Marie Elisabeth, Empress of Karnia

Maria Isabel Haiane (German: Marie Elisabeth Haiane, Hungarian: Mária Erzsébet Haiane, English: Marie Elisabeth Haiane), is the second Empress-Queen of Karnia-Ruthenia and Occidian Empress, among several other positions. She was born in São Paulo into a branch of the House of Woestein, but rose to prominence when she became the wife of Emperor Oscar of Karnia-Ruthenia, one of the most successful micronations of its time. Their marriage was the first real micronational dynastic union to date. Nicknamed Hanny, she enjoyed an informal upbringing and still preffer a more relaxed environment, in contrast with the characteristic of her Woestein lineage, best represented in the best-known member of the family, her cousin Lucas VIII, Prince of Woestein and Stadhouder of Mauritia. She is only daugther and third child of Infante Ricardo and Infanta Cilene of Woestein, younger sister of Jonkvrouw Leandro and Jonkvrouw Leonardo, older sister of Jonkvrouw Leo Rodrigo and the natural mother of Alice, Archduchess of Karnia, adopted daughter of Oscar I. She is also the third and current head of the Karno-Ruthenian Red Cross.

Early life
Marie Elisabeth Haiane was born in São Paulo, Brazil into a branch of the House of Woestein. Her parents are Infante Ricardo of Woestein, Margrave of Neuhaus and Infanta Cilene of Woestein. Their third child, she is the younger sister of Jonkheer Leandro and Jonkheer Leonardo, and the older sister of Jonkheer Leo Rodrigo. Raised by her maternal grandmother, she lived as a common middle class young girl. With a very independent and jaunty nature, she start to work in a music store as a 15-years old, much to her mother's dismay.

Carreer
She would work there until she become pregnant at 18-years old from her boyfriend at the time. The relationship ended before the birth of her daughter, Jonkvrouw Alice, on 06 July 2014. After a break due to pregnancy, she resumed her university studies, graduating as a nurse. Working in important hospitals, she acquired a good reputation in her area despite her young age. In 2020, she began studying law as well. In the following year, she met Oscar I, who would happen to be a close friend of her cousin, Prince Lucas VIII of Woestein, Stadhouder of Mauritia and one of the most well-known micronationalists of Brazil. With his support, the relationship became serious enough to become the first real dynastic union in micronationalism to date.

Empress and queen
She assumed the title of Empress of Karnia and Queen of Ruthenia in the same day of her wedding, on 26 August 2021. At the beginning of her married life, they lived apart. Oscar I resided in Hofbau Palace in Persenburg and she lived with her daughter in Steinplatte Palais, her residence in São Paulo. They talked by telephone several times a day when separated, while he was dealing with his micronational and macronational affairs and she still working as a nurse. As empress, she would discreetly attend micronational events, and was expected to assume the Karno-Ruthenian Red Cross, what she did in 09 September 2021.
