The Doctor Who Christmas special, entitled The Snowmen, re-introduced us to the character of Clara (UK Soap Emmerdale's Jenna-Louise Coleman), previously seen in an episode in the last series entitled Asylum of the Daleks.
In AotD, Clara was unknowingly a Dalek whom helped the Doctor and his companions escape a planet used to imprison insane Daleks. Her character was killed off at the end of this episode.
In The Snowmen Clara is commoner who moonlights as the governess to a single fathers two children, amidst a story in which an eccentric aristocrat played by Richard E. Grant, is using telepathic snow, manifesting as terrifying Snowmen to terrorize the family in hope of acquiring a body frozen in the ice of a pond on the families estate. At the end of the episode Clara again dies.
The trailer for the new series (see link below), due April 2013, shows a present day version of Clara (actually the exact same character) accompanying the Doctor as his new companion.

Who is this Clara? How can she exist as the same person in three different time periods? Is this a result of something the Doctor has done in the past? Or maybe something he has yet to do? Are the rumors of River Songs return true?
April cannot come soon enough...
Svanya, well remembered about Karen Gillan.
However, the character of Clara Oswin Oswlad is the same character in the new series as it was in the Asylum of the Daleks and the Snowmen, she is referred to in the trailer for the upcoming series as the girl who died twice - same girl, same character.
