Representative of the Forest of Cheem who attended Platform One to witness the final destruction of the Earth. Her ancestors came from the planet - the Amazon rainforests.
Curious about the Doctor, she scanned him and discovered that he was from Gallifrey which surprised her as she believed the Time Lords to have been destroyed in the last great Time War. She decided to help the Doctor investigate a number of acts of sabotage on the Platform, and helped capture one of the robotic spiders which were carrying out the damage. This revealed that Cassandra, the last human being, was behind the scheme. When the Platform's engines were closed down, putting the whole structure at risk from the imminent explosion of the planet, Jabe accompanied the Doctor to restart them - even though the heat build-up would be fatal to a wood-based life-form. She sacrificed herself to help the Doctor achieve his task.
Played by: Yasmin Bannerman. Appearances: The End of the World (2005).
- Bannerman returned to the world of Doctor Who when she portrayed DS Kathy Swanson in the Torchwood episode They Keep Killing Suzie. She has also played one of the Virgin New Adventures companions on audio.
