Empress Theodosia Viromaro is the current head of state of the [[Empire of Kythira|Kythiran Empire]]. She has ruled since the start of the Fifth Era, ever since her father, the former [[Emperor Louis Viromaro]], was forced to abdicate in favour of her by the [[Reforma Carta]], following the defeat during the [[Kythiran Invasion of Imperius]]. Her rule has been characterised by mending relations with the [[The Raggisar Republic|Raggisar Republic]], increasing public support of House Viromaro, and improving relations between the six kingdoms and The Crown. Her full formal title is: "''Her Imperial Highness Theodosia of House Viromaro, High-Queen of Attica, High-Queen of Ardoragh, High-Queen of Alcanzar, High-Queen of Camuria, High-Queen of the Heartlands and High-Queen of Redstonia, Grand Duchess of Helmira, Empress of all Kythirans."'' 

== Youth ==
Princess Theodosia Viromaro was born in the in the late Fourth Era in Fort Winterhal. She grew up in the Imperial Palace in Helmira. Once her younger brother, Prince Charles Viromaro was born two years later, it was assumed she would be married off in the future but would serve no further role in government. She studied medicine at both the Imperial University in Helmira, after which she moved to Ardoria, against her father's wishes, to study at Ardoria University, where she would earn her doctorate. She was known as a hardworking, quiet student, who often used her vast Viromaro allowance of 10,000 Florynts a month to help the local poor of Ardoria. In the weekends she was a frequent guest of [[House Hjarta|Lady Hjarta]], using her access to the Viromaro fortune to help support her efforts of conserving Ardoragh's rich nature reserves. When not at the Hjarta Palace she would live in the Skaði Palace.  

When the Kythiran Invasion of Imperius began, she and her brother, Crown Prince Charles Viromaro, were called back to Helmira to join the war effort. Charles was promoted to Admiral, and was put in charge of the Second Attican Fleet. Theodosia was send to Imperius, serving as a doctor in Dorwall and Chesterfield. After the assassination of her mother, Empress Prisca Viromaro, she was send back to Helmira, where she took up residence in the Villa Altojardin, under heavy protection by the Imperial Guard.    

== Ascension to Power ==
The Reforma Carta suddenly brought Princess Theodosia back into the forefront. Article X stated: 

"(...) ''the Emperor must abdicate his throne in favour of his first-born child, Princess Theodosia Viromaro.".'' 

The Imperial Chancellor immediately took Theodosia under his guidance. Within 48 hours after the signing of the Reforma Carta, Emperor Louis Viromaro had signed his formal abdication. Three days after Theodosia was crowned Empress, in a sober coronation ceremony in the White-Gold Tower. Her younger brother, Prince Charles Viromaro, was not present at the coronation, for he was using the event as a distraction to steal a part of the Viromaro fortune hidden in the Sanssouci Palace, after which he went into a self-imposed exile as a pretender to the Kythiran throne, refusing to acknowledge his sister's legitimacy. Her father was banned from the coronation, although he was present in Helmira at the time.  

== Life as Empress ==
