'''Daughter/Sister of Mine''' was a member of a criminal family known only as the [[Family of Blood]].


== Biography ==
Aphasia was the daughter of [[Serif]] (who had made modifications to her) and the mother of [[Hoff]], and appeared as a young girl with a [[Balloon (Human Nature)|balloon]], which she was connected to. She could command the balloon to pursue and kill people, and when [[Bernice Summerfield]] popped it, Aphasia fell screaming in pain. She had a hidden pouch in her wrist where she concealed black capsules that released lethal gas.
She appeared to be the youngest member, as she possessed the body of [[Lucy Cartwright]], a little girl and the youngest of the possessed humans. ([[TV]]: ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]'') With her harmless appearance, she was able to infiltrate places, such as the dance hall and the [[Farringham School for Boys]], the latter of which resulted in the death of headmaster [[Rocastle]] when he disregarded warnings not to approach her and was promptly vaporised. [[Joan Redfern (TV character)|Joan Redfern]] believed Lucy's parents realised Daughter of Mine was not their child, and were swiftly killed by her with an energy weapon before they could impede the Family's plans.

She was also somewhat cowardly and was not above running away when the odds turned against her. When [[Tim Latimer]] fired a small sample of the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s essence and memories from his fobwatch directly into her face, she fled in terror upon witnessing some of the Doctor’s darker moments.

Aphasia of the family Dubraxine was an Aubertide who, along with her family, followed the Seventh Doctor to Earth in 1914 in an attempt to gain his biodata and become Time Lords, complete with psychic powers and regenerative abilities.

Aphasia was the daughter of Serif (who had made modifications to her) and the mother of Hoff, and appeared as a young girl with a balloon, which she was connected to. She could command the balloon to pursue and kill people, and when Bernice Summerfield popped it, Aphasia fell screaming in pain. She had a hidden pouch in her wrist where she concealed black capsules that released lethal gas.

As an Aubertide, Aphasia ate meat, trying to catch the cat Wolsey and later eating a sparrow. She later ate a nurse to assume her form when weakened, afterwards discarding it to become a girl again. Her personality was psychopathic, wanting to look into the Time Vortex so she could see horrible things, shooting a stone Gargoyle because she hated gargoyles, and being interested in watching Greeneye's sexual conquests.

During the Dubraxine assult on Hulton College to obtain the biodata pod containing the Doctor's Time Lord DNA, students lead by Rocastle shot and killed Aphasia, who tried to release another gas capsule in her final moments but failed. Enraged, the rest of her family followed ceremony and ate her entire body, using a fusion bomb to turn the entire school to glass as a tomb for her. Timothy Dean later showed John Smith the possible future of a Gallifrey taken over by the Aubertides, where a statue had been erected in memory of Aphasia. As Smith helped the Doctor become himself again, this future was averted. (PROSE: Human Nature)
