Josie Day

Josephine "Josie" Day was a painter and companion to the Eighth Doctor.

Biography
Josie discovered a house owned by the Doctor. She thought the house to be abandoned and took up residence there. Josie took it upon herself to patch up the house to the best of her ability, even rearranging the Doctor's book collection. She worked on her artwork in the house, selling on completed pieces to people in the local area.

Whilst painting one day, the Eighth Doctor showed up at the house and questioned what she was doing there. He went on to explain that it was his house and that he was looking for a copy of Jane Eyre that he had left behind. The Doctor and Josie were interrupted by Mrs Fellowes who informed them that Josie's paintings had come to life and were attacking the village. The Doctor scanned Josie with his sonic screwdriver and discovered that she was coated in animae particles, which due to the reactivation of one of the Doctor's old telepathic circuits had caused the trouble in the village.

The trio left the Doctor's house and found that Josie's paintings were rounding up the townsfolk. The Doctor told Josie to create an ending to the story as he was captured by a pair of Witherkins. Josie then ran back to the house and drew a picture of the Doctor. The picture promptly came to life and destroyed the old telepathic circuit, returning the paintings to their original state. The Doctor invited Josie to travel with him, indicating that their first stop would be Lumin's World. (COMIC: The Pictures of Josephine Day)

On Lumin's World they found themselves in the middle of a warzone. Josie was hit by a piece of crystal that fell from the sky. The crystal came from a Spherion, and began to grow over her body. The Doctor communicated with the Spherions and discovered that they had no idea their offspring were incubated inside of living beings. The Spherions used their harmonics to shatter the crystals inside Josie's body, freeing her. The Doctor then showed Josie a room inside the TARDIS where she could paint.
