Lorena Julia Cascadia, (13th of Owyn’s Flame, 1714 - Present) born “Laurentina Julia," was the only daughter to Prince Romulus Horen, Duke of Cascadia and his wife, Anabel Devereux. Sister of two reigning emperors of Holy Oren, Lorena was styled as Princess Imperial following her eldest brother’s ascension to emperor. She was stripped of her various entitlements at the age of 11 as a result of her twin brother’s abdication.
Biography
Early Years
Born as “Laurentina Julia” to Imperial Prince Romulus, Duke of Cascadia, and his wife, the then Queen of Curonia, Anabel Devereux, Laurentina’s birth came about just before the start of the turbulent War of the Two Emperors, forcing her to be trapped in the imperial city for fear of her capture, despite the girl’s grievances. She took up studying at the age of 6, especially taking interest in culture and language. Both were taught to her by a mix of her mother’s, her sister in law’s, and the princess of Alstion’s teachings.
She spent most of her time alongside these three ladies, with the exception of her time spent with twin brother Achilius. On the 11th of Owyn's Flame, 1720, she along with her brother, were baptized by Frederick Guillen, the Bishop of Pembroke.
Laurentina later witnessed her eldest brother’s abdication unto Achilius, whose name was then changed to John, as Holy Orenian Emperor during the year 1723.

When the war’s wrath had finally faded, Laurentina had only turned 10, and was finally freed from the clutches of imperial life. Her mother, the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Holy Orenian Empire, assigned to her a task: the princess would tour the courts of Humanity, recording the exploits of each human nation’s citizens on behalf of the empire. Laurentina, feeling suffocated in the imperial city, readily agreed.
Her first (and last) travel was in the year 1724, and was to the Duchy of Westmarch, where she would remain for a saint’s week.
From Westmarch, she was informed of her twin brother’s decision to abdicate his imperial throne in favour of an elective succession, additionally disowning himself from the House of Cascadia. Laurentina was suddenly the only person capable of becoming matriarch of the house at the tender age of 11, meaning she was forced to abandon her travels in turn for the curation of her surname’s prestige. The pre-teen girl was advised by the Duke of Westmarch away from any brash movements, causing her to wallow irremediably in the sorrow that surrounded her.
She witnessed the sudden death of the ladies of her youth, the empress Adeline and princess Vivienne, as well as that of her father. Within a single month, the princess had lost most everything dear to her. Her childhood was undeniably in a state of despair, and was never to be recuperated. From then on, Laurentina would adopt a dulled, cold-blooded demeanor, which would later brand her the nickname "the Dragonheart."
Upon her return to the city of Helena, Laurentina was christened with the name “Lorena Julia” in order to assume the new Johannian regality, and was to remain in the Imperial Palace, stripped of all her titlings and royalty. She was destined to life as a simple noblewoman of the court.
