'''Sarene''' wasis the daughter of King [[Eventeo]] of [[Teod]]{{book ref|Elantris|2}} and Queen of Arelon. She hadhas one brother, who wasis the heir to the Teoish throne.{{book ref|Elantris|17}}
 
== Appearance and Personality==
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.
 
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]]{{book 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.

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]]{{book ref|text=[[Elantris/Summary#Chapter_23|''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.{{book ref|text=[[Elantris/Summary#Chapter_14|''Elantris'' Chapter 14]]}}
 
== History ==
She convinces the people to accept Raoden as king even though he is an Elantrian, but then the Derethi priests attack Arelon, capturing Sarene, along with the rest of her allies and family in [[Kae]]. She is taken to [[Teoin]] by [[Dilaf]], where he attempts to use her to make King Eventeo surrender to the Derethi. With the aid of Hrathen, Raoden, [[Galladon]], and many other Elantrians, she fights off the Derethi invasion and saves both Kae and Teod from Dilaf's attack.
 
Afterward, she is married in a grand ceremony to Raoden(who has been cured and transformed into a full Elantrian), and becomes the Queen of Arelon.
