| - A shopgirl from 21st century London, Rose was the first companion seen in the new series. Left after series 2, returned for series 4. Madly in love with the Doctor, which is awkward for everyone involved and leads to the Doctor making up a "falling in love not allowed" rule for his subsequent companions. (This works about as well as you would expect.)
* Beware the Nice Ones: Series 1 finale counts.
* Clingy Jealous Girl: Forms most of the tension with Sarah Jane when they first meet, and she really doesn't seem to like the idea that the Doctor has had female friends other than her in the past (or may have in future).
* Everyone Loves Blondes: Lampshaded by Martha and Jack:
* First Girl Wins: Rose is one of the few companions that The Doctor has expressed obvious romantic affection for, eventually ending up with his half-Donna clone. In a very strange (but sweet) way. The writers have explicitly said that the Clone told her "I love you" when they hooked up.
* Girl Next Door
* Grand Theft Me: To Cassandra's chagrin. "I'm a chav!"
* Heroic Sacrifice: Series 2 finale counts, though she's technically not dead.
* It's All About Me: Has some very self-centered moments, especially regarding Mickey. She naturally gets called out on this.
* Love Confession: She tells the Tenth Doctor this. While he does not say it back, his clone whispers it back in her ear (according to the writers). She stays with the clone in the alternate universe.
* Living Emotional Crutch
* Morality Chain: For the Ninth Doctor. For the Tenth, not so much...
* Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Indirectly responsible (along with "Sexy") for the return of the Master (and by extension, Professor Lazarus' rampage) and Miracle Day.
* Stranger in a Familiar Land
* She Is Not My Girlfriend: To the Ninth Doctor, mainly.
* Took a Level In Badass: Series 4.
* Tsundere: The "sweet" type.
* Unreliable Narrator: Everything she says about her death.
