Hame
Novice Hame was a member of the Sisters of Plenitude on the planet New Earth.
Biography
Novice Hame was tending to the Face of Boe in Ward 26 of the New New York hospital when, along with others of her religious order, she was arrested by the New New York Police Department as conspirators in secretly breeding "the Flesh", cloned humans infected with all known diseases to serve as research subjects.

Subsequently, Novice Hame was ordered to look after the Face of Boe as a punishment for the crimes she had committed as one of the Sisters of Plenitude.
When the airborne Bliss virus killed the New Earth Senate and most of the planet's population, Hame was saved by the Face of Boe, smoke from whose tank shielded and protected her. She aided the Face in sealing off the Undercity of New New York, saving those on the Motorway and in the streets there.
The Tenth Doctor returned, thirty years after her arrest. The Face sent Hame to find him. She found him deep in the Motorway whilst he was looking for Martha Jones. They teleported to the New New York Senate so that the Face of Boe could deliver his final message. Hame was with them as he died. The Doctor was sure that Hame had actually reformed and told Martha Jones that "they'll have Novice Hame", assuming she would now have a larger role in the governance of New New York and/or the planet.

Personality
As a member of the Sisters of Plenitude, Hame didn't seem to be entirely comfortable with using "the Flesh" to research cures for diseases but she didn't question the ideas of the rest of the Sisterhood and just did her job. When the Doctor confronted her about her crimes against cloned, but living, humans, Hame protested that they were not true humans and also added that they needed test subjects because without them they couldn't cope with all the diseases they had to deal with.
By the time she was reunited with the Doctor thirty years later, Hame had dealt with the guilt she felt for her crimes but still appeared to feel some remorse about what the Sisters of Plenitude had done to "the Flesh" and told the Doctor that she had searched for redemption. She greeted the Doctor as though he were an old friend, despite the fact that they had not parted on good terms, and hugged him when she found him.
Hame had a good relationship with the Face of Boe, keeping him company while working for the Sisters of Plenitude and looking after him after she was arrested. The Face protected her from a lethal virus that was set loose on New Earth. When the Face of Boe died, Hame was devastated and started weeping. She also referred to the Face as "my lord".
