Rough, loud, and impatient, Donna is perhaps the most abrasive companion on this list, and yet she also has remarkable depth. An average teenage shopgirl with the potential to save the universe, Rose was meant to be the surrogate for the audience, the way to usher new and old fans alike into the newly resurrected Whoniverse.
In Rose, the Doctor found a person he relied on for her help in adventures, sure, but also someone he connected with romantically, emotionally.
She gets massive points for taking a dip into the time vortex, nearly killing herself in the process, and for managing the Doctor in his transition from Nine to Ten. And lest we forget, poor boyfriend Mickey! Left in the dust by a dashing time-traveling alien. When he gets his timetable mixed up and shows up over a decade late, he meets a different Amy, an older, more cynical Amy who was told her magical raggedy man was only imaginary.
She has a mean streak born out of her defensiveness and occasional insecurity. But Amy and Rory, as a duo, make up the perfect companion — and a totally unique one at that. In fact, the begrudging boyfriend is its own trope in the show, best represented by Mickey Smith and Danny Pink. But when Rory joins the adventure, he does so out of love and concern for Amy first and foremost, but then comes into his own as a hero.
The first version of her we met was a widow, left to scrimp and save on her own with baby Rose after her husband Pete was killed in a hit-and-run. Then we encountered another Jackie in a parallel world who seemed to be doing a bit better for herself — Pete was alive, and they were filthy rich. But with a Jackie in one universe and a Pete in another, not even a whopping great void of nothingness could keep them apart. Bill Potts found her romantic life taking a random turn when she met a girl called Heather with a star-shaped iris, who seemed to like her but had a kind of melancholy wanderlust.
Plot twist! Heather had been taken over by living fluid from an alien ship — it wanted to get away and so did she, so they were a perfect match. There was a happy ending though!
These two made for a highly comedic duo, being somewhat of a sweet and salty mix for those around them. More humorously, Clara started preparing cue cards for him, something he employed in his adventures in order to learn how to be empathetic toward others. Although his execution of these cue cards was all wrong, at least both of them complemented each other's quirks well. This was a turning point in the relationship between the Twelfth Doctor and Clara, as it highlighted just how much she meant to him that he was willing to let time and space be threatened for her sake.
While Clara expected the Doctor to cut her out of his life, he instead instantly forgave her, claiming she was too important to him that even her betrayal meant nothing. In this episode, she convinced him to pose as her boyfriend to her family, which he was happy to do. Yet, the cheery attitude the two shared showed how even kooky moments involving these two were charming.
Relationships are always a work in progress, and sometimes it takes a reminder from the past to set people on the same page once again. After wondering if she really knew who he was anymore following his regeneration, Clara received a call from the past. Here, the Doctor reminded her that he needed her more than ever, and while she was scared, he would be even more fearful without her. And so, revitalized with the knowledge that he did care for her, Clara gave the new Doctor the first of many hugs he awkwardly took.
