Clara Oswald (born 23 November 1986) was a companion of the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors.

According to the Doctor, she was "impossible" due to their meetings previously in his personal timeline, with two such encounters where he saw her die. Though assured by the empathic psychic Emma Grayling and the TARDIS scanner that Clara was just an "ordinary girl", the Doctor couldn't believe that to be true and thought her to be "the only mystery worth solving".

While a physically ordinary human woman from the 21st century, Clara chose to enter the Doctor's timeline in his tomb on Trenzalore in order to try to reverse the damage done to his timeline by the Great Intelligence. This caused the time winds to shatter her into millions of what River Song referred to as "echoes" or "splinters" that were dispersed throughout his personal timeline. These echoes corrected the damage caused by the Great Intelligence but were not the original Clara. She was trapped in the Doctor's timeline but rescued shortly thereafter.

After Trenzalore, Clara became a school teacher, though she still travelled with the Doctor, meeting the Doctor's War and Tenth incarnations. She was with him when he regenerated into his twelfth incarnation, having encouraged the Time Lords to grant him a new regenerative cycle and continued to travel with him thereafter.

Clara later met and fell in love with fellow schoolteacher Danny Pink. However, she lost him to a car accident despite her best efforts to bring him back.

After the loss of Danny, Clara became less attached to Earth and began to copy the heroic aspects of the Doctor's persona; this caused her to become increasingly reckless, as she believed he would always have a plan.

Clara's heroics eventually cost her greatly; trying to prove Rigsy's innocence of a false murder, she took a Chronolock, which killed the one branded, from him. She was later extracted from her own fixed point of death in her timeline by the Doctor using an extraction chamber on Gallifrey, losing all physical qualities such as breathing, a pulse and even ageing, being stuck "between one heartbeat and the next".

The Doctor then stole a TARDIS and escaped Gallifrey, travelling to the end of the universe in an attempt to fully bring Clara back, proving to be ineffective, however. The Doctor planned to wipe Clara's memory of ever travelling with him, yet instead, in a turn of events, the Doctor lost his memories of Clara. She then left in the other TARDIS, planning to use it to travel "the long way round" back to Gallifrey, with Ashildr for company.

Biography Edit

Before the Doctor Edit

Childhood Edit

Clara Oswald was born on 23 November 1986 (TV: Death in Heaven) in the Lancashire town of Blackpool. (TV: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS, Robot of Sherwood) She first met the Eleventh Doctor as a young child when she accidentally kicked a football at his head at a park. (TV: The Rings of Akhaten) She loved to attend Sunday school, taught by a "nice lady teacher" in a small church room that smelt of oak polish and had felt-tip colouring on the walls. (PROSE: Into the Nowhere)

As a child, she liked travel books and science kits but did not like hair products. (TV: Last Christmas) She was taught about Amy Johnson in school, who became her role model throughout her childhood. (COMIC: A Wing and a Prayer) Clara visited many National Trust houses in her childhood. (AUDIO: The House of Winter) When she was young, she was once stung by a wasp. (PROSE: The Crawling Terror)

When Clara was nine years old, her father, Dave, took her on a trip to a tower block near Southport with a restaurant at the top. The restaurant had a solid clear glass floor, but Dave assured her it was "safe as houses". Two lads inside the restaurant started jumping up and down on the glass, shouting they were going to break it in "language Dad later said did not suit young ladies". Since then, Clara was not very keen on heights, or indeed glass floors. (PROSE: Normality)

Some time afterwards, Clara met the Eleventh Doctor again, when an earlier version of him was sad about not being able to locate Clara. He did not realise her identity, nor did she know that she herself was the "friend" for whom he was looking. She thought the idea of him finding his friend by destiny was "rubbish". As a child, she claimed she was always losing things: her "best pencil", her school bag, her gran and her "mojo", which she managed to get back. Whenever she would lose something, she'd go to a quiet place, close her eyes, then would find where she'd put it. The Doctor considered that he might follow her advice on this to find his friend, an idea she thought made sense.

Clara's mother, Ellie, told her that she "shouldn't talk to strange men", but she spoke to the Doctor regardless. (WC: The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel) Her worst fear as a child was getting lost. While on a bank holiday visit to Blackpool beach, her nightmares came true, but her mother eventually found her. Ellie comforted her by saying that she would always find her, wherever she was. (TV: The Rings of Akhaten) She passed her driving test on her first try. (COMIC: The Fractures)

Clara was left devastated on 5 March 2005 when her mother died. Clara's father, Dave Oswald, comforted her at her funeral, and the Doctor watched in silence from a distance. (TV: The Rings of Akhaten)

Clara was among the billions of people across the world who had briefly become a part of the Master Race. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor)

Becoming a nanny Edit

She wanted to travel after university, but before she left, she spent a week with a family friend in Chiswick, London to nanny for her children, Artie and Angie Maitland. Mrs Maitland died that week and, as the Doctor later put it, Clara felt duty-bound to look after the children. (TV: The Bells of Saint John)

Meeting the Doctor Edit

Clara had a poor knowledge of the internet. While attempting to log on to the Wi-Fi in the Maitland home, she used a mnemonic device, "Run you clever boy and remember", to help her recall the Wi-Fi password, rycbar123.[1] She phoned a number for technical support, given to her by a woman in a shop, that reached the Eleventh Doctor in the year 1207. Perplexed, she believed that he was on a helpline, and so she requested that he go to her to help her figure out how to use the Internet.

He attempted to assist her, but Clara clicked on the Wi-Fi connection being used by the Great Intelligence to harvest human minds. A Spoonhead, adopting the guise of a character from Summer Falls, a novel she read, uploaded her to the data cloud. The process was incomplete when the Doctor found her, allowing him to restore her. Clara found that her technical knowledge was greatly enhanced as a result of this.

She used this new skill to hack the Great Intelligence's operatives, choosing "Oswin" as a username. She discovered their location in the Shard, before she was downloaded again by a Spoonhead, this time successfully. The Doctor had the entire cloud downloaded back where possible, restoring Clara once more. He invited her to come with him and she told him to return the next day and ask again. (TV: The Bells of Saint John)

Travels with the Eleventh Doctor Edit

When the Doctor returned for her, Clara was waiting eagerly. She rushed to meet the TARDIS outside the moment the Doctor knocked on her door. When the Doctor asked her where she wanted to go, she was stuck at first. She quickly recovered, replying "somewhere awesome". He took her to the Festival of Offerings near Akhaten.

There, they explored the markets and watched the festival. When Merry Gejelh, whom Clara had comforted and encouraged to sing the Long Song at the Festival, was taken by the Mummy, Clara and the Doctor saved her. In doing so, Clara had to give up her mother's ring, which had extreme sentimental value to her. To destroy Akhaten, she was forced to sacrifice something even more precious: the leaf that brought her parents together, "the most important leaf in human history". After saving everyone on the planet, they thanked her by returning her ring. After the trip, the Doctor dropped her back off at her house in London, which she remarked looked different. (TV: The Rings of Akhaten)

The Doctor later took her on another trip, but instead of landing in Las Vegas as planned, they landed on the Firebird, a Soviet submarine at the North Pole in 1983. While the Doctor brought the sinking submarine to safety, the TARDIS activated its Hostile Action Displacement System and it dematerialised, leaving the Doctor and Clara on the submarine.

They quickly found that the Ice Warrior Grand Marshall, Skaldak, had been brought on board. The Doctor attempted to convince the submarine's crew to be peaceful to him, but Lieutenant Stepashin stunned Skaldak with a cattle prod. The Doctor ordered the crew to imprison Skaldak; Clara was sent to try and talk some sense into him, under the Doctor's guidance, but discovered Skaldak had managed to escape his capture and threatened to launch the submarine's nuclear missiles. The Doctor and Clara managed to make him hesitate his decision, and Skaldak and the submarine were rescued by an Ice Warrior ship. Skaldak left and remotely disarmed the submarine. The Doctor then confessed to setting the HADS, and found that it had sent the TARDIS to the South Pole; he had to ask the submarine captain for a lift, much to Clara's amusement. (TV: Cold War)

At some point, Clara went to Baghdad in 1930 with the Doctor, where she met and befriended Amy Johnson. After an adventure, Clara bade a sad farewell to Amy, knowing that she wouldn't see Amy again until Amy's death. She soon found a loophole in that her body was never found and, thus, as Amy was drowning a few years later, the TARDIS materialised around her. The Doctor and Clara took Amy to Cornucopia. (COMIC: A Wing and a Prayer)

Later, the Doctor took Clara to Caliburn House, the home of Major Alec Palmer, which was thought to have been haunted by the "Witch of the Well" for many years. Unknown to Clara, he took her there to speak to the psychic Emma Grayling and find out what Clara was. The Doctor took lots of photographs of the ghost throughout Earth's timeline. The Doctor used his photographs to explain that the "ghost" was, in fact, a time traveller from the future called Hila Tacorien, who was trapped in a pocket universe and being chased by the Crooked Man. The Doctor used a crystal from Metebelis III to make Emma open up the portal to the pocket universe. Whilst there he saved Hila but got trapped himself; Clara argued with the TARDIS voice interface when the TARDIS would not let her in, Clara wanting to use the TARDIS to save the Doctor while the TARDIS was concerned for its own safety.

Later, after revealing that Hila was a distant relative of Alec and Emma, the Doctor realised that the "Crooked Man" in the pocket universe was trying to get to another creature in the house, so he and Clara went back to pick it up. (TV: Hide)

While the Doctor was out, the TARDIS demonstrated her antagonism toward Clara by deleting her bedroom and creating a holographic leopard while she was in the bathroom. It also created multiple versions of Clara simply to annoy her. (HOMEVID: Clara and the TARDIS) After this, he and Clara made an arrangement: he would pick her up every Wednesday and they would have adventures, but unlike his previous companions, she wouldn't travel aboard the TARDIS on a permanent basis as she had responsibilities on Earth of being a nanny. (TV: Nightmare in Silver)

Timelines in the TARDIS Edit

While trying to teach Clara how to operate the TARDIS, the time machine was caught in a magnetic hobble-field from a space salvage ship, operated by the Van Baalen Bros. A future version of the Doctor arrived through a time rift, throwing his present self a magno-grab remote with "BIG FRIENDLY BUTTON" branded into it to stop the ship's magno-grab. After the Doctor pressed the button, the TARDIS disappeared, escaping the Van Baalens and preventing its engine failure. The Doctor said aloud to Clara that two days had been compressed into the space of one. The Doctor asked Clara if she felt safe travelling with him, and after a long conversation, she admitted that she did. (TV: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS)

In an alternate timeline, however, the TARDIS was successfully captured by the Van Baalen Bros., causing the TARDIS to leak the past and future. In the confusion, the Doctor made it out of the TARDIS, while Clara ended up lost inside, her hand burnt by the scorching metal of a magno-grab remote that had mysteriously appeared in the TARDIS and rolled towards her shortly before she was separated from the Doctor. Inside, she travelled through the TARDIS' rooms, running away from a time zombie threatening to harm her. She eventually arrived in the TARDIS library and hid there. She read a book called The History of the Time War, and found out the Doctor's true name.

