'''Daniel "Dan" Lewis''' was a [[companion]] of the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]. He joined [[Yasmin Khan]] in [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] as they faced [[the Flux]], an unforeseen threat to the very structure of the cosmos. | |||
Dan lived a simple life in [[Liverpool]] before being thrust into the Doctor's world. He remained open and inquisitive, and challenged [[Karvanista]] when he was taken away from home, to [[outer space]]. He was interested, most of all, in other people. | |||
== Biography == | |||
=== Life in Liverpool === | |||
[[File:Dan at LFC (THA).jpg|thumb|left|Dan Lewis at [[Anfield (stadium)|Anfield]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'')]] | |||
Dan was born an [[Aries]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Welcome to the TARDIS... (TV story)|Welcome to the TARDIS...]]'') He lived in the [[Anfield (suburb)|Anfield]] district of [[Liverpool]] at [[37 Granger Street]] and supported [[Liverpool F.C.]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') | |||
Following the [[2021 Dalek civil war]], [[Dan Lewis' friend|Dan's friend]] read out Dan's [[horoscope]], which foretold that he would find surprises later that year, that the colour [[blue]] and the letter [[D]] would be important and that [[13 (number)|thirteen]] would be his [[lucky number]]. He was told to be prepared for action and to remember that, no matter what, it would not be the end of the [[Earth|world]]. After his friend finished, Dan closed the rear doors of his [[Dan Lewis' Ford Transit|Ford Transit]], turned, and smiled. ([[TV]]: ''[[Welcome to the TARDIS... (TV story)|Welcome to the TARDIS...]]'') | |||
Dan volunteered at [[Jenning Street Food Bank]], but refused to take home [[soup]] for himself when offered, even though he had no food at home. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') | |||
Dan regularly took groups round the [[Museum of Liverpool]] in an unofficial capacity, against the wishes of Museum management. Though [[Diane (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Diane]] had a close personal relationship with Dan, [[Alan (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Alan]] threatened to ban him from the site permanently. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') | |||
=== Meeting the Doctor === | |||
On [[Halloween]] night, 2021, Dan was in [[37 Granger Street|his home]] on [[Granger Street]] in [[Anfield (suburb)|Anfield]], when [[Children (The Halloween Apocalypse)|three children]] came to his house, [[trick-or-treating]]. He gave them the last of his sweets, and they left. A few seconds later, [[Kev (The Halloween Apocalypse)|a man]] came to Dan's home, asking for sweets; Dan turned him away, both because he was an adult, and because he was not even dressed up. | |||
Later that night, Dan was kidnapped by [[Karvanista]], who intended to rescue him from [[the Flux]]. He found himself on [[Karvanista's ship]]. | |||
Meanwhile, the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] and [[Yasmin Khan]] followed Karvanista's trail to Dan's house, which was miniaturised when they triggered technology he had planted there. | |||
The Doctor and Yaz came to rescue him, confronted Karvanista, and took Dan aboard [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') | |||
=== Travels in the TARDIS === | |||
[[File:Thirteenth Doctor distress.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Thirteenth Doctor]] sends a [[distress call]] while [[Yasmin Khan|Yaz]] and Dan are at the console. ([[WC]]: ''[[The Flux is Coming... (webcast)|The Flux is Coming...]]'')]] | |||
Both Dan and Yaz were studiously operating [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] when the Thirteenth Doctor sent a [[distress call]] about the arrival of [[the Flux]]. Dan then called out to the Doctor, saying that he and Yaz needed her help. ([[WC]]: ''[[The Flux is Coming... (webcast)|The Flux is Coming...]]'') | |||
== Psychological profile == | |||
=== Personality === | |||
Dan considered others' needs often before his own, volunteering at his [[Jenning Street Food Bank|local food bank]] and giving out treats for [[Halloween]] while he did not have [[food]] for himself at home. According to [[Wilma (The Halloween Apocalypse)|Wilma]], whom he volunteered with, his continued refusal to take food home was a matter of [[pride]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') | |||
[[Liverpool]] was central to Dan's identity. He knew much about the city, and felt strongly about its rivalry with [[Leeds]]. He even distrusted [[Yasmin Khan]], at least in jest, for her association with [[Sheffield]], which was "too close to Leeds". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') | |||
When faced with the unknown, Dan tended towards quick, rational conclusions, and had no trouble asserting his reality. He reasoned that an adult [[trick-or-treating|trick-or-treater]] should not be given [[candy]], that [[Karvanista]] must have been play-acting in [[costume]], and should leave his home, and later, when faced with the reality of [[Karvanista's ship|Karvanista's spaceship]], that he must have captured ''Dan'' in particular for a reason. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') | |||
Nonetheless, he remained open to new possibilities, and adapted quickly, even joking that he had a friend with a [[TARDIS]] which was even "bigger", moments into first encountering [[dimensional transcendentalism]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'') | |||
=== Skills === | |||
As part of the crew, Dan played his part in operating the controls of the [[TARDIS control console]]. ([[WC]]: ''[[The Flux is Coming... (webcast)|The Flux is Coming...]]'') | |||
== Behind the scenes == | |||
* As Dan Lewis is said to be an [[Aries]], this would place the character's date of birth from [[20 March]] to [[21 April]], if the [[Zodiac]] of the real world holds true in the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]]. | |||
* Dan appeared in the [[T:VALID|invalid]] webcast ''[[A Message (webcast)|A Message]]''. | |||
[[File:Dan art card DWM 570.jpg|thumb|The art card of Dan Lewis in [[DWM 570]].]] | |||
* An art card of Dan Lewis was included in [[DWM 570]]. | |||
* Dan Lewis' apparent dislike for Leeds, and nearby Sheffield, in ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]]'' is most likely banter, stemming from the historic rivalry between [[Lancashire]] and [[Yorkshire]]. Dan is a born Liverpudlian, and the city of [[Liverpool]] was historically part of [[Lancashire]] before the reform of county boundaries in [[1974]]; both Leeds and [[Sheffield]] are typical Yorkshire cities. | |||
