Lena Toras

Princess Lena Toras (nee Livingston) was the younger sister of Queen Beatrice of Rumburg and wife of King Romus Toras of Rizia. She held the titles of Princess of Rumburg, Crown Princess Consort of Rizia, Duchess of Tzarsbourgh and Protectress of the Northern Passages until her untimely death in 1942.

While her sister was often a divisive figure, Princess Lena projected a softer, gentler image of the Rumburgian monarchy. She struggled with shyness growing up and was reluctant to speak in public for most of her life; however, those closest to her spoke of her charm and eloquence. When still in her teens, she spearheaded Lena's Litter, a royal initiative to find homes for the dogs whose owners perished in Queen Beatrice's annexation of Dome. As a young adult, she became known as a fashion trendsetter; the dress styles she wore to balls and coronations would appear on high street racks the next day.

After marrying then-Prince Romus and giving birth to Princess Vina, she fully devoted herself to motherhood, showing little outward interest or involvement in Crown affairs. She accompanied the Royal Family on the occasional tour of GRACE member states, where she was photographed volunteering at animal shelters or visiting children affected by polio and other illnesses.

She died in a sailing accident at only 33 years of age, leaving her many admirers bereft. To this day, her grave in the National Mausoleum is decorated with fresh flowers from those still in mourning for the late Crown Princess.
