Originally when the War Doctor steals The Moment, he just uses it and burns Gallifrey. He walked to the shed so the TARDIS wouldn't see, but she knew that he'd initiated the explosion. So, the TARDIS possesses Rose via the vortex and goes back in time to change that last day of Gallifrey.

Her home address was 48 Bucknall House, Powell Estate, London, (TV: Aliens of London [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., Love & Monsters [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).)

Sometime in Rose's childhood, a cat wandered into Rose and Jackie's apartment. Despite many attempts to get rid of it, the cat stayed and they gave in, with the cat living for five more years. This cat turned out to be Mitzi, the first cat in Hyperspace, who Rose and the Tenth Doctor encountered in the future on the planet Phostris. Recognising her pet, Rose and the Doctor went back to the Powell Estate and dropped Mitzi off, who would go on to live with Rose and Jackie, being renamed Puffin. (PROSE: The Cat Came Back [+]Gareth Roberts, Doctor Who Storybook 2007 (Doctor Who Storybook, 2006).) Several times during her childhood, she was, unbeknownst to her, visited and watched over by her future friend, Captain Jack Harkness, who was stranded on Earth after having been left on Satellite Five. Jack did not say hello, in order to avoid damaging their timeline. (TV: Utopia [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 3 (BBC One, 2007).) as a child. (TV: Father's Day [+]Paul Cornell, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) When Rose was eight, her mother took her to France via a ferry. At the same age, she suffered a bad case of stage fright when playing the Angel Gabriel at a school pantomime, an experience that left her with a distaste for live performances. (PROSE: He's Behind You [+]Dave Rudden, The Wintertime Paradox (2020).) Other accounts, however, stated that Rose had only ever been to Tenby and Paris, France, the latter on a school trip when she was thirteen in around 2000. (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005)., COMIC: Art Attack [+]Mike Collins, DWM Comics (2005).) When Rose was either eight or nine years old, her grandfather Prentice passed. Though the funeral was a sombre affair, the lively wake would stick with Rose for years as a celebration of her grandfather's life. (AUDIO: The Last Party on Earth [+]Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW.) When Rose and her friend Shareen were ten, they planned to sneak out to Danny Fennel's party and pinched a bottle of wine from Jackie's kitchen cupboard to get them in the mood. After a glass each they fell asleep, missed the party and got scolded by Jackie. (PROSE: The Stone Rose [+]Jacqueline Rayner, BBC New Series Adventures (BBC Books, 2006).) When Rose was twelve, she begged her mother for a red bicycle for Christmas, but Jackie couldn't afford it. The Doctor later heard this story from Rose and went back in time to buy her the bicycle for Christmas. (PROSE: The Red Bicycle [+]Gary Russell, Twelve Doctors of Christmas (2016).) When Rose was thirteen, in 2000 or 2001, Rose went on a school trip to (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) Paris, (COMIC: Art Attack [+]Mike Collins, DWM Comics (2005).) in France, with Shareen Costello. They were meant to go to the Musee de Louvre (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) to see the Mona Lisa, (COMIC: Art Attack [+]Mike Collins, DWM Comics (2005).) but they "escaped" their teachers, and caught a train to Parc Asterix. They were caught by the police when they were waiting the queue for the Menhir Express. They were sent home, accompanied by Mrs Kissock, ruining her trip as well. (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) Because they flunked off, they never got to see the Mona Lisa. (COMIC: Art Attack [+]Mike Collins, DWM Comics (2005).) Also when Rose was thirteen, she had a boyfriend who she later described as a "master" of food fights. (PROSE: The Monsters Inside [+]Stephen Cole, BBC New Series Adventures (BBC Books, 2005).) When Rose was fourteen she had a crush on Jay Selby, the brother of her clubbing friend Keisha. Rose spent many nights awake dreaming of Jay. She'd never really been able to talk to him properly until five years later when she helped him to escape the Waterhives. (PROSE: The Feast of the Drowned [+]Stephen Cole, BBC New Series Adventures (BBC Books, 2006).) Around this time, in 2002, Rose began going out with Mickey Smith, though she maintained that "it [was] nothing special"; (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) however, Rose's mother, Jackie, was "delighted" by their relationship. (AUDIO: Flight Into Hull! [+]Joseph Lidster, Short Trips (Big Finish Productions, 2018).) When Rose was fifteen, she was suspended from Jericho