Very few Claras are noticed by the Doctor. This results in the creation of numerous incarnations of Clara throughout the Doctor's history who appear to every known face of the Doctor, saving his life in numerous ways.

The mystery surrounding Clara is finally resolved in ' The Name of the Doctor' when she sacrifices her existence by entering the Doctor's timestream to undo the harm caused by the Great Intelligence ( Richard E Grant). In 'Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS', the Doctor confronts Clara in an averted timeline about the two previous versions of her he had met, but she does not know what he is talking about. The Doctor's repeated attempts at investigating Clara's origins over the course of ' The Rings of Akhaten', ' Hide', and ' Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS' consistently turn up compelling evidence that she is just a normal young human woman. The Doctor finds Clara Oswald (this time with no middle name) in contemporary London through her phone call, and takes her on as a companion with a goal to solving the mystery of the 'impossible girl'.

Seeing her full name on her tombstone and finally recognising her voice, the Doctor realises she is the same woman as Oswin from the Dalek Asylum, whom he had never seen in her human form. She is a Victorian barmaid and governess whom the Doctor invites to be his newest companion, but who dies from an attack by one of the Great Intelligence's minions. Later, in the 2012 Christmas special ' The Snowmen', the Doctor meets a woman named Clara Oswin Oswald, whom he initially knows only as Clara. She assists the Doctor and his travelling companions, Amy Pond ( Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams ( Arthur Darvill), to escape the planet unharmed, but at the cost of her own life. Oswin then learns from the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) that she has been converted from human into a Dalek and has coped by retreating into a fantasy of her own intact survival.

She is the sole survivor of the starship Alaska, which crashed on the Asylum, a prison planet for insane Daleks.
