== History == | |||
The Familiar popped up quite often throughout [[Earth]]'s history — most often in anecdotes told by lonely travellers who had been "guided across a treacherous moor" by the supposed spirits of long-dead loved ones or friends that appeared to them. These "living ghosts" were in fact the Familiar, who read could read people's thoughts and use the information to create a near-perfect double of the one they loved most, solely for the altruistic purpose of helping them. After the [[Rory Williams]] got the Familiar to heal the [[Eleventh Doctor]], his accumulated pain was too much for it and it was destroyed. However, a ghost of it remained and the Doctor used it to give [[Maria (Dead of Winter)|Maria]], one of its creations, back her mother.
