Helenys Dandemire

Born simply as Helenys to Rosa and a father whom she does not know herself due to her mother's reluctance to tell who fathered both her and her older brother Lucifer, Helennys is a young woman whose pragmatism and determination for life is shadowed only by her desire to try and make the best situation she can for her family in a world where the top percentile rule without so much care for the lives of the common folk such as her.
== Appearance and Character ==
Helenys for all intents and purposes does not dress or look in a manner which looks anywhere close to an attempt to big herself up more than she is. Her complexion is that of a saltborn on the coast, light hazel eyes and pale skin are accompanied by harsh facial features. While she is working in court she keeps her blonde hair tied in a loose braid behind her head which she often decorates with different colorful seashells or coral that she might find on the beach whenever she gets to go. Otherwise, she is fine just letting her hair go loose and wild with varying smaller braids and shells used to decorate the braids. Her clothing is often a combination of various bits and bobs that she can find or use to make her own clothing. Anything from discarded fancy silks, stolen satin or even fish nets from time to time. She is not too fussy in her choice of attire as most of the money that she manages to generate from the mixture of her work as a merchant and as an underground poison dealer goes towards helping provide towards her family. Helenys is genuinely a sweet and kind individual who tries her best to reach the most ideal solution in any situation that she faces. While she may smile and be polite to those even whom she may only just tolerate, do not mistake the sweetness for being naive or the ideal target to be stomped over. Helenys, while taciturn for the majority of the time, has the capacity to stand up for herself and defend her own beliefs if need be. However in contrast to her husband Narkian, while he is bold and brash in his approach to conflict, Helenys acts with a certain element of icy grace and politeness which is jarring and unnerving. Not one to raise her voice or let emotions get a hold of her, she will make her point clear with a calm composure befitting that of a merchant who has dealt with shady individuals in the underground.
Furthermore, Helenys is generally a loyal person and will not deviate from her word should she promise to terms. However, in conjunction with this, whenever she sets terms or agrees to ideas or plans, she will always make sure to make a mental note of the exact words that the other person will use so that she can do her own thing whilst staying within the guidelines given to her. That way if they complain or show hostilities she can return them back to their agreement and point out the fact that they were not explicit enough in the information they provided as a part of the deal. Helenys knows Saerial with all its beauty and finery still contains enough dirt to cover the Jeweled Sea and ultimately, the safeguarding of her family will always take priority over everything else.
