Continuing the trend of lovely characters in this series, this story brings us Professor Amelia Rumford. She's a professor interested in studying the titular stones, not because they are made of blood, but because there exist several discrepancies in surveys done of the area regarding the stones, particularly concerning things such as their positions and how many stones are in the area at any given time.
But that's not the reason why I wanted to talk about her. Instead, I wanted to talk about how gleeful a character she is. She's clearly into her senior years, and yet she approaches every situation that she encounters herself in with a strong amount of adventure, as she rides along on her bicycle ready for work. She takes everything that they do in her stride, whether it be the fact that her assistant has turned out to have lived for well over 500 years, or that this mysterious Doctor person has turned up with a robotic dog. It's this enthusiasm that makes her so likeable as a character, and it certainly makes me feel a little bit happier every time that she's on screen.
