Though it seems that there may be several different Claras out there, they are actually all “echoes” of the same woman and all look very much identical, barring minor differences. The Prime!Clara has shoulder-length (or longer), dark brown hair. Her fresh, friendly face holds large, expressive brown eyes. She stands at about 5’2”, a petite young woman with dainty, elfin-like features and a coy smirk. Her clothing style tends to be elegant, fresh and adorable.

Curious, cheeky, and super-smart, Clara laughs in the face of danger. She’s brave, determined and fiercely independent. She’s also quite creative and whimsical, having once claimed to have created fish just because she disliked swimming alone. Clara is “The Girl Who Can” in every sense of the phrase. She is also an expert in the art of flirting, and has no qualms about blatantly staring at the Doctor’s bum.

Clara loves children; she is a maker of soufflés, a lover of adventure, and a rather fascinating enigma. However, more than anything else in the universe, she would very much like to become a traveler and see the stars. It is important to note that Clara does not believe in Destiny. She also has the Doctor return her home after each trip in the TARDIS, due to her concerns about being there for her students everyday.

Clara Oswald was born ca. 1989 to parents Ellie (Ravenwood) and Dave Oswald in Lancashire, England. The Doctor checked in on this little family every so often to make sure that Clara was an actual, proper human, and when she was still quite young, she spoke with him while they sat side by side on a swing-set (however, this was before the Doctor had figured out that this little girl was Clara - she was just a chatty child when they met here). Little Clara gave the Doctor advice about what to do when you lose something: go to a quiet place, close your eyes, and then you'll find what you've been looking for. Ironically, she would grow up to become the very same woman he was looking for...

Clara’s worst fear as a child was getting lost; to comfort her, her mother told her that she would always find her, wherever she was. When Clara was 16, on March 5, 2005, her mother died. Clara was devastated - and the Doctor looked on from afar at the cemetery, while Clara and her father stood at her grave. Losing her mother made a huge impact on Clara's life, and it seems that she's been trying to fill in as everyone else's mother, ever since (ie: becoming a nanny / governess / junior entertainment manager).

The Doctor again met up with a now-grownup Clara Oswald in 2013. After she'd graduated from University, she had planned to spend a week with family friends, the Maitlands, and then she intended to travel the world; however, the mother of that family passed away unexpectedly, which prompted Clara to volunteer to nanny for the children.

After nearly a year of this life, the Doctor answered her call. Literally. Clara had been given a phone number for 'the best helpline in the universe'. She called it when she was having trouble finding the Internet. Despite the Doctor's helpful advice about connecting to the Wi-Fi, Clara accidentally clicked on the Great Intelligence's connection. A “Spoonhead” came for her and had her partially downloaded to the GI's data cloud, when the Doctor arrived at her side to save her - but not before a 'tech package' had been installed into her mind, making her, essentially, a computer genius of rockstar proportion.

After helping the Doctor defeat the GI, Clara was invited to join the Doctor on his travels through Time and Space. She didn't decline; however, Clara requested that he leave her off at home and return the next morning to come pick her up for their next adventure.

When asked where she wanted to go, Clara told the Doctor, "Somewhere awesome." He took her to Akhaten, where he'd long ago once taken his granddaughter Susan. This was her first alien adventure, and Clara marveled at the various things and creatures in the marketplace, fearlessly trying new foods and trying to communicate with alien species.

While they were visiting, Clara and the Doctor got to experience the Festival of Offerings, where the people made offerings to "the old god", so that he would not waken and burn them all out of existence. The old god, however, woke up and threatened to claim the life of the young Queen of Years, and not even the Doctor could stop him. Clara, on the other hand, wound up saving not only the Doctor, but also everyone who lived on Akhaten, by sacrificing a very important leaf - "the most important leaf in human history", as it was what had brought her parents together. As it consumed her offering, the old god overloaded itself and imploded.

After this adventure, the Doctor once again brought Clara back home - which she said looked different... But, the Doctor seemed to pay no heed to her words.

They met up again and intended to visit Las Vegas; however, the TARDIS took them to a Russian submarine that was sinking near the North Pole in the year 1983. They had a terrifying encounter with an Ice Warrior, Grand Marshall, Skaldak; however, Clara seemed to remind the Martian of his long-dead daughter, and so he spared their lives, while his people came to take him home.

Clara's next adventure with the Doctor took her to Caliburn House in 1974. The Doctor had told her they were going to go ghost hunting; however, that's not at all why he chose to visit this time and place. The Doctor had intended to ask the supposedly clairvoyant Emma Grayling about Clara; when had his chance to ask about his mysterious companion, Emma revealed the Clara is just a normal, human girl.

Sometime after their adventure at Caliburn House, while the TARDIS was in-flight, their travels were interrupted by a salvage crew who had picked up the TARDIS, intent on gutting the ship and making a fortune. The TARDIS, however, had other plans - she did her utmost to protect the Doctor and Clara, while they sorted out how to undo the damage. While dealing with this crisis, Clara had been separated from the Doctor and had come across his name: she now knew who he really was. The Doctor also wound up telling Clara about all of the times he's seen her die and demanded to know how she was even possible, which (much to his relief) she was completely clueless about; however, this was all forgotten when the Doctor utilized a crack in Time and Space within the TARDIS to undo everything that had happened.

