Grand Queen Isō

Suzumeko (Chiseian Yashiman: 雀子), known posthumously as Grand Queen Isō of Shun (春懿宗大王 Shun Isō Daiō) and prior to her coronation as Crown Princess Suzumeko (皇太子雀子親王 Kōtaishi Suzumeko Shinnō) was the 11th Grand Queen of Chisei, and the 15th monarch of the Shun dynasty according to the traditional order of succession, ruling from the 13th of October 1962 to the 4th of March 1989.

As the daughter of Queen Teibo, Suzumeko oversaw the completion of the restoration of democracy in Chisei, the economic recovery of the nation from the Escar-Varunan War, the founding of the Shiro-Yamataian alliance, and sweeping social-demographic changes. Her reign was broken into two , the Tenhei era (天平) from 1962 - 1973, and the Man'en era (嘉永) from 1974 - 1994.

In 1981, after years of chronic illness and periods of reclusiveness, the Grand Queen confirmed she had been diagnosed with advanced. Having never married, she designated her brother Tenkahiko as Crown Prince, and effectively retired from regular duties in 1983, though she would continue her reign until her death in 1989.
