-'''Lady Ann Talbot''', later '''Lady Cranleigh''' was an aristocratic young woman physically almost identical to the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s companion [[Nyssa]].
+Lady '''Ann Cranleigh''' (née '''Talbot''') was an aristocratic young woman physically almost identical to the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s companion [[Nyssa]].
 == Biography ==
-As a member of the Talbot family, Ann originated from [[Worcestershire]]. Unlike Nyssa, Ann had a mole on her left shoulder — which was the only way to tell the two apart.
+Ann Talbot had relatives in [[Worcestershire]], namely [[Percy Talbot|Percy]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (TV story)}}) and was dedicated to [[charity|charitable]] pursuits. [[George Cranleigh|George]] and [[Charles Cranleigh]] competed for her affections ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}}) and she fell in [[love]] with George, whom she intended to [[marriage|marry]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (TV story)}}) She stayed the [[night]] at [[Cranleigh Hall]] several times. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}})
-The [[Fifth Doctor]] and his companions Nyssa, [[Adric]] and [[Tegan Jovanka]] met Ann on [[11 June]] [[1925]], at a cricket match and fancy dress party at [[Cranleigh Hall]], in [[Oxfordshire]]. Formerly engaged to [[George Cranleigh]], she became the [[fiancée]] of his younger brother, [[Charles Cranleigh|Lord Charles Cranleigh]], after George was presumed dead during his hunt for the rare [[black orchid (flower)|black orchid]]. Unbeknownst to Ann, George had not died but had been tortured, mutilated and driven violently insane by the [[Kojabe]] tribe.
+Following George's disappearance in [[Brazil]] in [[1923]], Ann entered into a relationship with Charles, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (TV story)}}) whom she did not love the same way that she had loved his brother. Charles, however, promised that he would make her love him. She began to have [[nightmare]]s whenever she stayed at Cranleigh Hall and was told that they would subside once she came to terms with George's [[death]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}})
-At a fancy dress ball, Ann and Nyssa wore identical butterfly costumes to play a prank on the other guests. This nearly backfired when George escaped and took Nyssa hostage, mistaking her for Ann, but Charles and the Doctor were able to rescue Nyssa, only for George to fall to his death from the roof of Cranleigh Hall. ([[TV]]: ''[[Black Orchid (TV story)|Black Orchid]]'')

([[TV]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (TV story)}})
-Searching for segments of the [[Key to Time]], the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s companion [[Ace]] briefly visited Cranleigh Hall in 1925. She saw a woman who was either Nyssa or Ann Talbot. She could not tell which as she did not approach or speak to her. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time & Time Again (comic story)|Time & Time Again]]'')

+Ann married Charles Cranleigh [[1926|the following year]]. The Doctor attended the reception and asked a favour of the new Lady Cranleigh: impersonate Nyssa as part of an elaborate plan to defeat the [[Osiran]] [[Nephthys]]. By having Ann accompany him to [[1996]] and disguise herself as an elderly Nyssa, the Doctor was able to trick Nephthys into travelling back and forth between 1926 and 1996 via her Osiran [[time corridor]], culminating in her ageing to death. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Sands of Time (novel)}})
+== Personality ==
+Ann found [[brandy]] unpleasant. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}})
+== Appearance ==
+Ann had a small face, a slight body and dark [[hair]] which she wore in a bob. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}}) She was indistinguishable from [[Nyssa]] aside from a small mole on her shoulder and her differing haircut, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (TV story)}}) although [[Charles Cranleigh]] was also able to tell them apart from Ann's [[eye]]s. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}})
