Rose Noble is a character in the Doctor Who 60th anniversary special, first appearing in “The Star Beast.” She’s the daughter of Shaun Temple and former companion Donna Noble. She is transgender, specifically non-binary femme. She runs a small business creating alien toys to make money for her parents, who donated their lottery winnings to charity. Rose has always felt different, which allows her to sympathize with the Meep. Combined with her memories of aliens and the TARDIS, it’s revealed she inherited part of her mother’s suppressed meta-crisis. This also influenced her choice of name – a nod to Rose Tyler. When Rose acknowledges her existence outside the binary, she’s able to save her mother’s life, and the two let go of the meta-crisis together. Transgender actress Yasmin Finney portrays this role.

The 15th Doctor is the current iteration of the Doctor in Doctor Who. You may recognize his actor, Ncuti Gatwa, from his role in Sex Education as Eric Effiong. He is the product of the first ever bi-generation, splitting from the 14th Doctor. With bright colors – mainly browns and oranges – the 15th Doctor is all about flamboyant fashion. This is his official outfit, but we’ve already received sneak peeks of his future stylings. We’ve also gotten a look at his new sonic screwdriver!

Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) is a character in Doctor Who. She was a former companion of the 10th doctor. Sassy and defiant, Donna was his best friend. After absorbing the meta crisis, she became DoctorDonna, a human with the mind of a Time Lord. Yet knowing this would kill her, the Doctor erased her memories of their adventures. Later, the 14th doctor meets Donna again, along with her new husband and daughter, Rose. In passing some of the meta crisis onto her daughter, she’s able to survive and befriend the Doctor again. Now they’re traveling together like old times.

The 14th Doctor is the current iteration of the Doctor. When the 13th Doctor regenerated at Durdle Door, the next incarnation took on a familiar face – aka David Tennant, who previously portrayed the 10th Doctor. Both fans and the Time Lord alike were baffled. The three episode special for the 60th anniversary features the 14th Doctor and another familiar face – Donna Noble, a former companion of the 10th doctor. Ncuti Gatwa will portray the 15th Doctor, but as Riversong says – spoilers!

Graham O’Brien (Bradley Walsh) is a character in the British sci-fi series, Doctor Who. He is a retired bus driver who once battled cancer. He becomes a companion to the 13th doctor alongside Yasmin Khan and Ryan Sinclair (his grandson). When the three, along with his wife, Grace, are passengers on a train, a strange creature attacks them. The Doctor steps in to save the day and Graham helps her battle the coils and its controller. Unfortunately their victory results in the death of his wife. At first the Doctor plans to teleport everyone back home, but Graham decides to travel with the Doctor to process his grief. His archetype as an “everyman” character makes him personable and generally well liked.

Yasmin “Yaz” Khan (Mandip Gill) is a character in the British sci-fi series, Doctor Who. She is a companion of the 13th doctor alongside Graham O’Brien and Ryan Sinclair (former classmate). At age nineteen, she is the youngest of Team TARDIS. On duty as a probationary police officer, she reunited with Ryan after the report of a strange pod. When his grandmother calls, Yaz accompanies Ryan to help and they both meet the Doctor. She helps the Doctor solve problems with her investigative skills and reassure victims of trauma. Yaz usually sports a fun hairstyle, such as braids or space buns.

Ryan Sinclair (Tosin Cole) is a character in the British sci-fi series, Doctor Who. He was a companion to the 13th Doctor alongside Yasmin Khan (former classmate at primary school) and Graham O’Brien (his grandfather). Ryan worked at a warehouse to earn enough money to go to school and become a mechanic. His dyspraxia made his job difficult. While learning to cycle with his grandparents, Ryan fell off and threw the bicycle into the woods out of anger. Upon retrieving it from a tree, he discovered a glowing symbol and summoned a strange pod. He called the police and reunited with Yasmin, now as a police officer. His grandmother, Grace, called him for help on the train. When she dies, Ryan battles his dyspraxia in her honor. Despite his impulsive behavior, Ryan learned to obey the Doctor’s rules and understand her way of thinking.

Idris (Suranne Jones) is a character from the British sci-fi show Doctor Who. She appears in the episode “The Doctor’s Wife.” An evil force called The House removes the matrix, or consciousness, of the TARDIS and places it in Idris’s body. Possessed with the memories and knowledge of the TARDIS, she helps the Eleventh Doctor prevent House from escaping with the actual time machine. Her design is inspired by the Victorian era. Use hot glue to attach the two bows on your chest in a vertical fashion. Wrap the brown cardigan around your waist, tying the two sleeves in the front and letting the rest drape on the skirt. Use bobby pins to style the wig into an updo — the messier the better. Pair this costume with a bit of blush and lipstick and you’re ready to meet the Doctor!
