== Appearance and Personality==
{{image| Sarene by Hayley Olivia.jpg|side=left|width=200px}}
Sarene is described as being unusually tall for a woman, as well as thin. This leads to [[Eventeo|her father]] nicknaming her [[Leky_stick|Leky Stick].]She has fair hair and is presumably well muscled, due to her affinity for fencing.

She is also known for being brusque, occasionally sarcastic, and patronizing to those who underestimate or try to manipulate her. This is shown by how she acts dimwitted in order to manipulate [[Iadon|King Iadon]],{{book ref|Elantris|5}} using his sexist views against him.
== Personality ==
 
She seeks to better the lives of others, man or woman, rich or poor.
Sarene, as princess of [[Teod]], is very politically savvy, and not afraid of using any means to get what she wants. This is shown by how she is willing to act like an idiot in order to manipulate [[Iadon|King Iadon]]{{ref|text=[[Elantris/Summary#Chapter_5|''Elantris'' Chapter 5]]}}. She is known for being very clever, so much so that no potential suitors besides [[Raoden]] ever approached her, in fear of living with a woman smarter than them. This, along with the accidental alienation of the majority of women at home, has left her feeling like an outcast. By the end of the book, however, she overcomes this feeling.
