| 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)}})

| 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.
