without complaint.
51	[[/folder]]
52
53	[[folder:Cindy]]
54	!!Cindy Wu (Tenth Doctor)
55	[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cindywu.jpg]]
56
57	Gabby's best friend.
58	----
59	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She spends much of her early journeys in Year Two worried that the Doctor likes Gabby better than her. The Tenth Doctor just seems to have that effect on people...
60	* ArtShift: Her facial expressions in "The Wishing Well Witch" are depicted in a manner that is much more distorted and cartoony than the comic's usual style.
61	* ButtMonkey: Spends what was probably weeks wandering with her memory wiped in "Arena of Fear", has her TARDIS bedroom accidentally deleted by the Doctor with all her stuff in it in a short set immediately after that story, gets mind-sucked by an EldritchAbomination in "The Wishing Well Witch", and then gets trapped in a hostile pocket universe within the TARDIS in "The Infinite Corridor". It degenerates into TheWoobie when she [[spoiler:loses a recent boyfriend]] during the Jazz Age, in "Music Man".
62	* CowardlyLion: She's braver than she gives herself credit for.
63	* MyOwnGrampa: [[spoiler:It is strongly implied that she is descended from one of the clones of her that the Para-Nestene created in ancient China.]]
64	* RefusedTheCall: But then [[JumpedAtTheCall changed her mind]]! She first accompanied the Doctor and Gabby in issue 11, but joined full time at the beginning of Year Two, having been left behind at the end of Year One.
65	[[/folder]]

67	[[folder:Alice]]
68	!!Alice Obiefune (Eleventh Doctor)
69	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doctor_who2.jpg]]
70
71	A working-class black woman near 40 from 2010s London, who encountered the Doctor while grieving for her mother and depressed by losing her job and home to Tories. She starts travelling with the Doctor for a chance to see the universe and do good, but that doesn't mean that she idealises him.
72	----
73	* ElCidPloy: She impersonates the Doctor after [[spoiler:he's taken over by [=ServeYouInc=] and becomes the Chief Executive]].
74	* InsanityImmunity: Her deadened emotions because of her grief mean that she can visit and return alive from a dimension so awe-inspiringly beautiful that everyone else who visited [[BrownNote just sat and looked at it until their oxygen ran out]].
75	* ItsPersonal: Her feelings towards the Talent Scout after [[spoiler:he impersonates a resurrected version of her mother]].
76	* TimeyWimeyBall: At one point she and the Doctor are caught up in a crisis that requires Alice to [[spoiler:go back into the Time War and help the War Doctor set up the events that will cause that crisis in the future]].
77	* UnfazedEveryman: While she isn't dead to wonder, she takes a very pragmatic, everyday approach to the places and people she encounters, and doesn't let the Doctor's powers stop her dressing him down frequently.
78	[[/folder]]
79
80	[[folder:Jones]]
81	!!John Jones (Eleventh Doctor)
82	[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/john_jones_0.jpg]]
83
84	An incredibly dull would-be rock singer from the early 1960s.
85	----
86	* AlliterativeName:'''J'''ohn '''J'''ones.
87	* FeetOfClay: He was Ava's favourite pop star of all time, so Alice asks the Doctor to take her to see his first gig, and they are shocked to see how crap he was.
88	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He is basically Music/DavidBowie, to the point that almost all his dialogue is made up of references to Bowie lyrics.
89	* TheNondescript: Despite wanting to be a star, he is initially so utterly dull and unnoticeable that he walks into the TARDIS and follows the Doctor and Alice to 1931 without them noticing him. This changes once he becomes aware of his chameleon powers.
90	* PosthumousCharacter: In Year Three, in which the Doctor and Alice attend his funeral and later encounter him, due to time travel.
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:ARC]]
94	!!ARC (Eleventh Doctor)
95	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc_whodunnit.jpg]]
96
97	A shapechanging robot AI whom the Doctor rescued from evil vivisectors, and seems to have an enigmatic connection to all the series' plot arcs.
98	----
99	* BecomeARealBoy: The Doctor is attempting to teach him to be a functional sentient being.
100	* ObliviouslyEvil: When the Doctor first met him, he was absorbing peoples' minds because it was the only way he knew to interact with them. Fortunately it was reversible.
101	* ShapeshifterModeLock: [[spoiler:Encountering the fake Ava mysteriously traumatises him so much that he is reduced to a sphere that babbles VaguenessIsComing warnings.]]
102	* {{Shapeshifting}}: His abilities are almost unlimited.
103	* StarfishCharacter: [[spoiler:He is actually the "brain" of a much larger entity, who split off from it when it was tortured by [=ServeYouInc=].]]
104	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He has a strong overtone of "Kamelion Done Right".
105	[[/folder]]

