Princess Svea of Arendaal

Princess Svea of Arendaal (b. 1989) is the fifth daughter and sixth child of King Edvard V of Arendaal and Laura of Franken. She is currently fifth in line to the Crown of Arendaal, and by is both a Princess of the Kingdom of Arendaal and titular Grand Duchess of Champagne.

Svea is known for her cool, patrician demeanor, her good looks and her inbility, in any circumstance, to look dishevelled. According to her, this is because Aren princesses cannot physically be dishevelled - they can only, occassionally, be "deshabillé" (which translates as "dishevelled, but with bags and bags of style.") Charming when she cares to be, Svea is famous - like her father and sister Sophia - of wielding a gaze stern enough to make bears cower in humiliated shame. To be looked at by Svea is to know that you have taken up too much of her precious time.

She has been linked to numerous eligible European royals and business tycoons and as such she is a favourite topic for the Aren tabloids.

Perhaps surprisingly, Svea is deeply committed to helping her mother, Queen Laura, with her many charitable foundations and takes her duties as a member of the Royal Family seriously. Her work in children's charities is particularly commended, although Svea has a somewhat creative view of what children should be learning.

On Christmas Day 2008, her version of Jack and the Beanstalk, which she recited to sick children at a hospital in Emyn Arnen, was as follows: "And then Jack chopped down what was the world's last beanstalk, adding murder and ecological terrorism to the theft, enticement and trespass charges already mentioned and all the giant's children didn't have a daddy any more. But he got away with it and lived happily ever after without so much as a guilty twinge about what he had done. Which proves that you can be excused just about anything if you're a hero, because no one asks inconvenient questions."
