Maria Carolina, also known as Maria Carolina the Revolutionary, was a significant figure in the history of Stradia. She was the reigning monarch of Stradia from 1815 until 1834, during which time she played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's political landscape. Maria Carolina is widely regarded as one of the most important monarchs in Stradia's history, owing to her progressive views and her willingness to relinquish her own power for the greater good of the nation.

Maria Carolina is particularly known for her role in drafting and enacting Stradia's first constitution, which granted important rights and protections to the nation's citizens. This groundbreaking document was a major step forward for Stradia, which had previously been ruled by absolute monarchs with little regard for the welfare of their subjects (except for Antonia the Great). Under Maria Carolina's leadership, Stradia embarked on a path of political reform and modernization that would continue to shape the nation for generations to come.

Throughout her reign, Maria Carolina was known for her intelligence, her charisma, and her unwavering commitment to the well-being of her people. She was a beloved figure among the Stradian populace, who viewed her as a symbol of hope and progress. Her legacy continues to be felt in Stradia and beyond, as she remains a source of inspiration for those who seek to promote democracy, freedom, and justice.

Maria Carolina IV grieving over Antonia the morning she died

During the summer of 1832, Antonia became aware of her impending death. As a result, she requested that her mother join her at her country estate to spend some quality time together. During this period, Antonia sought to reconcile with those whom she had strained relationships with, strengthen her existing friendships, and deepen her bond with her mother.

On August 14, 1832, Maria Carolina awoke next to her daughter, only to discover that Antonia had passed away peacefully in her sleep. She was just 21 years old. In the aftermath of Antonia's death, a large state funeral was held, and a national period of mourning was declared. Maria Carolina was inconsolable, and her grief at the loss of her beloved daughter was felt throughout the nation.
