Vicki

Vicki Pallister was a companion of the First Doctor.

She was a young woman whom the Doctor, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright met at sixteen years of age at most,[1] soon after the Doctor's granddaughter Susan Foreman was left behind on 22nd century Earth. Having lost both her parents in relatively quick succession, she decided to join the three time travellers on their adventures. Once the two teachers left the TARDIS, she travelled for a period with Steven Taylor, before leaving the Doctor's side to marry Troilus and to take the name Cressida, which was used during the Trojan War.

Vicki was born on Earth. (TV: The Rescue) Her father was Lieutenant Commander (PROSE: The Eleventh Tiger) Newton Pallister (AUDIO: The Crash of the UK-201) of the Merchant Space Marine. (PROSE: The Eleventh Tiger) Her mother wanted to name her Tanni, but her father preferred Vicki. As a girl, she lived in Liddell Towers on the South Circular Road in New London, where she enjoyed looking at the stars at night, though they were so faint they could hardly be seen. (PROSE: Byzantium!)

Her full name was simply Vicki, as opposed to Victoria. (TV: The Rescue)

As a student of a 25th century school system, she studied medicine one hour a week. By the age of ten, she had obtained certificates in medicine, physics, computers, chemistry and other disciplines. (TV: The Web Planet) While at school, she also studied 20th century history, (AUDIO: The Suffering) astronomy (AUDIO: Starborn) and temporal paradoxes. (PROSE: The Schoolboy's Story)

When she was young, she lived near a castle. When Vicki and her friends discovered a buried ring in a nearby field, they joked that if they pulled the ring, "something awful" would come out of the castle. (TV: The Chase)
