I’m just wondering why they would model Clara after Sara from Tegan and Sara. Didn’t Clara even say “I’m not a bargain basement stand-in for someone else.” Which would mean might actually be a stand-in for Sara from that band. But why? Is there some sort of significance to Sara? The last series even premiered on their birthday.

I think Clara was modelled after Sara from Tegan and Sara. The 11th Doctor said she’s short, her nose is funny and bossy like Sara from Tegan and Sara. A few episodes ago he said she was bananas about relationships and always writes songs about them. I don’t know. Any thoughts.
