F is for... Fletcher, Carys


A young woman from suburban Cardiff who became the host of an alien parasite. This had been accidentally released by Torchwood's Gwen Cooper from a meteorite fragment which fell close to the city. Carys had been attending a night club and had gone outside to an alleyway when the parasite attacked, in the form of a purple gas. The parasite compelled her to have sex, the men being disintegrated and absorbed at the point of climax. Carys found herself increasingly unable to control the urges, and attacked her ex-boyfriend and others. The Torchwood team discovered that the parasite would eventually kill her. Locked up by Torchwood, she was able to seduce Gwen and Owen Harper in order to escape. She was traced to a fertility clinic where she killed a number of donors, before Gwen agreed to take the parasite from her. As it left Carys' body, Captain Jack captured it within a portable forcefield. Starved of a host, it quickly died, and Carys was freed from it.

Played by: Sara Lloyd Gregory. Appearances: TW 1.2 Day One.
