Donna was the companion Ten needed - someone to give him a kick up the arse from time to time. She understood him like no other human did, she wasn't in awe of him or blinded by infatuation - but she loved him anyway.
Donna had the advantage of seeing Ten at his best *and* his worst when they first met, unlike Rose or Martha. I loved that Ten had to work hard to win her over when they first met. I think that's what made their relationship equal and so successful for me. She already knew what he was capable of before she became a full-time companion, and she acknowledged all of it.

Now I miss Donna even more.
