COMPANION FOLLOW-UP: KATARINA

Katarina ponders on why the realm of the dead
needs all these doohickeys and thingamabobs. 

Katarina was the handmaiden of Trojan prophetess Cassandra. When the Doctor became involved in the last days of the Trojan War, Katarina befriended Vicki, then known as Cressida. At the end of the war, believing the Doctor to be a god, she willingly decided to join him on his journey.

Origin: Earth, ca. 1190 BC.
Season: 3
Tenure: 6 November-4 December 1965
Reason for Leaving: Taken hostage by a Dalek agent who wanted to use her as leverage, she committed suicide to kill the agent and prevent the Doctor from going back to Kembel.
Assessment: Katarina, we hardly knew ye! Not much to say, as there's only a single episode featuring her and she doesn't do much except taking care of the wounded Steven. Katarina believed the Doctor was taking her to the afterlife. In retrospect, she was quite right about that.
