Katharina XII (Adelheid Brunhilda Cunegunde Ermengard Katharina Winifred; born 20 April 1984) is 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 Arcane Throne on 30 January 2016, following the death of her late husband Charles IV, and was self-crowned the following year on 19 August.

Born to the distinguished Beintrussel family in Mogrok, Vitebellia-Stadt, the future Katharina XII is the second of seven daughters of the Marquis de Beintrussel and Lady Johanna Khâz'gorôkh, and was known to her family and close friends as "Katie". She grew up in a village seminary not further from her hometown before she and her sisters moved to Novigard and was educated at Khâr'shúbskaï Boarding School. After attending Ûdmir and Ghôl'gosh Colleges, she went on to work as an assistant teacher for three years in the Rhâg'grosh Quarter until she was summoned by her parents to Mordegard to fulfill her obligations as a lady-in-waiting to the Empress-Dowager Liselotte. In the summer of 2005, she married the Crown Prince Imperial, Charles Eberhard, who then became Emperor Charles IV at the death of his father Frederick VIII; they have three children: Conrad Frederick Louis, Reinhard Walter, and Adelheid. Their marriage lasted for eight years until his death in 2016, due to serious health complications. As Empress consort, Katharina undertakes official duties on behalf of her late husband. She founded the Empress' Trust in 2011 and is a patron, president or member of seldom more than several hundred philanthropic and academic organizations. An avid enjoyer of symphonic, easy listening and light music, she is a friend of and patron to composers Max Pebblesocke and Ezzio Tano and holds the position of Principal Conductor of the Imperial Angvarian Symphony Ensemble to this day.

When her husband died, Katharina ensured that their eldest child and heir apparent was not expected to inherit the throne at a 'fragile' (i.e., untrained) age, so, on 30 January 2016, she took it upon herself to succeed him as sovereign. She addressed the Curia Imperialis at Saint Rowena's Palace on the evening of the same day, formally proclaiming herself Empress in her own right. Two days later, the 2016 Instrument of Government took effect with the exclusive consent of the Crown, thereby intensifying her absolute power and expanding her prerogatives. A year after her self-coronation, she presided over the show trial of 68 syndicalist and pro-republican insurgents, including Social Republican and pro-democracy activist Günther Hans Thalmann, revealed to be the assassin of her late grandfather-in-law. Their execution on 1 May 2017 was met with nationwide massive protests and global condemnation

As sovereign, she holds 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 Head and Pontiff of the worldwide Angvarian Ecumenical Catheric Church.