Street Comprehensive for persuading the school choir to go on strike for three days. (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) was a babysitter for Cleo Proctor. (AUDIO: Salvation [+]Juno Dawson, Redacted (BBC Sounds, 2022).) In September 2002, when Rose was fifteen (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) or sixteen, (PROSE: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Rose (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).) when she met twenty year old Jimmy Stone, the bass guitarist in the band No Hot Ashes, which was local to the Powell Estate. He had a reputation of being the "Fittest Boy" on the estate, and Rose fell "head over heels" in love with him. Rose dumped her current boyfriend, Mickey Smith, and dropped out of school and her A levels, and moved into a bedsit with Jimmy. Jackie was unimpressed with Rose's choice, (AUDIO: Flight Into Hull! [+]Joseph Lidster, Short Trips (Big Finish Productions, 2018).) though Rose still moved out. (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) Five months later, by February 2003, their relationship broke apart, Rose returned home, heartbroken, and £800 in debt. Meanwhile, Jimmy had travelled to Amsterdam with a woman named Noosh in a camper van. (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) According to another account, they broke up after being together for a year, sometime in late 2003. When he left, Rose told him that "he'd come to no good one day", as he stole her second-hand computer which he stashed inside his car. (PROSE: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Rose (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).) Jackie prided herself on helping Rose get over the relationship. (AUDIO: Flight Into Hull! [+]Joseph Lidster, Short Trips (Big Finish Productions, 2018)., PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) Some time after, Jackie was once again delighted when Rose rekindled her relationship with Mickey, (TV: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) who was "patient and uncomplaining and forgiving." (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) According to one account, Rose began working at Henrik's Department Store after Jackie called in a favour from an old boyfriend, at least six months after Rose broke up with Jimmy. Rose worked her way up from the stock floor to the shop floor, and, while the job admittedly bored her, she felt it necessary "to pay her mother rent and earn her way in the world." (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005).) According to another account, Rose began working for Henrik's some months prior to the end of her relationship with Jimmy, seemingly getting the job herself. (PROSE: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Rose (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).) At one point, she was asked by Mickey's friend Vic to pose for photographs. However, as he wanted her to pose in just her knickers, Rose declined. (PROSE: The Stone Rose [+]Jacqueline Rayner, BBC New Series Adventures (BBC Books, 2006).)
First encounter with the Doctor
When she was about nineteen, Rose had her first encounter with the Doctor just after midnight on 1 January, 2005. Whilst walking home with her mother, Rose heard the Tenth Doctor, who was dying from radiation poisoning after defeating the Master and saving Wilfred Mott, from behind her, (TV: The End of Time [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2009 and New Year Special 2010 (BBC One, 2009-2010).) but she was unable to see his face due to the shadows and snow. Mistaking him for a drunk, (PROSE: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Rose (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).) she asked if he was all right and told him the date when he asked. The Doctor told her that 2005 was going to be a great year for her. (TV: The End of Time [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2009 and New Year Special 2010 (BBC One, 2009-2010).) Trusting the kind, joyful voice that seemed tailored for her, Rose believed him (PROSE: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Rose (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).) and returned the smile before continuing on to the estate. (TV: The End of Time [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2009 and New Year Special 2010 (BBC One, 2009-2010).) As the year continued on, Rose found that she did not have the great experience the supposed drunk had promised her. However, she continued to believe what he said, despite not believing the claims of the many other drunken men she had met in her life. As such, she kept waiting for the "great year" to begin for her. (PROSE: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Rose (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).)