She kept travelling inside the TARDIS, eventually arriving in an echo of the control room. She was pulled through to another echo room and reunited with the Doctor, meeting Bram and Tricky Van Baalen. The Doctor switched off the countdown to the TARDIS's non-existent self-destruct sequence but realised that the magno-grab had caused the engine to start malfunctioning. On the way to the "centre of the TARDIS", the four kept running from the time zombies and reached the Cloister Room, where they found out what the time zombies really were: them. The Doctor managed to trick the time zombies and make them fall to their deaths inside the Eye of Harmony. The Doctor and Clara ran to the heart of the TARDIS. There, the Doctor told Clara about her uniqueness, and about her multiple lives and deaths.

The Doctor found that the burn marks on Clara's hand had formed words: "BIG FRIENDLY BUTTON". The Doctor then realised they needed to go back to the point of the disaster and activate the magno-grab remote, which had caused the burn marks on Clara's hand before, to stop the field and prevent the disaster. The Doctor passed through a time rift to give the device to his past self, who successfully activated it, undoing the damage to the engine and making Clara forget about the Doctor's name. The Doctor did not want Clara to go searching for his name, because an important secret was connected to it. (TV: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS) This adventure, although negated, was later recalled by Clara when the TARDIS leaked time energy. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)

Continued adventures Edit

The Doctor and Clara travelled to 1893 Yorkshire and reached a new little town, Sweetville, run by Winifred Gillyflower and her mysterious partner. While investigating the town, the two were taken by Gillyflower's guards into a creepy dungeon, where they were lowered down into a strange red liquid — known locally as "the Crimson Horror". Clara was successfully preserved by the matter and was placed with another survivor into a glass dome in one of the Sweetville houses, awaiting the next part of Mrs Gillyflower's insane plan. After Jenny Flint rescued the Doctor from being held by Ada Gillyflower in an almost catatonic condition, they eventually found Clara. The Doctor broke the glass, took Clara out and pulled her out of her "puppet" condition. Clara, the Doctor and Jenny set off to finally defeat Mrs Gillyflower in a tower in the town; Gillyflower, along with her mysterious partner — the repulsive red leech, Mr Sweet — planned to fire a rocket that would spread the "Crimson Horror" all around the world, wiping humanity out except for those preserved by being lowered into the liquid. Clara broke a chair on Mrs Gillyflower's control console preventing her from triggering the rocket. After the Crimson Horror was safely removed from the rocket, Mrs Gillyflower threatened to kill the Doctor and Clara anyway. She was shot by Strax and fell to the ground, suffering fatal injuries. Mrs Gillyflower died and Mr Sweet was also killed by Mrs Gillyflower's daughter, Ada.

The Doctor brought Clara back to the 21st century to the Maitland family house. Angie and Artie, the children she looked after, found photos from her adventures with the Doctor on her laptop and found out that she was a time traveller. When going through the photos, Clara saw one of her past lives, Clara Oswald, in Victorian London. Realising that both her physical appearance and where the picture took place in was different, Clara began to suspect something wasn't right. Before she could process the thought entirely, the kids begged her to take them to an adventure, or else they would tell their father that their nanny was a time traveller. Clara, lacking any other choice, agreed. (TV: The Crimson Horror)

The Doctor took Clara, Artie and Angie to the abandoned theme park, Hedgewick's World of Wonders, where Angie and Artie were taken by the Cybermen, who had been reawakened from their tombs after being presumed long-extinct. The Doctor put Clara in charge of the punishment platoon to fight the Cybermen and began a game of chess to end the stalemate over his mind with the Cyber-Planner, Mr Clever.

The Doctor released the children in exchange for one of his chess pieces and pulled in the "local resources" to stop the Cybermen. The missing Emperor, Ludens Nimrod Kendrick Cord Longstaff XLI, revealed himself as having been their short-statured friend Porridge and activated the planet-destroying bomb. This summoned his spaceship, transmatting the humans on Hedgewick's World to safety while the Cybermen were left behind on Hedgewick's World. Porridge proposed to Clara, but she declined. The Doctor returned Clara, Angie and Artie home. (TV: Nightmare in Silver)

Clara visited Tickle Town with the Doctor and was trapped in a roller coaster. She eventually escaped in the TARDIS. (COMIC: Welcome to Tickle Town)

Together, they met the King of Bones, (PROSE: Normality) and visited the avocado seas of Venofax, where they visited an archaeological dig. While the Doctor enjoyed himself, Clara quickly got bored and pressed some buttons on the archaeologists' equipment, accidentally turning off the barrier keeping the site from being flooded by the avocado seas. Nobody got hurt, but the entire expedition was ruined and everyone got wet.

After leaving Venofax, Clara changed into dry clothes in the TARDIS. When she came out, the Doctor had landed in Dallas in 1963. Clara and the Doctor discovered a parasite called the Shroud which was feeding off of the grief of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. After allying with some clowns from the planet Semtis, the Doctor took the Shroud to Venofax and trapped it there. (PROSE: Shroud of Sorrow)

Sometime later, whilst at home with Angie and Artie, Clara received a letter from Vastra laced with a soporific that took her into a "conference call". There, she learnt that the murderer Clarence DeMarco had said "The Doctor has a secret, you know. He has one he will take to the grave. And it is discovered," and showed Vastra the co-ordinates to where the Doctor's tomb was. The call was interrupted by the Whisper Men attempting to murder Jenny. River woke up Vastra and Strax, and the Great Intelligence appeared, using the face of Walter Simeon, to tell Clara that to save his friends, the Doctor had to come to Trenzalore - the place of his grave. When she woke up from the conference, River stayed connected. Using the telepathic circuits to get the co-ordinates, the Doctor and Clara went to Trenzalore, crossing the Doctor's timeline. The Great Intelligence was waiting there and wished to enter the tomb of the Doctor, a future, decaying version of the TARDIS.

Entering the decaying TARDIS through a hidden passageway, Clara began to remember the events of a deleted timeline, in which the Doctor told her about her multiple lives, causing her to panic slightly. They eventually made their way to the Doctor's tomb, where the Great Intelligence demanded the Doctor tell him his true name. When he refused, River uttered it, and the door opened. Inside the tomb, the Intelligence entered the Doctor's timeline, rewriting his history, changing all his victories into losses. The universe began decaying, all the people and civilisations saved by the Doctor now destroyed. With no other choice, Clara did what she was meant to do, saying, "Run. Run you clever boy, and remember me", she walked into the timeline as well, scattering herself across time and space. This action projected her across time, creating many other versions of her that saved the Doctor time and time again. Meanwhile, the Eleventh Doctor decided to jump into the timeline as well in order to save her. Hearing the Doctor's comforting voice, she approached him. As they were just about to leave, Clara noticed an incarnation of the Doctor that she'd never met. This version was the only one to break the promise of the name "the Doctor". However, the stress of the experience caused Clara to faint, so she didn't find out anything more about this incarnation. Clara and the Eleventh Doctor then departed, with the mysterious Doctor watching them leave. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)

After she escaped the Doctor's timeline, Clara could only remember bits and pieces of her echoes' lives. Some memories were more vivid, others she only recalled as dreams. (PROSE: Into the Nowhere)

Hanging out into space from the TARDIS, Clara and the Doctor found a Tonnchenform, similar to Earth tardigrades. The Doctor told Clara that because the space between galaxies was so big, they were rarely seen, but each of the billions of macroscopic creatures out there were beautiful and unique, just like the trillions of microscopic ones on Earth. Soon after, they went on an adventure involving a dinner with alien robots, a small jewel-encrusted seashell stolen by Bozzi the Mysterio, and a chase across the snowscapes of Halas Four. (PROSE: Normality)

After the two had ended the Frogman civil war, they were assaulted by Adam Mitchell who abducted Clara and placed her, along with all of the Doctor's other companions, in a suspended animation chamber. (COMIC: The Choice) The companions were soon freed by Frobisher to fight off the Master's Auton army, with the Doctor delighting in introducing Clara to Amy Pond and Rory Williams before Adam sacrificed himself to thwart the Master's plan. Along with the other companions, Clara attended Adam's funeral before she and the Doctor resumed their travels. (COMIC: Endgame)

One day, Clara awoke in a darkened and abandoned TARDIS, discovering herself to be in a spatial loop. Finding a button with a note that read "Do Not Touch", Clara decided that it was reverse psychology and pressed it, plummeting into a white void where she was rescued by the Sky Jack and taken to Tipperary Station, a meeting point of several alien scavengers, where she reunited with the Doctor, who had been there for three years from his perspective. As the two conversed, the Doctor came to the realisation that they were still in the TARDIS, within an old console room whose preparations had been comically exaggerated. Arriving at the console, the Doctor explained that this was the machinations of "the Hypothetical Gentelman", a disembodied entity that resided within the TARDIS' Matrix that the Doctor presumed to be a digital copy of a Time Lord tyrant, only for the being to reveal that it was the Matrix. After the Matrix explained how it became sentient, Clara, knowing that the Doctor was telepathically linked to the Matrix, took the initiative and stowed away on its craft, sabotaging it before the Matrix could cross the wormhole into the wider universe. The delay was enough for the Doctor to reset the TARDIS and trap the Matrix in a never ending wormhole. After the aliens had all been returned home, Clara and the Doctor joined the crew of the Sky Jack at VJ Day in the Hawaii. (COMIC: Sky Jacks)

Becoming a teacher Edit

Once George Maitland was coping well enough on his own, (PROSE: Normality) Clara took a teaching job at Coal Hill School. (TV: The Day of the Doctor) She attended teaching school before taking the job, where she met fellow teacher Christel Dean. (COMIC: Clara Oswald and the School of Death) She then received the job offer shortly after becoming qualified, perhaps with the Doctor's help.

