Helsa (The Princess and the Pea)

Helsa (Eve Karpf) is a villain in The Princess and the Pea. She is Princess Hildegarde's mother and Laird's wife who aid's him in his plan to re-claim the throne.
Her husband was originally thought to be the next king but his claim was lost when he misunderstood what the law claimed. When her brother-in-law, Heath, becomes king, he has Helsa and Laird banished to rule over the pig kingdom in hopes that they will change their selfish ways. 
Several months after the banishment, Helsa gives birth to a daughter. When Laird learns that his brother also has a newborn daughter, he devices a plan to take back what he believes is his by having Helsa claim that they lost their own daughter and that she wishes to care for her new niece whose mother died during birth.
When caring for her niece and forming a bond with her, Helsa questions if she and Laird should go through with the plan as the infant princess is not at fault for Laird losing the throne but is convinced to continue with the plan when Laird points out that not doing so would deny their daughter her rightful place as princess. 
Over the years, Helsa raises her daughter, Hildegard, to be spoiled, selfish, proud, and cruel.
Because of Laird's plan, Hildegard believes that Helsa is her aunt charged with her upbringing. After Hildegard fails to make Prince Rollo agree to a marriage proposal, Laird instructs Helsa to tell Hildegard the truth of her birth. Helsa does so and is happy that Hildegard agrees to join her parent's in their plan to take the kingdom. Helsa continues to help Laird and Hildegard however she can until they are stopped and punished for their scheme.
