The Fugitive Doctor[a] is an incarnation of the Doctor,[5][6][7][8] the protagonist of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. She is portrayed by the English actress Jo Martin, the first person of colour to play the role.[9]
Within the programme's narrative, the Doctor is a Time Lord, from the planet Gallifrey. The Doctor travels in a time-travelling space ship, the TARDIS. Possessing alien physiology, the Doctor, when critically injured, can regenerate into a new body, gaining a new physical appearance and personality. This plot device has allowed a number of actors, both male and female, to portray the Doctor through the decades. Each actor to play the Doctor offers a different take on the Doctor's essential personality.
It was initially unknown where this incarnation, who is encountered during the Thirteenth Doctor's (Jodie Whittaker) era, fit within the show's fictional chronology, although many commenters speculated that she was from the Doctor's past, prior to the First Doctor.[7][10][11] "Once, Upon Time" (2021) confirmed the Fugitive Doctor to be among the incarnations from the Doctor's past who worked for the "Division", a Time Lord black-ops organisation, and whose existence had been erased from their memory.
The Fugitive Doctor is a dark incarnation of the character, with an acerbic tongue and a short temper.[12] She is a battle-hardened figure who does not suffer fools gladly, with an authoritative and composed demeanour who will happily use weapons if necessary.
Ruth and Lee, are in fact another Doctor and her companion
Lee had been her companion
she is definitively the Doctor
The Timeless Child became an agent for "The Division," the Time Lord C.I.A. basically, and it was during this period of time that the Doctor was Ruth and hid on Earth and all that.
she had a past regeneration she couldn't remember