When she started at school, Clara temporarily said goodbye to the Doctor and the TARDIS, so she could live a normal life for a while. Six weeks in, she began to regret this decision. (PROSE: Normality)

In at least one lesson, she lost control of the class and tried to use empty threats to make the children behave. This was unsuccessful, and later this memory would help her when facing threats against her in a further adventure. (TV: Deep Breath)

In one particular lesson, Clara decided to switch things up, proclaiming, "Normal is overrated," and brought her English class outside to teach them about tardigrades, in an attempt to give them a glimpse into the wonders of the universe. Once they got settled on the grass, she instructed them to look up at the sky for ten seconds, then to shut their eyes, count to five, open them again and tell her what they saw. (PROSE: Normality)

Clara rendezvoused with the Eleventh Doctor after school some days and was with him when his TARDIS was airlifted by UNIT to the National Gallery. There, Clara met Kate Stewart and consoled the Doctor when he was reminded of the Last Great Time War. She travelled with a Zygon impersonating Kate Stewart to the Black Archive unaware that the scientific leader of UNIT was being impersonated. Using the code scraped into the wall of the Tower of London, Clara activated Captain Jack Harkness' vortex manipulator and escaped the menacing Zygons by travelling to 1562. There, she met the War Doctor, Tenth Doctor and Queen Elizabeth I and attended the wedding of the latter two.

She was inserted into the Gallifreyan stasis cube Gallifrey Falls No More with the Doctors to surreptitiously re-enter the Black Archive in the 21st century. When the War Doctor left for his own time to activate the Moment, Clara told the two remaining Doctors that she could see in his eyes that the ending of the Time War was still in the old incarnation's future. She travelled through the Time Lock with the Doctors and begged them to reconsider when they decided to cause the genocide together. They took this advice to heart. She was therefore present when the Doctor changed history as he remembered it, and saved Gallifrey instead of destroying it. Back on Earth, she briefly met the mysterious Curator, unaware that anything was extraordinary about him. She bade farewell to the past Doctors, and kissed her Doctor on the cheek; when the Doctor asked how she knew he needed time alone with the painting, she told him, "I always know." Clara visited the Black Archive twice, but only had a memory of visiting once. As a result of the visit that she did not remember, she already had security access during the visit she did remember. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)

At some point, Clara took tae kwon do lessons with the year sevens after school. (TV: Robot of Sherwood)

On her travels with the Doctor, Clara was attacked by a mind parasite that was dubbed Waites. Waites caused Clara to live a horrible life where she lost her job and all her money but she retained enough awareness to seek out the Doctor, who called himself "John Smith" within the shared dream, only for him to turn her away. Eventually Clara managed to shatter the illusion, seconds after the Doctor, whereupon she physically attacked the parasite for the hell it had subjected her to before she and the Doctor ripped its avatars off its other victims, killing it. As the two walked away, the Doctor theorised that Clara's self awareness was the result of her having lived multiple lives. Clara smiled that the lack of Doctor was probably what had tipped her off that something was amiss. (COMIC: John Smith and the Common Men)

Clara visited the Obsidian Mainframe and attended the auction for various creatures. She was with the Doctor when the TARDIS was sold, and the Doctor gained a lot of money. They were then forced to travel "the normal way" to the Cornucopia's airport, where Amy Johnson lived. (COMIC: Pay the Piper, The Blood of Azrael)

Trenzalore Edit

Needing a fake boyfriend, Clara called the Doctor twice while he was orbiting a planet surrounded by the universe's most dangerous enemies. She convinced him to come but was shocked to find him naked, which he fixed for her by putting a holographic filter on her. Clara introduced him to her family, who saw him naked because he hadn't put the filter on them. Learning from Handles that the planet was apparently Gallifrey, Clara and the Doctor travelled there. When the Papal Mainframe arrived, the Doctor made Clara swallow a holographic projector to generate holographic clothes around her. Once on board, they met Tasha Lem who agreed to teleport the two to the planet. On the planet, Clara found a Weeping Angel. Surrounded by Angels, the Doctor pulled a secret key out of the wig he was wearing and summoned the TARDIS, saving them. He then flew the TARDIS to the nearby town of Christmas, where they learnt that the town was surrounded in a truth field. Searching for the source of the transmission, the two found a crack in time, and the Doctor realised that it was the Time Lords trying to return. The Doctor then explained that if he said his real name the Time Lords would return but all hell would then break loose. After learning that the planet was Trenzalore the Doctor had Clara return to the TARDIS. In the TARDIS, Clara inserted a device the Doctor gave her and was returned home, but grabbed onto the TARDIS as it dematerialised again.

Clara returned to Trenzalore three hundred years after she left and found the Doctor middle-aged. The Doctor had been defending Trenzalore from various threats and revealed to Clara that this would be the end of him. Clara begged him to let someone else take up the job of protecting the planet, but he refused. Clara watched the planet's brief sunrise with him, during which Handles died and the two were invited by Tasha to return to the Papal Mainframe. There, Clara and the Doctor were led into a trap, as the Daleks had already taken over the Mainframe and converted everyone into Dalek puppets. When the Doctor threatened to release the Time Lords if the Daleks tried to kill him, Tasha took Clara hostage, and the Doctor claimed not to care if she died. Bravely, Clara declared she would die anyway. Using Clara as an example of bravery, the Doctor helped Tasha regain control of herself and she teleported them back to the planet after disposing of the Daleks.

The Doctor and Clara returned to the TARDIS where they found Clara's turkey cooked, and he returned her home once again. At dinner, Clara had her grandmother repeat the story of how she fell for her grandfather and was relieved to hear the TARDIS again, grabbing a Christmas cracker to take to the Doctor. To her surprise, she discovered Tasha piloting the TARDIS, and Tasha returned her to Trenzalore sometime further into the future than she left. Tasha told Clara to go find the Doctor. Upon reuniting with the Doctor, Clara found him very old and weak. While they sat together, Clara opened the cracker and read the poem inside. When the Daleks demanded his surrender, he agreed but asked Clara to remain behind. Desperate to change the future, Clara pleaded to the Time Lords through the crack. To her surprise, the crack disappeared.

The new Doctor Edit

Clara watched tearfully as the Doctor stood on top of Christmas' Clock Tower and surrendered to the Daleks, prepared to finally die. As the Daleks hesitated and the Doctor goaded them on, the Time Lords granted the Doctor a new regenerative cycle. To Clara's relief, the Doctor began to regenerate, using his regeneration energy to destroy the Daleks. When the dust cleared, there was no sign of the Doctor, so Clara checked the TARDIS where she found him restored to his youthful self. However, the Doctor told her that he would still regenerate.However, despite her pleas, the Doctor suddenly regenerated into a new, older incarnation who left Clara confused by staring at her face to face, and then making comments about his new kidneys . The TARDIS suddenly began crashing, and to Clara's horror, the new Doctor asked her if she knew how to pilot the TARDIS, having apparently forgotten how himself. ( TV

After crashing in prehistoric times, the new Doctor and Clara were chased by a Tyrannosaurus rex. They managed to escape into the TARDIS, which the dinosaur then swallowed. The TARDIS then relocated to Victorian London, bringing the dinosaur with them, which spat out the time machine after choking on it. The Doctor, suffering from severe post-regenerative confusion, stepped out and met Madame Vastra, Jenny, and Strax. An equally befuddled Clara joined him. Back at Paternoster Row, the Doctor was put to bed to recover. Vastra confronted Clara over her attitude to the Doctor's new face, and Clara admitted that it was a big change for her. Upstairs, the Doctor escaped his room and attempted to communicate with the dinosaur in the Thames, when it suddenly burst into flames. Clara and the Gang left separately and ended up right next to him. The Doctor, still rather confused, disappeared into the Thames.

The next morning, Clara found a newspaper advertisement that called her the "Impossible Girl" and invited her to "dinner on the other side"... of the page, which turned out to be an advert for Mancini's Family Restaurant. Believing it was a message planted by the Doctor, Clara travelled to the restaurant and indeed found the Doctor there, though he denied leaving the message. Clara and the Doctor were taken down to the restaurant "larder" so that the droids could harvest their organs. After being separated from the Doctor, the Half-Face Man interrogated her with threats of death, but remembering what happened when she had unsuccessfully threatened her rebellious students, dared him to, calling him on his bluff and saying that if the new Doctor was really the Doctor, he'd save her. The Doctor suddenly revealed himself. She and the Doctor called the Paternoster Gang into action, and they began fighting off the droids. The Half-Face Man escaped, but the Doctor followed. Clara and the Gang seemed to be overpowered by the droids, but before they could be killed they all suddenly deactivated.

Clara and the Gang returned to Paternoster Row, finding that the Doctor and the TARDIS had vanished. Clara prepared to ask for a vacancy, believing the Doctor wouldn't come back. However, he did, and Clara happily ran to the TARDIS. Inside, she was surprised to find the Doctor, like his predecessors, had renovated the control room. He affirmed to Clara he was not her boyfriend. Still having great trouble dealing with the sudden changes to the Doctor's regenerated self, Clara showed trepidation to continue travelling with him when the TARDIS landed on Earth. Clara's phone started ringing. Stepping outside, Clara answered the phone and was shocked to hear the voice of the Eleventh Doctor. He told her he was calling from Trenzalore before he had finished regenerating. He told her the new Doctor would be just as scared after the change as she would be and urged her to help him, with the two of them finally exchanging a belated goodbye. This call finally convinced Clara to accept the new Doctor, and she gave him a big hug, despite him protesting he was no longer a "hugging person". The two then realised that instead of Clara's home, they had landed in Glasgow, and they set off to get coffee. (TV: Deep Breath)

Travels with the Twelfth Doctor Edit

When the Doctor failed to return with the coffee, Clara returned to her teaching duties. Mr Armitage introduced her to a new maths teacher, Danny Pink, and following an awkward conversation, asked each other out. Clara returned to her office and found the Doctor with the coffee. The Doctor told her he needed her help and brought her aboard the TARDIS. He asked her if he was "a good man", but she told him she didn't know. Aboard a ship called the Aristotle, Clara and the Doctor joined a team to be shrunk and deposited into a malfunctioning Dalek called "Rusty". The shrunken Doctor and Clara entered Rusty through its eyestalk in order to determine how it became good and attempt to repair the Dalek so that it could help the efforts of the resistance. When the Doctor's repairing of Rusty caused it to kill several of the Aristotle's soldiers, Clara entered the Dalek's memory banks and allowed the Doctor to link minds with it, causing it to turn against its kind and order a nearby Dalek ship to retreat. After this Clara and the Doctor returned to their normal size. The Doctor then returned Clara to Coal Hill School, again asking if he was a good man. Again she admitted she didn't know but pointed out that he tried to be, which was what really counted. Back at Coal Hill, she met up with Danny again, agreeing to go on a date with him and insisting she had nothing against soldiers. (TV: Into the Dalek)

