{{strong|Katharina XII}} (Adelheid Brunhilde Clotilde Cunegunde Ermengarde Gisela Katharina Margaret Winifred; born 20 April 1984) is [[Monarchy of Angvar|Empress of Angvar]]. She is the first monarch from a non-ruling noble family rather from the Angvarian imperial family, having acceded to the [[Great Arcane Throne of Angvar|Great Arcane Throne]] upon the death of her late husband, [[Charles IV of Angvar|Charles IV]] on 30 January 2016 and crowned herself on 19 August the following year.


'''Katharina XII''' (Adelheid Brunhilda Cunegunde Ermengard Katharina Winifred; born 20 April 1984) is [[Monarchy of Angvar|Empress regnant of Angvar]]. The first to rule as a member of a non-ruling noble house with immediate connections to the Angvarian imperial family, she acceded to the [[Great Arcane Throne of Angvar|Arcane Throne]] on 30 January 2016, following the death of her late husband [[Charles IV of Angvar|Charles IV]], and was self-crowned the following year on 19 August.
Born to the distinguished Beintrussel family in Gol'kôg, Vitebellia Governorate, the future Katharina XII is the third of seven daughters of Ernst Heribert, Marquis of Beintrussel and Lady Johanna Khâz'gorôkh, and was known as "Katy" to her family and close friends. The siblings moved to Novigard where she was educated at Khâr'shúbskaï Boarding School and attended Ravensbruck, Ghôlronk and Ûdmir Colleges. While working as an assistant librarian for three years in the Rhâgrosh Quarter of the city, she was summoned to Mordegard as one of the ladies-in-waiting to the [[Liselotte of Ostenia, Dowager Empress of Angvar|Dowager Empress Liselotte]]. It was there when, in the summer of 2005, she met the Crown Prince Imperial, Charles Eberhard, who then became Charles IV at the death of his father, [[Frederick VII of Angvar|Frederick VII]]; their marriage lasted eight years until his unexpected death in 2016 from serious complications of bronchitis. They had three children, namely: [[Conrad Frederick, Crown Prince Imperial of Angvar|Conrad Frederick]], the heir apparent; [[Prince Filibert Helmut of Angvar|Filibert Helmut]], and [[Princess Adelheid of Angvar|Adelheid]]. When her husband died, she ensured that their eldest child was not expected to inherit the throne at a 'fragile' age in spite of being the heir apparent.


A member of the House of Beintrussel, the future Katharina XII was born in Mogrok, Gau Vitebellia, to the Marquis de Beintrussel and Lady Johanna Khâz'gorôkh as the eldest of their seven daughters. She grew up near a priory in Ôbkhor and was educated at Khâr'shúbskaï Boarding School, attending Ûdmir and Ghôl'gosh Colleges. Working as an assistant clerk in the Rhagosh Quarter of Mordegard for two years, she was called by her parents to fulfill her duties as one of the ladies-in-waiting to the [[Lieselotte of Ostenia, Dowager Empress of Angvar|Empress-Mother Liselotte]]. In July 2005, she married then-Emperor Charles IV and had three children: [[Conrad Frederick Louis, Crown Prince Imperial of Angvar|Conrad Frederick Louis]], [[Prince Reinhard Walther, Duke of D'hôrghâr|Reinhard Walther]], and [[Princess Adelheid, Duchess of Porghaï|Adelheid]]; their marriage lasted for eight years until his death in 2016, after he contracted pneumonia. As Empress consort, Katharina undertakes official duties on behalf of the late Emperor, and was directly appointed to be his successor according to his wishes. She held the position of Principal Conductor of the Imperial Angvarian Philharmonic Orchestra and the Emperor Albert IV Ensemble up to this day and is a patron, president or member of over several hundred philanthropic and academic organizations. As sovereign, she holds {{wpl|commander-in-chief|ultimate commanding authority}} over the Angvarian military as Supreme Commander-in-Chief, plays the role of the absolute representation of Angvar in global relations, and is the [[Sovereign and Supreme Pontiff of the Angvarian Ecumenical Catheric Church|Sovereign and Supreme Pontiff]] of the worldwide [[Angvarian Ecumenical Catheric Church]].

