I have never been so fiercely protective of a fictional character than I am with Martha Jones.
She got shit from the Doctor, from the fandom, for doing everything a normal person would do, and beyond that, her only fault to viewers is she fell in love with their beloved Doctor (and ::whispers:: she’s black)
She saved his life on more than one occasion. Including giving her last breath when she just met the guy. Not good enough.
She had the crappiest/most dangerous “adventures” with the Doctor and stuck by his side. Not good enough.
She is a doctor in her own right, but took a job at a shop, worked hard and supported him when he had no money, no tardis. Not good enough.
She endured racism and servitude as a second-class citizen all to protect his identity. Not good enough.
She walked the earth for an entire year, while her family worked as slaves, to save the world from tyranny. Not good enough.
After all that she still wasn’t good enough, so she left, and you know what?
You are better than good Martha. You are fucking amazing.