The Doctor offered Clara the choice of their next visit. She requested to meet Robin Hood, having grown up reading the stories about him, despite the Doctor's insistence that he was a fictional character. They arrived in Sherwood Forest, to indeed find Robin Hood, but the Doctor refused to believe he was real. Following an archery contest, the Doctor, Clara and Robin were captured by the Sheriff of Nottingham and his robot knights, and taken to his castle, which was actually a spaceship. The Doctor and Robin argued in the cell, leading the guard to believe Clara was the most responsible and mature one of the three - and therefore their leader - so he took her out to the Sheriff. Clara tricked the Sheriff into revealing to her his plans to take over the kingdom. The Sheriff also revealed that he planned to make Clara his consort, and attempted to kiss her, which she avoided. She then warned the Sheriff that he'd "regret that" if he tried again. She managed to escape with Robin, who brought her to his campsite and demanded he tell her what the Doctor knew about the Robin Hood legends, though she ended up telling them about the Doctor's life as well, having been unable to stop once she started. They returned to the castle in the middle of a revolt led by the Doctor, where Robin defeated the Sheriff in a battle. Clara, the Doctor and Robin then teamed up to launch a golden arrow to allow the ship to fly into space. Clara and the Doctor farewelled Robin and set off on more adventures. (TV: Robot of Sherwood)

Clara went on a date with Danny, but some miscommunication caused her to storm off. Returning home, Clara met the Doctor, who convinced her to help him learn if there was a creature that can perfectly hide; he believed this to be why people talk out loud when alone. Using the telepathic circuits, Clara accidentally landed the TARDIS at the West Country Children's Home in the 1990s when a call from Danny distracted her. Clara and a young boy called Rupert Pink, who was a younger version of Danny, and they encountered a mysterious figure hidden by a bed sheet sitting on Rupert's bed. The Doctor, Clara and Rupert turned away from the figure as it left Rupert's bedroom, and they were unable to find out if it was a creature or a child playing a prank. Clara asked the Doctor to take her back to the moment she left Danny, so she could attempt patching things up. However, not only did she mess things up, but the Doctor called her back to the TARDIS, where she met Orson Pink, who came from 100 years later in Clara's timeline.

Orson was a time traveller who had been trapped at the end of time, where the Doctor's theory seemed possible, as something wanted in. However, the Doctor was knocked out when the door opened and the oxygen field collapsed. Clara piloted the TARDIS via the telepathic circuits, accidentally landing in the Doctor's own childhood. Hiding under his bed, Clara convinced the young First Doctor it was a dream. Fear, she told him, can make one kind instead of cruel and cowardly, and a day would come when he was the most afraid. Inside the TARDIS, Orson asked the Doctor what was outside Orson's ship, but Clara entered and asked the Doctor what if there was nothing behind the door, or under everyone's beds, and "What if the big bad Time Lord doesn't want to admit he's just afraid of the dark?" Clara made the Doctor promise to leave and never find out where they had landed. She returned to the 21st century where she decided to make her relationship with Danny a romantic one. She leaned in and kissed Danny, allowing both of them to overcome their separate fears of becoming a couple. (TV: Listen)

Dating life and companion life collide Edit

While Clara was preparing for a date with Danny, she refused to go sightseeing with the Doctor. However, when the Doctor received a call from an elderly Madame Karabraxos, who asked him to rescue the Teller and its imprisoned mate from the Bank of Karabraxos before the solar storm would destroy it, Clara joined the Doctor on the mission. The Doctor recruited Saibra and Psi and, disguising himself as "the Architect", orchestrated a bank heist for himself and his new team to commit. The Doctor, Clara and Saibra used memory worms to erase their recent memories, while Psi deleted his recent memories manually. This allowed them to break into the Bank of Karabraxos without revealing their plan to the Teller, who was forced to work as the bank's telepathic guard by Ms Delphox, the Head of Bank Security. Following the instructions left by the Architect, the team discovered six devices which they believed were atomic shredders. Preferring a quick and painless death, Saibra was soon forced to use one of them, as later was Psi.

Left alone, the Doctor and Clara entered the bank's vault, where they found the payment which the Architect had promised to Psi and Saibra. The pair were soon captured by the Teller and Ms Delphox, who ordered their execution. However, they were rescued by Saibra and Psi, who had survived and disguised themselves as guards. They revealed that the "atomic shredders" were actually teleporters. Reunited, the team ventured into the bank's private vault, where they discovered the bank's director, a younger Madame Karabraxos. Realising the true identity of the Architect, the Doctor wrote down his phone number and gave it to Karabraxos, who fled the bank. No longer subjected to Karabraxos, the Teller used its psychic powers to restore the Doctor's lost memories, allowing him to learn the true objective of their mission. After freeing the Teller and its mate, the Doctor and his team escaped the planet using the teleporters. Reunited with his TARDIS, the Doctor dropped the two creatures off on an isolated planet. After giving Psi and Saibra their payment and having a meal with them and Clara in the TARDIS, the Doctor returned his companions to their respective times and places, allowing Clara to be back home on time for her date. (TV: Time Heist)

At some point, the TARDIS had been lost in 22nd century London and kept a boy called Simon safe when the city had been taken over by wolves. At a time when Simon, the Doctor and Clara all needed help, Simon triggered the TARDIS' telepathic circuits and the TARDIS materialised around the Doctor and Clara just as they were "about to be turned into toast by an Aaaraanandal slime beast". They took Simon out of the danger zone to bring him to his parents in Bedfordshire, before leaving in the TARDIS. (PROSE: When the Wolves Came)

Although the Doctor always returned her home soon after they left, leading a double life didn't prove to be easy for Clara. During one of their adventures, the Doctor and Clara were held prisoner on a desert planet. As a result, Clara acquired a tan, which surprised Danny. After meeting fish people with the Doctor, Clara turned up on a date with Danny in a wet dress and with seaweed in her hair. One day Danny came round to Clara's flat to go running with her, not knowing that she was already exhausted after running for her life on another outing with the Doctor. On another occasion, Danny saw Clara wearing a space helmet. By that time, the rumours of Clara's and Danny's romantic relationship were travelling among the students of Coal Hill School. Clara's two lives finally collided when one morning the Doctor informed her that they were not going to have an adventure that day, explaining that he had a "thing" to do. To her horror, when Clara arrived at Coal Hill School, Mr Armitage introduced her, Danny and other teachers to the school's new caretaker, who was actually the Doctor going undercover. He had discovered a Skovox Blitzer killer robot in the surrounding area and was planning to lure it into the school, where he was going to trap it using chronodyne generators and send it into the Time Vortex. However, his plans were spoiled when Danny, whom the Doctor didn't like and whom he claimed he didn't recognise, discovered and switched off some of the chronodyne generators.

The Doctor was still able to temporarily send the Blitzer into the Time Vortex. Noticing that Clara was familiar with the Doctor, Danny demanded explanations. Clara had to tell him the truth about her life with the Doctor. The Doctor's dislike for Danny increased when he learned that Danny was Clara's boyfriend. Declining his proposal to erase Danny's memories of these events, Clara took the shocked Danny home. Danny was uncomfortable with the fact that Clara "eloped" with the Doctor when he wasn't seeing her. This prompted her to give him an invisibility watch and take him with her into the TARDIS the next day so that he could observe her interactions with the Doctor. However, the Doctor sensed Danny's presence, and a heated confrontation arose between the two men. As Danny stormed out of the TARDIS, Clara reminded him that it was parents' evening at Coal Hill School that day, and the pair had to return to their duties.

During the parents' evening, the Skovox Blitzer suddenly emerged from the Time Vortex earlier than expected, which the Doctor detected. He summoned Clara and gave her his sonic screwdriver, instructing her to use it to attract the Blitzer's attention and lure it towards the TARDIS. The Doctor used the device that he had built to make the Blitzer think of him as of its superior. This accidentally triggered the Blitzer's self-destruct protocol. However, Danny appeared at the last moment and distracted it, giving the Doctor enough time to deactivate the Blitzer. The Doctor had to acknowledge that Danny had saved the world, while Danny claimed that he didn't need the Doctor to like him, but needed to prove himself a worthy boyfriend for Clara in the Doctor's eyes. Clara shared an evening with Danny. He told her that when he was a soldier, he knew officers like the Doctor, and made Clara promise to tell him if the Doctor ever pushed her too hard. (TV: The Caretaker)

Clara volunteered to supervise a school ski trip with Danny, so the Doctor brought her to the planet Isen VI, which they discovered being terraformed by Kano Dollar and his company Dollar Intergalactic. The terraforming woke up a Hyperion named Rann-Korr. Clara had to use a ski-pole to fence with Eric the drone, reprogrammed by Rann-Korr, and helped the Doctor to revert an area of Isen VI around Rann-Korr to its original icy state, freezing Rann-Korr inside. This was Clara's first encounter with Hyperions. (COMIC: Terrorformer)

Clara and the Doctor later answered a distress call from an old friend of his, Tiger Maratha, leading them to meet his daughter Priyanka Maratha instead as Tiger had been dead for some time. It turned out that a family cult that worshipped Kali were working to resurrect her by murdering people and using their souls to power Kali's rebirth; they had tricked Tiger into collecting three of the four swords, but threatened to kill him when he claimed that the fourth was nowhere to be found. Clara was captured and used as bait to ensure the Doctor brought the fourth sword of Kali to them, in exchange for Clara's safety.

However, they double-crossed the Doctor and used Clara as the vessel of Kali's spirit, mutating her into Kali's form; Clara retained awareness of what was happening. When the Doctor returned, he managed to help free Clara briefly from Kali's control, saving him from being sliced to death. However, the Doctor had a backup plan; he had placed his sonic screwdriver in the fourth sword and tricked Kali into destroying her power source. The vengeful spirits forced Kali out of Clara, returning her to normal. Borrowing a shirt from Priyanka, Clara and the Doctor attended the Festival of Light with Priyanka and her new girlfriend Rani Jhulka, a time-displaced Amazon from 18th century Africa. (COMIC: The Swords of Kali)

Shunning the Doctor Edit

When the Doctor told Courtney that she wasn't special, she became upset and inconsolable. Noticing this, Clara asked the Doctor to tell Courtney that she was special, which prompted him to take both Clara and Courtney to the Moon in the year 2049 so that Courtney could become the first girl to step on the lunar surface. The TARDIS landed on board a space shuttle that Captain Lundvik and her crew were piloting to the Moon, which recently had been gaining weight and creating chaos on Earth due to its increasing gravity. Investigating an abandoned moonbase, the Doctor, Clara, Courtney and the astronauts were attacked by spider-like creatures, who soon killed Lundvik's crew.

