Ann Talbot, later was an aristocratic young woman physically almost identical to the Doctor's companion Nyssa. Unlike Nyssa, she had a mole on her left shoulder.
Profile
When the Doctor and his friends met her in 1925 at her home, Cranleigh Hall. She was engaged to George Cranleigh. After his "death" during an expedition to find the black orchid, she became the fiancée of his brother. Lord Charles Cranleigh. He had not, in fact, died, but tortured, mutilated and driven violently insane by the Kojabe tribe.
At a fancy dress ball at, Ann and Nyssa wore the same costume, that of a butterfly, in order to prank the other guests, a game which could have turned deadly when George Cranleigh abducted her. (DW: Black Orchid)
Ann married Charles Cranleigh the following year. The Doctor attended the reception and asked a favour of the new Lady Cranleigh: that she impersonate Nyssa as part of an elaborate plan to defeat the Osirians. (MA:The Sands of Time)