107	[[folder:Abslom Daak]]
108	!!Abslom Daak (Seventh, War and Eleventh Doctors)

110
111	An ultraviolent bounty hunter and old acquaintance of the Doctor, who previously appeared in the ''Doctor Who Magazine'' comic strip. See [[Characters/DoctorWhoMagazine the strip's character page]] for all trope examples.

117
118	Another new companion in Year Two, she fought alongside the War Doctor in the Time War. And that's all that she or anyone else seems to know.
119	----
120	* ActionGirl: She's a soldier.
121	* AmnesiacHero: She can remember hardly anything of her own past except that she was the War Doctor's companion and ally. She is still under the impression that she's a teenager, despite appearing to be in her seventies or so. [[spoiler:That is because she is actually a Volatix Cabal (aka Dalek) agent,]].
122	* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:She's actually a Volatix Cabal member, and the real BigBad of the whole Year Two.]]
123	* BloodKnight: She very firmly believes that WarIsGlorious.
124	* BodyHorror: When she starts transforming into a [[spoiler:Dalek agent]], it's ''not'' [[https://abload.de/img/253jph.jpg pretty]].
125	* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:River Song finishes her off with this in the ''Year Two'' finale, "Physician, Heal Thyself"]].
126	* ButchLesbian: In the [[CastFullOfGay tradition]] of comics-medium original female companions, she's a tough warrior woman who quickly plants a very non-chaste kiss on Alice in a "glad to be alive" moment.
127	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Her memory issues are quite heartbreakingly reminiscent of real-world dementia.
128	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:After she [[{{Flatline}} flatlines]] in "First Rule", she comes back to life in "Fast Asleep", due to her actually being a Dalek hybrid agent, and shoots Abslom Daak in the chest.]]
129	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:It appears that the Squire gets the upper hand in '''finally''' killing The Then And The Now in "Running to Stand Still". Until it uses one of its tendrils to fatally wound her]].
130	* NeverMessWithGranny: She's quite elderly but still pretty dangerous.
131	[[/folder]]
132
133	[[folder:The Sapling]]
134	!!The Sapling (Eleventh Doctor)
135	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_sapling.jpg]]
136
137	Joining the Doctor and Alice in Year Three, he's "a genocide child with a Time Lord's memories".
138	* AmbiguousGender: He puzzles over his gender for a while before settling on "male".
139	* MentalFusion: His personality is a combination of the Doctor's and Alice's.
140	* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: He's a member of a plant species called "the Planting", who invade planets and replace [[HostileTerraforming their entire biosphere]]. However, due to receiving the memories of the Doctor and Alice, he's a good guy.
141	* RubberMan: He can distort his body to achieve things in emergency.
142	[[/folder]]
143
144	[[folder:Hattie Munroe]]
145	!!Hattie Munroe (Twelfth Doctor)
146	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hattie_beneath_the_waves.jpg]]
147
148	Introduced in Year Two, this punk rock musician of the 41st century is a human resident of the gigantic space station/colony known as The Twist. As a huge fan of her group Space Pirates the Twelfth Doctor, traveling alone post-"Hell Bent", attends one of their early concerts there only for him ''and'' her to be swept up in a crisis involving an accused murderer. They end up working together to reveal the truth about a WainscotSociety that exists alongside the human one. With her favourite vintage bass destroyed in the course of the adventure, the Doctor takes her along with him for a follow-up adventure by way of getting it replaced. At the top of Year Three, they meet again for another adventure, years later from her perspective and after her band has found fame and fortune.
149	----
150	* CelebrityIsOverrated: One reason she jumps at the chance to travel with the Doctor again is to get away from the nosy press that hounds her when she's not on stage.
151	* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Especially as drawn by Rachael Stott in her second story, she bears a strong resemblance to a younger and punker Gail Ann Dorsey, a real-world black woman bassist best known for her work with Music/DavidBowie from the late 1990s onwards.
152	* DarkerAndEdgier: Downplayed. Much the way the Twelfth Doctor is this trope to most of his previous incarnations, she's tougher than usual for a companion when introduced and comes from a rougher milieu. She's certainly a long way from Clara Oswald, her predecessor in the TARDIS. But she's as good-hearted and brave as any companion's ever been, and notably seems to have an easier time warming up to Twelve than most people he encounters (though part of this might just be his CharacterDevelopment since his debut).
153	* EightiesHair: She has a close-cropped mohawk; justified as she's part of a group that is reviving a "retro" musical style and look.
154	* FashionableAsymmetry: Her first costume includes a pair of jeans with one leg cut off to booty-shorts length and the other left full-length.
155	* FemaleRockersPlayBass: She is the only woman in her group and plays the bass.
156	* InThePastEveryoneWillBeFamous: The Doctor and Hattie meet early on in her career; the Doctor knows that she and her group will eventually be hugely successful and occasionally lets hints about this slip by mistake.
157	* JumpedAtTheCall: She doesn't hesitate to take up the Doctor's offer of a trip in the TARDIS, suspecting that his existence must be a lonely one. When he returns in "Beneath the Waves", she again jumps at the call (partially because she needs a break from the downsides of fame and fortune).
158	* PunkRock: She and her group are part of a revivalist punk rock movement of the far future.
159	* TheQuincyPunk: Subverted -- she may have a mohawk, tattoos, and ragged clothing, and can hold her own in a scrum, but she is also kind, intelligent, quick-witted, and a genuinely gifted musician.