After scanning the Moon's core, the Doctor discovered that the Moon was actually an egg that was about to hatch and release a giant creature. Believing that it was a threat to humanity, Lundvik desired to kill it using the nuclear bombs which her crew brought to the Moon in their shuttle. Unwilling to kill a yet-to-be-born and potentially innocent organism, Clara asked for the Doctor's advice - but to her horror, he proclaimed that it was not his place to decide the fate of Earth's Moon and departed in the TARDIS, leaving Clara, Courtney and Lundvik to make a decision on behalf of humankind.

Clara sent a video message to Earth, asking humanity to vote whether they should destroy the creature or not. Although the human race unanimously voted for killing it, Clara could not bear such a decision and cancelled the countdown. At the same moment, the TARDIS arrived back, and the Doctor took the three women to a beach on Earth. The creature harmlessly emerged from its egg, its eggshell dissolving without doing any damage to Earth, and laid another egg. He explained that the sight of such a creature being born would fascinate humanity and inspire it to pioneer into space and spread across the universe.

After the Doctor took Courtney back to Coal Hill School, Clara confronted the Doctor, demanding to know what he really knew and threatening to hit him "so hard he would regenerate". The Doctor replied that he knew that the creature wouldn't harm Earth and that Clara "would always make the right choice". Angered by the fact that the Doctor, whom she considered her friend, had put her in a terrible situation in which she nearly caused the death of an innocent creature, and tired of his patronising attitude, Clara told him to leave and never return for her, exiting the TARDIS in tears. When Danny came to see Clara in her class, she recounted the story to him. She claimed that she had finished with the Doctor, but Danny pointed out that she was still angry and stated that "you can never finish with anyone while they can still make you angry". He told Clara to calm down first, and only then tell the Doctor that their relationship was over. (TV: Kill the Moon)

Forgiving the Doctor Edit

Clara remained angry at the Doctor for several weeks, but eventually, she realised that although she couldn't carry on travelling with him, she didn't want to part with him on bad terms, and agreed to make one final trip with him as "a goodbye to the good times". The Doctor took Clara to the space-bound recreation of the Orient Express, where they soon learned that one of the passengers, Mrs Pitt, had recently died. Theorising that she was killed by the mythical Foretold, the Doctor set off to investigate, while Clara followed Maisie, Mrs Pitt's granddaughter, to the luggage car, where the two got themselves trapped.

After several more people were killed by the Foretold, the Doctor discovered that the Orient Express was actually a trap orchestrated by Gus, the computer who controlled the train, to study the Foretold. Learning that Maisie would be the next victim and planning to make use of her death in order to study the Foretold, the Doctor phoned Clara and told her to bring Maisie to the lab, making Clara lie to her that the Doctor would be able to save her. Gus unlocked the luggage car door, allowing Clara and Maisie to the lab, where the Doctor admitted knowing all along, or at least suspecting, that this wouldn't be just a relaxing voyage. Clara realised that the Doctor had once again placed her in a dangerous situation. The Doctor was able to make the Foretold attack him instead of Maisie and, identifying it as an "ancient soldier being driven by malfunctioning tech", surrendered to it, allowing it to die. Having no more need for the scientists, Gus proceeded to remove all the air from the train, making Clara and the rest of the passengers pass out. The Doctor retained oxygen long enough to use the Foretold's teleport to rescue everyone on board.

Upon waking up, Clara found herself with the Doctor on a beach on a nearby planet. He explained that he was unable to save the other passengers from the Foretold and that there was a big chance that he wouldn't be able to save Maisie as well, but he still had to risk her life to stop the Foretold, because "sometimes the only choices you have are bad ones, but you still have to choose". Back in the TARDIS, Clara asked the Doctor if he loved the fact that his life was full of dangerous situations and hard decisions, and whether it was like an addiction for him, to which he replied that you couldn't tell if something was an addiction until you tried to give it up. Upon receiving a call from Danny, Clara indicated to him that she had finally parted ways with the Doctor. However, unable to really give up her life in the TARDIS, she lied to the Doctor that Danny wouldn't mind if she continued travelling with the Doctor as long as he brought her home safe and on time, and much to his joy and delight, asked him to take her on a new adventure. (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express)

Secret adventures Edit

The Doctor landed on the Pollyanna, the first of the Ninth Era sunships, which had been on an expedition to circumnavigate the Sun. Because the temperature was kept cold in spite of the Doctor telling Clara he was taking her "somewhere warm", Clara went back inside the TARDIS to change in warmer clothing, while the Doctor ran off without her. Clara met the boss of the expedition, the egotistical "handsome quadrillionaire" Rudy Zoom, and was shown the Pollyanna's flight deck. When the Umbra, a group of "psychic predators" who fed off self-loathing, began attacking the Pollyanna, Clara used the TARDIS to translate a looped signal Sandy Tanaka had been trying to decode. The signal was a message recorded by an alien scientist whom had created the Umbra. He said that originally, the Umbra had been a psychic fabric fashioned into a cloak which drained guilt. However, the Umbra gained intelligence and devoured his people's "spirits".

The scientist as a last ditch effort tried burning them in the Sun, but they survived, trapped inside the Sun's chromosphere. The Umbra began swarming the Pollyanna, anchoring the ship to the Sun to try and hijack it and use it as a way of reaching Earth. As the rest of the crew on the flight deck headed to auxiliary control, Clara destroyed the navigation system, stopping the Umbra from finding Earth. After the crew was surrounded, Clara realised that Rudy was too much of a narcissist to have any self-loathing in his mind for the Umbra to feed on, and sent him to speak to the Umbra. As a result, the inside of Rudy's mind was "like poison" to the Umbra and the Umbra on board were destroyed while trying to feed on his mind. Meanwhile, the Doctor had used the graviton inverter on the Pollyanna to destroy the Umbra which had swarmed on the ship's hull by freezing them to death. (COMIC: The Eye of Torment)

While attempting to return Clara home, the Doctor accidentally took the TARDIS to Bristol, and the pair discovered that the TARDIS exterior had reduced in size. Staying behind in the TARDIS to investigate the effect, the Doctor sent Clara to look around and find the cause. Clara met Rigsy and his community service crew and learned that people had been disappearing in the area, with murals of them appearing on the walls of a pedestrian tunnel. On returning Clara discovered that the TARDIS had shrunk further, preventing the Doctor from getting out. However, the doorway was still large enough for him to pass Clara his sonic screwdriver, his psychic paper and a nanotechnological device that allowed him to communicate with Clara and see through her eyes. Putting the small TARDIS in her handbag, Clara set off to find the source of the dimensional leeching.

Clara once again met Rigsy, and they investigated the disappearances. The Doctor realised that they were dealing with beings from a two-dimensional universe, who were sucking people into flat surfaces. As the two-dimensional entities were advancing on Clara and Rigsy, Clara received a call from Danny and, telling him that she was busy helping a community worker find his missing aunt, quickly hung up. Clara and Rigsy escaped the danger and, when the Doctor realised that the murals were actually the creatures taking forms of their victims, Clara and the rest of the community service crew at the tunnel hid in a nearby engine repair warehouse. While the group was confused and disorientated, Clara became the leader and attempted to bring them to safety. As the creatures had gradually picked off the community service workers, Clara, Fenton and Rigsy became the only survivors. The Doctor claimed that he had discovered a way to send the creatures back to their dimension but didn't have enough power to do so. In the chaos, the TARDIS was dropped down a shaft onto a railway. Fleeing from the creatures, Clara found the TARDIS in siege mode on the tracks and devised a plan to restore its power. She asked Rigsy to paint a fake door with a flattened handle and placed the TARDIS behind it. Attempting to de-flatten the fake handle so that they could open the "door", the creatures unknowingly pumped dimensional energy into the TARDIS, restoring it to its proper size and full power. The Doctor emerged from the TARDIS and, taking his sonic screwdriver back from Clara, sent them back to their dimension. When the threat was over, the Doctor took the survivors to the surface. (TV: Flatline)

The Doctor tried taking Clara to the frost fair in 1641, but instead, was drawn off course and landed in the Sahara Desert in 1941, where they were captured by Nazis. After the Doctor spoke to their field marshal, Erwin Rommel, and learnt of Germany's Tuareg allies making friends with "men from the stars", Clara stayed behind at the base because of the Tuareg's hostility towards women. Eventually, though, after the Rutan spy Heinz Bruckner framed the Doctor and Clara as spies, Clara was taken prisoner and joined Bruckner, ostensibly in a mission to find the Doctor and Field Marshall Rommel. Instead, Bruckner drove to the site of the Sontaran world engine weapon, the Warsong, using the chronal energy inside Clara to pinpoint the location of the Warsong so he could claim it for the Rutans. The Doctor and Rommel broke through the defences of the Warsong, but Bruckner held Clara hostage. The Doctor stopped Bruckner from conducting the millennia-old preset programming of the Warsong by using a Sontaran osmic projector to send Bruckner's trigger mechanism through time, and Clara broke free. Rommel threw Bruckner into the Warsong, killing him, while the Doctor destroyed the "orchestra" of the Warsong by using his sonic screwdriver to blow it up. Afterwards, he brought Clara to the frost fair. (COMIC: The Instruments of War)

Clara and Danny chaperoned a school trip to a museum, and upon leaving, discovered a forest had grown all over the world. One of the students, Maebh Arden was missing. Clara, Danny and the students met up with the Doctor at Trafalgar Square, and she and the Doctor set off to find Maebh. Following a trail that Maebh left, they caught up to her but were trapped by a tiger. Danny saved them. Maebh claimed to have been behind the forest, and the solar flare headed for Earth that had come to her in the thoughts Maebh found after her sister Annabel went missing. Believing there was no hope for humanity, Clara convinced the Doctor to leave her and Earth behind. The Doctor began to leave but realised the trees were protecting Earth, rather than destroying it with the solar flare. With the Doctor's help, Maebh sent out a message to humanity urging them to leave the trees alone. The Doctor and Clara then watched as Earth was shielded from the solar flare by the trees. Back at her flat, the Doctor stated to Clara that humanity would forget the incident. (TV: In the Forest of the Night)

Losing Danny Edit

This section's awfully stubby Info from Fear Is a Superpower needs to be added

During the "invasion of the trees" Danny learned about Clara's secret adventures with the Doctor. After marking her student's schoolwork and writing some sticky notes, Clara was prepared to tell Danny the truth. (TV: In the Forest of the Night) While he was out walking, she phoned him. She began to tell him about her recent travels with the Doctor and that she loved him, however, the line fell silent during the call. A panicked woman took the call and informed her that Danny had been hit by a car. Clara rushed to the scene in time to see Danny's lifeless body being taken away by paramedics. Several days later, Clara attempted and failed to blackmail the Doctor to save Danny's life. The Doctor still agreed to use the telepathic circuits to find a way to save Danny. The TARDIS took them to 3W. They were greeted by Missy, who said that she was a greeting droid and passed them on to Dr Chang. Dr Chang established a communication with the Nethersphere, and the voice of Danny came through. The Doctor left with Chang to investigate the centre while Clara spoke with Danny. Clara asked Danny to say something which only he could say so that she knew that it was definitely him. She vowed to find a way to be with him, even if it meant taking her own life. In fear that she would die for him, Danny repeatedly told Clara he loved her, prompting her to end the call. Turning around, she found that the dark water had drained from the tank containing Dr Skarosa, revealing him to be a Cyberman. (TV: Dark Water)

