Barbara Wright

One of the First Doctor's companions and a history teacher at Coal Hill School. She and Ian Chesterton were drawn into the TARDIS by their curiosity at the advanced knowledge exhibited by one of their students, Susan.  They then accompanied the First Doctor on a series of adventures, during which Barbara met cavemen, the Daleks, Marco Polo, the Voord and the Sensorites.  She was hailed by the Aztecs as the reincarnation of Yetaxa, then became temporatily miniaturized to ant size.  Later, she helped rescue Vicki, was captured by Roman slave traders and fought the Zarbi, and almost became part of El Akir's harem in Palestine. After being pursued through time and space by the Daleks, she and Ian eventually decided to return to London in the Dalek Time Machine captured by the Doctor.   They arrived two years after they had left.
