Helena Holt

"*What a load of bullcrap come back when you actually have something that is slightly amusing. I mean come on, I love scientific jokes and all just not when I`m trying to build a new invention 'cause it might blow up and there it blew up. Like I said, don`t distract me unless you want to get your face blown off. No offense to you or anything.* "
—Helena Holt`s dismissive tone

**Helena Holt** is a former pilot cadet in the Galaxy Garrison, beginning as a fighter class pilot. She functions as a paladin of Voltron piloting both the Red Lion and Green Lion.

## Appearance

Casual wear.Helena2.pngPaladin armor.Helena has the appearance of a lean older teenager with fair skin and brown eyes; inheriting that part of her mother Pidge/Katie Holt`s dna, as well as her short height and slimness. Her hair is light brown, long, and disheveled. She makes no obvious effort to style it, so her hair flows gracefully down her back barely reaching the middle of her body. Outside of her Paladin Armor, she dons Galaxy Garrison clothing though very rarely. Helena's paladin armour is the same as her teammates', but with green accents to match her Lion. Her causal wear is boyish and comfort oriented. She wears a white long-sleeved shirt with green shoulders and pockets in the front. The shirt has a high, loose collar secured with a grey neck brace, and orange accents. She also wears grey shorts and orange, white-capped shoes. Much like her mother, her eyes feel like they could pierce somebody`s soul and generally scares her teammates when she glares at them.

## Personality

Sharp-witted, sarcastic, unfriendly, a huge lone wolf, and a genius-smart girl; Helena is a total enigma. Taking a lot after both of her parents in the personality departement, she is not a kind-hearted person instead having a callous demeanor towards people due to her disinterest in making friends and even keeping friendships; however her attention is gradually captured by Lance`s adoptive daughter Grace Mclain who wants to be her friend. At first rejecting her because of having no interest in making friends, and being afraid of being laughed at; Helena struggles with a complex issue and believes that she is neither worthy nor has any right to make friends despite many attempts by her parents to get her to make friends. Over the course of the series, Helena is gently coaxed out of her shell by Grace clinging onto her as her own personal source of emotional support and friendship. Due to her immense complex and constant questioning of her self-worth; Helena is a easily distracted person and often needs guidance from the more experienced members of Team Voltron who are gentle with their words. Throughout the series, she becomes a more self-empowered leader and role model even inspiring people to take action to save others from harm. Helena`s way of interacting with people was to switch to Gularian, and curse them out. However, Grace gradually taught her to care for others like how she cared for Grace. Among the Paladins, she is the most blunt unafraid to state her opinion only not doing so when somebody would cry like say a child. Unlike, her fellow Paladins she shows empathy for the Gularians understanding their reasons for wanting to kill the Alteans. Unfortunately, this view has caused tensions between Helena, Grace who sided with Helena and the rest of Team Voltron. She has a great understanding of piloting and fighting; those being her greatest qualities.
