Editing Romana (Doctor Who) (section)

===Novels===
In the licensed [[Virgin New Adventures]] novel ''[[Blood Harvest (Dicks novel)|Blood Harvest]]'' by [[Terrance Dicks]], Romana II leaves E-Space and returns to Gallifrey with the help of the [[Seventh Doctor]].  In ''[[Goth Opera]]'' by [[Paul Cornell]], from the complementary [[Virgin Missing Adventures|Missing Adventures]] series, she is given a seat on the High Council of Time Lords. In [[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]]' ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'', also by Cornell, it is revealed that Romana has become Lady President of [[Gallifrey]]. Romana's presidency is reflected in the later novels and in her appearances (voiced by Ward) in audio dramas from [[Big Finish Productions]]. She also makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'' in a vision.  Romana appears in the unlicensed [[fan fiction]] novel ''[[Time's Champion]]'', in the role of President of the Time Lords.

Romana's appearance in the 1997 novel ''The Eight Doctors''- where she helps the newly regenerated [[Eighth Doctor]] rescue his fourth incarnation from a group of vampires in the aftermath of ''[[State of Decay (Doctor Who)|State of Decay]]''- was highlighted in a trailer for the re-launched ''Doctor Who'' range which was included on a number of BBC videos in 1997–8. The trailer used a clip from ''[[Destiny of the Daleks]]'' to illustrate Romana.

Romana's time with the Doctor is also explored in several novels, which include additional adventures for her first incarnation when outside forces divert their efforts to find the Key to Time and general adventures for her second incarnation prior to departing in E-space.

====Romana III====

In the [[BBC Books]] [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novels, Romana undergoes a second regeneration, and her new incarnation (Romana III, whose appearance was modelled on silent movie actress [[Louise Brooks]]) is far less sympathetic and far more ruthless than the other two. This third incarnation pursues the Eighth Doctor in a story arc relating to the Future War, a War between the Time Lords and an as-yet-unidentified enemy, seeking to use his new companion [[Compassion (Doctor Who)|Compassion]] – who has been unintentionally mutated into a Type 102 TARDIS in the aftermath of the destruction of the Doctor's own ship – as breeding stock for the new sentient TARDISes in the Future War. With the Doctor refusing to allow the Time Lords to make Compassion a slave, he, Compassion and fellow companion [[Fitz Kreiner]] go on the run between ''[[The Shadows of Avalon]]'' and ''[[The Ancestor Cell]]'', the final confrontation on board the Doctor's believed-destroyed original TARDIS resulting in the obliteration of [[Gallifrey]] and the apparent retroactive wiping out of the Time Lords from history. A flashback in the final [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novel ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (2005 novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'' suggests that Romana is killed by [[Faction Paradox]] skulltroopers just before Gallifrey's destruction. However, it is hinted in ''[[Tomb of Valdemar]]'' by Simon Messingham that Romana may be one of a few Time Lords who survived this cataclysm, possibly in a fourth incarnation and ''The Gallifrey Chronicles'' itself suggests that the Doctor will eventually restore Gallifrey and all the dead Time Lords whose minds are stored in the Matrix, in time for its destruction again in the [[Time War (Doctor Who)|Time War]].
