Lady '''Ann Cranleigh''' (née '''Talbot''') was an aristocratic young woman physically almost identical to the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s companion [[Nyssa]].
[[Lady]] '''Ann Cranleigh''' (née '''Talbot''') was the wife of [[Charles Cranleigh]], having previously been engaged to his brother, [[George Cranleigh|George]]. She was almost identical to [[Nyssa]], a fact which the [[Fifth Doctor]] exploited to trick [[Nephthys]].

=== George's disappearance ===
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]].

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]], but she knew that she would never forget him. She took to locking the [[bedroom]] door during her visits to Cranleigh Hall to feel safe, with Charles laughed at. ([[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. At the 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]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (TV story)}})
On [[11 June]] [[1925]], Ann was introduced to [[Nyssa]], who was practically identical to her, by Charles and initially assumed that she must be a Talbot from [[Worcestershire]]. She provided fancy dress for the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Tegan Jovanka]], [[Adric]] and Nyssa for a [[party]], giving her double with a costume identical to her own so that they would be indistinguishable. At the party, she was grabbed by George, who had put on the Doctor's costume complete with a mask, and fainted after watching him kill [[James (Black Orchid)|James]]. She subsequently accused the Doctor of attacking her and he was [[arrest]]ed, but she learnt the truth of George's survival from [[Madge Cranleigh|Madge]] and Charles and mourned him after he kidnapped Nyssa and fell to his death. ([[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]]: {{cs|Time & Time Again (comic story)}})
