goldy_dollar who I fear is either going to hurt something or develop a twitch soon. This is a post to love on the main companions of New Who.
The one rule - you do not get to make any negative comments about anyone. I have my own character quibbles about all three of them, but this isn't the place for that. This is a love post! :D If your comment is "I like so-and-so, BUT...[insert analysis of their flaws]..." I will delete it! Mwahahahaha.
Rose is Awesome
Rose is the most changed of the three. When first we see her, she's this teen-going-on-adult who's stuck in her life - in a dead-end job, just plodding along. By the end, she's someone who's crossing universes, helping rig up time machines and leading military types.
She wanders off and is jeopardy-friendly, jumping into things with varying results. (Sound like anyone we know?) But unlike that certain someone we know, Rose often followed her heart more than anything. She cared about the people she met. And following her heart led her back to the other universe.
She's someone who wound up being very emotionally tied to the Doctor - something that went both ways. She even merged with the time vortex at one point just to save him.
Martha is Awesome
With Martha there wasn't so much a change in character, as her own realization of her worth. She was always strong and smart and capable. She didn't need to grow into that, but rather just needed to discover it in herself.
At first Martha's attracted to the flash of the whole thing - the car and its driver are what interest her - but she begins to see this giant universe open up. And there are things even more important to her than that flash.
She had to deal with things like racism and rejection, but they didn't defeat her. She traveled the Earth for an entire year, enduring an incredibly hard life, and she still wasn't defeated. Even as the Master had captured her, ready to kill her - still not defeated.
Donna is Awesome
Donna needed a bit of both - from when we first see her, she needed to grow as a person, but she also needed to realize she was worth something. Unfortunately things went a bit off the rails for her ending, which is why I hope her story is not quite over.
Anyway, Donna realized there was a lot more to the universe before even finding the Doctor back. Things were big and important, and Donna got that. She wanted to be a part of it.
She offered unconditional friendship to the Doctor - something he desperately needs now. She even sacrificed her own life in order to right a timeline.
