Sally Sparrow was a photographer who liked to study the past. She said she liked old things because they made her feel "sad" albeit in a good way. Sally was compassionate and stayed by Billy's bed until he died in order to comfort him. She was also brave and although she did panic when the Weeping Angels surrounded her and Larry, she still managed to return the TARDIS to the Doctor. After her encounter with the Angels, Sally was quite distant with Larry, still obsessing over how the Doctor knew everything she did at Wester Drumlins. Eventually, she met a slightly younger version of the Doctor and gave him a packet with all the information on the angels that he needed, ending her obsession and allowing her to start a relationship with Larry | Sally Sparrow was a photographer who liked to study the past.
