## Depictions in the series

### Luna the Miracle Boy

On this first story episode, Roman first appears as the main antagonist whose soul has been controlled by Princess Aulia. She sneaks into Vernadsky Family House to steal Luna's moon sphere and during a tussle with Luna, the moon sphere is thrown into the crystal mirror that acts as a portal around the Petrovburger districts. Luna then follows the moon sphere shortly after.

Luna's mother – Princess Finlandia, reveals that Roman was a Canterlot Presidential student whose studies began not long before Luna did the same job. However, when Finlandia didn't get what Roman desired as quickly as Luna wanted, she turned cruel and dishonest, Finlandia eventually abandoning Roman's studies and let her pursue own path. In the reality, Roman has been living as a student at Canterlot Presidential University. She discovers that Polina found Luna's moon sphere and turned it over to Princess Finlandia, much to Roman's annoyance.

After learning that Luna will be competing against her for the title of Miracle Ambassador, Roman employs various ways to hinder and humiliate him in the front of the country's government. She has ordered Snips and Snails to record embarrassing videos of Luna struggling to get used to the campus and releases the videos online. During the 2019 Miracle Contest Rap Battle, she and Luna duel against each other. She also doctors the photos to frame Luna as if he ruining the dance decorations and reports these photos to Principal Tony so that Luna gets punished immediately and gets disqualified from the Miracle Contest. However, Luna's friends help Luna to counter those savage ploys by improving his reputation. And last of that, Luna's father – Prince Artemis, helps prove Luna's innocence.

In the Miracle Contest, Roman is shown to be defeated (in thanks to her own fraudulence) by earning 249 electoral votes, while Luna has earned 316 out of 565 electoral votes with 270 votes to win. When Luna is named "Prince Luna" and given the Greek-style lunar helmet, Roman orders Snips and Snails to kidnap Spike and threatens to destroy the portal to Vernadia District unless if Luna gives his moon sphere to her. Luna refuses to give the moon sphere up, stating that being stuck in the presidential palace that night would be worth stopping Roman.

As the Petrovburg Heroes thank Allah in a praise for Luna in his bravery and sacrifice, Roman snaps and attacks him. Despite Luna and his friends' efforts, Roman succeeds in getting the moon sphere, smashes it to the ground. Consequently, a dark magic aura transforms her into the devil style of Princess Aulia. With her newfound powers, Roman transforms Snips and Snails into similar-looking minions and brainwashes the other presidential students. Roman reveals that she never intended to destroy the portal and plans to invade and conquer Petrovburg and Equestria with her army of teenagers, even declares Princess Aulia as the "must-loved dictator".

Hearing several provoking states, Luna shows his anger to Roman, and then he evokes the powers of the Elements of Harmony when his friends move to protect him from Roman's attack. Temporarily given pony-like characteristics, they use the eternal magic of friendship to defeat Roman and return Snips, Snails, and the rest of the presidential civilians to normal.

As everyone recovers, a beaten Roman is reduced to tears and repent herself and apologizes to everyone she's hurt. She admits to not knowing anything about friendship, to which Celestia states that Luna and his friends can teach her. Before getting permanent-fired from the presidential campus, she (along with Snips and Snails) has tasked by Principal Tony by rebuilding the part of the campus they have destroyed during their attack.

## Special story depictions

### LMB Novelization Scenes

Roman is featured as the main antagonist in the original scene about Luna the Miracle Boy by its screenplay novelization scene Luna the Miracle Boy: Through the Mirror – where Luna had noticed Roman going around the presidential auditorium, apologizing to several students. Luckily, most of them had no idea what she was talking about because they'd been in a trance during her little fiery tantrum. But it still showed that she wanted to change.

### LMB fictitious stories

In the Petrovburg Reformation Tales story, "The Fall of Princess Roman" chapter details Roman's last days as Princess Finlandia's student.

Similar to Luna, Roman is a magical prodigy. However, unlike him, she's pretty boastful and condescending toward others, despite Finlandia's lessons about humility. Finlandia shows Roman the Crystal Mirror; in it, Roman sees herself as Aulia's henchman who could rule Petrovburg. Roman briefly sees something else in the mirror, and Finlandia guides her away from it before she gets too curious. During the following weeks, the mirror is all Roman can think about, and Finlandia repeatedly tells her that she'll learn about the mirror and other lessons "when she's ready".

