Sally Salter was a transgender friend of Mickey Smith, who was part of his Bad Wolf band. She was "sharp, spiky-haired and cautious", and always wore a smile.
In 2005, Sally hadn't returned to her parents' house since she began transitioning. She also had no place of her own, keeping clothes and a toothbrush at five different flats across the Powell Estate, including Mickey's one-bedroom.
She was outside with bandmates Mook Jayasundera and Patrice Okereke when the Nestene invasion of Earth began and only narrowly survived after being cornered by several Autons but they were deactivated before delivering the killing blow. (PROSE: Rose)
Behind the scenes
Sally was the first trans character in the DWU to be presented in a positive light, though she only had a relatively minor part in the 2018 Rose novelisation.
Around 7 months after Russell T Davies' novelisation was published, AUDIO: The Jabari Countdown by Big Finish Productions introduced the first trans character to play a major role in a DWU story, Eleanor Blake. Eleanor had a brief romance with Chris Cwej, and worked alongside the Seventh Doctor to save Earth.
