River Song, earlier a doctor and eventually a professor, was a mysterious archaeologist. She was also a convicted murderer who shared a close relationship with the Doctor. Significantly, she knew the Doctor's true name, which he would tell her at some point in his future. She would often greet him by saying "Hello, sweetie", whether in message or in person. Although the Tenth Doctor's first meeting with her ended in her physical death, they had many adventures, from the Doctor's perspective, afterwards. Like Melanie Bush and Charley Pollard before her, she was an example of the rare companion whose timeline was not synchronous with that of the Doctor.
Biography
River Song was an archaeologist already very familiar with the Doctor
when they first met, from his perspective, in the 51st century. She was, in fact, a future companion of his who would (or, from her perspective, had) travelled with him on and off. According to her, he would come to trust her implicitly, though at the start of their relationship, from his perspective, he was generally suspicious of her and occasionally almost hostile to her. Immediately prior to her encounter with the Weeping Angels, she was imprisoned in the Stormcage Containment Facility for the murder of someone she described as, "A very good man. Best man I've ever known". (DW: The Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone)
Meetings with the Doctor
America
After receiving an invitation containing geographical co-ordinate from the Doctor, River escaped from the Stormcage Containment Facility, in order to meet him in United States of America in 2011. River met the Doctor, Amy, and Rory in a cafe in the middle of the Utah desert. The Doctor took all of them to a picnic,where they saw the Doctor murdered by someone wearing an astronaut's space suit. River, Amy, and Rory cremated the Doctors body in a 'Viking Funeral'. They returned to the cafe and discovered another Doctor, approximately two hundred years younger than the Doctor they saw die.
They next travelled to the White House and then to an abandoned warehouse in Florida. River went into a maintenance tunnel in the floor. While down there, she found a nest of the Silence, but forgot about them. With Rory, she then discovered a control room to a time ship. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)
The group (including Canton) were separated and tried to find out what was going on. Amy, Rory, the Doctor and River were being hunted by the FBI. Three months later, she was chased to the 50th floor of a building by a group of FBI agents (including Canton) who had been hypnotised by the Silence. She promptly fell off the scaffolding to avoid getting shot, and fell into the TARDIS' pool, where she met the Doctor, Amy, Rory and a future version of Canton. The group (minus Amy and Canton) headed to NASA, where the Doctor had been caught sneaking around. River fetched Nixon via TARDIS, who ordered NASA security to let the Doctor go. On Canton'scall, the group began to search for Amy. River saw a spacesuit which seemed to have been broken out of repairing itself, and realised that the girl said the 'spaceman was gonna eat [her]' and it did, which prompted her to break out. They then tracked Amy's signal to the control room, and held the Silence at gunpoint as Canton transmitted a video of a Silent saying 'you should kill us all on sight' to interrupt the moon-landing, triggering the human race to kill any Silents they see. She then shot all the Silents around her and retreated into the TARDIS.
As the Doctor dropped her off at the prison she kissed him goodbye, and realised that for him it was their first kiss. She looked on as the TARDIS disappeared, knowing that she only had a few more meetings with the Doctor.