To save herself, Clara used her knowledge of the Doctor to try to convince the Cybermen that she was him but ultimately failed. However, another Cyberman stunned her, killed the others and took her to a graveyard. In the graveyard, Clara avoided the Cybermen rising from their graves and her saviour revealed itself to be Danny. However, Danny couldn't stand the pain of being a Cyberman and asked Clara to activate his inhibitor for him. Clara activated his inhibitor to allow Danny to clearly see the Cybermen's plan and afterwards hugged Danny who retained control even with the inhibitor due to his love for her. As Clara hugged Danny, Missy, who was in fact a female incarnation of the Doctor's boyhood friend the Master, arrived to reveal her plan was to convert all of humanity and have them march across the universe, conquering and converting, an unstoppable army, with the only question being whether that army spread on its own or the Doctor took control of it himself. During the confrontation, Clara got ahold of Missy's weapon, while the Doctor handed control of the army to Danny. Danny then sacrificed himself to stop Missy's plans. However, the devastated Clara decided to kill her out of revenge. The Doctor decided to do it to spare Clara from being tainted, but they were both spared when a rogue Cyberman appeared to disintegrate Missy with his wrist blaster.

Two weeks later, Clara awoke to Danny's voice and followed it to a portal. Clara was excited as the Doctor had told her that Missy's bracelet, which Danny had on him, would thus allow him to come back. However, Danny chose to send back the boy he killed, asking Clara to get him home as there was only enough power left for one trip for one person. Meeting with the Doctor, Clara nearly told him about what happened with Danny when the Doctor assumed he returned and she would be ending her adventures with him for a life with Danny. However, she stopped herself when he told her that he had found Gallifrey. Clara said goodbye to the Doctor and watched him depart once more as she didn't want to spoil his happiness. (TV: Death in Heaven)

Second chance with the Doctor Edit

When Clara was attacked by a dream crab who slowly fed on her brain, she had a dream where she became an old woman filled with regrets. She turned down many marriage proposals, taught in every school in Europe and learnt how to fly an aeroplane. She was then attacked by a dream crab, and in the dream within the dream was a young woman who saw Santa Claus' sleigh crash on her roof. The Doctor arrived and invited Clara into the TARDIS, and they arrived at a base on the North Pole on Christmas Eve. The Doctor, Clara and the scientists at the polar base were again attacked by dream crabs and had a dream within this dream where Santa saved everybody's life. Clara told the Doctor that Danny was, in fact, dead, while the Doctor explained that he lied about finding Gallifrey. While trying to fetch a dream crab specimen for the Doctor to examine, Clara realised the specimen had come to life, and attacked her face, causing her to have a dream within this dream. In the dream, Clara had woken up on Christmas morning to an alive Danny, and the Doctor had used a dream crab to enter this dream. Clara assured the Danny in the dream that she would miss him for five minutes every day while for the rest of the time she would "get the hell on with it".

After leaving Danny, the Doctor realised that the dream crab had left no wound on either of them and everyone at the polar base still had the pain in a spot on the head, which meant that they were still dreaming. The Doctor, Clara and the scientists woke up, but before they left, Clara asked the Doctor how Santa could have been on her roof if he was a part of the dream. Ashley Carter signalled Santa with a flare to get them away from the dream constructs that were psychic representations of the dream crabs' attack, and as they rode on Santa's sleigh, the base's scientists, who weren't actually scientists, woke up in the real world. Inside Clara's dream as an old woman, the Doctor pulled the dream crab off her face while she failed to wake up, and he realised that he had arrived sixty-two years after he had last met her. As Clara told the Doctor about her life and the Doctor wished he could have come back for her earlier, Santa arrived, asking the Doctor, "How much do you wish that?" The Doctor woke up again, and pulled the dream crab off of Clara's face again at her home, revealing a young Clara. The Doctor offered Clara to travel through time and space in the TARDIS again, and she agreed. (TV: Last Christmas)

The Doctor and Clara travelled to a galactic auction in Earth's orbit where unclaimed storage was being bid on. One of the storage pods belonged to the reclusive collector Hyphen T Hyphen. When the pod was opened, a mother Rigellan Hyper-Kraken emerged and began killing everyone. Her eggs were jolted after being transported with the station's dimensional shunt and began to hatch. Clara helped distract the Hyper-Kraken along with the station's auctioneer as the Doctor safely transported the Hyper-Kraken, her eggs and the storage pods to a backwater world. (COMIC: Space Invaders!)

The Doctor and Clara went on a tour of Snowcap University in Antarctica in 2048. While taking a helicopter ride, they learnt that one of the students, Polly Evans, had stayed behind at the end of term to join the classified Project Sub-Zero. When another student, Quinn Norton, who also a part of Project Sub-Zero, was killed in a helicopter crash the Doctor and Clara narrowly avoided being on along with Polly's father George, they returned to Snowcap U to investigate. Clara met a research graduate called Winnie Clarence, short for "Oswin Clarence". Winnie looked exactly like Clara and recalled dreams of living a thousand lives in a thousand places. Winnie overheard a discussion between the Doctor and Clara over whether or not this meant she was one of her splinters who was born to die based on a decision Clara made and ran off on a snowmobile. Clara tried following after Winnie but the two fell down a crevasse into an ice cavern where the missing students had been experimented on, engineered by Dr Patricia Audley to survive in extreme cold. Along with the spy Paul South, Winnie released most of the imprisoned humans from captivity.

The Doctor transmitted a signal with his sonic causing Dr Audley's animals to go wild. After feigning betrayal of the two, Winnie threw the Doctor the key to free the hybrid subjects from their cells and saved the Doctor's life by pulling Dr Audley into a vat of liquid ice after Audley pulled a gun on him. Dr Audley was killed, and Winnie appeared to have sacrificed herself, once again, for the Doctor. When Winnie's mother arrived on the scene, Clara, struck with guilt over the death of Winnie, made the decision to live out her life as Winnie to spare Winnie's mother the pain of losing her daughter. Fortunately, Clara did not have to do this as Winnie survived when she unwittingly had a syringe of Dr Audley's experimental blue blood serum injected into her, allowing her to live inside the ice. Clara realised that this meant that not all of the splinters died saving the Doctor, and many of them had lives of their own. The Doctor said that Clara was able to release some of her inner demons as a result of this knowledge. (COMIC: Blood and Ice)

The Doctor and Clara visited Paris in 1944 just after it was liberated from the Germans. After foiling a plot by the Darapok Empire, the Doctor and Clara joined in on the liberation celebrations. (COMIC: Trust)

Clara joined the Doctor in a mission to help Mr Hitch recover the sentient superweapon the Hadax Ura. The Hadax Ura shot down the landing craft the team were inside, revealing the weapon's location on the planet Unnamed BX-4, but the team were able to escape using jetpacks. While piloting a jetpack, Clara got separated from the team when she was attacked by pterosaurs, causing her to fall into the Jungle.

Clara met the Jungle's organic avatar, who took the form of Danny in an attempt to get Clara to trust him. Although this didn't work, the Doctor found Clara and the organic avatar, and the avatar told them that the Hadax Ura had been "devouring" the Jungle, and turning its indigenous life into an army, and asked them either to destroy the weapon or to take it elsewhere. The Doctor realised that this meant it intended to end the war between the Hub Alliance and the Axis Worlds, and the Hadax Ura began augmenting the crew to become its foot soldiers. Believing it had augmented Clara as well, the Hadax Ura had actually linked the Jungle's computer systems to its own after augmenting the avatar. The avatar appeared to shut down the Hadax Ura and its augmented soldiers, but in fact, the Hadax Ura had tricked Hitch's team to bring it on board the lander as a means of escape for the Hadax Ura. With Clara surrounded by the converted Gela and Wiremu and about to be killed by them, the avatar saved her life by destroying them with the entire Jungle's wildlife. When the Doctor returned, Clara kissed goodbye to the Danny avatar, who told her he would always be in her memories. (COMIC: Spirits of the Jungle)

The Doctor and Clara encountered a vampire-like race called the Corvids in Highgate Cemetery in 1972, who had petrified the TARDIS. They tried consuming Clara's psychic essence but found her toxic due to her unique connection to the time-space vortex where she splintered into a million Claras. The Doctor discovered that the Corvids exposing themselves to Clara left a psychic corridor open, and using the psychic signature of the dead amplified by the ley line the cemetery was built on, the Doctor banished the Corvids back to the time vortex. (COMIC: The Highgate Horror)

The Doctor and Clara arrived in a forest on a planet, where the TARDIS was stolen by dragons. Navigating to a nearby village, they learned from the Lord Mortigan that they were on a planet designed to resemble medieval times, with the dragons being the planet's natural inhabitants, which had been genetically modified. The dragons had been freed from being inhibited by inhibitor chips by a person known as the Dragon Lord, who aimed to wipe out the townspeople, having already killed the royalty. Although the Doctor declared his intent to leave and let the townspeople get what they "deserved" for enslaving the dragons, Clara reminded him that he shouldn't decide which lives were worth saving. The Doctor, Clara and the town's remaining lords set off to reason with the Dragon Lord. Along the way, they ran into a baby hatchling, but Lord Mortigan killed it, causing its parents to attack the party. The Doctor was separated from Clara in the chaos, and reuniting with Clara at the Red Castle, they found that the Dragon Lord had been killed, believing they would have been grateful to him for liberating them. The Doctor and Clara retrieved the TARDIS from the dragons' treasure hoard and left, calling rescue ships to evacuate the planet of humans to allow the dragons to live in peace. (COMIC: The Dragon Lord)

The Doctor and Clara were summoned by Harry Houdini and found themselves in a computer program inside a crystal ball which fed on their despair. The program set up theatrical death traps with no way out so their minds could be ripened for it, but the Doctor, Clara and Houdini escaped. The Doctor revealed the virtual environment with his sonic screwdriver. The Doctor, Clara and Houdini then fought back by imagining what made them feel the most free, which shattered the prison and returned them to the real world. They found the owner of the crystal ball prison, Diamanda, had been completely consumed by the crystal ball's power and killed. When Houdini regretted his inability to commune with the dead, the Doctor and Clara reassured him that his legacy would be remembered forever. (COMIC: Theatre of the Mind)

Wanting to raise funds for an IT suite at Coal Hill School in memory of Danny, Clara came up with the idea of a Halloween Fayre. However, few people had actually turned up. As part of the Fayre's witch hunt, the time traveller Miss Chief, intending to create mischief, brought the Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins to find Clara. When he did so, Miss Chief sent them back in time to the 17th century, where Hopkins captured Clara, in costume as the witch, throwing her into the water to see if she floated. Miss Chief saved Clara from drowning, and Clara later found a mob was accusing a woman called Agnes Leech of being a witch. Trying to save Agnes' life and prove her innocence, Clara was captured by Hopkins again. Clara and Agnes were framed as witches; imprisoned and left to starve and be deprived of sleep in solitary confinement until they confessed.

