i thought maybe she was ruby's birth mum somehow but i'm not sureee now. or maybe she's the equivalent of mrs. figg from harry potter where she watches over ruby from some higherorg. :3

All the discussions of birth mothers makes me wonder if perhaps she's the Doctor's mother. They made a point of mentioning he also was a foundling.

Hmm, maybe. She does seem to be aware of multiple dimensions (breaking the fourth wall at the end there).

[–] halm@leminal.space 2 points 10 months ago

Or, at the very least, relative dimensions — maybe even in space 🙂

I wouldn't mind that a ton, honestly, given that Chibnall ripped off the bandaid of the Doctor's past after Moffat hinted at his being an orphan, and after all RTD also started all the speculation about the Doctor's mother back in "End of Time".
