Ryan is one of the companions to the Thirteenth Doctor, and during his time in the TARDIS has gone through a tremendous change, brought on by both tragedy and comedy.

Though he loses his Nan within hours of meeting The Doctor, he grows much closer to Graham, his step-grandfather, during their travels together. After visiting Mongomery, Alabama, he experiences first-hand the racism that black people faced at that time in the south, while also meeting Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jnr.

Ryan was also a suffered of Dyspraxia, which plays into his character arc in both his opening episode and later on down the later.

While he has not had the most lasting impact on the The Doctor, he had been a fun addition to the show overall, with his reconcilation with Aaron, his father, being a highlight of his tenure.
