Princess Alice VA CI (Alice Maud Mary; 25 April 1843 – 14 December 1878) was Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine from 13 June 1877 until her death in 1878 as the wife of Grand Duke Louis IV.

Alice was the first of Queen Victoria's nine children to die, and one of three to predecease their mother, who died in 1901.

Her life had been enwrapped in tragedy since her father's death in 1861.

“Queen Victoria was a Slytherin, Prince Albert was Ravenclaw, Victoria, Jr. was Ravenclaw like her dad, Bertie/Edward was a Gryffindor, Alice was a Hufflepuff, Louise was a Gryffindor, Leopold was a Ravenclaw, and Beatrice was a Hufflepuff. But I’m conflicted on Alfred, Helena, and Arthur. Any ideas people?” - Submitted by Anonymous

Theodora Elizabeth Juliane von Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (OC): The youngest daughter of Duke Octavius and Duchess Annabelle of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, she's a shy girl forbidden from leaving her family's castle in Thuringia. She greatly resembles a distant relative, Princess Juliane of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (aka Grand Duchess Anna Feodorovna of Russia), to the point of wearing a red dress and hat similar to the one the princess wore in a painting.

Beautiful Marie (Missy) of Romania was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England and of Tsar Alexander II. Her mother was the only surviving daughter of Alexander II, Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna, and her father was Queen Victoria's fourth child and second son, Alfred (Affie) Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

When she started getting close to marriageable age, just about every Prince wanted her...her father's dream was that she should marry the future George V (and Georgie was willing), but her mother did not want her to marry in England. Grand Duke George Mikhailovich also tried to "apply" for the position and was sent packing. Marie eventually married Crowned Prince Ferdinand of Romania. She was very popular in her adopted country when she was Crowned Princess and during her reign.
