| By all accounts, '''[[Romanadvoratrelundar]]’s third incarnation''' was the one who followed [[Romana II]]’s [[regeneration]].
| | Purged. |

| Where accounts differ, however, are the particulars surrounding this regeneration. By most accounts, the third Romana served as [[President of the High Council]] during an all-encompassing [[time war]] between [[Gallifrey]] and another major temporal power. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Shadows of Avalon (novel)}}; [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Luna Romana (audio story)}}) Other accounts, however, suggest that Romana had eschewed the Presidency during this incarnation and served the [[universe]] in other ways. ([[STAGE]]: {{cs|Time Fracture (stage play)}}; [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Little Book of Fate (short story)}})

| According to one account, Romana II regenerated into a snub-nosed woman with dark hair styled into a fringe and green eyes who apparently resembled [[the Doctor's mother]] at some point during the first decades of her [[Lord President|Presidency]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Shadows of Avalon (novel)}})
| |
| | |
| By this account, Romana would lead [[Gallifrey]] as it approached an all-encompassing [[time war|temporal conflict]] with [[the Enemy]] known as [[War in Heaven|the War in Heaven]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ancestor Cell (novel)}}, et al.) However, after [[Faction Paradox]] invaded Gallifrey, the War was averted and Gallifrey was destroyed. This resulted in [[Post-War universe|a new form of reality]] where history was “fundamentally altered” and both Gallifrey and the [[Time Lords]] were wiped from the timeline. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ancestor Cell (novel)}}, {{cs|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)}})

| She would go by title such as '''the War Queen''' and '''Mistress of the Nine Gallifreys'''.

| According to another account, however, Romana II regenerated into a woman with long dark hair styled into a fringe and blue eyes. This regeneration came about as a means of preventing the host ship [[Moros]] from becoming a [[black hole]] and destroying Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}})
| |
| | |
| By this account, Romana would lead [[Gallifrey]] through its “darkest hour” ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Luna Romana (audio story)}} as it engaged in a large-scale [[time war|temporal conflict]] with [[Omega]] and [[Adherents of Ohm|his adherents]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}}) This [[Time War (Enemy Lines)|Time War]] would escalate to the point wherein Romana, [[Narvin]], and [[Ace]] were found guilty of high treason. However, after Romana sent her friend [[Irving Braxiatel]] back in time to avert her regeneration, the War was [[aborted timeline|averted]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Enemy Lines (audio story)}})

| When a projection of this incarnation appeared through [[the Matrix]] to aid her predecessor, she went by the title of '''Trey'''. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Renaissance (audio story)}}, {{cs|Ascension (audio story)}})

| == The Fortune Teller ==
| |
| {{main|Romana (The Little Book of Fate)}}
| |
| This incarnation worked with [[Laszlo]] and other [[Tharil|Tharil]]s to rescue refugees from a "forever war spreading through all of time and space." This temporal refugee camp was disguised as a traveling carnival, in which she posed as a '''fortune teller'''. She was similar to the Romana III who led Gallifrey through its darkest hour by the fact they both wore a [[black]] [[beret]].

| |
| Within a [[temporal anomaly]] known as the [[Time Fracture]], time began to repeat over itself. At some point during this [[time loop]], [[Romana II]] regenerated into a [[non-binary]] incarnation with short, blonde hair and blue eyes. No longer holding the Presidency, they instead held the title of Lord Cardinal. While UNIT had speculated that they would make for a powerful ally should they survive Gallifrey's destruction, a flood of [[artron energy]] closed the Time Fracture and prevented it from ever having opened.{{source}}

| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| * Writers involved in the [[War in Heaven]] arc of [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novels based Romana III's described appearance on that of the [[American]] silent film actress [[Louise Brooks]].
| |
| | |
| * [[James Goss]] contrasted [[Juliet Landau]]'s version of the third incarnation from "other future Romanadvoratrelundars" like the "brilliantly glacial flapper" who had appeared in the [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]]. ([[VOR 56]]) Despite this, Landau bares a striking resemblance to her prose counterpart.
