Veronica Beatrice "Sally" Lockhart (later Goldberg) is a fictional character in a series of books by Philip Pullman.
Sally Lockhart is a dazzling 16-year-old, middle-class orphan in Victorian England whose father taught her a variety of useful things: accounting, marksmanship, finance and shooting. Sally's high intelligence opens a career path for her as a financial consultant, an extremely difficult job for a woman to obtain considering women at this point still were refused the right to vote. She has since childhood been plagued by frightening nightmares. Sally is also a very curious person.