Meeting the Doctor again
On 4 March, 2005, at the end of her day's work shift, Rose was asked to give lottery winnings to Henrik's chief electrician, Wilson. Unable to find him in the store's basement, Rose wandered into a storage room, where she was almost killed by living plastic creatures called Autons, when the Ninth Doctor pulled Rose away and ran with her. Escaping together inside a lift, he pulled an Auton's arm off, tossing it to her. The Doctor warned Rose he was going to use explosives against the relay transmitting to the Autons and told her to run for her life. The Doctor destroyed the store shortly after Rose escaped, leaving her jobless. That night, Rose had Mickey throw it in a bin. Meeting the Doctor again the next day when he tracked her down to her flat, Rose was attacked by the arm from the store that had returned of its own volition. The arm latched onto her face, and after a small skirmish, the Doctor deactivated it and left, telling Rose to forget him. After searching for online information about the Doctor on Mickey's computer, and coming across a website titled Doctor Who? Rose met with its webmaster, Clive Finch, who showed her clippings of the Doctor's appearances throughout history, though she ended up dismissing him as a conspiracy freak. She returned to Mickey's car, where, unbeknownst to her, he had been replaced with an Auton duplicate, and they went out to get pizza at a restaurant. There, the duplicate of Mickey ignored Rose's musings about her future employment and repeatedly attempted to question her about the Doctor, until the Doctor himself arrived and pulled his head off in a scuffle. Escaping from the duplicate's attacking body, the Doctor and Rose entered the TARDIS, where the Doctor used the Auton's head to trace the signal of the Nestene Consciousness. (TV: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) However, according to one account, they were pursued by Autons disguised as living statues before making their way into the Consciousness's base beneath the London Eye, (PROSE: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Rose (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018).) where they found the real Mickey alive. When the Consciousness refused to leave Earth and began the invasion instead, the Autons took the Doctor prisoner and confiscated the anti-plastic he was holding. Unable to escape the Nestene Consciousness's base without access to the TARDIS, Rose used her gymnastic skills to kick the Autons, and the anti-plastic, into the vat containing the Nestene Consciousness. This saved the Doctor's life, and destroyed the Consciousness, foiling the invasion. Escaping with Rose and the real Mickey to safety in the TARDIS, the Doctor asked Rose to travel with him. She initially declined, until he returned to state that the TARDIS also travelled in time, causing her to kiss and thank Mickey goodbye before running into the TARDIS. (TV: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) According to one dissenting account, Rose first met the Ninth Doctor when he was fighting the Autons with Jack Harkness. She helped them take out the Autons by throwing cabbage at them, and then had tea in the TARDIS. (PROSE: Dr. Ninth [+]Adam Hargreaves, Dr. Men (Puffin Books, 2017).)
was a resourceful, brave, benevolent, curious and kind-hearted young woman. According to the Ninth Doctor, she was always asking the right sort of questions, (TV: The Long Game [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., The Girl in the Fireplace [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006)., The Satan Pit [+]Matt Jones, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) and was quick to adapt to strange events. When she travelled back to the 1980s when she was just a baby, her father recognised her mother Jackie's acerbic wit and propensity for speaking her mind. (TV: Father's Day [+]Paul Cornell, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).)
Even before she met the Doctor, Rose was already a woman of firm convictions and high ideals, with clearer and less-compromised morals than her mother. After the explosion at Henrik's destroyed her job, she dismissed out of hand Jackie's suggestions to claim compensation or sell her story to the newspapers. Rose also had ambition, baulking at the idea of working at the butcher's or dishing out chips in the hospital canteen - an unappealing prospect which would later come back to haunt her when she went undercover as a dinner lady at Deffry Vale High School. (TV: School Reunion [+]Toby Whithouse, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) In stark contrast to Jackie, who believed that her daughter's job as a shop girl at Henrik's was giving her "airs and graces", she appeared to regret leaving school and considered taking some A-levels. (TV: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).)
