| The following article is written from an In Universe perspective. |
With a new lease of life, and a more happy demeanour, the Ninth Doctor was a inherently happy adventurer, and was not averse to experiencing and appreciating very human emotions.
At his core an optimist and romantic, the Doctor tried to remain a cheerful and pacifistic adventurer, but fell into despair after Janet Wells left him, on bad terms.
The Doctor initially travelled with his predecessors final companion, Janet Wells. However after many adventures Janet left him, this led to the Doctor deciding to isolate himself.
After some time alone the Doctor met Sammy Thompson, a widow traveller from 18th Century America who had come to visit Scotland. After helping the Doctor defeat the Great Intelligence The Doctor's sense of adventure was renewed and he allowed Sammy to travel with him.
Biography
To be added.
Personality
With a carefree exterior, the Ninth Doctor was an enthusiastic figure who explored the universe for the sheer love and experience of it, craving natural things such as trees, birds and open spaces, thriving on the activity of righting wrongs, and safe guarding the future. The Ninth Doctor was a direct, emotional and sympathetic and an emotionally accessible individual, but these traits were balanced by his feelings of self doubt and weariness of his endless battles to maintain order, with the Doctor commenting to Sammy Thompson that his travels had made him appreciate the “beauty and delicate sadness of the interconectednes of all things”. Despite his passionate joviality and humanity, the Ninth Doctor can be dark, harsh, cold and ill-tempered when provoked, especially when the forces of evil tried to unbalance the laws of the universe, but he still had his mercy during these outbursts.
Physical Appearance
He weighed approximately 180 pounds, notably less than his previous incarnation (DW: Revenge of the Master).
Grooming and hair
The Doctor had long, wavy hair after his regeneration, (DW: Revenge of the Master) but, after some time travelling with Janet, he had his wavy hair cut short. (DW: The Forest of the Dead). He latter grew out his hair again after she died (DW: The Castle that Time Forgot). Towards the end of his life he cut his hair short again (DW: Here We Go Again).
Clothing
Main attires
The Doctor found a Wild Bill Hickok costume in the TARDIS wardrobe. Though he discarded the hat and gunbelt, he kept the long bottle-green velvet frockcoat, high collared white dress shirt, floppy battleship grey cravat with a bronze pin, greyish-green high-waist trousers, and six buttoned silky waistcoat with a golden pocket watch. (DW: Revenge of the Master) He also took to wearing question mark-fashioned boxer shorts, and would occasionally discard the cravat and leave his top buttons undone (DW: The Forest of the Dead, DW: Doomwraiths, DW: The Nightmare of Time)
After the death of Janet, sometimes in place of a cravat, he wore an ascot in a ruffled bundle, coloured in flaxen yellow, (DW: The Castle that Time Forgot) eggplant purple, DW: A Case for the Blue Box) or midnight blue. (DW: Wallpaper) While doing this, he did not fully button his shirt which was meant to hold his neckband accessories, instead having the points of the collar drooped across his shoulders as he left it open-necked and wore the ascot crookedly on his own uncovered neck.
The Doctor had replacement jackets, made for him by a tailor on Savile Row in 1892.
The Doctor varied the colour scheme of his costume, such as wearing a dark blue frockcoat, a purple waistcoat, an yellow cravat, mauve trousers, a dark purple cravat (DW: The Return of Nimon).

Behind the Scenes
Casting
Michael French was the first choice of Stephen Garwood for the role of the Ninth Doctor, after his audition for the role Garwood considered no one else.
- Michael French cut his hair severely shorter than his audition for the role of The Doctor. Thus a wig was hastily made for his first season. Michael French hated wearing the wig so he requested The Doctor to have short hair in his second season and eventually grow his hair back over time. Stephan Garwood and other production members agreed.
