User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-43908-20150311013943/@comment-6032121-20181106192417 Thanks for clearing it up, Nate.

Alright then, this new information does cause me to reiterate my question: how can it be that Romana's Matrix-ghost (that is to say, "Trey") is a copy of Romana III, even though Ringo's quote shows that Romana lived well beyond her third incarnation? Without the extremely speculative notion that Romana's Matrix-ghost would have willingly reverted herself to the appearance and personality of her third incarnation (a la The Curator), this must mean that Trey was copied from Romana well before her death — meaning there are two simultaneous Romanas from her inception forth, one who lives in the Matrix and one who remains to run around and regenerate into Romana IV. And so a separate page would, in my view, be needed just like the “Shadow World” pages.

Also, random question: when you lot read "Romana I" or "Romana II", would you render it in English as "Romana the First" and "Romana the Second", or as "Romana One" and "Romana Two"? The first would be the obvious version (since Roman numbers after a first name are usually read so), but I'm getting the feeling that this is not the case for everyone…