In many ways a very modern young person, Rose's worldview was firmly idealistic. She appeared profoundly uncomfortable with the notion of privilege founded on distinctions of class or wealth, instinctively taking against vain, entitled individuals like Cassandra and Henry van Statten who revelled in their fantasies of social status; she reacted with disgust at the former's pretensions of human purity in the face of "mongrels", and gave the latter short shrift when he discussed Rose as if she wasn't there (The End of the World [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., Dalek [+]Robert Shearman, adapted from Jubilee (Robert Shearman), Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).). Like the Doctor, Rose had little patience for the rituals of hierarchy: on Platform One she was visibly shocked when the plumber Raffalo told her she needed to be given permission to speak, was similarly shaken by Gwyneth's low pay and expectations as a servant girl (The Unquiet Dead [+]Mark Gatiss, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).), and joined the Doctor in his humiliation of Eddie Connolly after witnessing his paternalistic grip on his household. (TV: The Idiot's Lantern [+]Mark Gatiss, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) Like the Doctor, Rose showed no interest in money or recognition, dismissing her mother's suggestion of knighthoods after the Slitheen invasion (TV: World War Three [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) though she did not object when presented with that same honor by Queen Victoria. (TV: Tooth and Claw [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).)
fell easily into the role of the Doctor's companion, showing assertiveness, curiosity, and great courage in the face of danger. (TV: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) She was occasionally prone to screaming when under attack by large creatures such as the Reapers (TV: Father's Day [+]Paul Cornell, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) or a werewolf, (TV: Tooth and Claw [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) but was also very capable of holding her nerve when confronting psychological and alien threats such as Daleks (TV: Dalek [+]Robert Shearman, adapted from Jubilee (Robert Shearman), Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) including the Emperor (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) and Black Dalek Sec, (TV: Doomsday [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) Cybermen, (TV: Rise of the Cybermen [+]Tom MacRae, adapted from Spare Parts (Marc Platt), Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) including John Lumic as a Cyber Controller, (TV: The Age of Steel [+]Tom MacRae, adapted from Spare Parts (Marc Platt), Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) Sontarans including the maniacal Colonel Snathe, (COMIC: The Betrothal of Sontar [+]John Tomlinson and Nick Abadzis, DWM Comics (Panini Comics, 2006).) Ice Warriors including Lord Hasskor and Commander Slaan, (AUDIO: Cold Vengeance [+]Matt Fitton, The Tenth Doctor Adventures (Big Finish Productions, 2017).) the Master in his "Tremas" incarnation, (COMIC: Endgame [+]Scott & David Tipton, Prisoners of Time (IDW Publishing, 2013).) Raxacoricofallapatorian criminals including Slitheen (TV: Boom Town [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) and renegade Blathareen, (PROSE: The Monsters Inside [+]Stephen Cole, BBC New Series Adventures (BBC Books, 2005).) the Nestene Consciousness and its Autons, (TV: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) the Beast, (TV: The Satan Pit [+]Matt Jones, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) and the Daleks' creator Davros. (TV: Journey's End [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).)
She was also willing to kill if she had to; using the power of the time vortex to wipe out the Emperor Dalek and his fleet, (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) forcibly ejecting the possessed Toby Zed into space, (TV: The Satan Pit [+]Matt Jones, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) and blasting members of the New Dalek Empire apart with a large energy gun during their invasion of the Medusa Cascade. (TV: The Stolen Earth [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).) Trapped in Downing Street by the Slitheen with the Doctor and Harriet Jones, she suggested using the emergency protocols at their disposal to "launch a nuclear bomb at them", prompting Harriet to remark she was "a very violent young woman". (TV: World War Three [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) Suspicious of Chip's intentions as he lured her into the basement of the New New York Hospital, Rose picked up a metal rod to defend herself, (TV: New Earth [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) and would likewise brandish a chair at a group of advancing Ood she and the Doctor initially believed to be hostile. (TV: The Impossible Planet [+]Matt Jones, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).)
cared deeply about the Doctor, although she originally denied any romantic feelings towards him despite indications to the contrary. (TV: The End of the World [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., Aliens of London [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) However her feelings for him grew quickly and significantly. (TV: Dalek [+]Robert Shearman, adapted from Jubilee (Robert Shearman), Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., The Doctor Dances [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., The Idiot's Lantern [+]Mark Gatiss, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006)., The Impossible Planet [+]Matt Jones, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006)., Fear Her [+]Matthew Graham, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) In what seemed their final meeting on the beach of Bad Wolf Bay, she tearfully admitted to the Doctor that she loved him; he began to reply, but only got out the words, "Rose Tyler", before he was cut off. (TV: Doomsday [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).)
