→ Character Name: Romanadvoratrelundar (II)
→ Canon: Doctor Who/Gallifrey audios
→ Canon Point: After Gallifrey season 4
→ Personality: Romana is lauded as one of the finest minds on Gallifrey. Intelligent among geniuses, it also landed her the nickname of 'ice queen'.
This nickname is misleading, however, Romana is someone who always sides with the underdog and while on a one to one basis she's something at sea, she puts both of her hearts into caring for Gallifrey, its people and how they treat the other worlds that Gallifrey needs to survive.
She has a deep-seated sense of justice and holds herself up to the high-standards that she sets for other people. Unfortunately, sometimes neither of them meet her standards. She can be unforgiving of people who fall short, most of all herself.
When she had to destroy the Vampires, she considered herself the Destroyer of Worlds, when she had been given little choice. She also blames herself for the deterioration of Gallifrey's well-being when Pandora emerged and a civil war resulted.
The level of her responsibility is debatable, there is the fact that she didn't back down and advance to the rear when it seemed that Pandora could be prevented from emerging if she had only stepped down from the Presidency. She found it not only an offence to her pride (not so much that she was attached to the position but that she wouldn't be able to handle the threat), but an offence to the Presidency itself, that bowing down to such pressure would set an unfortunate precedent.
Referring back to her pride, she finds it very difficult to rely on the judgement or assistance of others, due to her fear that they will find her unfit for the job. It's a sign of weakness and she herself said 'a president doesn't have friends' despite the fact that both Leela and Braxiatel were there to bat for her. Leela, in particular, took this personally.
Romana has a very scientific view of the world she is in. She excelled in the sciences and so relies on it heavily to the extent she can't really understand Leela, who is essentially the opposite and deeply routed in the spiritual.
As a result, the two haven't always gotten on and it's only because Romana needs her so that they get on at all. They both know the Doctor and so share certain values such as loyalty and a firm moral centre and in a place where either one or the other is in question in whoever they meet, Romana recognises the value of her friendship, even as she says that a president needs to be alone.
→ History: Romana's wiki
→ Abilities: As a Time Lord, she can regenerate, has two hearts, can hold her breath for longer than a human, is an accomplished scientist even for a Gallifreyan, can fly a TARDIS, has diplomatic experience and can absorb Vampire blood and her blood is poisonous to a vampire.
→ Strengths: Romana is a loyal, principled individual, who thinks quickly and is always seeking the most compassionate way out. Extremely intelligence and has a sharp dry humour.
→ Weaknesses: Not great with people who trying to be more than professional. She can come off prickly and finds it difficult not to micro-manage the hell out of everything, which is a problem for the President of an entire planet. She tends to be suspicious that people don't think she's capable because she's young (for a Time Lord).
→ First Person Sample: Well. [And that is a long-suffering but overall positive 'well' for you folks. She has a self-deprecating smile on her face.] Would that I could say that I'm completely and utterly new to finding myself on a world where I'm told I'm not who I say I am, without a way to return home and considered quite mad. [Shrug. What is your life, Romana?] Unfortunately, I'm rather not.
Still, as I am here for the moment, I would like to see if I can't get into what's going on. I was told I'm capable of contacting my fellow... patients... [She's going to humour the doctors by the designation.] on this device, so I might as well introduce myself.
According to my ID... my name is [Game name] but among us 'loonies', you may call me Romanadvoratrelundar, though if you feel as rather cumbersome in a mercy, feel to call me Romana. [She smiles at her own reference.]
→ Third Person Sample: Romana didn't want to be here. Oh, it wasn't so much a point against this place, she'd certainly come to worse places, even including the place she'd just left to be here. They certainly provided all that she needed, their insistence on declaring her to be someone she was not, particularly up to the point of giving her someone who claimed to know her well, notwithstanding.
They certainly hadn't mistreated her, which she, unfortunately, couldn't claim of her previous address, where she was a target for assignation.
The fact remains, that while her coming here wasn't the worst that could have happened to her, she did not want to be here.
She wanted to be on Gallifrey. Someone had to take care of Narvin. ...And Leela. Aside from which, that Gallifrey, previously a slave-owning, violent and corrupt world, unlike her home Gallifrey, had slaves who had been freed. And it was up to her, replacing the local Romana as president, to organise and settle these new citizens into the population, find them jobs, ensure their rights and so forth.
With her gone, that task was left to Narvin. And while she trusted Narvin (who knew she'd be thinking that when she met the irritable CIA agent?), it wasn't exactly a job to which he was suited.
Aside from which, wouldn't he worry? Leela probably would, after a fashion. If she ever found out.
Romana shook her head from her reverie and unlocked the door to 'her' house, bracing herself to face the occupant within. She almost appreciated the thinking behind assigning her someone to literally care for her, certainly it would appeal to her sense of guilt concerning disappointing someone. Almost appreciated it.
'Resented it utterly' would have been more accurate. How responsible are they? Do they know? Were they programmed? Surely if it were that easy, someone would have tried on her. Or at least the humans, lacking as they did the Gallifreyan brain, honed for millennia by Time Lords. So many questions, not enough answers. She fully intended to invert that in due course.
