## Biography

Not much is known for Helen's past except that she is the daughter of a blacksmith and a noble woman's that after giving birth to her, abandoned her and her father of who she ruined the life of because he kept and raised Helen instead of disposing her.

## Appearance

She wears a white dress whose white skirt covers her knees and the dress itself is covered by a white jacket, white shoes and a blue pendant. After her clothes were ruined, she would have for normal clothes a white t-shirt with a short blue tie, short blue shorts, blue leggings, brown shoes and a blue blazer with a silver trim. After joining the Black Bulls and when going on missions, she would wear a white battle-dress consisting of steel gauntlets, greaves with wooly stockings and a headress while the dress part is white with blue outlines and exposes her back.

## Personality

Helen is a very cute, outgoing and social person, a girl brimming with hope and positivity, loving to visit new places and interact with new people, with those being the reasons she left on a journey and desiring to join the Magic Knights. Generally, she won't openly show when she is sad or hurt in order to not worry others, but she will talk about what she truly is feeling if asked or pressed enough. She has fallen for Dean Bestia, with her feelings becoming stronger and purer by the day and she always flirts with him ever so subtly, with his silence and stance only encouraging her while she is the eternal rival of Serena Biblos in that regard, with both exchanging insults but in a more classy manner. Much to her embarassment, she isn't that much organized for a girl, needing to be reminded to clean the house and do other chores, but she tries hard to change so she can become an ideal housewife in the future. Finally, she hates her mother, not for abanding her, but because she was the one that made her father's life a living hell just because he kept Helen alive, wishing to find and ridicule her in a fight regardless of her noble status.
