Who is your favourite companion?

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

propaganda under the cut

Ace McShane

She's brilliant. One of the best written and developed companions of the classic series, such a template for the modern era. So many different fates and stories across the different media. If you don't love her in one you're bound to in another. And then she got her return in the new era to boot. Oh yeah; and beating the crap out of a Dalek with a Gallifreyan enhanced baseball bat. What a legend. she's... ACE! (@seven-times-champion /@elden-12 )

Ace is the natural predecessor to modern female companions. She's a fighter, smart, caring, an explosives "expert", a match for the Doctor despite being so young. She follows her own morality, will smash a dalek with a baseball bat no problem, and has a banging wardrobe! (anonymous)

Bill Potts

have you ever died horrifically but came back (mostly) correct because of your immortal sludge girlfriend. she's quite literally everything she is THE quintessential companion of moffat's whole era she is so terminally some guy and she is so special for it!!! she saved twelve's life multiple times, saved humanity through her memories of her mother, and she always holds on despite everything (the monks. the cybermen) and still always looks at the universe with wonder and curiosity and love and her storyline ruined my life. oh good lord WHEN the "i would rather die as i am than live as something else" hits and WHEN that directly ties into twelve's own refusal to regenerate. anyway bbc i am asking you to bring her back for the 70th and give her a happy ending or [gif of bill shooting twelve with a gun] (@aq2003 )
