She is also known as being brusque, occasionally sarcastic, and patronizing to those who underestimate or try to manipulate her. This is shown by how she is acts dimwitted in order to manipulate King Iadon[6], using his sexist views against him.

She seeks to better the lives of others, man or woman, rich or poor.

History

by Séverine Dumagny
With Ashe

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 arranged a political marriage with Prince Raoden. She met and got to know Raoden by communicating through letters, and later by seon. When she arrived in Arelon, however, she found out that Raoden had died of "disease". A clause in the marriage contract stated that the death of either her or Raoden qualified as a marriage, so she found herself a widow, and legally the daughter of King Iadon of Arelon.[2]

She spent 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 Fjordell Empire. In addition, she worked with Raoden's group of friends to attempt to change Iadon's system of government. She also brought food to the Elantrians, where she met Raoden under the name Spirit, and taught a group of Arelene noblewomen, including Eshen and Daora, fencing in an attempt to give them some agency in the court.[8]

Hrathen eventually got to Telrii, a rich nobleman, and promised to place him on the throne if he converted to Shu-Dereth. When Iadon committed suicide, Sarene realized that the only way to keep Telrii off the throne was to combine her fortunes with Roial's through marriage.[9] On the day of the wedding, however, Hrathen poisoned her to make her look like she had undergone transformation by the Shaod, and she was thrown into Elantris.[10] During her time in Elantris, she studied AonDor with Raoden. Together they discovered that AnoDor was tied to the geography of Arleon. After five days in Elantris, when the poison wore off, she and Raoden realized that she was not truly an Elantrian, and she returned to Kae.[11] Shortly after Sarene left Elantris, Raoden managed to use AonDor by adding a line for the great chasm.[12]

Sarene met Raoden again, this time in his with AonDor created disguise as the Dula noble "Kaloo".[13] When King Telrii attacked, Raoden revealed his identity.[14] After Eondel killed Telrii, Raoden claimed the throne.[15]

She convinced the people to accept Raoden as their king even though he was an Elantrian,[16] but then the Derethi priests attacked Arelon, capturing Sarene along with the rest of her allies and family in Kae. She was taken to Teoras by Dilaf, where he attempted to use her to make King Eventeo surrender to the Derethi.[17] With the aid of Hrathen, Raoden, Galladon, and other Elantrians, she fought off the Derethi invasion and saved both Kae and Teod from Dilaf's attack.[7]

Afterward, she was married in a grand ceremony to Raoden, and became the Queen of Arelon.[18] She became pregnant by him afterwards.
