Van Halen

== Description ==
* Van Halen (also called "VH") is a friendly dryad and the first otherworldly entity the Autobots meet. 
* Van Halen is a benevolent and helpful figure. She adores the music and popular culture of Earth, particularly the David Lee Roth era of Van Halen. Until "Twist of Fate", her Tree was situated in the woods adjacent to the Magnetrine Truck Graveyard that houses Teletraan II, the Autobot's hideout.
* Some time before Christmas 1988 Van Halen would somehow move her tree to safety at the Centre Court of The Maplehurst Mall, where she would attain seasonal employment as one of Santa's Elves and be a regular at the Mall's Camelot Music.

* Dec 3, 1988: 
** At the beginning of S2.5-E.4, Veronica Kirkshaw (who is in hiding as "Martha in the Morning") mentions that she's lost VH.
** Later during that episode, the Keystones realize that the morse code message that they have been trying to decipher, and which was sent over the Mitchie-Talkie, came from Van Halen. "Got the fearin', power steerin', pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now. Panama. Panama. I had to move my home. Meet me in the place that sort of sounds like where I live." They realize they need to go to the Maplehurst Mall to find VH.
** In S2.5-E.5, Van Halen mentions that she lost Veronica Kirkshaw.
** In the same episode, the Keystones find Van Halen and her tree in the Center Court of The Maplehurst Mall. She shares with them that she has been sent to "ready the field." Van Halen asks the Keystones to assist in bringing down the veil so that the forces of good can come over. This will also allow the Autobots to return home.
** In S2.5-E.6, Van Halen asks the Keystones if she can join their band, and they welcome her in. 
**In the same episode, She then leads them to cast the spell. When it is done, they they go to the Tree Lighting Ceremony where Dr. Arkeville mesmerize the whole town. Van Halen tries to hold the power back from impacting the Keystones but she is unable to. Except for Heather, they all walk away, until there is only Heather left. VH puts Heather to sleep to protect her from "him". When Summer arrives, VH collects the Keystones and leads them to cast the spell. Once again she lets the Keystones drift away and puts Heather back to sleep in her tree. She awakens them again in December 1989.
