CHARACTER NAME: Sarah Jane Smith
SERIES: Doctor Who/The Sarah Jane Adventures (Character history. Because Doctor Who is kinda massive.)
CANON POINT: After the final episode of SJA
AGE: Roughly 60 (Depends on when exactly the last season of SJA was set)
APPEARANCE: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0e/Sarah_Jane_Smith_2006.jpg

PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY: N/A

PERSONALITY: Sarah Jane is at her heart a reporter. She has never been able to resist investigating any mystery that comes her way. She initially met the Doctor because she was certain that the mysterious think tank her aunt had been invited to would yield a good story. This driving curiosity has stayed with her ever since. Though it took her a bit of time to figure out what to do with herself after being left back on Earth, she eventually fell back on investigation and finding that there were plenty of alien goings on right under her nose to keep her busy. Her first instinct will be to investigate everything about the ship. She is accustomed to strange things happening, it’s only natural that she shake off any initial confusion and set to work trying to determine what’s really going on.

In her youth Sarah Jane was very physically demonstrative, with a tendency to hold hands with everyone who wasn’t actively trying to kill her. After being left on Earth and getting involved in her personal alien dealings, she tended to be a bit more withdrawn. Given the dangerous nature of her work, she was unwilling to involve others. However, after Maria involved herself in her life whether she wanted her to or not, leading to Sarah Jane adopting Luke, she began letting people back in. And hugging a lot. That said, she is constantly aware of the danger her work presents to her young companions and is rather protective of all of them.

More specific than that, she's also a devoted, though unusual, mother. She will miss her children dearly, though ultimately take comfort in the fact that the ship is no place for them. She doesn't do well with very young children, finding babies merely “rubbery”, but tends to do quite well with the eight and up crowd. She tends to be very approachable, assuming she doesn't just go nosing around first.


Sarah Jane has a great distaste for resorting to violent resolution of problems. Although this is partially motivated by the youth of her companions, it goes back further than that. She simply believes that there is a better way. Whenever possible, she prefers to find a peaceful solution to conflict. In her experience, there are considerably more aliens who are simply lost and confused than who actually mean the Earth harm. Even when faced with violent opponents, she usually manages to find a clever way of sending them packing without resorting to heavy firepower. However, there have been occasions where, despite her best efforts, she has needed to resort to lethal force. These occasions do not sit easily with her.

Sarah Jane is a staunch feminist, as demonstrated by the fact that one her first adventure, she attempted to spark women’s lib in a medieval kitchen. Admirable, though probably not the best thing for the timeline. This is rooted in the simple fact that she knows herself to be every bit as competent as a man. This does not stop her from forming close friendships with old fashioned men such as Harry Sullivan, but she doesn’t let their friendship mean he can get away with being patronizing.

ABILITIES:
The closest thing she has to any sort of unusual ability is a strong resistance to mind control. She was hypnotized so many times in her travels with the Doctor that it simply... stopped working.

Sarah Jane is skilled at breaking and entering. It's not espionage if it's journalism! And she's one of the top journalists in England. She's also very adept at figuring out unfamiliar technology because of her extensive experience with alien investigation. Additionally, she has shown aptitude at constructing various devices.

While she abhors violence, she was actually a very good shot with firearms in her youth. This ability is most likely somewhat rusty. She also knows Venusian karate.

And of course, as a former companion to the Doctor, she is very good at running.

POSSESSIONS:
Clothing (Jacket, blouse, trousers)
Sonic Lipstick (It's like the Doctor's sonic screwdriver, but disguised as lipstick. It... well, basically does what the plot demands, but for this purpose will be limited to opening lockss, setting up resonance frequencies and putting up shelves rather quickly)
Watch (Reads energy signatures)
Wallet (Complete with pictures of her kids because keeping those on her phone is impractical with how often it gets smashed)

THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE:

It was a tight spot. There was no arguing with that. But it was clear from the moment they tried to use hypnosis that these invaders didn't know who they were dealing with. That wasn't terribly unusual. The Doctor tended to get the most attention for foiling alien invasions on Earth, leaving her attic setup to operate relatively unnoticed.
She preferred it that way. Bad enough that the kids got caught up in things when they willingly went into danger with her. Imagine if your average alien invader knew enough to target them at school.

So no, she wasn't surprised that they had underestimated her. But searching her pockets and leaving her lipstick? That was just sloppy.

It was simple enough to wait for them to leave her unattended. She clearly had more experience with this sort of thing than they did, the patterns were too easy to pick up on. A quick bit of sonic and she was out and free to get back to investigating.

The priorities had shifted a bit, of course. Now she had to find Sky and Luke before she continued. The invaders had, at least, had the good sense to confiscate their mobiles. An inconvenience she was rather accustomed to. There was a reason she had an attic full of alien technology and a fairly outdated phone.

She didn't make it far before she heard tapping. Oddly regular tapping.

Morse code. She did have brilliant children.