A hallucination of Danny convinced Clara to confess to being a witch and escape, rather than remain in the dungeon. Clara accidentally identified the Doctor, who had come to rescue Clara, as a witch, and both were to be executed. Miss Chief brought them back to the 21st century before they could be hanged. The Doctor and Clara convinced Miss Chief to bring them back to retrieve the TARDIS and save Agnes from the dungeons, and unwittingly brought the missing cat Smudge with them. Clara convinced the mob that Hopkins was a witch and Smudge was his familiar, but the Doctor prevented them from murdering Hopkins by sneakily putting Miss Chief's time travelling Marotte in his belt, forcing Miss Chief to save his life. The Doctor and Clara escaped and returned to Coal Hill. Because of the Doctor and Miss Chief bringing extinct animals and rare artefacts to the 21st century as part of Miss Chief's scavenger hunt game and her making superstitions coming true, the publicity from paranormal, wildlife and antique experts made Clara's fundraiser at the Halloween Fayre a success, and a few months later, Clara opened the Danny Pink IT Suite, which the Doctor was also present at. (COMIC: Witch Hunt)

At some point, Clara and the Doctor met novelist Jane Austen. Clara befriended Austen and the two would play pranks on each other (TV: Face the Raven) She once confided in her class that Austen was "a phenomenal kisser" (TV: The Magician's Apprentice), and later told Rigsy, "I love her," before teasing him with the statement, "Take that how you like." (TV: Face the Raven)

The Glory Days Edit

When all the planes of Earth were frozen, UNIT requested Clara's help due to being unable to contact the Doctor. With Clara acting on his behalf, they eventually discovered that Missy was behind the freezing of the planes. Missy proposed a meeting with Clara. However, she would not reveal how she was still alive. Clara and Missy managed to track the Doctor down to Essex in 1138, and Missy used vortex manipulators to get them there.

After finding out that the Doctor had been having a 3-week party there, they were captured by Colony Sarff who imprisoned the three in a hospital building on Skaro, and later took the Doctor to Davros. After escaping, Clara and Missy were captured by a Dalek and taken to the Supreme Dalek who ordered for their "extermination". (TV: The Magician's Apprentice)

Despite the appearance that she had been killed, Clara ended up far away from the Dalek City with Missy. The latter led them into a Dalek burial ground, where she attacked and killed a Dalek. She told Clara to get in it, and so she obliged, leading Missy through the city as her "prisoner". When she was found by the Doctor, Missy attempted to convince him that the Dalek that, in fact, was Clara had murdered Clara. In trying to convince the Doctor not to kill her, Clara caused the casing to say "mercy," rousing the Doctor's suspicions. Telling Clara how to open the casing, the Doctor found her inside it and told Missy to run. Retreating to the Dalek control room, the Doctor revealed his new sonic sunglasses and rematrialised the TARDIS around them, carrying them to safety beyond the city. Standing on a mountain, the two watched the Dalek city descend into chaos with the Doctor asking Clara how she'd caused the casing to say "mercy". When Clara confessed that she didn't know, the Doctor realised what he had to do and led her back to the TARDIS. (TV: The Witch's Familiar)

Shortly after leaving Skaro, the two fell into a trap set by the Celestial Toymaker who sought the TARDIS. Much to Clara's horror, the Doctor casually handed over his ship only to reveal to Clara that he'd merely surrendered the Zero Room, allowing the Toymaker to have his peace. (COMIC: Relative Dimensions)

She travelled with the Doctor to the Drum, an underwater mining base in Scotland, in the year 2119, where they were met with a group of murderous ghosts, who had been repeating coordinates to the location of a stasis pod inside a nearby church. After the ghosts were captured inside a Faraday cage, the pod was brought inside. Meanwhile, the ghosts' meddling with the Drum's day-night cycle caused the base to be flooded and cutting Clara off from the Doctor. As the Doctor travelled back to before the nearby town was flooded, Clara saw a ghostly Doctor outside in the water, (TV: Under the Lake) who was actually a hologram created by the Doctor's sonic sunglasses, and gave the Doctor the idea to hide in the stasis pod in 1980 to be released that night, which the Doctor told his ghostly doppelganger to do so because he was told via Clara's phone that the ghost was saying, "The chamber will open," a bootstrap paradox. The Doctor saved Clara and the Drum's crewmembers using Security Protocol 712. (TV: Before the Flood)

On another adventure with the Doctor, she spent too long in the Spider Mines and ended up with a Love Sprite crawling up her spacesuit. She was rescued by the Doctor, and they landed on Earth where they were captured by Vikings and brought to their village. Clara met Ashildr, a Viking girl, and they were transported to the spaceship of the Mire, where Ashildr foolishly declared war on the Mire and their leader, who was disguised as Odin. The Doctor trained the Vikings to fight against the Mire and used Clara's phone to record their humiliation and retreat. After returning to the TARDIS, the Doctor revealed that the Viking girl he saved, Ashildr, may have become immortal. (TV: The Girl Who Died)

Clara later asked the Doctor to help one of her students, Evie Hubbard, with her homework. As the assignment was an imaginary interview with Winston Churchill, the Doctor decided to just take Evie to meet Winston and ask him his thoughts.

When the Doctor returned for her, Clara showed him a selfie she took with Evie as a gift for helping her homework. Clara cited the Doctor basically cheated, while he defended that Evie should have stressed "imaginary". Clara was oblivious to the fact that Ashildr was in the background of her selife. (TV: The Woman Who Lived)

In her apartment building, she checked her iPhone and saw that she had missed 127 calls from the Doctor. At the top of the building's stairs, she met Sandeep, a child who lived in the building. Sandeep was sad because he couldn't find his mummy and daddy. Entering his apartment, Clara found his "mum", who was actually a Zygon. She was then attacked by the aliens and replaced with Bonnie. (TV: The Zygon Invasion)

Maintaining a live link with Bonnie inside a Zygon pod, Clara caused Bonnie to stall for long enough to allow the Doctor and Osgood to escape Boat One before it was destroyed by a rocket launcher Bonnie fired from. She then used Bonnie's fingers to secretly send a text message to the Doctor's phone to say she was still alive, and in a video call between the Doctor and Bonnie, manipulated Bonnie's eyelids to inform the Doctor that she was being kept in a tunnel under London. Bonnie successfully got the location of the Osgood Boxes in the Black Archive from Clara's mind, and Clara revealed that her body-print, and therefore Bonnie's as well, was the key to enter the Black Archive with. When the Doctor convinced both Bonnie and Kate Stewart not to use either Osgood Box, which were, in fact, both empty, he explained that Bonnie let Clara get inside her head. (TV: The Zygon Inversion)

At some point while the Doctor was off on a solo adventure, Clara took a leave of absence from Coal Hill in order to take on an English teaching job at the Scottish private school Ravenscaur, in order to investigate the disappearance of one of its teachers, Christel Dean, who had attended teaching school with Clara. She was joined by the Doctor and encouraged by him to continue her undercover work as he helped investigate, leading to the uncovering of a conspiracy involving the Sea Devils that led to the unmasking of the then-current UK prime minister as one. During this time, Clara was bemused, if not outright annoyed, by the Doctor's decision to take on what he claimed to be a new companion - a stuffed swordfish he named Sonny. During the adventure, Clara briefly gained superhuman-like powers - including the power of flight - due to the Doctor providing her with technology to augment her mental abilities in order to combat the Sea Devils, one of whom she appeared to kill by dropping a chandelier on him, a rare documented case of Clara using deadly force on anyone. Afterwards, Clara told the Doctor outright that she now considered the TARDIS her home. (COMIC: Clara Oswald and the School of Death)

The Doctor and Clara landed on the space station Le Verrier in the 38th century, where the Morpheus pods which created Sandmen on board were used by Gagan Rassmussen, the creator of Morpheus, to put on a show for dramatic effect where he sent a video of the adventure containing an encoded message that could create further Sandmen out of the sleep dust in humans' eyes throughout the solar system by altering the humans' brain chemistry.

The Doctor and Clara joined a rescue mission on Le Verrier looking for Rassmussen, but eventually got split off, until only the Doctor, Clara and Chief Nagata were left. Nagata apparently killed Rassmussen when he apparently tried to get the Sandmen to spread from Le Verrier to other planets and moons, and the Doctor blew up the station's gravity shields so that the Doctor, Clara and Nagata got past the Sandmen blocking the way to the TARDIS to get to Triton to destroy every last Morpheus pod there. (TV: Sleep No More)

When the Doctor detected strange energy emissions in London, the chase led them to a comic book store where the Doctor was outraged to discover Time Surgeon, a comic based on him and Clara, even if Clara herself was greatly amused. When she turned her head however, she found that the Doctor had disappeared with the staff showing her that everyone was being absorbed into the comics. When Clara saw Luke being absorbed, she realised that the Boneless had returned and she led Molly back to the TARDIS, following the Doctor's instructions to use the telepathic circuits to create a spatial/temporal flux that disrupted the fourth wall and returned the Boneless to their dimension. After the Doctor had gotten his new friend Natalie a job, he turned to an invisible audience and told them to leave, to Clara's visible confusion. (COMIC: The Fourth Wall)

Trap Street Edit

After Clara saved the Doctor from a marriage to a sentient plant on the "second most beautiful garden in all of time and space", they received a call from Rigsy, who had lost a day of memory and had a strange tattoo on the back of his neck. The Doctor and Clara found that the tattoo which was counting down was a chronolock counting down to Rigsy's death, because of Rigsy being accused of murder in the trap street. Clara willingly took Rigsy's chronolock to buy time, but this changed the terms of Ashildr's agreement with the Quantum Shade, and Ashildr was not able to remove it, because she had been cut out of the deal. Upon knowing the Doctor could not do anything to stop the inevitable, Clara told the Doctor not to let her demise change him, to be a doctor, and not to get revenge for her, and declared she would die and no one on Trap Street or anywhere else would suffer. The Doctor asked how he would cope with her death, and Clara replied they would both have to be brave. She chose to face her end on her own and wished the Doctor goodbye, trying to be as brave as she knew how to be. The Quantum Shade then flew to kill her. (TV: Face the Raven)

Taking the long way around Edit

The moment before her death, a later version of the Doctor had the Time Lords use an extraction chamber to freeze Clara in the moments between one heartbeat and another before her death and take her to Gallifrey. The General, believing Clara was there to help locate the Hybrid, tried to tell her that she was not really alive and would have to be returned to her own time to die after they were done with her help, but the Doctor overpowered the General and grabbed his gun. After the General refused to let them go, the Doctor made sure he could regenerate and then shot him, taking a neural block calibrated for humans with him as he fled with Clara.

