== Personality ==
When she was young, Helena Shaw was already shown to be rather curious and interested in her father's research and listened to the conversations he had with her godfather, the famous archaeologist Indiana Jones. Several years after the death of her father, Helena starts looking for her godfather so that he can help her find the Dial of Destiny, to become a famous and recognized archaeologist, but also to be able to sell it at an illegal auction in Morocco, where she often go sells relics. This shows that Helena has no real scruples and is ready to do anything to get what she wants. Helena is also addicted to money and wealth, stating that the only thing worth believing in is money, wanting to sell any archaeological artifact to make money, although her godfather confides each time, declaring that their place is in the museum.
However despite her rather unpleasant personality, Helena shows that she has a good side, which she shows more and more as the film unfolds. In particular, she watches over Teddy Kumar, a teenager from a poor and violent background in Morocco, who quickly becomes a close friend. Finally, though she didn't really show it at first, Helena loves her godfather deeply, eventually risking her life to save him after he's captured by Jürgen Voller and begs Indiana to come back with her to New York when he decides to stay in Antiquity. She then begs Archimedes in old greek, but Indiana insist for she left him here. In order to prevent the story from being changed and not to lose her godfather who she takes as a father figure, Helena knocks him out with her fist and brings him back against his will in 1969, in order to also reconcile him. with his ex-wife Marion.