The Doctor and Clara next traveled to Yorkshire in 1893 (though, he had been aiming for Victorian London), where they encountered Ms. Winifred Gillyflower and her silent partner Mr. Sweet. They were subjected to being dipped into “the crimson horror” and “preserved”; this process didn’t take with the Doctor, and he was rejected. Clara, on the other hand, was perfectly preserved and placed into storage, intended to be one of Ms. Gillyflower’s “Stepford Wives” after she’d cleansed the world of the unworthy. With the aid of Madame Vastra, her wife Jenny and their resident Sontaran, Strax, the Doctor recovered from his altered state, saved Clara and foiled Ms. Gillyflower and Mr. Sweet’s plans.

Back home in the 21st century again, Clara was confronted by the Maitland children. They had come across a slew of photographs in which that they’d noticed her (and the Doctor). They called her out on being a time traveler, and they threatened to tell their father, unless Clara took them with her the next time she went somewhere in the TARDIS.

The Doctor included the Maitland children in their next adventure - to Hedgewick's World of Wonders, the Universe's largest theme park. There, they encountered (and defeated) the Cybermen, and met the Emperor of the Universe. Clara turned down a proposal of marriage from the Emperor, to which the Doctor looked vastly relieved (though Angie Maitland thought her a fool for doing so).

Back home again, on the 10th of April, 2013, Clara received a letter (or rather, an invitation) from Madame Vastra. It was laced with a soporific that caused her to fall into a trance-like sleep. In this state, Clara met with not only Madame Vastra, her wife Jenny Flint, and Strax the Sontaran, but also... Professor River Song. They discussed the Doctor's secret and Trenzalore, but before they got very far, they were ambushed by the Whispermen...

Orchestrated by the Great Intelligence, in the guise of Dr. Simeon, the whole group of time travelers, plus the Doctor, were gathered on Trenzalore, at the Doctor's tomb: what was left of the TARDIS. The GI entered the Doctor's Timestream and proceeded to turn each of the Doctor's victories into defeats, which actually caused stars to blink out of existence, and this act also started to kill the Doctor. In order to save him, Clara descended into the Doctor's Timestream - against River's and the Doctor's advice - to fix everything that the GI planned to destroy. However, this act caused the time winds to rip her apart and fling "echoes" of Clara throughout Time and Space - such as those that the Doctor had already met before he encountered the original Clara in 2013.

The original Clara was initially believed to be dead, but with a word from River Song, the Doctor knew otherwise. He, too, entered his own Timestream and saved his Impossible Girl.

While in the Doctor's Timestream, Clara spotted a face of his that she didn't recognize. When she asked the Doctor who this man was, he told her that he was the version of himself that broke the promise of the name "the Doctor" (the War Doctor).

After leaving the Doctor's Timeline, Clara realizes that she could remember bits and pieces of her echoes' lives -- some of the memories are more vivid for her, while others she's only been able to see in her dreams.

Eventually, Clara accepted a teaching position at the Coal Hill School in London and no longer served as nanny for the Maitland children. After school had let out one afternoon, Clara met the Doctor in the TARDIS, and they began planning their next trip: a week in ancient Mesopotamia, followed up by Future Mars, and then cocktails on the moon -- and then, without warning, the TARDIS was airlifted by UNIT and brought into the city.

Clara and the Doctor met up with Kate Stewart and embarked on an adventure that included Queen Elizabeth I, the Tenth Doctor, the War Doctor and the Zygons. This event ended with the Zygons' plan to conquer Earth thwarted, and Gallifrey was able to be saved by every incarnation of the Doctor and tucked away into a pocket universe for safekeeping, while the Last Great Time War petered out around the empty space that Gallifrey had left behind.

That Christmas, Clara called on the Doctor to help her out -- she needed him to come to her family’s Christmas Dinner and pretend to be her boyfriend. He made a brief cameo, and then he and Clara popped off to the town of Christmas on the planet Trenzalore. Clara was determined to stick by his side, but because he felt that it was the right thing to do, the Doctor managed to trick her and send her back home to her family. Angry, Clara managed to return to the Doctor, but 300 years had passed for him while she’d been away. The Doctor, now on his final regeneration and near death, said goodbye to Clara -- but she wasn’t going to accept this! Instead, she was able to communicate with the Time Lords through a crack in Space-Time and convince them to give the Doctor -- the only being in the Universe who is theoretically able to find and return Gallifrey to its proper place in the cosmos -- a fresh set of regenerations.

It was lunchtime, and the classroom was empty, save for Clara. She sat at her desk, picking at a sack lunch that she'd brought in from home, while she worked on grading a stack of her students' papers, when a sudden and unexpected knock at the open doorway signaled the arrival of a visitor.

Assuming that her unexpected lunchtime guest was someone completely different than who he actually was, Clara didn't even bother to look up from her work when the Doctor made his entrance -- she'd just assumed it was another teacher, or one of her many students.

"Hi, there," she said, and a warm smile lit up her face, while she sat there, hunched over one of several student essays about Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. "Come on in -- I'll be with you in a mo'."

It wasn't until after Clara had said all of that, that she finally looked up at her guest. Instantly, her smile melted into a look of, 'Oh, no... What's wrong? What did you do this time??'.

"Doctor! What's going on?" she hurriedly demanded, trying to keep her voice down. Clara was clearly concerned, and also a bit put-upon. "Should I be worried?"

It wasn't a Wednesday, you see -- it wasn't their 'regular' day for getting together for TARDIS-related shenanigans...
