Oh, and ModClara didn't quite hear that middle bit that the Doctor said (Oswin) and when she asked him to repeat he did his usual change the subject thing. She might have subconsciously remembered it, who knows.{{unsigned}}--[[User:ComicBookGoddess|ComicBookGoddess]] [[User talk:ComicBookGoddess|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:08, April 3, 2013 (UTC) | Oh, and ModClara didn't quite hear that middle bit that the Doctor said (Oswin) and when she asked him to repeat he did his usual change the subject thing.

ComicBookGoddess, "ModClara didn't quite hear that middle bit that the Doctor said (Oswin)": She did hear it when he turned up at the front door. She said, "Just Clara Oswald," (i.e., no middle name) '''because''' she'd heard it. | |||
However, if we combine that with some of your other points, we come up with this: | |||
:1. Modern Clara is the only one with a family background that we know at all. As you point out, we saw her mother in the prequel & her father spoke to the Doctor in the episode (albeit off screen). | |||
:2. Modern Clara originated the phrase "run you clever boy and remember" as a password mnemonic (even though, ironically, she couldn't remember the word "mnemonic"). | |||
:3. Modern Clara is the one who gained the computer skills (thanks to the Great Intelligence). | |||
:4. Modern Clara, probably prompted by the Doctor's earlier use of the name, adopted "Oswin" as a username. | |||
:5. Modern Clara was successfully uploaded (at the 2nd attempt) '''after''' all this, so if a copy of the uploaded version was somehow retained by the GI (or by something else) despite the downloading near the end of the episode, that copy would have all these features. | |||
This suggests that Modern Clara is the original & that Victorian Clara & Futuristic Oswin are '''both''' later incarnations. As I said above, we can't tell whether or not Victorian Clara had computer skills because there was nothing for her to use them on. Modern Clara only became consciously aware of them when something happened (conversation with the Doctor) to draw her attention to them. The skills could have been present in Victorian Clara but unknown to her because nothing happened to make her aware of them. | |||
At a guess (& it is '''only''' a guess), I'd say the 3 incarnations we've seen have appeared in reverse order in the character's timeline & the sequence from her point of view is: Clara Oswald (Modern) --> Clara Oswin Oswald (Victorian) --> Oswin Oswald (Futuristic). --[[Special:Contributions/2.101.51.235|2.101.51.235]]<sup>[[User talk:2.101.51.235#top|talk to me]]</sup> 21:39, April 3, 2013 (UTC) | |||
