Hmm...

Okay, I have a bit of an idea about who River is...


There was something about the way she said that the Doctor was going to find out who she really is in the trailer for A Good Man Goes to War that makes me think she was hired to kill the Doctor and has come into his company with the intention to make him want & love her to get close to him. I'm sort of thinking that maybe she tries to back out of it in the end but either inadvertently causes his death or needs to kill him. I really, really hope I'm wrong though because I'll be crushed if someone I love so much turns out to be a traitor.

In The Day of the Moon we see that she's a hell of a shot, so it wouldn't be too far fetched to think that maybe she's had some experience as an assassin. The emblem she wears when she works with the Clergy in The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone is the same emblem we see in the background behind the military guy in the preview of A Good Man Goes to War, so it's possible/probable that she's working with them.

She does seem to genuinely care about the doctor but if she just needs to get close to her mark, it could be an act. The only thing that tells me I might be wrong about her though is that she gets the second blue envelope to witness the Doctor's death in The Impossible Astronaut which means that so far in the future for himself he does trust her.

I can't wait to find out about her.
