Queen '''Leila''' I (born 2nd February 2012) is the fourth child and second daughter of King [[Shapur XIV]] of [[Zargothrax]]. She is one of three living claimants to the throne of Zargothrax, alongside her father and grandfather [[Navid III]]. All three claimants presently control some territory in the ongoing [[Thraxian Civil War]].

Prior to the civil war, she was sent as a diplomatic envoy to [[Salad Land]] during the [[Thraxian-Saladian War]] at age 11, and volunteered to work for the [[Salad Land Lizard Capture Service]]. After returning to Zargothrax, she disappeared for around 20 months before reappearing to make her claim to the throne. She is allergic to cats.

==Birth and education==
Leila was born in 2012 to then-Prince Shapur and Princess Yasmina. She was raised in the Royal Nursery in [[Castle Zargo]], being educated alongside her elder sister [[Princess Mina]] by private tutors. The education of the princesses omitted many scientific subjects; with "traditionally feminine" aspects being emphasised instead. Leila has been a vocal critic of the lack of educational opportunities for girls in Zargothrax since the age of 11. She repeatedly publicly asked to be sent to boarding school.

==Cat dispute==
In June 2023, Leila's father King Shapur adopted twelve cats, claiming he had been instructed to by a "vision from God". Leila publicly objected to this in view of the media, due to her cat allergy<ref>https://media.idugov.com/2023/06/19/king-shapur-released-from-hospital-immediately-adopts-12-cats/</ref>. After her father began making it a law that each household has to own at least one cat<ref>https://media.idugov.com/2023/08/04/new-royal-decree-requires-households-to-own-at-least-one-cat/</ref>, Leila (aged 11) began to publicly voice opposition to her father's rule.

==Salad Land lizards==
In August 2023, Leila was sent by her father as a diplomatic envoy to [[Salad Land]] to discuss the [[Thraxian-Saladian War]]. After delivering her father's message, it is believed that Leila was compelled to stay in Salad Land by the Marquis [[Bastien de Salad]] as a semi-hostage while he travelled to Zargothrax to meet with her father. While in Salad Land, however, Leila volunteered to work for the [[Salad Land Lizard Capture Service]] and assist in trapping 400 lizards which had escaped in Salad Land en route to her father's laboratory. During this time, she captured a large number of lizards, making her the most efficient employee of the SLLCS, despite her age.

==Disappearance==
In late November 2023, Leila vanished from the capital city of Castle Zargo. No trace of the 11-year-old then-Princess was found, nor was there any evidence of a kidnapping. The Royal Family were criticised for a lack of panic surrounding her disappearance, as they believed her to have left of her own accord. The disappearance was not even reported in the media until January<ref>https://idugov.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2423&pid=23488#pid23488</ref>. Leila remained missing until July 2025 when she reappeared in Castle Zargo alongside unknown military forces, styling herself Queen of Zargothrax. Her whereabouts during this period are still unknown.

==Royal claim==
In July 2025, Leila reappeared during a coronation ceremony where she was crowned as Queen Leila I of Zargothrax, the country's first Queen Regnant. This followed the seizure of territory previously controlled by Chief Advisor Hashemi since the outbreak of the [[Thraxian Civil War]] in November 2024 by unknown military forces. It is believed that Leila is likely being used as a puppet by these forces, whose origin remains unknown.