A missing ad from 2005 described her as "19 years old, 5'4" in height, slim build with brown eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair". (TV: Aliens of London [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) The Moment, perfectly imitating Rose, was 151 cm tall and weighed 121 pounds. She was almost never seen without her trademark hoop earrings.
The War Doctor noted that she was pretty. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) Henry Van Statten also described her as pretty. (TV: Dalek [+]Robert Shearman, adapted from Jubilee (Robert Shearman), Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) Her attractive appearance drew the attention of Drake Ayelbourne, who remarked that she was beautiful and became infatuated with her (COMIC: Mystery Date [+]Scott & David Tipton, Prisoners of Time (IDW Publishing, 2013).) and of William Shakespeare, who compared her to a summer's day. (COMIC: A Groatsworth of Wit [+]Gareth Roberts, DWM Comics (Panini Comics, 2005).) Upon first seeing her reflection in a mirror when possessing her, the Lady Cassandra characterised Rose as a "chav", but also noted her attractive posterior, (TV: New Earth [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) as did Jack Harkness (TV: The Empty Child [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) and Toby Zed. (TV: The Satan Pit [+]Matt Jones, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).)
Befitting her working-class background as an average shopgirl, Rose usually wore casual clothes and muted tones during her early travels with the Doctor, such as hoodies, faded T-shirts, tank-tops, baggy jeans and trainers. (TV: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., The End of the World [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., Aliens of London [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., Dalek [+]Robert Shearman, adapted from Jubilee (Robert Shearman), Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., Father's Day [+]Paul Cornell, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., The Christmas Invasion [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas special (BBC One, 2005).) As time went on, however, she became more confident and sophisticated in her clothing choices, changing from jeans to tight black trousers and favouring zip-up jackets and form-fitting tops in brighter, bolder colours. (TV: The Long Game [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., The Parting of the Ways [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., New Earth [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006)., The Girl in the Fireplace [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006)., The Impossible Planet [+]Matt Jones, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006)., Love & Monsters [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006)., Doomsday [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).)
Occasionally, Rose made use of the TARDIS wardrobe when visiting historical periods for more appropriate feminine attire. (PROSE: The Clockwise Man [+]Justin Richards, BBC New Series Adventures (BBC Books, 2005).) For her first voyage into the past, to 1869 Cardiff, she wore a ruffled ruby-red Victorian dress with a black low-cut sequined bodice, complete with stockings and petticoats and a dark shawl worn over her shoulders. The Ninth Doctor remarked she looked beautiful. (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Mark Gatiss, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) She would wear a dress again on what she believed was a trip to see Elvis in the 1950s, donning a bright pink sequined dress and matching hairband, sunglasses and high-heeled shoes, as well as a cropped bomber jacket of steel blue leather and black fishnet tights. (TV: The Idiot's Lantern [+]Mark Gatiss, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).)
Her choice of apparel did not always suit the times she found herself in; on her second visit to the Victorian era, dressed mistakenly for 1979, Rose's short denim dungarees and tights prompted Queen Victoria and her entourage to comment more than once on her "nakedness". (TV: Tooth and Claw [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) Rose herself questioned the decision to sport a bold Union Flag T-shirt when she ended up hanging from a barrage balloon in the middle of a German air raid during the London Blitz. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).)
