The fate of Romana has been a huge question since Russell T Davies decided to blow up Gallifrey in 2005. Even when the Doctors restored their home planet in The Day of the Doctor, we're still none the wiser about where this particular Time Lord has ended up.

Spinoff media established that Romana became President of Gallifrey in the years before the Time War. It's so firmly established in fact, that it's practically taken as official canon by fans. So what happened to Romana when the Time Lords went to war with the Daleks?

Did she perish in the Time War? Or did she survive in exile after being deposed by Rassilon? Also, were her and the Fourth Doctor actually in love with each other?!
