Although Martha is strong as well of course
Martha Jones: doctor, friend, sister, daughter, nerd, Harry Potter fan...
Remember that time Martha basically condemned herself to hell? When she did something she thought terrible, when she negotiated with the Daleks to try and save the earth? Because that was AWESOME
Martha 'cowering' in 42 is probably pushing it a bit, but hell if it wasn't a
terrifying situation
I suppose in a way, Martha's arc is sort
about how she doesn't need a man. Well, that particular man anyway.
The Doctor probably deserved to be ranted at
Two bits from Family Of Blood: Martha telling the Doctor she didn't mean it when she said she loved him (she did) and THAT ICONIC BIT
Again, this is pushing it a bit, but I think Martha did want validation from the Doctor in her early episodes
God I love the expression on her face in this scene
Inspired by this and the other gifsets like it, because it occured to me that the woman whom all those traits existed in could very well be Martha Jones. (And many other women too, no doubt, but…MARTHA.)
Hit the gifs for some commentary!
