Peri Brown

Perpugilliam "Peri" Brown (born 1966) was a companion of the Fifth and Sixth Doctors.

She was an American college student who accidentally joined the Fifth Doctor during his visit to Lanzarote in 1984. She then elected to remain with him for the rest of her vacation time. She remained with the Doctor after his regeneration into his sixth incarnation, but found it harder to get along with him because of his now brash and arrogant personality. However, as time went on, the Sixth Doctor's personality mellowed and Peri's friendship with him improved, especially after he returned to comfort her after the death of her mother.

Perpugilliam "Peri" Brown (born 1966) was a companion of the Fifth and Sixth Doctors.

She was an American college student who accidentally joined the Fifth Doctor during his visit to Lanzarote in 1984. She then elected to remain with him for the rest of her vacation time. She remained with the Doctor after his regeneration into his sixth incarnation, but found it harder to get along with him because of his now brash and arrogant personality. However, as time went on, the Sixth Doctor's personality mellowed and Peri's friendship with him improved, especially after he returned to comfort her after the death of her mother.

Peri was separated from him by the Time Lords so that they could cover up the Ravolox conspiracy. According to the Tremas Master, Peri fell in love with King Yrcanos and married him, but that was just part of the truth. As it turned out, there were several future versions of Peri's life due to interventions of various Time Lord factions. One of these versions of Peri eventually rejoined the Sixth Doctor on his travels.

Her unusual name meant, according to her, "she who lives in the hills".

Peri had limited contact with other companions, although she did encounter a few. She spent a significant amount of time alongside the uncrowned Egyptian Pharaoh Erimem, developing a deep sister-like bond. As well as this she had a series of adventures with Frobisher. She was also acquainted with Jamie McCrimmon, meeting him and the Second Doctor during an encounter with the Sontarans. She also very briefly met Vislor Turlough who left the Doctor's company just prior to her joining. She also met Kamelion briefly before his destruction. She also briefly met Ace, accompanied by the Seventh Doctor, at the Factory.
