Portia Da Costa Biography & Facts

This is a list of fictional characters who were companions of the Doctor, in various spin-off media based on the long-running British science fiction television series, Doctor Who. A Amy Amy, portrayed by Ciara Janson, is a companion of the Fifth Doctor in the Key 2 Time series, which includes the plays The Judgement of Isskar, The Destroyer of Delights and The Chaos Pool. She is a human "tracer", a device designed to track down the segments of the Key to Time across the universe. When the Doctor meets Amy, she is just a few seconds old and recruits the Doctor as her companion to find the Key. At the end of The Chaos Pool, Romana invites Amy to live on Gallifrey and enroll in their Academy. Amy (now renamed Abby) and her sister Zara return in their own mini-series Graceless. Antimony Antimony was a companion of the Seventh Doctor and appeared in the webcast story Death Comes to Time by Colin Meek (widely understood to be a pseudonym for Dan Freedman). At the start of the story, the listener was not aware of the circumstances of his and the Doctor's meeting. Antimony appeared to be a young humanoid male who was slightly unworldly and naive, for example believing there were still Allosauruses roaming the Earth. During Antimony and the Doctor's battle against the renegade Time Lord, General Tannis, it was revealed that Antimony was in fact an android constructed by the Doctor. The Doctor in Death Comes to Time was very old and, saddened by the death and departure of many companions, had built Antimony as a companion who would never leave him. Tannis totally destroyed Antimony, leaving the Doctor grief-stricken over Antimony's death. Kevin Eldon provided the voice of Antimony. The illustrations, by Lee Sullivan, depicted Antimony as a humanoid with purplish skin, nonetheless bearing a slight resemblance to Eldon. Antranak Antranak was the name Erimem gave to the stray cat she brought aboard the Fifth Doctor's TARDIS at the end of The Eye of the Scorpion. Erimem had adopted the cat, who had in the course of events absorbed a malevolent alien intelligence harmlessly into its mind. Erimem and Peri were quite fond of the cat, the Doctor less so. Antranak departed in Nekromanteia, swapping places with the non-corporeal manifestation of a being called Shara, thereby saving the planet Talderun from destruction. The Doctor later wondered if the alien creature in the cat's mind forced him to act. Erimem, however, remained firm in her belief that her noble cat sacrificed himself of his own accord. ARC ARC was an alien creature who travelled with the Eleventh Doctor, Alice Obiefune and John Jones in several 2014/2015 Titan Comics stories.

However, she learns to respect the Doctor when she sees him develop a cure for a mutating plague sweeping London where her supervisor Nimrod explicitly modified the cure to kill those infected, and ultimately orders the final destruction of the Forge.