On 30 January 2016, at thirty-two years old, she proclaimed herself Empress in a joint meeting of the Curia Imperialis.

Katharina XII (Adelheid Brunhilde Clotilde Cunegunde Ermengarde Gisela Katharina Margaret Winifred; born 20 April 1984) is Empress of Angvar. She is the first monarch from a non-ruling noble family rather from the Angvarian imperial family, having acceded to the Great Arcane Throne upon the death of her late husband, Charles IV on 30 January 2016 and crowned herself on 19 August the following year.

Born to the distinguished Beintrussel family in Gol'kôg, Vitebellia Governorate, the future Katharina XII is the third of seven daughters of Ernst Heribert, Marquis of Beintrussel and Lady Johanna Khâz'gorôkh, and was known as "Katy" to her family and close friends. The siblings moved to Novigard where she was educated at Khâr'shúbskaï Boarding School and attended Ravensbruck, Ghôlronk and Ûdmir Colleges. While working as an assistant librarian for three years in the Rhâgrosh Quarter of the city, she was summoned to Mordegard as one of the ladies-in-waiting to the Dowager Empress Liselotte. It was there when, in the summer of 2005, she met the Crown Prince Imperial, Charles Eberhard, who then became Charles IV at the death of his father, Frederick VII; their marriage lasted eight years until his unexpected death in 2016 from serious complications of bronchitis. They had three children, namely: Conrad Frederick, the heir apparent; Filibert Helmut, and Adelheid. When her husband died, she ensured that their eldest child was not expected to inherit the throne at a 'fragile' age in spite of being the heir apparent.

As Empress consort, she undertakes official duties on behalf of her husband. She is a patron, president or member of several hundred academic organizations. An avid enjoyer of symphonic, easy listening and light music, she is a friend of and patron to composers Helmut Pebblefrow and Ezzio Rossi and holds the position of Principal Conductor of the Imperial Angvarian Symphony Ensemble to this day. As monarch, she holds the ultimate commanding authority over the Imperial Armed Forces as Supreme Commander-in-Chief, plays the role of supreme representation of the Empire in global relations, and is the Sovereign and Supreme Head and Pontiff over the Angvarian Ecumenical Catheric Church.

On 31 January 2016, Katharina proclaimed herself Empress at St. Morgana's Basilica. Two years since her coronation, she initiated an anti-subversion campaign, causing the dismissal and consecutive liquidation of a large number of government officials suspected of dissent and treason. She presided over the show trial of Hildebrand Thalmann, the son of Social Republican leader Helmut Thalmann, who was convicted of the assassination of Albert IV, and whose execution on 1 May 2018 along with seventy-two conspirators was met with growing violent opposition to the monarchy. The military crackdown on the 2018 Lagrath Square protests, the summary execution of leading pro-democracy activists, the construction of additional prison camps across Transudelia and the ennoblement of convicted war criminal Klaus Archambaud as marquis and controversial Infernian-born writer and esotericist Libitina Bartley-Wolff as countess earned her condemnation from the global community. During the tenure of the Duke of Doth as Lord High Chancellor of Angvar and First Lord of the Privy Council, she gave assent to the elimination of political privileges of the Church seen as pretext for subversion while investing Pope Theodacus V Decius and appointing him to the Privy Council, for which she was heavily criticized by advocates of religious liberty as borderline intensifying caesaropapism. She re-asserted control over Curvania in quelling the June Mutiny, ordered a military intervention in the Ostenian Realm against syndicalist and integralist rebel groups, and issued an edict prohibiting the Maulland Sea Trade Union Group from gathering due to the 2021 Vladivoyna Shipyard Incident.

Katharina ruled as a totalitarian monarch with unrestrainable absolute power, maintaining the same cult of personality her leadership followed as her husband and previous Angvarian sovereigns.