The two fled into the Cloisters and the Doctor informed Clara of his time in his confession dial and his history with the Cloisters. Clara was horrified to realise it had been a very long time for the Doctor since she died and he had changed. Clara confronted the now-female General and Ohila and demanded to know how long the Doctor had been in the confession dial, learning it was four and a half billion years. She was struck speechless when she realised the depth of his caring for her. At that moment, Clara realised that she and the Doctor should say certain things to each other. After whispering a message to him, Clara turned to the General and Ohila. She refused to reveal what she had told the Doctor, except to indicate that she was a distraction so the Doctor could escape and steal another TARDIS. The Doctor materialised a new TARDIS around Clara and the Doctor and Clara fled Gallifrey.

Believing that Clara's heart would restart once they were away from Gallifrey, the Doctor was stunned to realise it hadn't. Desperate, he took her to the last five minutes of the universe, believing her heart would restart. It did not, and Clara became concerned when the Doctor shouted at her in frustration. When the Doctor left the TARDIS to talk to Ashildr, Clara used the Doctor's sonic sunglasses to activate the TARDIS scanner and watched as the Doctor and Ashildr discussed the Hybrid and Ashildr's theory that it was the Doctor and Clara together since they would do anything, including fracture time to save each other. Hearing that the Doctor planned to wipe her memory of him, Clara reversed the polarity of the neural block using the glasses. When the Doctor returned, she challenged the Doctor over his plans, demanding to be allowed to keep her memories and informing him of her sabotage. The Doctor relented, but indicated that their relationship had become too dangerous; the Doctor decided it was for the best that they were separated. Uncertain as to whether she had actually been able to reverse the polarity of the device, Clara and the Doctor agreed to push the button together and let fate decide. The Doctor and Clara activated the neural block and the Doctor's memory of Clara was erased. Before passing out, the Doctor gave Clara several pieces of advice as to how to be her own Doctor. Clara flew the TARDIS to Nevada where she dropped the Doctor off and told a man to look out for him. She then subsequently travelled to London and used the TARDIS to retrieve the Doctor's TARDIS.

Soon, Clara and Ashildr piloted their TARDIS to Nevada and used its chameleon circuit to have it take on the form of an American roadside diner. Somehow, the Doctor found himself at the diner. Clara, dressed as a waitress, listened to the Doctor's story of what happened to her and how he couldn't remember much beyond her name and bits of their adventures together. Though the Doctor believed he would recognise her if he met her, he didn't and Clara was devastated. During his visit, the Doctor played a romantic melody. Hearing him play this tune, and realising she had lost the Doctor, Clara suggested that perhaps memories become songs when they are forgotten. With the Doctor turned away and distracted by his playing, Clara opened a door at the rear of the diner, and dematerialised around the Doctor, leaving him with his own TARDIS next to him and a message on his chalk board inside stating "run you clever boy and be a doctor." Flying off, Ashildr informed Clara that their chameleon circuit was stuck and their TARDIS was stuck in the form of an American diner. Clara's heart hadn't restarted and she realised that her death was a fixed point in time and she had to die. However, Clara noted that she was now effectively immortal so she had some "wiggle room". Clara decided to return to Gallifrey to have the Time Lords return her to her death, but to go there "the long way around", going on more adventures with Ashildr. (TV: Hell Bent)

In his book concerning the saving of Gallifrey at the end of the Last Great Time War, the Curator (an aged incarnation of the Doctor from the distant future) related that Clara Oswald, who therefore "knew him of old", often popped round for tea. Out of courtesy for the Curator, Clara pretended not to know who the Curator really was and how he knew her. While reflecting on whether the Tenth Doctor had really married Elizabeth I (the competing hypothesis being that Elizabeth had instead tricked him into a false ceremony to tether him to her), the Curator asked Clara if she thought the Doctor could have been so easily bamboozled. Clara answered that she agreed it sounded far-fetched, but knew from personal experience that Elizabeth was "a fantastic kisser". (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor)

Death Edit

Despite the Doctor's attempt to change history, the death of Clara Oswald on the trap street in London became an established historical fact and a fixed point in time, a fact she had recognised upon setting out on her travels with Ashildr; she intended to someday return to Gallifrey and be put back into her time-stream by the Time Lords so that her death could proceed (TV: Hell Bent) as witnessed by the Twelfth Doctor in the Trap Street, her body falling lifeless on the cobblestones. (TV: Face the Raven)

As part of the Testimony Edit

Clara, Bill and Nardole Say Goodbye To The Twelfth Doctor Twice Upon A Time Doctor Who BBC

Like all of humankind, Clara was extracted from the point of her final death by the Testimony and her memories uploaded to the Testimony, giving her a new lease of life in New Earth's manmade "heaven".

A short time prior to the Twelfth Doctor's regeneration, Bill Potts decided to "prove to him how important memories were". Bill allowed Clara to take her place inside the glass avatar she was occupying, noting that the glass avatars "could be everyone… were everyone". In this guise, Clara restored the Doctor's memories of her through a kiss on the cheek. The Doctor was pleased to remember Clara again and before disappearing, the avatar ordered the Doctor not to forget her again. Afterwards, the avatar reverted to the appearance of Bill Potts. (TV: Twice Upon a Time) Upon regaining his memories of Clara, the Doctor believed that she had faced her raven in the end, but doubtless in a surprising way and with style. He also thought that Clara might have defeated that raven and eventually found an entirely different one that ultimately claimed her. The Doctor noted that Clara was "smirking as if she had, anyway." (PROSE: Twice Upon a Time)

Legacy Edit

During the period when he was searching for the original Clara, the Eleventh Doctor painted a detailed portrait of the Clara Oswin Oswald echo. (TV: The Bells of Saint John)

Rigsy later painted a memorial for her on the TARDIS doors, which included a portrait of Clara. (TV: Face the Raven) It was still there when Clara and Ashildr dropped off the TARDIS in Nevada for the Doctor, but the Doctor had now forgotten her. As the TARDIS dematerialised, the mural he painted disintegrated, (TV: Hell Bent) though some flakes of paint remained from the portrait. (TV: The Husbands of River Song)

After Clara's death, the Twelfth Doctor continued to speak to her and ask her what she would do while he was inside his confession dial. He had hallucinations of writings on the TARDIS blackboard writing by itself and briefly, an apparition of Clara herself. She told the Doctor to "Get up off your arse, and win." A "very old" painting of Clara also appeared inside the tower in the Doctor's confession dial. (TV: Heaven Sent)

While visiting the diner in Nevada, the Doctor began playing a melody that he apparently composed. The song, he said, was titled "Clara". Later, Clara suggested that some memories become songs when they are forgotten, in reference to this piece of music. (TV: Hell Bent)

When a Time Lord author reflected on the events surrounding the coup against Rassilon and the Doctor's latest absconding of Gallifrey, he theorised that the Doctor's love for Clara caused the two of them together to be the Hybrid of Gallifreyan legend. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)

While the Doctor recalled saving Jess Collins' life in Highgate Cemetery and having prevented the Corvids from being unleashed on Earth, he failed to remember that Clara was with him at the time. Jess mentioned that if it wasn't for the Doctor and Clara, Jess would be dead. The Doctor was also unclear as to who Jess was referring to when she asked him where Clara was. (COMIC: The Pestilent Heart)

The Twelfth Doctor specifically noticed the name "Oswald. C." on a Roll of Honours board at the renovated Coal Hill Academy. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)

Clara's association with the Doctor was such that when Sonny Robinson created Time Surgeon, based on urban legends about the Doctor, the eponymous character's assistant, Nurse Kara, was based on Clara. (COMIC: Invasion of the Mindmorphs)

Whilst communicating with his previous and immediate future selves via the TARDIS' telepathic circuits, the Twelfth Doctor responded with bewilderment upon hearing the Eleventh Doctor mention Clara. (WC: Doctors Assemble!)

When the Doctor was about to wipe the memories of Bill Potts, Bill asked how he would feel if someone did it to him. The Doctor then told Bill to leave before he changed his mind before later inviting her to join him on his travels. (TV: The Pilot) Shortly before regenerating, the Doctor briefly recalled Clara's face, without knowing whose face it was. (TV: The Doctor Falls)

The Encyclopedia Gallifreya contained files on Clara and all of her splinters directly encountered by the Doctor. (PROSE: Citation Needed)

Splinters Edit

Because of her interaction with the Doctor's timeline, Clara Oswald met the Doctor in many forms, each time being born and dying. She met and saved the lives of the Doctor's first twelve incarnations (excluding his war incarnation). She noted, however, that he rarely ever noticed her. (TV: The Name of the Doctor) However, Clara realised that not all of these splinters died after saving the Doctor, and many lived their own lives. (COMIC: Blood and Ice)

Her many lives and encounters with the Doctor included, but were certainly not limited to:

At one point after Amy Pond and Rory Williams were sent to the past in New York City, an elderly echo of Clara noticed that Amy had a similar "glow" about her that the Doctor had, but Amy's was fading. She decided to follow Amy, in case she ever needed help. One Fall, when Amy and Rory vacationed at Lake Erie, Amy finally spoke to her and the echo asked her to pass on a message: "Run you clever boy, and remember..." Amy later wrote about this encounter in a foreword to an edition of her book Summer Falls, addressing it to the Doctor; her description of the encounter and her quoting of Clara leaves it unclear as to whether this echo ever actually encountered the Doctor. (PROSE: Summer Falls and Other Stories)

Oswin Oswald Edit

In one of her lives in which the Doctor did notice her, she went by the name Oswin Oswald. She once claimed that the first boy whom she ever fancied was called Rory, but quickly admitted that "actually, she was called Nina. I was going through a phase."

At some point, Oswin joined the starliner Alaska's crew as Junior Entertainment Manager to see the universe. When th
