3. Her Ambition
BBCThe impressive scale of the Rani's schemes are an insight to how much ambition she possessed - which apparently was quite a bit. Instead of going into hiding or aimlessly roaming time and space after her exile from Gallifrey, she made the most of her new situation and went on to become a planet-wide dictator, something that would take lots of ambition to successfully achieve. Her experiments were also a testimony to her ambition, from those giant mice that unfortunately ate the Time Lord President's cat to the dinosaur embryos she kept in her TARDIS, to her construction of a giant brain in Time and the Rani. The Rani dreamt on a big scale and had the ambition to follow through on her plans. A villain with this much ambition is not just a threat but a large, legitimate one at that. She demonstrated how she could accomplish virtually anything she put her mind to, so what if her next plot was even bigger and more elaborate than the last? We know she has the ability to pull off even the wildest of schemes, but would the Doctor be able to stop her?
