The Doctor first met Katarina when she was a little girl living near Troy. She spoke to him of her ambition to serve as handmaid to a priestess because her poor family could not afford to feed her any longer. The Doctor gave them a gold coin to alleviate their poverty but, on learning Katarina’s name, he realised that she would die young (as he had already witnessed it in his personal timeline). (An Unfulfilled Dream, The Daleks’ Master Plan)
As a young woman, Katarina served Cassandra, princess of Troy. She was little more than a slave. In circa 1200 BC, Cassandra sent her to spy on the First Doctor and his friends, particularly Vicki Pallister, known to her as Cressida, to gather evidence she was a Greekspy. To this end, Katarina befriended Vicki, who sent her to help The Doctor get Steven back to the TARDIS after a spear thrust had badly injured him. Katarina tended to Steven’s wounds. She joined Steven and the Doctoron their travels. (The Myth Makers)
Katarina came from a simple time and never truly understood where she was or what was happening to her. She mistook the TARDIS for the Palace of Perfection and the Doctor for the god Zeus, come to take heron a journey in his temple to the real Palace of Perfection. Despite The Doctor’s protestations to the contrary, she remained set in this belief.
When the criminal Kirksen held Katarina hostage in an airlock to blackmail The Doctor into returning Mavic Chen’s ship, the Spar, to the planet Kembel and the Daleks, she deliberately activated the airlock door and expelled herself and Kirksen into space, causing their deaths in the vacuum. She was certain her death had been foretold and that she was doomed to die. (The Daleks’ Master Plan)
AFTERMATH
After The Doctor had defeated the Daleks, Steven said that he had seen too much death lately, the sacrifice of Katarina weighed on his mind, among others. (
Much later, on the ruined world of Adeki, the
While in the Divergent Universe, the Eighth Doctor was shown an illusion of Katarina by the Kro’ka. He stated that he regretted taking Katarina from her own time and giving her hope, only for her to be killed shortly afterwards. (The Last)
Adrianne Hill sadly died on 6th October 1997
