Sarene was the daughter of King Eventeo of TeodCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content and Queen of Arelon. She was described as being tall and lanky, with blonde hair. A brilliant, brusque and outspoken woman, she had some difficulties fitting in to the court of Teod. She spent several years working as an ambassador for Teod, serving most notably as the ambassador to Svorden. The Seon Ashe was bound to her. Eventeo nicknamed her after his favourite sport, Leky stick, due to her figure.
In an attempt to re-establish diplomatic relations with Arelon, Sarene set up an arranged marriage with Prince Raoden. She had communicated with Raoden through letters and Seon. One of the clauses in the engagement contract specified that should either Sarene or Raoden die before they were married the marriage would be considered to have been carried out and still binding, and since Raoden was considered legally dead after his transformation Sarene became "married" to a dead man, and became King Iadon's daughter and the princess of Arelon by law.
She spent the first three months of her "married" life working to block the efforts of Hrathen to convert the people to Shu-Dereth and attempting to fix the problems with Iadon's rule over Arelon. She taught a group of Arelish noble ladies, including Eshen and Daora, fencing during this time. She had arranged to marry Duke Roial for a political alliance in order to make him king of Arelon instead of his competitor, Duke Telrii. However, she had been affected by a substance which Hrathen had arranged to be given to her. The substance gave her the outward appearance of an Elantrian, and she was banished to Elantris just as she should have been married to Roial. After five days in Elantris, she and Raoden figured out that she was not truly an Elantrian, and she returned to Kae. When the Derethi priests attacked Arelon, she was captured along with the rest of her allies and family in Kae, and she was taken to Teoin by Dilaf, where he tried to use her to make King Eventeo surrender to the Derethi. With the aid of Hrathen, Raoden, Galladon, and many other Elantrians, she fought off the Derethi invasion and saved both Kae and Teod from Dilaf's attack. Afterward, she was married in a grand ceremony to Raoden, and became the Queen of Arelon.
She had one brother, who was the heir to the Teoish throne.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
