Canon
Name: The Rani ; Ushas (A name used at the Academy)
Age:953 (reference; Time and the Rani)
Species:Gallifreyan; sub-species Timelord Lady
Planet of Origin:(Gallifrey
Occupation: A renegade Time Lady, the Rani was exiled from Gallifrey shortly after graduation from the academy due to her love of science which went wrong, or more accurately, when her love of science allowed an experiment to go wrong and caused an accident with a rat growing larger then the President's cat and eating said cat.
Physical Description: The Rani is a tall, lithe woman with high cheekbones. She is somewhat tanned and has long brown hair that falls to her shoulders. Her hair when not pulled back rests in curls although at times her hair is straightened. Her frame is thin, and she has curves in all the right places.
Personality: An evil or more likely, immoral, scientific genius. Her villainy comes not from the usual variety of lust for power and suchlike, but from a mindset that treats everything as secondary to her research; she has been known to enslave entire worlds in order to have a ready supply of experimental subjects and a place to carry out her experiments uninterrupted. Her major interest is in tinkering with the biochemistry of other species.
While she did appear evil, she found the Master to be truly evil and therefore stupid. She simply does evil things because she feels it is necessary to her work. When the Sixth Doctor tried to convince her not to experiment on humans, she called them carnivores and asked if they ever thought of the lesser species when they sunk their teeth into pork chops. This shows that the Rani may have a conscience of some kind, also shown when she was willing to destroy her test subjects because they would've killed the Doctor.
History: The Rani was the same age as the Doctor. On the planet Gallifrey, at the Academy, she belonged to a clique of ten young people who called themselves the Deca. Both the First Doctor and her other future enemy Koschei (later the Master) belonged to this group. Her name was given as Ushas.
At their graduation, there was an incident involving her and a giant rat. Infact, unlike the other members of The Deca, she did not choose to leave Gallifrey but was exiled from the planet after some of her lab mice, as a result of an experiment, grew to enormous size and ate the President's pet cat.
While she did not have much, if any fondness for the Earth reffing to it as a "miserable planet", it was the focus of several of her research projects.
When the test subjects on Miasimia Goria, a planet she had enslaved, became violently restless and uncontrollable as a side effect of her experiments on them, the Rani visited Earth at various points in its history to extract chemicals from the brains of select human specimens. Because the chemicals in question enabled the human brain to sleep, and because the absence of these chemicals made her victims as violent and uncontrollable as those from her previous experiments, she deliberately chose periods of social unrest to visit, using the violence to conceal her presence and its consequences. She visited the Trojan War, the Dark Ages, the American War of Independence, and finally the Luddite riots in the village of Killingworth during the early 19th century.
The Master and, shortly after, the Sixth Doctor interrupted her work. The Doctor sabotaged the navigational system of the Rani's TARDIS, trapping the Master and the Rani inside as a time spillage caused a Tyrannosaur embryo, which she'd collected at an earlier trip to Earth, to grow at a dangerous rate.
Shortly afterwards, from the Doctor's subjective point of view, the Rani was also trapped along with the Sixth Doctor on Terra Nova, which the entity known as Iam had created. She had in the meantime tried and failed to manipulate the political situation existing between the three children of that reality's version of Cleopatra.
On the planet Tetrapyriarbus, the Rani made the acquaintance of, and decided to employ, the Tetraps, led byUrak. With them, she invaded the peaceful planet Lakertya and put into motion a complex plan. The Rani abducted eleven scientific geniuses from across time and space, including Albert Einstein of Earth. Finally, she decided to "collect" the Doctor and attacked his TARDIS, causing the ship to go through turbulence and hit his head, triggering a regeneration into his Seventh Incarnation.
The Rani channeled the intellects of the geniuses into a giant artificial brain which she believed could find the secret to manipulating strange matter, the key to making the planet of Lakertya into a Time Manipulator in order to correct what she considered to be errors in the universal timeline. Her first target was to be Earth, where she would prevent the extinction of the dinosaurs, creatures whose full potential she felt had never been truly realised. She considered the death of the native Lakertyans a small price to pay.
She used the artificial brain to find the answer as to how to create a lightweight substitute for strang matter, when it was devised she sent a missile containing the substance aimed at a strange matter astroid. However, the Doctor destroyed the brain and redirected the missile. Urak betrayed her, leading the Tertraps against her, they placed her under house arrest (in her TARDIS) on Tetrapyriarbus.
Additional medical information None that she is aware of.
