## History

Her birth was highly regarded. A celebration took place after her christening. It was the first time in over 50 years that a celebration was held for the birth of the heir, since her mother, Helena, was not granted this honor when she was born. She's likely to be the second queen regnant of Willow Creek.

Just as her own mother was popular and speculated as a Crowned Princess, the people of Willow Creek are just as interested in the life of Crowned Princess Zerenity. She developed her dad's eccentric personality and learned from her mother how to hold herself as a Crowned Princess, and now a future queen of Willow Creek.

Her son, Arthur, had a baby out of wedlock with his tutor, Victoria Castle. Zerenity as well as the rest of the Willow Creek Royal Family was scandalized. Though she arranged for the pair to be wed as soon as they were old enough, it still left a mark on the family. Her sister, Queen Akari, came back to Willow Creek to protect herself and children from the war going on in Del Sol Valley. While there, Akari was able to indirectly bring together the family and discover more about their history. Zerenity is now closer to her family than she has ever been and the family was able to gain the popularity back that they lost and some.

## Relationships

Growing up, she was always fond of her siblings, Akari and Leon. All of them were triplets and the same age as each other, so naturally, they were close. Her and Leon were the jokesters of the family, who often played pranks on their parents and teased Princess Akari. She was close with her great grandfather's 3rd wife, Dowager Queen Fallon, and her grandfather's 2nd wife, Dowager Queen Adelia. However, she wasn't able to have a relationship with her maternal grandmother, Princess Karla while young. But Zerenity was able to connect with her as an adult.

She's very close to her mother and father, Queen Helena, and Prince Yosef. Because she's the heir, she was asked to stay in the Queen's apartments with her, which made them even closer.

She met her husband, Bruno, while vacationing in Sulani with her aunt, Princess Carina. The pair hit it off instantly and their pictures together made news headlines almost daily. They were together for about 4 years when Bruno proposed to her. It was rather a public event, since Bruno proposed at a party rather than in private, but Zerenity happily accepted his proposal.

### Fun Facts