171	* BigNo

174	* DefrostingIceQueen: Dorothy and Cindy persuade him out of his original arrogance and to consider less advanced sentients people.
175	* EnemyWithin: Dorothy accidentally infected him with a mental clone of Sutekh's personality that Sutekh implanted in the Hand.
176	* GrandTheftMe: A portion of Sutekh that was hidden in his Hand hijacks Anubis's body.
177	* ObliviouslyEvil: Anubis at first just wants to ascend, and refuses to accept that his device is faulty and will destroy him and the entire multiverse.
178	* PerceptionFilter: In "Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth", he causes the locals in ancient China to see him as human, and all of Team TARDIS as being in contemporary dress.
179	* RaiseHimRightThisTime: Anubis ends up regressed to childhood and amnesiac after Sutekh is driven out of his body.
180	* VillainousLineage: Anubis is initially persuaded not to destroy the multiverse by appealing to his determination not to be evil like his father.

214	* BeardOfEvil: The standard villainous goatee.
215	* ComicBookFantasyCasting: His older version is recognisably based on Creator/BryanCranston.

229	* ImplacableMan: There is nothing that can obstruct them from pursuing the Doctor.

244
245	A particularly powerful member of the Silence, whose powers drove him insane.
246	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: His memory erasing powers were so powerful that even the other Silents were unable to remember him, driving him mad due to the isolation.
247	* CreateYourOwnVillain: He initially planned to steal only the Doctor's and Alice's memories. However, the experience of having the Doctor's memories drove him insane.
248	* MeaningfulRename: Desperately wants to be seen and remembered so he's a scream instead of silence.
249	* PuffOfLogic: [[spoiler:His eventual fate, after the Doctor and Alice trick him into duplicating himself many times in a mental environment, and then all of them into turning their back on each other, causing them to forgot and erase themselves.]]

251	* TransferableMemory: He hopes to steal the memories of every sentient being in the universe.
