3. She Drew Her Power From Kindness And Love
I'm not talking about the wishy-washy new age "love" feminine energy thing. I'm talking about the kind of love that burns stars, the Kali kind of love that destroys as much as it creates. That was Rose. That's what happened when she looked into the time vortex. Her body and essence became intertwined with the most powerful force in the universe, all for love. She kept traveling with the Doctor not because she wanted to adventure but because she loved him. And just about everywhere she went, she was kind. Sure, she had bad days, but she instinctively related to people in no matter what shape they turned up in. It takes a special kind of nuts to show compassion for a Dalek, but Rose did it without even trying. She was comfortable with kindness and tenderness, while the Doctor wasn't. She balanced him out, showed him a better way. And that gave her a whole lot of power.
