The Panopticon/Daughter of Mine merged with Aphasia? And other changes.
So, I started this discussion a while ago at Talk: Daughter of Mine but it hasn't really gained too much attention so I thought that I would bring it to the forums. The basis of this discussion is that the Daughter of Mine / Aphasia pages should be merged, and other changes should be made to the Family of Blood.
In the Doctor Who: Lockdown! story Shadow of a Doubt, Bernice Summerfield meets Daughter of Mine (the incarnation seen in Human Nature / The Family of Blood) and identifies her as Aphasia (the incarnation seen in the novel Human Nature). Obviously, Bernice could be mistaken - but The Shadow in the Mirror intentionally goes further to portray the television version as having the same characteristics as the novel version. For example; in the novel, Aphasia could command her balloon to pursue and kill people - and in this story Daughter of Mine prepares to "release [the balloon] to eat the Doctor's face".
Several references are made to Daughter of Mine being "not quite" Aphasia, but then it is recognised that her story "had happened many times in many ways, she hadn't been present for all of them".
In the mirror appeared a little girl with a balloon, I had good reason to be afraid. I knew a girl like that, I had been hunted by a girl like that. But this wasn't quite her.
She asked them how she could be sorry for a story that had happened many times in many ways, she hadn't even been present for all of them.
I asked her if she was sorry for what she did to me, she tried to tell me that was a different her. I said that was a story I had heard before.
Conclusion, it is clear that Daughter of Mine and Aphasia are incarnations of the same individual. Bernice Summerfield identifies the characters as the same person, and Daughter of Mine calls Aphasia "a different her". I propose that each member of the Family of Blood's pages are edited to show that they are Aubertides, while a merger takes place between Aubris and Family of Blood's home planet. Daughter of Mine / Aphasia's pages should be merged (here is a sandbox of how that would look; User:Xx-connor-xX/sandbox/Aphasia).
