'Who is Missy?' the question that all whovians are wanting to know, the internet is rife with theories about her, some obvious, some weird and some unlikely. In this article I will show you some popular theories from around the internet before telling you my theory. Little is known about Missy, she has been seen in two stories of series 8 so far (at the time of writing this, she has been in 'Deep Breath and 'Into the Dalek'). When someone dies in the story (Half-Face Man for 'Deep Breath' and Gretchen for 'Into the Dalek') they instantly appear in 'Heaven' where you will be greeted by Missy who we will find out in the two part finale is The Gatekeeper of the Nethersphere. The finale also involves Cybermen. 'Hello! I'm Missy. You made it. I hope my boyfriend wasn't too mean to you.' I would describe Missy as slightly unhinged, saying things like 'He can be very mean sometimes. Except to me of course, because he loves me so much.' Which suggests she sort of a stalker thinking The Doctor loves her when we don't know if they've even met before.
It has also been hinted that Missy was the woman in the shop who gave Clara the Doctor's number in 'The Bells of St John' as well as the newspaper article in 'Deep Breath' that again led Clara to the Doctor... So in no particular order here are some popular theories from around the internet: The Rani. The Rani is definitely in need for a return, the treacherous Time Lady who appeared in the 80's with the 6th Doctor and 7th Doctor as well as the charity special 'Dimensions in time' was the perfect villain. Played by Kate O'mara who sadly died early this year, Michele Gomez certainly has the same mystery, seductiveness and evil The Rani had It's also a nice kind of memorial to Kate O'mara Clara. Personally I think this is a case of people looking into it too much (same goes for a few others on this list) I don't think it is Clara but questions like why would Missy give her the Doctors number? arise. Plus with the whole impossible girl thing there's lot's of possibilities. The Woman. The mysterious woman seen in 'The End of Time' known simply as 'The Woman' was supposed to be The Doctors mother or at least that was who RTD (the writer) thought she was, but in the story it is unclear who she is other than she is probably a Time Lord. Could The Woman be Missy? It's definitely possible. River Song. Personally no. Just no. Although Missy has the same seductiveness River has, River gave up her regenerations and I felt her arc was done with the eleventh Doctor and I feel River would fit awkwardly into Capaldi's era. I can see similarities between them and River is supposed to have met multiple Doctors (mare than two at least) but I haven't yet seen a plausible theory for River. The Master. The Master has been rumoured for a return for a while and he is definitely in need of a return but can whovians (especially classic lovers) really except a female Master? I have still seen some good similarities such as people saying that the fountain is the master's TARDIS and The Master and Missy certainly share the same uneasiness and craziness. CyberKing, Cyberleader, Miss Hartigan... With the return of the Cybermen in the finale, people are thinking that Missy could be part of the Cyber ranks similarities such as MISSy and MISS Hartigan are getting people thinking, though it's unlikely we are yet to find out how the Cybermen fit into the finale. New Character altogether. With wild theories everywhere people haven't stopped to think about if it maybe someone new, maybe a new Time Lord or just an ordinary human with too much power, I'd be interested to see how this new character would play out.. My theory is... She is a dark side of The Doctor much like The Dream Lord or the Valeyard (she may even be the Valeyard) of the Doctor in a world she created calling it heaven, taking people who killed themselves for the Doctor possibly to make him understand how he isn't a good man which is a theme running through series 8. Whatever the answer, I'm excited to find the truth in the finale.

Here's my theory. I think she is the masters girlfriend or whatever and I think she could be the rani. I only have this theory because I have just seen the 1st part of 'The Mark Of The Rani' and they seem to be friends, right? Anyway. It would make for a nice twist at the end. I have a theory that although doctor who extra said it isn't, that the timelord boy in Listen was actually the master! Not once was he called doctor or theta sigma and in the credits I believe he was credited as 'figure'. Imagine that, in the finale. The master holds up the soildier figure shocking everybody. Going slightly off target but I think it would be a shoker that because unit are in the finale, the master becomes the new scientific adisors (stealing the doctors old job). The doctor could go back to unit with a retired form and then finds out that the master has taken his job. I'm turning into a steven Moffat.
