History[]

Nyssa of Traken was the daughter of Tremas, one of the Consuls whose wise rule had turned the Traken Union into a haven of peace and goodwill renowned throughout the universe. Unfortunately, it all went a bit pear-shaped when the evil renegade Time Lord known as The Master arrived, corrupted and killed Nyssa's stepmother, murdered her father and took possession of his body, and then caused the destruction of the planet for good measure.

Bearing up admirably under this catalogue of misfortunes, Nyssa joined the crew of the TARDIS, accompanying the Master's old foe The Doctor and his companions Adric (who also later died) and Tegan on numerous adventures in time and space before leaving to help run a galactic leper colony. The girl really was too good to be true.
