Lady Ann Talbot (née Lady Cranleigh) was an aristocratic young woman physically almost identical to the Fifth Doctor's companion Nyssa. Unlike Nyssa, she had a mole on her left shoulder.
Biography
The Fifth Doctor and his friends met Ann on 11 June 1925, at a cricket match and fancy dress party at Cranleigh Hall, in rural England. Formerly engaged to George Cranleigh, she became the fiancée of Charles' brother, Lord Charles Cranleigh, after George was presumed dead during his hunt for the rare black orchid. George had not died, but had been tortured, mutilated and driven violently insane by the Kojabe tribe.
At a fancy dress ball, Ann and Nyssa wore the same butterfly costume to prank the other guests. (DW: Black Orchid)
Searching for segments of the Key to Time, Ace briefly visited Cranleigh Hall in 1925. She saw a woman who was either Nyssa or Ann Talbot; she could not tell which, but she didn't approach or speak to her. (DWM: Time & Time Again)
Ann married Charles Cranleigh 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 Osirians. (MA: The Sands of Time)
