User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-43908-20150311013943/@comment-28349479-20181106183341 To address your second and third questions: The phrase "Romana Trey" has never been used. When Romana II and Romana III were working together in Renaissance, rather than in both of them being called "Romana", which would be confusing, Romana III volunteered to go by the next syllable of their name, "Tre". This led to her being named in the cast as "Lady Trey". Only in the next story, Ascension, is it revealed that Trey is a Matrix projection.

All this has nothing to do with the events of Fractures, which Ringo was investigating as part of a separate question, that of whether we have a solid in-universe foundation for calling the pages "Romana I" etc. Sadly, the moment Ringo was thinking of actually concerns Romana counting copies of herself created by the Sentience of the Anomaly Vault.

For what it's worth, I really hope we don't come to the point of merging Romana I, Romana II, and the rest into Romana; I'm wholeheartedly against the move. With Time Lord characters as important as Romana or the Doctor, mergers like those unnecessarily obfuscate useful information. Just look at the mess that is The Master! It's so big that it takes forever to load or edit; the "Personality" and "Appearance" sections are horrifically convoluted; and there's heaps of redundant information for every multi-Master story – for instance, the same nearly-identical paragraph about The Battle of the Bands Beyond the Stars is repeated five times on the same page. I would absolutely hate for that to happen with our Romana pages just because there isn't a sufficiently convincing case for calling Romana I "Romana I". (And besides, do we even have an in-universe source for the title "Thirteenth Doctor" yet? I'd love to hear the case that all the incarnations should be merged into The Doctor!)
