R ~ Romana
Romana, short for Romanadvoratrelundar, is a fictional character in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. A Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, she was a companion of the Fourth Doctor.
As a Time Lord, Romana was able to regenerate, having two on screen incarnations with somewhat different personalities (dubbed Romana I and Romana II by fans). Romana I was played by Mary Tamm from 1978 to 1979. When Tamm became pregnant and chose not to sign on for a second season, the part was recast. Romana II was played by Lalla Ward from 1979 to 1981.
Romana remains one of only two members of the Doctor's own race to travel with him during the entire television series and the only explicit female Time Lord companion. The other member of his race to travel with him was Susan Foreman, the Doctor's granddaughter, and Susan was never explicitly designated as a Time Lord.
