Theodora Eliz Yeterian (born 22 August 1995) is a Ruvelkan singer and songwriter who came to prominence in 2014 after signing with Redwave. She later released her debut album Theodora in 2017 to critical and commercial acclaim. Theodora would later be certified platinum in several countries in Tyran and its success won her several accolades as a rising star in Ruvelkan pop culture and as a breakthrough artist.

Her second album, Lost Souls, Broken Hearts, which was inspired by her experiences as a young teenager during the Zemplen War as well as the anecdotes of Ruvelkan veterans—including her own parents who both served in the conflict—was also received with critical acclaim. The album helped Theodora win Ruvelkan Female Solo Artist and Best Ruvelkan Album of the Year at the 2021 National Arts Awards as well as Best Foreign Album at the 2021 Cacertian Pop Culture Symposium.

In 2022, she made a runway debut at the Fumicino Fashion Week representing Marano, a fashion house she had previously modeled for in 2012.
