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


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. 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 foolishly disregarded warnings not to approach her and was promptly vaporised.

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 [[sex]]ual conquests.
When the [[Tenth Doctor]] caught her after her family tried to take his life essence, he trapped her inside every [[mirror]] in existence. He visited her once a year, every year, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]'') across several incarnations, including the [[Seventh Doctor]], the [[The Doctor 2 (Rose)|wheelchair-bound Doctor]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Shadow of a Doubt (audio story)|Shadow of a Doubt]]'') and the [[the Doctor (Battlefield)|redheaded Doctor]].

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

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. 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 foolishly disregarded warnings not to approach her and was promptly vaporised. (TV: Human Nature/The Family of Blood) Despite this, Lucy Cartwright's parents sensed that something was off about their daughter, but were apparently murdered by her with an energy weapon before they could impede the Family's plans.

When the Tenth Doctor caught her after her family tried to take his life essence, he trapped her inside every mirror in existence. He visited her once a year, every year, (TV: The Family of Blood) across several incarnations, including the Seventh Doctor, the wheelchair-bound Doctor, (AUDIO: Shadow of a Doubt) and the redheaded Doctor. (AUDIO: Shadow of a Doubt, WC: The Shadow in the Mirror)

The Tenth Doctor deduced that the Mortal Mirror wasn't a real mirror because "a girl with a red balloon" wasn't inside it. (PROSE: Martha in the Mirror)

Her brother, Son of Mine, wondered if one day the Doctor would forgive her. (TV: The Family of Blood) On Calapia the Thirteenth Doctor thought back to putting "this girl in a mirror" and decided to finally release her, claiming that it no longer suits who she is. (PROSE: The Shadow Passes) She did this on her first visit to the girl, returning her to her home planet. (WC: The Shadow in the Mirror)

Personality

Unlike the rest of her family, who would often scream, shout or utter violent threats, Daughter of Mine rarely spoke and often displayed a cold, detached, pitiless and remorseless personality. She was just as murderous as the rest of her family and did not hesitate to kill Lucy Cartwright’s parents or Rocastle and even coldly stated that she found killing people “funny”.

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. (TV: The Family of Blood)

Behind the scenes

Daughter of Mine is one of the enemies in Legacy mobile game.
