Sofía I (born May 4, 1988, Kiara Sofía Vazquez-Killingly) is the current Queen of Alecburgh. Her accession came with the arrest of her cousin, Iris Jackson-Killingly, on August 6, 2023, and would be inaugurated nearly a month later on September 5. She has since been a cornerstone of the monarchy and has frequently reduced the size of the nation's troops in exchange for more support for education and economy.
Sofía is the first monarch of Alecburgh who's parent is not of Anglo-Adulan ancestry, but rather Latin-Adulan, something she has routinely shared and is very proud about.

Adult Life before Becoming Queen
Reign
On August 6, 2023, Sofía's cousin, Iris I, who at the time was the incumbent Queen of Alecburgh, was arrested due to connections with the disappearance and attempted murder of Queen Diana I. Iris' sister, Rhea, was also arrested due to links to the crime which forced Sofía into fourth in line to the Alecburghish throne. Diana was soon deemed not in the best state to serve as the monarch of the nation, and Prince Tyler, brother of Iris and Rhea was stripped of his place in succession due to speculation that he could have links as well.
Prince Edward, Duke of Saez, was projected to become King of Alecburgh, but quickly converted to Judaism, the religion of his wife so that he would be 'unworthy' to hold the position. In his place, Sofía was forced to become the Queen of Alecburgh, leaving her comfortable life of a stay-at-home mother and Royal Ambassador.
On September 5, she was officially coronated as the new Queen of Alecburgh, becoming the fifth monarch of the 21st century, and the first to have Latin-Adulan ancestry in history. She also became the first current monarch to not be married, which was viewed as passable due to her already having two daughters, Lourdes Sofía and Antonella Aitana.
First Acts as Queen
After being coronated, one of Sofía's first acts was to eliminate the full-executive control by Prime Minister Pacifica Champlain-Kourtney, something that the Prime Minister herself supported. After doing so, executive powers were back to being mutually shared between the Queen, the Prime Minister, and the Parliament. This was seen with almost unanimous support by politicans of all parties.
Soon after, Sofía went live across the national broadcasting channels to state her intentions to drop the military budget by 6% within the next six-months and put that percentage of the nation's wealth in education and public-transportation sectors. Prime Minister Champlain-Kourtney would sign off on the bid, and it would go to Parliament where it would win the required 3/5 majority. The government first took out 1%, ideally taking 1% out per-month. The decision to drop the budget was met with hard critisicms from several different fronts by Sofía stood her ground and elaborated the benefits of the plan as well.
