Doctor Who Drabble: Mysterious

[bk_forever]

Title: Mysterious
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Madame Vastra, Jenny.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 235: Lace at dw100.
Spoilers: The Snowmen.
Summary: To most people, Madame Vastra is as mysterious as the crimes and events she investigates.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.





Madame Vastra conceals her appearance behind a veil of black lace. It’s an affectation, but perhaps a necessity; little can be accomplished if people run screaming in terror from one’s presence. Apes such as those who currently inhabit earth are all too quick to label anyone a little different a monster.


There are some exceptions, the odd human here and there who doesn’t find her alarming, most notably her darling Jenny, but they’re few and far between. Besides, the veil lends her an air of mystery that seems rather appropriate, considering her chosen line of work involves investigating mysterious events.

LOVE that line about these stupid apes who inhabit our planet!

Well, as a Silurian, Madame Vastra may be a tiny bit prejudiced ;)

Except when it comes to Jenny of course.

Thank you!