Not convinced, an undeterred Roman begins researching the mirror in the presidential library behind Finlandia, but is soon caught by Finlandia and the presidential guards. Roman berates her for hiding such magic from her and demands to be made a national princess for Petrovburg. Finlandia refuses, saying that being a republic's princess must be earned, and removes Roman from her position as her student and fires her from Canterlot Presidentials. She has the presidential guards escort Roman out of the campus, but Roman overpowers the presidential guards and escapes through the mirror. As Finlandia has the mirror moved to the Vernadsky Family House, Roman emerges in the same world and the same appearance.

In the "Rise of the Petrovburg Heroes" chapter, Roman interviews Celestia, Vincent, Tobias, Jason, and Dennis for a story for the campus paper, but her expression at the end of the story suggests a far more sinister motive.

### Canterlot Presidential Tales

Roman is also featured as the main protagonist in the Roman's Time to Shine. Wanting to find her place in the republic without magic, she decides to become a "magic investigator" and study the pony transformations of Luna and his Petrovburg Heroes in great scientific detail. She also helps Luna and the Petrovburg Heroes organize a palace fundraiser to raise money for new CPU Wondercolt uniforms.

## General descriptions

### LMB Original Scene

Under the fiendish ambition of Princess Aulia, Roman rules Canterlot Presidentials with an iron hoof, uhh... it means hands of hers. There’s no one in the university more feared, manipulative, and dishonest than her. And she doesn’t care who she has to intimidate, frighten, or push around to keep it that way. But this year of 2019, there's a new challenger – Luna! Of course, he is the miracle boy that might be the hero who finally dethrones her.

### LMB Friendship Games

Roman is a former bully that turned nice by the end of the story episode. Now she’s ready to mend her friendships with Luna and his friends, despite feeling out of place sometimes. Will she ever feel like part of the group? Check it out!

## Personality

When she was one of Aulia's evil henchmen, Roman is shown to be self-absorbed, condescending, manipulative, and dishonest. She frequently insults and belittles others and thinks little of it. According to the information by Polina, Roman makes life miserable against anyone who dares to stand in her way. As a result, most of the presidential students are very afraid of her. Roman is also making threats and blackmail in order to realize her goals.

Roman has something of a temper on herself. In her debut appearance, she lashes out at Luna after his friends of the Petrovburg Heroes thank Allah in praise for him. While it becomes less pronounced after her reformation, it still flares up during stressful situations. When transformed into Nightmare Moon, Roman becomes selfish and malicious, consumed with a desire to learn everything about magic even at the cost of the Petrovburger national government.

When smashes the element of miracle, Roman transforms herself into the devil style of Princess Aulia. While in this form, she becomes more ruthless, going so far as attempting to dispose of Luna. After she is defeated and Aulia's evil divine get banished, Roman becomes immediately repentant and apologizes for her actions, appearing to renounce her prior dishonest and unkind ways. Unfortunately, her apology has been rejected as Principal Tony punishes her by repairing the campus as he fires her without dignity from the lecture days at the presidential university.

Since that, Roman harbors a fear of losing her newly gained campus' trust, and she becomes deeply depressed when she believes she has let them down despite their assurances, and decides to join Seborga High School instead. She also becomes increasingly irritated and stressed by her struggles to understand how magic works in the republic, briefly snapping at the Petrovburg Heroes at one point.

In the Friendship Games, when Roman was about to endanger Luna and the Petrovburg Heroes with her device, but she inadvertently endangers her Seborga High schoolmates, Roman's anger explodes as she berates Luna for meddling with forces that she doesn't understand, taking her own frustrations and self-doubt out on him. However, she immediately regrets her harsh words and reaches out to Luna in friendship by the end of the story.

In the LMB Canterlot Presidential Tales: Roman's Time to Shine, Roman displays a considerable level of intelligence, being ahead of Luna and his fellows of the Petrovburg Heroes in the presidential palace and smart enough to develop various computer applications. Her affinity for science and research is also seen in Chetverg Hydro Science segment, where she explains she prefers a hands-on approach to studying magic over "studying ancient books".
