Helena Eagan

**Helena Eagan**, known as **Helly R.** when working at Lumon, is a main protagonist in the thriller series ***Severance***. She is the daughter of Lumon Industries CEO Jame Eagan, and underwent the severance procedure so her consciousness and memory are divided into two parts. She is portrayed by Britt Lower.

## Background

Helena Eagan is the daughter of Jame Eagan, the current CEO of Lumon Industries. She has grown up privileged in her family's empire and has decided to take part in the severance program as a publicity stunt and media story. She is hoping that the fake story of her innie will persuade those who are against the severance procedure to accept it and globalize the program.

Helly R. is an employee in the Macrodata Refinement department of Lumon Industries. Her job involves identifying numbers from a grid based on an emotional response, and categorizing them. The actual purpose of their work is unknown to Helly R. and her fellow refiners, but unlike her coworkers Helly does not take the work very seriously.

She mocks the "scary numbers," and the way Mark S. claims the work is "mysterious and important." Despite this she has shown to be a skilled refiner, earning a Music Dance Experience for 75% completion of the Siena file.

## Personality

Helena is cold and callous in her communications with her inner self. Twice she has refused resignation requests from her inner self, even under threat of bodily harm. She does not believe her inner self to be a true person, or to have any rights.

Helly R. has a highly rebellious and defiant streak, and spends much of her time trying to get a message to her outer self, threatening to cut her fingers off to get a message out, and finally resorting to hanging herself in an upgoing elevator.

## Physical Description

Helena is a beautiful woman with pale skin and green eyes. She has long red hair that she keeps wavy and shoulder length, with short bangs. She dresses in high end clothing, in long skirts and blouses for work and wears beautiful jewelry in her personal life.
