'''Sarene''' is the daughter of King [[Eventeo]] of [[Teod]]{{book ref|Elantris|2}}, and Queen of [[Arelon]]. She has one brother, who is 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]].{{book ref|Elantris|2}} She has fair hair and is presumably well muscled, due to her affinity for fencing. She has silver grey eyes.{{book ref|Elantris|55}}
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|Elantris|5}}. She is known for being very clever, so much so that no potential suitors besides [[Raoden]] ever approached her,
She is also known as being brusque, 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]].{{book ref|Elantris|11}} 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 when she is being lied to, and is very rarely wrong.
Sarene became an ambassador for Teod at a very young age, serving most notably as the ambassador to [[Svorden]].
In an attempt to re-establish diplomatic relations with [[Arelon]], Sarene arranges a political marriage with [[Raoden|Prince Raoden]]. She meets and gets to know Raoden by communicating through letters, and later by [[Seon]]
She spends the first three months of her "married" life working to block the efforts of a [[gyorn]] named [[Hrathen]] to convert the people to [[Shu-Dereth]] and thus add both Teod and Arelon to the massive [[Fjorden#Fjordell_Empire|Fjordell Empire]]. In addition, she works with Raoden's group of friends to attempt to change Iadon's system of government. She also brings food to the Elantrians and teaches a group of Arelish noblewomen , including [[Eshen]] and [[Daora]], fencing, in an attempt to give them some agency in the court.{{book ref|Elantris| 17}}
