Owis
Owis was a Time Lord loomed into the House of Lungbarrow. He was the Doctor's youngest and most controversial cousin.
Appearance and Personality
Owis bore very little physical resemblance to the rest of his Family (a fact he was teased about), and was podgy with curly brown hair.
He was looked down upon and bullied by the rest of his family, partly due to his own dim-wittedness and partly because his very existence was taboo. Being only newly Loomed, Owis was very immature. He developed a mean streak, though it is probable that he did so in response to the teasing he suffered. Owis was trapped in the House of Lungbarrow when it was buried underground, which made him unable to go to the Time Lord Academy (or anywhere else for that matter). He had an extremely limited education. This is likely a big factor in why even at the age of 675 he was still very immature and childish, and just a bit cowardly.
Controversy
Owis was a source of conflict in the Lungbarrow Family, because he was loomed illegally. Each Family had a specific allotment of Cousins, which in the case of Lungbarrow was forty-five. This count included the Doctor in his first incarnation. One day the Kithriarch Quences disowned the Doctor from the Family following an argument in which Quences wanted the Doctor to become the first of the Family to be appointed Lord Cardinal, and the Doctor stubbornly refused to go into politics. Shortly after being disinherited, the Doctor stole a TARDIS and fled Gallifrey. To show that the disinheritance was serious, it was decided to loom a replacement for the Doctor. The replacement born was Owis.
Owis' looming was illegal since the Doctor was not dead and still counted as a tally on the Lungbarrow Loom. Even the Family itself was divided on whether or not Owis should exist. It is possible that the Family may have been able to argue and justify Owis' existence to the Honourable Central Population Directory at the Capitol, had not other circumstances intervened.
The fate of Owis, once finally in the hands of the Capitol, was unknown. (NA: Lungbarrow)
