Emily Blandish
Emily Blandish is one of two main characters in the
Doctor Who spin-off
Time Hunter series published by Telos Publishing Ltd. She is a time channeller, which means that she is able to physically travel along people's timelines when she is working with a time sensitive, such as her friend
Honoré Lechasseur. Emily has not yet appeared on the cover of a
Time Hunter novella, and so her physical appearance is uncertain.
