His body...there isn't one because he's alive. The whole body changes. One minute he was a big chin and floppy hair, and then I was looking at a man with angry eyebrows and a thick accent. And the first thing he did was run away from me.
[ Well, not the first thing, but she's still hurt about it the things he did (or didn't) do. She backtracks though, letting out a quiet breath. ]
The Doctor's species is called Time Lord. Time Lords get twelve regenerations either at the end of their natural span of life which is thousands of years, or until they get hurt so badly they need a new body. The Doctor you knew was on his last cycle. Because of that he never told me how it worked, how regeneration happened.
[ She feels her throat tighten but she keeps going to get through it. ]
So when I found out he was dying I started begging the Time Lords that were left to give him another cycle and they did. I don't think he wanted them, but they did it.
