When the Great Intelligence first came to Earth it fell as a form of sentient snow. This was in the winter of 1842. It took over the mind of a small boy, named Walter Simeon. 50 years later, it needed to create a body for itself, and used a dead governess as a template for this. The woman, who was governess to the Latimer children, had fallen into a pond the previous Christmas and drowned. Her young charges had hated and feared her. At Christmas 1892, the creation of the template was complete and the governess was reborn as a creature of ice. She maintained some of the original governess' cruel personality. She attacked the Doctor and the Latimer household, which now included her replacement, Clara Oswin Oswald. The Doctor and Clara lured her onto the roof of the house, where the TARDIS was hidden hovering above. However, the Ice Governess followed them up to the ship and seized hold of Clara. Both fell to the ground. Clara was killed, and the Ice Governess shattered into fragments. The Intelligence believed that even these shards could be useful, as it was prepared to accept them from the Doctor, but it was a trick and the Doctor hadn't brought them to it at all. He would keep them in the TARDIS to prevent her from reconstituting herself.
