I adore Donna. Didn’t like her in Runaway Bride, groaned when I heard she was going to be the new companion- but patiently waited with faith that they’d make her lovable. And oh, did they ever! I love that it’s ok for her to change her mind, and it doesn’t make her “weak” or “womanly”- she didn’t want to travel with the Doctor, but reconsidered , set the goal of finding him and accomplishing some good in the process, and succeeded. She wanted to experience the song, but it was ok that she didn’t want to keep hearing it. Life is all about making decisions, trying new things- there’s no rule that you have to like and continue with everything you’re willing to try. She doesn’t have money or social status or the many things so many people need t define themselves- but she’s completely confident in who she is, bold, brave and full of heart. And that, I think, makes her an excellent role model.
Doesn't mean I love anybody else any less. Just means she formed a new room in my heart.
