== Personality ==
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'' 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.
She is also known as being brusque and occasionally sarcastic and patronizing to those who underestimate or try to manipulate her. She is a natural leader, as evidenced by her immediate taking over of Raoden's revolutionary group, despite strong personalities such as [[Roial]] and [[Ahan]]. She is never satisfied with an unsolved mystery, and will allow herself to be sidetracked by unraveling them. Not only that, but she can detect quite well whens he is being lied to, and is very rarely wrong.
She seeks to better the lives of others, such as when she brings food to the [[Elantrians]]{{ref|text=''Elantris'' Chapter 23}}, works to overthrow King Iadon's system of government{{ref|text=''Elantris''}}, and works with the women of [[Arelon]] to improve their status in society.{{ref|text=''Elantris'' Chapter 17}}
