Soothsayer


TARDIS Data Core


A soothsayer was a member of the Sibylline Sisterhood in Pompeii in 79 AD. She had eyes painted on the back of her hands — a sign of the cult. She was the first of the Sisterhood to see the TARDIS, or "Blue Box", that had appeared in a prophecy. She had psychic powers from breathing in dust from Vesuvius that was converting her into a Pyrovile, and could see through time because of the rift activity there. It is likely that she died during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
