What is a word that describes a person who takes up a challenge
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
The same thing as the title. The situation is a person whose intent is against the protagonist's and is taking up a king's challenge.
I'm rewriting a fairytale from a different perspective. The fairytale being The 12 dancing princesses.
This has been answered. Thanks for your help!

I would say a champion. A champion loves being challenged because that's the way he gets to prove he is still a champion.
Also try adventurous, bold or daredevil.

But the champion has already succeeded.

I would say "a contender" - a person or group competing with others to achieve something.
Contender — M-W
a person who tries to win something in a contest; especially : a person who has a good chance of winning
"There are several contestants, but only two real contenders."
"This latest defeat means that she's no longer a contender for the world title."
