She survived only by hiding in a bin, and staying there till found by Coyne, who taught her how to fight. She grew up helping the resistance battle the Daleks, becoming a Dalek hunter. During this time, she got the nickname Cinder. She met the Doctor when she was saved from a Dalek patrol by the TARDIS crash landing. After helping The Doctor discover a Dalek weapons factory where they were building a de-mat weapon, a temporal cannon, in order to destroy Gallifrey, they escaped and warned the Time Lords of the danger. After meeting Rassilon and the High Council on Gallifrey, Cinder was kidnapped by the Time Lords Karlax and The Castellan, and subjected to a mind probe to verify The Doctor's story. The Doctor rescued her from them and they fled to the Death Zone on Gallifrey, and took Borusa, who was being used by Rassilon as a possibility engine, from his captivity in the Dark Tower at its center. After the Time Lords decided that the best course of action was to destroy Moldox, and all the surrounding systems by using the Tear of Isha on the Eye of Tantalus, a black hole being used by the Daleks to power their temporal cannon, and thereby killing billions of sentient beings, she and the doctor fled with the Time Lords' possibility engine. During their time together The Doctor and Cinder realised that there was more to life than fighting the time war and planned to travel together after the Daleks where defeated. However she was shot and killed by Karlax, a Time Lord who had been sent to kill The Doctor, in order to remove the random elements from possibility engine predictions, before this could happen. She threw herself between them, taking the shot meant for The Doctor. After her death the Doctor left Karlax to die at the hands of the Dalek Eternity Circle. After the liberation of Moldox, The Doctor located the remains of Cinder's family and buried them at their homestead. The Doctor (but not the reader) discovers her real name and places a proper marker with it on her grave. Before leaving, he makes her a promise. "No more." It is implied that Cinder's death prompted the doctor to decide to use The Moment to destroy both Time Lords and Daleks.

Mila managed to transfer her afflictions to Charley, while simultaneously adopting Charley's physical form. She was then able to travel with the Doctor, pretending to be Charley, while the real Charley was left invisible and alone. Eventually Charley was cured by the Viyrans and Mila gave her life to save the Doctor. The Viyrans also altered the Sixth Doctor's memories so that he remembers his adventures with Charley as being with Mila's name and face, thus avoiding the potential temporal paradox of the Sixth Doctor meeting an older Charley before his eighth incarnation would save the younger one.

She is now a convict on a space-station prison where the inmates are subject to repeated memory wipes, supposedly to rehabilitate them but actually to feed parasitic lifeforms called the Memovax. The Doctor defeats the Memovax and rescues Majenta. Her memories do not return, however, and holding the Doctor responsible for this, she insists on staying with him until he finds a way to reverse the process. Elements of Majenta's past subsequently come to light in the stories "Mortal Beloved" (DWM #406-407), "The Age of Ice" (DWM# 408-410) and "The Crimson Hand" (DWM# 416-420), in which it is revealed that she is part of a powerful crime organisation called the Crimson Hand, a group of ruthless beings who possessed the Manus Mallificus, a hand-shaped device that can reshape reality. Having accepted their invitation to join the group, Majenta is horrified by their use of the Malus to destroy an inhabited planet. She attempts to escape but at the last minute accepts the Crimson Hand's offer to rejoin them, and seemingly destroys the Doctor. Majenta then attempts to use the Malus to convert her home planet, Vessica, into a utopia. When a spatial rift threatens Veccia, and the inhabitants rebel against her rule, Majenta calls back the Doctor, who in reality she has only sent away. With the Doctor's help, Majenta cuts the rest of the Hand off from their power source, destroying them and nearly dying in the process. Majenta then settles on the planet Redemption ("The Deep Hereafter", DWM #412).
