Roslyn Sarah Inyathi Forrester usually just known as Roz Forrester is a fictional character from the Virgin New Adventures range of spin-offs based on the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.
Roz was born in 2935 to a rich family on Jupiter's moon Io and was of pure African Xhosa stock (according to family legend the Forresters are descended from Nelson Mandela, but this is not the case).
Roz and Chris travelled with the Doctor for many adventures, but she was killed when she led an assault on the stronghold of Duke Walid, the Earth Emperor who was being controlled by the Psionic Brotherhood.
Original Sin Reviewed (776 words)
Roz and Chris are Adjudicators, a sort of cross between NYPD Blue and Force-less Jedi, a quasi-religious order of armoured peacekeepers intent on enforcing justice across the Earth Empire.
The standout scene for the Doctor is one in which he, in an attempt to track down the source of the radiation that is causing the random violence, is forced to talk to Professor Zebulon Pryce, an expert in the type of radiation responsible and certifiable murderous loon.
Roz and Chris get the best introductions of any print companions ever - not even Benny got such good treatment on her first outing - and it is fascinating to see the Doctor realise and then react to the knowledge that he, the arch-manipulator, is being manipulated throughout this story.
