Rose Noble is a character introduced in the Doctor Who special episode ‘The Star Beast.’ Portrayed by Yasmin Finney (known for Heartstopper), Rose is the daughter of Donna Noble and Shaun Temple.
A teenager in her mid-teens, Rose possesses notable talents in crafts, utilizing fabric and wool from an outdoor shed to craft creatures that she sells online, aiding her family’s income. Despite her creativity and resourcefulness, Rose grapples with feelings of loneliness and difference. As a transgender individual, she receives unwavering support from her parents but often feels isolated due to bullying and the sense of being different from her peers.
In ‘The Star Beast,’ Rose assumes a significant role. She encounters Beep the Meep, initially taking care of the creature until its deceptive nature is revealed. As the Doctor reunites with Donna, it’s discovered that Rose has inherited Time Lord energy from her mother. This connection allows her to share memories with Donna, with some memories already seeping through before the Doctor unlocks Donna’s memories entirely.
Rose’s creative endeavors, like crafting toys resembling aliens seen by Donna and her TARDIS-like shed, hint at her connection to the Doctor’s universe. With the Time Lord energy split between them, both Rose and Donna endure the strain as Donna recovers her memories.
Regarding Rose’s future in Doctor Who, it hasn’t been officially confirmed if she’ll appear in the remaining specials for the Doctor Who 60th anniversary. However, given Donna’s reconnection with the Doctor and the narrative possibilities, it’s highly anticipated that Rose might make a return. Expectations lean toward a recurring role for Rose in future seasons, serving as a supporting character linking the present Doctor’s adventures with echoes of the past.
While Rose might not become an official companion, there’s ample potential for her character to evolve alongside the Doctor in occasional one-off adventures, expanding her role and contributing to the show’s continuity. Fans eagerly await more exploration and development of Rose Noble in the Doctor Who universe.
