Description
"Experiments are always subject to the unexpected. They can be capricious..." - The Rani.Day 5: The Rani. The Rani is a renegade Time Lady, She was an evil (or, arguably, simply amoral) scientific genius whose villainy came not from the usual variety of lust for power and suchlike, but from a mindset that treated everything (including morality) as secondary to her research. She was known to enslave entire worlds in order to have a ready supply of experimental subjects and a place to carry out her experiments uninterrupted. Her major interest was in altering the biochemistry of other species.
While she did appear evil, she found the Master to be truly evil and therefore stupid. She simply did evil things because she felt it was necessary to her work. When the Sixth Doctor tried to convince her not to experiment on humans, she called them carnivores and asked if they ever thought of the lesser species when they sunk their teeth into pork chops. This shows that the Rani may have had a conscience of some kind, also shown when she was willing to destroy her test subjects because they would've killed the Doctor. The word "Rani" means "queen" in the Hindi language.

Does the Doctor have any childhood friends who aren't douchebags, burnouts, or evil geniuses?

"Leave the girl, it's the man I want."
I love the Rani, Master and also the Monk in that I recognise they're all different kinds of 'evil'. The Monk likes to meddle in history partly out of curiousity and belief that things would be better if it happens that way, it's not full-on insanity like the Master can be but it's still something which needs to be dealt with. And the Rani is as you write above. Anyway, great artwork, you've captured Kate well there.
