these monikers that\u2019s troubling.\u00a0 Rose became the Bad Wolf when she ended the Time War, Martha became the woman who walked the Earth after saving the planet, and Donna was the most important woman in the universe because she saved it.\u00a0 Both Amelia and Clara have been heroic and saved people, but their titles don\u2019t reflect that.\u00a0 Their titles reflect <strong><em>who they are
