Serena Eu

Born in 2078, Princess Serena acceeded to the throne at the age of 22, upon the sudden death of her father from illness in 2100. As monarch of the tiny village-State of San Adriano, her function is essentially that of a figurehead, and she wields no actual political power. It has been said that the Sanadrianese invented a monarchy, in 1648, merely to accentuate the legitimacy of their village's sovereignty, and so that their borders would be respected.

In 2105, she married Prince Willem, brother of Emperor James II of Uhuh-Topia. She is thus the sister-in-law of the Uhuh-Topian Emperor, which is the first time the royal houses of San Adriano and Uhuh-Topia have been united in marriage. Princess Serena and Prince Willem have two children, Prince Mauro (b.2107) and Princess Petra (b.2110). Prince Mauro is first in line to succeed his mother on the Sanadrianese throne, and is also in the line of succession for the Uhuh-Topian throne.

Princess Serena has very pale brown skin, black hair, and green-tinged brown eyes. She has been described as "graceful, elegant and charming", and upholds those qualities when representing her country abroad. She has maintained the policy of opening the door to her smallish palace on a regular basis, so that the country's citizens can visit her if they wish to; audiences are only semi-formal, and do not heavily emphasise protocol, although citizens treat their monarch with the utmost respect.

The Princess can frequently be seen outside the palace. As she is barred from voting or taking part in any kind of political activity, she steers clear of the Parliament and Assembly Hall, unless specifically invited to attend talks as an honoured (and silent) guest. On the other hand, she does her own shopping, and so can be seen in shops or in the marketplace, where citizens will greet her and sometimes chat more informally than they might in the Palace itself. In this sense, Princess Serena is seen as being very much a member of the village's community.

The Princess is scheduled to assume the Presidency of Uhuhland for six months on August 1st 2121.
