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.

=== Helping the Doctor ===
=== Marriage ===
Ann married Charles Cranleigh [[1926|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 [[Osiran]] [[Nephthys]]. By having Ann accompany him to [[1996]] and disguise herself as an elderly Nyssa, the Doctor was able to trick Nephthys into travelling back and forth between 1926 and 1996 via her Osiran [[time corridor]], culminating in her ageing to death. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Sands of Time (novel)}})
Ann [[marriage|married]] Charles in a [[church]] ceremony officiated by a [[bishop]] in [[1926]]. A reception was held at [[Cranleigh Hall]] and was attended by the [[Fifth Doctor]], whom Ann asked to bring [[Nyssa]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] and [[Adric]] for a visit when possible. Whilst she [[dance]]d with the Doctor, he asked her for her assistance in defeating [[Nephthys]].
 
The Doctor temporarily left a [[coma]]tose Nyssa, with Nephthys's reasoning in her mind, in 1926 and collected Ann in [[1996]] to pose as Nyssa's older self. This had the desired effect of confusing Nephthys, who could sense her reasoning in the sleeping Nyssa but not in the older Ann, and caused her to travel backwards and forwards in time until she died. After a brief reunion with Tegan, Ann was returned to [[Oxfordshire]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Sands of Time (novel)}})

Ann had a small face, a slight body and dark [[hair]] which she wore in a bob. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (novelisation)}}) She was indistinguishable from [[Nyssa]] aside from a small mole on her shoulder and her differing haircut, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Black Orchid (TV story)}}) although [[Charles Cranleigh]] was also able to tell them apart from Ann's [[eye]]s.
