== Charactah Account ==
An opera singer and Pi Gua Quan martial artist. She is the current leader of the Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee, and the illegitimate daughter of Fame Douglas, the former head of the DOATEC, and Maria. She is also the half-sister of Kokoro. Helena enters the Dead or Alive Tournament to find the assassin who killed her mother. Although she was being manipulated by Victor Donovan, she ends up inheriting control of DOATEC after her father’s death. Feeling responsible for the crimes of DOATEC, Helena hosts the 4th tournament, intending to bring down the whole organization along with herself. She nearly succeeded, bidding farewell to everyone until the last moments Zack saved her life.
Eventually, Helena returns and announced that DOATEC has been rebuilt and attempts to steer the company in a more peaceful direction. To prove that, she had Zack announce the 5th tournament, as well as removing any traces of Donovan, his crews and involvement in DOATEC.

== Trivia ==
* Helena is the first non-ninja character to win a tournament.
* Helena's trademark is her bow, which she wears in all her costumes. The bow would also match the color of her costume as well, until Dead or Alive 5 in which she just wears a black laced bow, with the exception of the Christmas DLC in Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, where she wears a large red package-ribbon bow in its place.
* All her English voice-overs giver her a noticeable French accent except for in DOA2: Hardcore, where she speaks with an American accent.
* Helena is the only character of the franchise whose voice actor makes a reappearance after being replaced. This is noted since Karen Strassman, Helena's current English voice actor, first voiced her in Xtreme 2 but never reappeared in Dimensions, yet returned in the next installment, Dead or Alive 5.
* As shown in the Dead or Alive 3 ending, Helena owns a black Labrador Retriever.
** In Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, she can buy a dog collar for it.
* In some of Helena's gravure scenes in the Xtreme sub-series, Helena can be seen reading a book called "Beach Side Lovers I," hinting that Helena's a fan of romance novels.
** On a related note, Helena in the second anniversary event for Xtreme Venus Vacation was familiar with the Japanese fairy tale Urashima Tarō, at least enough to know about the undersea palace and some aspects about the character Oto-hime. However, by her admission, it was to a far lesser extent than Kokoro.
* In Dead or Alive Dimensions, Helena defeated Kasumi α during the time of the third tournament, making her the first non-ninja character to defeat a ninja (although it is a clone).
* Of all the those on vacation on New Zack Island in Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, only Helena mentions Zack by his name. Helena is also the first female ever confirmed to invite someone to the island.
* IGN featured Helena in their "Videogame Babe of the Day" series in 2006.
* Despite being a pigua quan practitioner, some of Helena's moves incorporate the use of savate, a French martial art.
* Helena is one of four characters to reuse the visuals of their Xtreme 3 ending for their level 80 episodes in Xtreme Venus Vacation, the others being Marie Rose, Kasumi, and Hitomi. Of them, she is also the only one to not have any additional scenes added to her ending.
* In the Japanese versions, Helena sometimes uses the term "desu wa" at the end of her sentences when speaking, which is a stereotypical speech pattern in Japanese media that's frequently used with high-class females (such as princesses and noblewomen) or even by haughty/arrogant women.
* Helena has two characters from the Senran Kagura series that she represents. The first is Haruka in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round and Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, while the second is Souji in Xtreme Venus Vacation.