Her wardrobe took on a more provocative aspect when she was possessed by Cassandra, who sought to flaunt the "curves" of her stolen figure. Inside Rose's body, Cassandra discarded her blue zip-up jacket to show off the low-cut patchwork blouse she had on underneath (in coloured patterns of violet, midnight blue, lilac and mauve); which she wore with the collar unbuttoned, baring her cleavage in an effort to seduce the Doctor. (TV: New Earth [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) After being restored, Rose continued to wear the blouse in such a style throughout more adventures. (AUDIO: Infamy of the Zaross [+]John Dorney, The Tenth Doctor Adventures (Big Finish Productions, 2017)., The Sword of the Chevalier [+]Guy Adams, The Tenth Doctor Adventures (Big Finish Productions, 2017).; COMIC: Which Switch? [+]Michael Stevens, DWA comic stories (BBC Magazines, 2006)., Mirror Image [+]Jacqueline Rayner, DWA comic stories (BBC Magazines, 2006).)
was able to use firearms to effect. (TV: The Satan Pit [+]Matt Jones, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006)., The Stolen Earth [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).) She was a skilled gymnast; Rose mentioned she had "got the bronze" during her school years. (TV: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) She showed such physical strength and talents with martial arts, fighting by her parallel self's side. (COMIC: Empire of the Wolf [+]Jody Houser, Doctor Who (2020) (Titan Publishing Group, 2021-2022).)
proved more intelligent than she seemed. She was very observant, and often noticed things the Doctor failed to see.

Age
The Doctor twice states on-screen that Rose is nineteen years old (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Mark Gatiss, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., Dalek [+]Robert Shearman, adapted from Jubilee (Robert Shearman), Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) and Rose refers to her years before meeting the Doctor as "the first nineteen years of [her] life". (TV: Army of Ghosts [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006).) It is established on her missing poster she left with the Doctor on 6 March 2005 and was 19 years old. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).) However, PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Annual 2006 (Panini UK, 2005)., a short story from Doctor Who Annual 2006, states that Rose was born on 27 April 1987. Although this contradicts the age stated in several television stories (she would have been about two months under eighteen when she met the Doctor), it is consistent with the appearance of the baby Rose in Father's Day [+]Paul Cornell, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., set on 7 November 1987, where the baby is a few months old. Rise of the Cybermen [+]Tom MacRae, adapted from Spare Parts (Marc Platt), Doctor Who series 2 (BBC One, 2006). establishes that Rose was six months old at the time of Pete's death, which would place her birth around early May or late April, seemingly agreeing with the Annual dating. Furthermore, The Vault: Treasures from the First 50 Years, states that Rose was eighteen during Rose.
Grow your own TARDIS
The original script of the Bad Wolf Bay scene in Journey's End [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008). contained an excerpt in which the Tenth Doctor gave the Meta-Crisis Doctor and Rose a piece of TARDIS coral, and Donna told them how to increase the rate of growth so that they could travel the stars in the parallel universe. "The Doctor in the TARDIS with Rose Tyler, just as it should be". This scene was removed in the final cut for complicating the scene too much. It was, however, mentioned in The Doctor's Data section of Doctor Who Adventures magazine, and in DWM 398. Russell T Davies states that it is fine to assume this part of the scene did actually occur. The scene is included on the Series 4 DVD Box Set.
Return to Doctor Who
News of Rose's return to the series leaked out during early production of the fourth series when photographs of her on set appeared on websites and in the press. After initial denials by the BBC, promotion for the season incorporated images of Rose Tyler. In an interview with Doctor Who Confidential aired in conjunction with Turn Left [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008)., Billie Piper revealed that the decision to bring Rose back had in fact been made when she left the series in 2006, and she had to mislead journalists and fans for the next year to keep Rose's return a surprise. Rose's first appearance in Series 4 is a surprise cameo at the end of Partners in Crime [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008)., a scene shot during production of Turn Left and veiled in such secrecy that advance review copies of the episode had the scene edited out and, unlike many other aspects of the series (such as Rose's ultimate return), was broadcast without having been the subject of Internet spoilers. In a later interview with Doctor Who Magazine, Davies indicated the original plan was for Rose to not appear again until Turn Left, but on learning how well the cameo went over with viewers, at the last minute he inserted brief, silent images of Rose into The Poison Sky [+]Helen Raynor, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008). and Midnight [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).; the scene was filmed for Midnight and was scripted. Davies added it to The Poison Sky before it was broadcast. As with Partners in Crime, the Poison Sky cameo was not included in review copies. Billie Piper receives screen credit for her appearances in Poison Sky and Midnight.
