A fortune teller acted as a reluctant agent of the Trickster on Shan Shen, luring tourists and passersby as victims for the Time Beetle to feed on. She was tricked into selecting Donna Noble for this purpose, which eventually killed the Time Beetle.
Biography[]
Deal with the Trickster[]
This young woman was once wealthy, but was reduced to working as a two-bit fortune teller working on the crowded market-streets of Shan Shen in the 51st century, at which she did not have much success. When her despair had grown great, the Trickster appeared to her in a mirror, offering her renewed prosperity if she cared for the Time Beetle for him and did exactly as he said. (COMIC: Turn Left Prequel Comic)
Tricking Donna[]
When Donna Noble visited Shan Shen with the Tenth Doctor, (TV: Turn Left) Auteur sensed that she was a living nexus point in Time. He singled her out to the fortune teller (whom he felt to be a "a puppet" of the Brigade), telling her to feed Donna to the Beetle, but not quite how dramatic the effects of this act would be. (PROSE: A Better World)
She successfully lured Donna into place and got the Beetle to climb onto her back, but, after becoming trapped in the new timeline, Donna was eventually told Time had diverged and (with the help of UNIT) to travel back in Time to reverse the change and put Time back on track. She then woke up back on Shan Shen in the normal timeline, killing the Beetle in the process. The fortune teller was awed and terrified that Donna had been able to do this, babbling "You were so strong… what are you?! What will you be!?". (TV: Turn Left)
