Overview
The character of Emily Blandish was created by Daniel O'Mahony for the Telos Doctor Who novella The Cabinet of Light. Shortly after the novella was published, it was announced that BBC Enterprises would not be renewing Telos' licence to produce Doctor Who novellas. Telos subsequently announced that they would begin producing a series of "Part mystery, part detective story, part dark fantasy, part science fiction" novellas that would continue the spirit of the Doctor Who novellas. This was the Time Hunter range, which continued the adventures of Emily and Honoré Lechasseur.
Emily is a mysterious character, who due to amnesia is unaware of her own history. She shows a great deal of affection for Honoré, but equally a great drive to find out the details of her missing memories – something which sets her apart from the character of the Doctor in the Eighth Doctor Adventures novels, who has a similar problem but was unwilling to investigate it.
The character continued in the Time Hunter range for 11 novellas, before Telos announced that the range was to be closed due to poor sales.
According to her creator, Emily's appearance is loosely based on that of the actress Charlotte Coleman.
