Louisa Treniotis's signature

Louisa Treniotis (born Louisa Johanna Georgiana Theresa Elisabeth; 30 November 1914 – 5 July 2006) was the second female and final ruler of the Sunrosian Monarchy and and all of its constituent states for fifteeen days as Louisa. She formally abdicated in January 1932 and took the name of Louisa Treniotis, by which she would become known for her disability rights activism and her work on sign languages, particularly on the Swetanian general sign language. Louisa became internationally known as "the Fortnight Queen" following the publication of her eponymous first autobiography in 1948.

Born with congenital muteness that left her unable to speak for her entire life, Louisa was the only child of Adalbert XX and Sylviane of Gaullica. She was merely seven when she succeeded her father following his death on 25 December 1921, as his designated heir Prince Waldemar whearabouts' were unknown. Ascending to the throne in the midst of the Swetanian Revolution at a time by which most cities have already been lost to revolutionary forces, Louisa reigned only nominally as Empress for fifteen days before the proclamation of the Panswetanian Council Republic brought an end to the monarchy. She fled the country with her mother and entourage, first to neighbouring Werania and then to Caldia.
