Rhi, entering Violet's room: Why are you taking so long to get ready? Violet, out of breath: I..I just can't find anything to wear Rhi, opening the cupboard: What? You have lots of clothes. Lets see, shirts, trousers, hi Xaden, jackets, more shirts

Love, in all its forms, is the most powerful weapon we have because love is a form of hope and, like hope, love abides in the face of everything.

Another commission for @bishopmyrielfundraiser, thank you @thursdayj for commissioning me and for your kind contribution to the fundraiser ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I know it is far from recommended, but what could happen if someone under 100 or 200 has an accident and regenerates?

What happens if a Gallifreyan regenerates too early?

Regeneration is always a complex, high-risk biological process for anyone of any age, and young Gallifreyans are especially vulnerable because their bodies are still developing.

Gallifreyan maturation isn't just about ageing—it's about biological stabilisation. Before First Maturation, their bones are still transitioning from cartilage to solid bone, their skin is denser than an adult's, and their cellular structure is still "settling". Regenerating too early could disrupt this process in unpredictable and potentially catastrophic ways.

⚠️ Possible Risks of Pre-Maturation Regeneration

🧬 1. Unstable Cellular Formation

Regeneration is supposed to replace damaged cells and rebuild the body in a controlled manner. However, in a young Gallifreyan, their cells are still in flux, meaning the regeneration could overcompensate or underdevelop critical tissues.

Potential issues:

Incomplete skeletal development – Bones could regenerate incompletely or remain partially cartilage.

Hyper-dense or too-fragile tissue – Their skin might not form properly, either staying too thick to be flexible or too weak to be protective.

Malformed organs – The body might "guess wrong" about proportions, leading to oversized or underdeveloped internal structures.

💥 2. Total Loss of Control

Regeneration requires a certain level of mental and biological control, something most young Gallifreyans lack. The Time Academy trains students in regenerative control, and they don't gain full mastery until after First Maturation.

Potential issues:

Unstable form – The body could shift chaotically between multiple faces before settling.

Spontaneous secondary regeneration – The body might reject the first result and try again.

Extreme post-regenerative sickness – The young Gallifreyan could be incapacitated for far longer than usual, or even become comatose.

🌀 3. Memory & Personality Fragmentation

Because regeneration rewrites neural pathways, a young mind may not be able to adapt properly. Their sense of self could be thrown into complete disarray, causing:

Memory inconsistencies (losing core aspects of identity).

Severe personality swings (becoming an unstable mix of past and present).

Cognitive issues (difficulty with learning, processing information, or time sense distortion).

⏳ 4. Reduced Regeneration Count / Lifespan Instability

A premature regeneration could burn through too much of their finite regenerative energy. This might shorten their total regeneration cycle or cause future regenerations to be unstable.

🛑 Can a Young Gallifreyan Be Trained to Handle It?

Yes, but only to a point.

Attendance at the Time Academy significantly improves regenerative control.

The fourth DNA strand, introduced when a student completes 6th Grade (as young as 125), helps stabilise regeneration.

Even then, it remains seriously risky for any pre-maturation Gallifreyan to regenerate.

🏫 So …

Best case scenario, everything is fine. Worst case scenario, the regeneration fails catastrophically, causing permanent biological instability, severe deformities, or even permanent death. It's really not worth the risk, kids.
