Sophia Victoria, Princess of Lavaria (Sophia Victoria Elisa Alfonsa Feodora; 1 July 1905 – 15 December 2001) was the sixth Queen of Mascylla and queen consort by marriage between Mascylla and Lavaria to King Maximilian I of Mascylla. She was the daughter of X, having been born in X on 1 July 1905 in Cornicae.
Due to the wanted consolidation of relations between Mascylla and Cornicae after the joint victory in the Continental War and the subsequent foundation of the Dreibund, a betrothal between two members of the monarchies appeared highly likely and was especially sought after by King Ludwig I, who hoped to unify both monarchies in order to tighten Mascyllary importance. Thus, Sophia was betrothed to Crown Prince Joseph in 1909; he was killed however while fighting in the Continental War. The subsequent Mascyllary Revolution and decimation of Mascylla's royal family prohibited another marriage for years, until Maximilian I of Mascylla emerged as the sole surviving member of the dynasty and the new King when a betrothal was finally consent. She married Maximilian I on 22 March 1935, aged 29.
As queen consort from 1935, she supported her husband through his reforms of the newly-formed Crowned Republic and major political changes arising in its aftermath. She herself proposed numerous things noteworthy of reformation and actively advocated for Maximilian I's approach to diplomacy and joint Erdaran policies. Relatives and servants described their relationship as one of sincere love and thus has popularized them as a couple and entered pop culture through various movies, songs and literature. During her young adulthood, she resembled a nation-wide role model and was famed for her fashion, humour and unconventional approach to royal duties, charisma, and friendliness, having gained immense popularity among women and the youth.
She died on 15 December 2001, the same year as her husband had died, with extensive mourning by the public and media attention. Her reign made her an international icon and earned her an enduring long-lasting popularity. Her legacy has had a significant impact on the royal family and Mascyllary society.
