Clara Oswald is a fictional character created by Steven Moffat and
portrayed by Jenna Coleman in the long-running British science fiction
television series Doctor Who. First appearing in the show's seventh
series, Clara served as a companion of the alien time traveller known
as the Doctor in his eleventh (Matt Smith) and twelfth (Peter Capaldi)
incarnations. She remains the longest serving companion since the
show's revival in 2005.Clara is initially presented to the audience
during the seventh series as three distinct, though similarly named,
people living in different eras. The first two incarnations, Oswin
Oswald and Clara Oswin Oswald, each die during the episode in which
they appear. The third incarnation becomes the Doctor's companion,
travelling with him for the remainder of the series as he tries to
uncover the mystery of her multiple lives. She continues to travel
with the Doctor after the mystery is resolved at the end of the
series, witnessing him regenerate into his twelfth incarnation in "The
Time of the Doctor" (2013). The pair have various adventures together
in the eighth and ninth series until she departs the show in "Hell
Bent" (2015). She reappears briefly in the Christmas special "Twice
Upon a Time" (2017).Coleman's performance as Clara was well received
by critics.Oswin Oswald is introduced in the series 7 premiere,
"Asylum of the Daleks" (2012). She is the sole survivor of the
starship Alaska, which crashed on the Asylum, a prison planet for
insane Daleks. Oswin then learns from the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith)
that she has been converted from human into a Dalek and has coped by
retreating into a fantasy of her own intact survival. She assists the
Doctor and his travelling companions, Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory
Williams (Arthur Darvill), to escape the planet unharmed, but at the
cost of her own life. Later, in the 2012 Christmas special "The
Snowmen", the Doctor meets a woman named Clara Oswin Oswald, whom he
initially knows only as Clara. She is a Victorian barmaid and
governess whom the Doctor invites to be his newest companion, but who
dies from an attack by one of the Great Intelligence's minions. Seeing
her full name on her tombstone and finally recognising her voice, the
Doctor realises she is the same woman as Oswin from the Dalek Asylum,
whom he had never seen in her human form. Intrigued by the mystery of
the woman who has lived and died twice in different eras, he begins
searching across time for another Clara.
