Rose is as much defined by her relationship to the Doctor as River is.

As much as I'm not happy with what their romantic subplot did to both Rose and Ten's characterizations, nobody on the show is as defined by their relationship to the Doctor as River is.

You could take Martha, Rose, Clara (probably), heck, even Amy and Rory, and think up a Turn Left-style AU about their lives and relationships if they'd never met the Doctor. You can't do that for River. Even if you handwave the circumstances of her conception and birth, you still can't do it for River. Handwave a dozen times, there's still little to nothing to work with- virtually all of her actions and motivations come back to him in the end. There may be ways in which she's a stronger or more likeable character than some of the other companions, but that's not one of them.
