Fey Truscott-Sade, also known as Fey or Feyde, is a fictional character who appeared in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. She was a companion of the Eighth Doctor. The character was created by writer Alan Barnes and artists Martin Geraghty and Robin Smith. Publication history She first appears in the comic strip story "Tooth and Claw," published in DWM #257-260, written by Alan Barnes and drawn by Martin Geraghty and Robin Smith. Her initial appearance in that story was inspired by Katharine Hepburn. Fictional character biography Fey is a native of Earth in the early 20th century. In 1939, she is an undercover operative working for the British government and has previously encountered the Doctor in an unpublished adventure involving psychic weasels in Russell Square. The Doctor had given her a Stattenheim Summoner—a device disguised as a tin whistle that could contact the TARDIS—and Fey calls on the Doctor and his companion Izzy Sinclair to help her investigate the sinister Varney. Varney takes people to his private island to wait out the coming war in safety, but the fate of those guests is a total mistery. It was here Fey met Izzy Sinclair, another friend of the Doctor. The events of Tooth and Claw prove costly for the Doctor. Although they ultimately defeat Varney, the Doctor injects himself with a deadly bacillus in the process. Fey manages to pilot the TARDIS back to Gallifrey, where the Doctor's body is cured, and his mind placed into the Matrix to heal. Izzy came along for the trip. While within the Matrix, an attempt is made on the Doctor's life by "the Elysians", a secret Time Lord sect. This is foiled by Shayde, a construct of the Matrix and an old ally of the Doctor's. The assassination attempt is part of a plot by Overseer Luther, an insane Time Lord who wants to rewrite Gallifrey's history and set himself up as a god. The Doctor manages to thwart him by short-circuiting his watchtower (a gigantic TARDIS), but apparently at the cost of his eighth body. As Izzy and Fey watch, the Doctor regenerates into a new incarnation (The Final Chapter, DWM #262-#265). However, this is a ruse. The Doctor had realized that Fey was under external control when she managed to pilot the TARDIS even though the TARDIS manual was in
