Melanie Bush

Companion to both the Sixth and Seventh Doctors. She originally came from Pease Pottage, Sussex, andhad virtually total recall memory. She met the Sixth Doctor in an unrecorded adventure. Afterwards, she very likely experienced a number of other unrecorded adventures, which later became part of an alternate time line, after the Sixth Doctor was pulled out of time and space to be tried by a corrupt Time Lord High Council. The only recorded adventure of that period was introduced as evidence by the Doctor at his Trial. It showed the Doctor and Mel rematerializing aboard the Hyperion III space liner en route from Mogar to Earth. There, they helped save its crew from the Vervoids. The Master then pulled Mel out of time and space and sent her (with Sabalom Glitz) to the Trial to help the Doctor defeat the Valeyard. Soon afterwards, the Rani caused the Doctor's TARDIS to crash on Lakertya, causing him to regenerate. Mel then helped the Seventh Doctor defeat the Rani. She fought alongside him against Kroagnon, Gavrok and his Bannermen and Kane, the evil master of Iceworld. There, she met Ace, and Glitz again, and helped find the Dragonfire. She then decided to go with Glitz on the Nosferatu II.
