Bob's Parents
The_Sibelis:
@morris& Mira: I was thinking lash existed specifically in his shadow in the psychological sense.(which is exactly what ID Harry is) where as Bonea was growing in the same spot, but was never given precise boundaries in it, so she kept growing the inability to contain said growth caused the headaches. Iirc, mab said the other result would be Harry's death and a creature walking around in his body or some such? She'd have replaced him outright in his own mind. Lash just wanted it use the space to feed on his soul.
Alot of the DF has subtle psychological undercurrents in it's metaphysical makeup.
Fairly certain, the shadow, Nemesis, the mirror of ones true self sans any mask,(mask, mantle) ect. Are all interrelated in the DFs higher concepts. Things that might not be touched upon but make the story go round

That is all well and good, but Bonea is a physical creature. She may not have a body, but like Bob she exists in physical form. It suggest that Bob was created in much the same way..

mmm, no? She exists in reality as a spiritual form. Meaning unlike ghosts she has some pull or give to stay in the physical world, in this case the spell work of her vessel(still up in the air if it has the same deal attached to it bob's does, I think so, not by intent but by literal design)
Naturally they were created in similar fashion, I figure that was part of the point in naming her specifically a Soi. Though I'm wondering if Bob didn't kill his host

Maybe I didn't make myself clear, by "physical" I mean no solid, you most likely put your hand through either of them without harming them. In that respect they are like a ghost, but clearly they are not. I think another point about Bob, he can leave his skull and go riding on Mister's back to go places, but he cannot or at least hasn't possessed him.. Which sets him apart from say the Corpsetaker.

Regarding: Lasciel.
I read that as, from her POV, that Lash was her daughter.
