character information
● name: Bill Potts
● canon: Doctor Who
● canon point: in between S10E07, "The Pyramid at the End of the World" and S10E08, "The Lie of the Land"
● age: approximately 26

● (canon) background: Wiki link
● (original) world: n/a

● abilities: Bill is a normal human who possesses no abnormal abilities.

● strengths:

• Inquisitive - Bill is intelligent. She actively seeks out knowledge, reading books on the Ninth Legion, attending university lectures even though she's not enrolled as a student. That is how she initally met the Doctor, and he saw in her potential for a brilliant mind. Bill makes logical leaps and conclusions in a way that most people don't, through her own unique experience and perspective.
  
  
• Genre-Savvy - Bill is a fan of popular science fiction, and being as she exists in a universe with time travel and aliens, that knowledge comes into play. She has a suspension of disbelief that allows her to accept the unbelievable things she witnesses on her travels with the Doctor, and her knowledge of sci-fi tropes has saved her more than once. She uses the lessons she's learned from books and movies to navigate the crazy worlds the TARDIS brings her to.
  
  
• Self-Aware - Bill knows who she is-- a gay black woman who grew up in the foster care system-- and doesn't let anyone control her or try to put her down. She is confident in herself and unafraid to take charge when it comes to leading a group or standing up for marginalized people. She is calm, collected, and straightforward when correcting people's false assumptions. For example, when a Roman legionnaire starts flirting with her, she politely explains that she's only into women. (The legionnaire, being bisexual, thinks her preferences are quaint, but accepts them nonetheless.)

● weaknesses:

• Impulsive - Bill doesn't hesitate. She dives right into new challenges, and this is sometimes to her detriment. She sometimes makes decisions because they're the easiest thing to do at the time, without thinking through whether they're really the right thing to do. This is evidenced by Bill succumbing to peer pressure and signing the tenant's agreement even though there was definitely something off about it, and by her asking the Monks for help fixing the Doctor's sight, in exchange for control over the entire planet and the whole human race.
  
  
• Competitive - Bill has to be right. Especially in regards to pop culture or historical trivia. Never mind that the Doctor is two thousand years old and has actually lived in Roman occupied England, Bill read a book on the Ninth Legion and therefore considers herself the preeminent expert on the subject. She was so adamant that she knew what happened to the Ninth Legion and the Doctor didn't, that she walked straight into harm's way in her search to prove her point.
  
  
• Doubtful - Bill, though aware of herself and unwilling to bend to discrimination, is not the pinnacle of self-confidence one hundred percent of the time. She has doubts and fears, largely concerning the absence of her mother in her life. In times of stress, Bill retreats into her own mind and has made up conversations with an imagined idea of her mother. She also is self-conscious about her appearance, thinking she's not as beautiful as the girls she gets crushes on, that her face shows emotion too easily. She does, in fact, feel things very deeply, be it joy, or grief, or fear, and her feelings are displayed in her outward expression, whether she likes it or not.
