Katarina of Arendaal, Queen of Montelimar ("Katarina von Nareath de Brissac" ; "Katarina the Beautiful") (b. 1985) is the wife of the reigning King Armand Philippe of Montelimar and Queen Consort of the Kingdom of Montelimar. She is the eldest daughter and second child of King Edvard V of Arendaal and Laura of Franken,. By birth she is both a Princess of Arendaal and Grand Duchess of Vasterhølm. She is also the mother of the heir apparent to Montelimar's throne, Prince Jean Edvard Philippe (b. 2006)
Katarina married the King in June, 2005 at the age of 19, in a lavish ceremony in Valmy. The young Queen is famous for her extraordinary beauty and elegant demeanour. King Armand was immediately smitten by her charms upon first meeting Katarina when she was seventeen. The couple enjoy a reportedly happy marriage and have one child together.
Before her marriage, Katarina trained as a classical pianist at the Royal Academy of Music in the Aren capital of Emyn Arnen. She also excelled at the acquisition of languages - being currently fluent in no less than seven tongues - and regularly attended performances of various theatrical companies, the Aren Philharmonic, the Royal Opera and the Royal Ballet. Her love of the arts is perhaps the reason for her horror of her younger sister Princess Isabelle's budding opera career, since despite Isabelle's enthusiasm she is (without question) tone deaf. 
Until she married, Katarina was second in line to the Aren throne and Grand Duchess of Svealand, at which time she signed the Covenant of Kronstad and gave up her succession rights and the title of Svealand in favour of her younger sisters (as per Aren tradition, most Aren princesses who marry foreign sovereigns forgo their own claim on the Aren crown, to prevent foreign rulers to try to inherit the Crown of Arendaal). Her father granted her the title of Grand Duchess of Vasterhølm upon her marriage (a rich region in the province/Grand Duchy of Skaneland).
