Don't get me wrong, I love canon Romania he's my favourite character ever but like. I love the idea of nyo Romania very much and tbf she should have been canon Ro.
And like. I think there are a lot of cool historical personalities that are girls in Romania's history too, for example Ecaterina Teodoroiu, princess Ileana, Smaranda Braescu, Marina Stirbey, Virginia Andreescu Haret, Ella Negruzzi, of course I cannot forget Nadia Comăneci, and the list can go on. Also technically she was not romanian but she was the queen of Romania, queen Marie of Romania (I wanna make a post about her but like. Read her wikipedia page its pretty interesting. She was even popular in other countries like America, even did a sort of tour/visit to America at one point! And like met the president of America at the time, Calvin Coolidge abd his wife Grace).
And also, her being a girl while a lot of characters that surround her are guys could kinda represent how she was often...different in a way, her being the only romance country in eastern europe*. Idk i'm just throwing ideas around
And like. Idk I think she'd be really pretty and I like girls okay. Also I think she'd have a cool personality idk I just think she'd be great.
*there are other eastern romance people, yes, such as the aromanians and megleno-romanians and others I think, but, sadly, they are in way smaller numbers than the romanians and do not have their own countries.

Which prospect do you think Has a higher chance with alexei ? Princess Ileana of Romania or Princess Elizabeth of Greece and Denmark?
Hi! Thanks for the question and I'm so sorry for the very late reply!
This is a difficult one to answer as it's all guesswork.
In terms of wider family relations, it appears that no one really liked Carol (I don't blame them!!) when they visited in 1913, and Queen Marie of Romania wasn't particularly enthusiastic about Alix in her memoirs. She also explicitly said that she did NOT want to have someone with haemophilia in her family due to the suffering it brings. She mentioned being concerned about Carol marrying one of OTMA because of the possibility they could be a carrier of the haemophilia gene. I don’t know if she knew that Alexei had haemophilia when she knew the Romanov family, but I think she might have avoided the match if she was aware. Although any of Alexei's children wouldn't have had haemophilia (only passes through the female line), the chance of him passing from a fatal attack at any moment certainly wouldn't be ideal for a marriage match.
Elizabeth and Alexei were very close in age, and there are some very sweet anecdotes about them meeting when they were children. Elizabeth's mother was Russian, which might have made the match more favourable. Also, they seemed to know each other far better than Alexei did Ileana, as Elizabeth and her family visited Russia pretty much yearly. Because of Marie of Romania's fears about haemophilia, and her dislike (and pitying) of Alix, I think that the match with Elizabeth would have been more favourable.
Which also brings up the fact that many boys that suffered from haemophilia sadly didn't live long into adulthood. Alix's brother Frittie passed away after an accident where he fell out of a window, and Henry of Prussia (Alix's nephew) passed away after falling off a chair. Tragically, most children died before they reached their teenage years. Some people with haemophilia lived considerably longer, though. Prince Waldemar of Prussia (a cousin) lived to age 59, until he passed away due to a lack of medical supplies for a blood transfusion. Alfonso of Spain died when he was 31 after a minor car crash caused internal bleeding, and his brother Gonzalo also passed away after a minor car accident, aged only 19. Most famously, Prince Leopold, son of Queen Victoria, died from a fall that resulted in cerebral haemorrhage.
We will never know for certain, I'm afraid, but those are my thoughts! What does anyone else think?

Who do you think would have had the highest chance of suitor for OTMAA? (Pre-revolution and war) as well as (after revo if they survived).
Olga nikolaevna= Princes Vladimir Paley or Grand duke dmitri pavlovich romanov (there are some who thinks paley might have been).
Tatiana Nikolaevna= Prince Alexander of Yugoslvia or Prince Roman petrovich(idk about roman petrovich but from what I read he was mostly mentioned)
Maria= Prince Carol of Romania or Prince Louis Mountbatten( carol said he liked her at some point)
Anastasia= Princes Frederick of Denmark or Prince Paul of Greece and Denmark(Tbh, I feel like she would chose herself heheh)
Alexei= Princess Ileana of Romania or Princess Elizabeth of Greece and Denmark.

To Olga: From your options I choose Vladimir Paley, but I like to imagine her with prince Christopher of Greece and Denmark. He loved her and even talked to Nicholas about it.
To Tatiana: Alexander I of Yugoslavia, he loved her and some sources say it was mutual.
To Maria: Louis Mountbatten, of course, he adored her! Carol of Romania was a horrible husband to Helen, he would have made Maria suffer as he did to Helen.
To Anastasia: We don't know about her preferences but I vote in Paul of Greece and Denmark.
To Alexei: Princess Ileana.
