Maria Severa Onofriana (July 26, 1820November 30, 1846), also known simply as A Severa, is regarded as the first fado singer to have risen to fame, attaining a near-mythical status after her death. Fado has been described as the Portuguese expression of 'the blues,' and fado roughly means fate.
A Severa died two months after her twenty-sixth birthday.
This person did not die 2 months after turning 26. She died just over 4 months following her 26th birthday. Using words for numbers could be why the model was fooled.
