Donna Noble was really the perfect Doctor companion. She wasn’t remotely attracted to him but loved him dearly. They were giddy, laughing all the time, she was so filled with WONDER to travel space and time with him and he NEEDED that sense of excitement again. But most of all, she was so deeply human and empathetic, she cried when people got hurt, she pushed him to stop closing himself off to suffering, she didn’t let him get away with any shit but always ended their bickering on a friendly note to let him know she loved him regardless. She didn’t have Amy’s bravery nor Clara’s confidence or Martha’s cleverness… but she still pushed on no matter how scared or in over her head she was. She was selfless and could see the doctor for the lonely and hurt man he was. Honestly, she was such a wonderful companion. I am glad to see her getting the love she deserves now both by the fandom and within the Doctor canon.
