Early Life

Leona was born on 31 October 1992 at Heraion, in Leonople, Perateia. She was the second legitimate child of her father then Jacobus, Prince of Youth, and the first from her father’s marriage to Latin noblewoman Zoe Verrucosa. Leona was baptized into the Fabrian Church on 25 December 1992, at Sancta Sapientia, in Castellum, by Patriarch Flavius Hostillius of Alba. At her christening, her godparents were Florian Claudius (her parents’ mutual cousin), Alexandra Tarpeia (her father’s cousin); Adriana of Keld (a friend of her mother) and TBD.

Then the daughter of the heir apparent, Leona was styled as ''Princess of Youth'' from her birth until her father's ascension to the throne in 1997. She was named Leona after her grandfather Leo X Claudius, Zoe after her mother, and Diana after her grandmother Diana Augusta.

Education

Leona began her education in Leonople, first enrolling at Antony Studites for her primary education in 1996, while her father served as Count of the East. However, she completed her primary education at Lyceum Sanctus Michaelis, in Castellum. Leona continued her education at Sanctus Michaelis through middle education and until her second year of secondary education. From 2009 until 2011, Leona was educated at Lyceum Photii, in Leonople. Leona returned to Sanctus Michaelis in 2011, and earned her bac in 2012.

Leona visited numerous universities during her final year of secondary school, including prominent universities in Latium, such as University of Castellum Iohannes XIII, Arminium College, University of Haenna and University of Utica. She also visited foreign universities such as the University of Ghish, Imperial University of Lyncanestria, and Sainte-Colette School of Economics and Political Sciences. In fall 2012, Leona enrolled at Viguera College, Haenna. Her enrollment resulted in the fall semester saw a sharp increase in spring semester applications, which rose 15% percent. During her first term, Leona did not reside in student housing, despite university policy requiring first year students to do so. Instead, she resided in a townhouse on the edge of campus with a group of friends, including Constantia of Keld, Sophia of Ossonoba, and her cousin Maria of Ravenna.

She entered the War Studies and International Relations program at Vigueria, and participated in few extracurricular activities during her first term, most notably ski club, and frequently visited nearby Olympia Military Academy. On 9 August 2013, the Latin Imperial Household announced Leona’s engagement, upon which she dropped out of Viguera College.

Leona later resumed her university studies in spring 2018, this time at Castellum College, Castellum. As at Viguera, Leona studied international relations at Castellum, and also pursued a minor focus in art. Leona graduated from Castellum in 2020.

Relationships

Leona had few courtships after making her debut in 2009. Her most notable courtship before marriage came in 2012 when Leona was courting Frederick, Crown Prince of Sudmark. The courtship was widely reported as difficult due to Leona’s ongoing education at Viguera College, and Leona’s difficulty fitting in at court in Ghish. In September 2012, Leona and Frederick’s courtship abruptly ended after what was originally planned to be a month-long visit to Sudmark.

Prior to and after her courtship with Nathan, Leona was in a public relationship with Conrad of Rahdenburg; however, there was no announcement from the Imperial household to confirm a courtship.
