* As is apparent from the above, various writers from across different mediums have attempted to introduce the third incarnation of Romana. While some writers have attempted to distinguish these often contradictory depictions, others have further conflated them. | |||
* [[James Goss]] | ** The first depiction of Romana III, as seen in [[Paul Cornell]]’s {{cs|The Shadows of Avalon (novel)}} was based on that of [[American]] silent film actress [[Louise Brooks]]. | ||
** [[James Goss]], who penned [[Juliet Landau]]’s first story portraying “Trey” for [[Big Finish Productions|Big Finish]] initially contrasted her with “other future Romanadvoratrelundars” such as the “brilliantly glacial flapper”, Romana III, despite the physical resemblance Landau had to the original depiction of the character. ([[VOR 56]]) | |||
** Later on, however, [[Steve Gallagher]] would introduce his own depiction of Romana III, who serves on the outskirts of what is implicitly the [[Last Great Time War]] in {{cs|The Little Book of Fate (short story)}}. While a short story with no illustrations, the description of this incarnation specifically portrays her as wearing a combination of two outfits worn by Landau during the photoshoot for her portrayal of the character: a scarf knotted at her throat, a waistcoat, and a black beret. When asked about the similarity on Twitter, Gallagher responded that it “[w]ould work rather well, wouldn’t it?”"<ref>[https://twitter.com/brooligan/status/1687940932094603265?s=20 Steve Gallagher on Twitter]</ref> | |||
