Novice

Novice was a title held by junior members of an organisation, often one with religious overtones.

When the Tenth Doctor described the ritual by which young Time Lords, taken from their families at the age of 8, were taken before the Untempered Schism for initiation, he recalled that the Master was a "novice" when he was taken before the Schism for his own initiation right. (TV: The Sound of Drums [+]Loading...["The Sound of Drums (TV story)"])

When she was disguised as a nun, it was remarked by Thomas Cromwell that River Song was "no ordinary novice". (AUDIO: The Eighth Piece [+]Loading...["The Eighth Piece (audio story)"])

The title existed among the Sisters of Plenitude of the catkind, as evidenced by Novice Hame (TV: New Earth [+]Loading...["New Earth (TV story)"]) and Novice Prin. (TV: The God Complex [+]Loading...["The God Complex (TV story)"])

The title was also in use among the Plume Coteries or Bookkeepers as part of the hierarchical system of librarians within the infinite Library. Teenagers Maritsa and Callum were Novices, dressed in brown robes, when they rescued Coloth from the "restricted section" and ran away. Over three months into their elopement, they reflected that as early as a month into it, they would surely have lost their ranks as Novices if they gave themselves up, and that by now their punishments would be worse, with Maritsa stating "they'd put us in the stocks, and that's if they're feeling nice".
