Helel

* Incomplete
* Complete
* Overworld

**Helel** is a Darkner from the Faith World. She is the secret boss of Chapter 4: Faith Dissonance. Her Light World counterpart is a hammer formerly owned by the Church of Kindness and later Gerson Boom.

## Profile

### Appearance

In her incomplete form, Helel is a tall, slender angel with a white face and a singular large eye. She has long gray hair that extends to her ankles. Above her head is a gray halo that occasionally turns into a question mark. She wears a metallic chestpiece that covers her neck and upper torso. A gray gown covers her lower torso and legs. On her back are a pair of white wings. Her body has a metallic nature to it. Her head has been shown to be able to stretch unnaturally, and her entire body sometimes dissolves into glitches.

Her complete form more closely resembles a traditional angel, being much more friendly and human. Her halo becomes a glowing white, and she regains her arms. Notably, she possesses a human face instead of a singular eye. Her hair turns white and she sprouts additional wings when she prepares for battle with the Delta Warriors.

### Personality

While incomplete, Helel has a broken and glitchy manner of speaking. She sometimes emphasizes arbitrary words or hangs on a syllable for far too long. She also has a peculiar tendency to begin narrating from a third-person omniscient perspective, and this behavior will abruptly cut in the middle of her dialogue, suggesting she has at most a limited awareness of it. Oddly, while she is mourning Gerson, she speaks normally, despite being incomplete.

She is friendly but difficult to understand, and attacks Kris with no provocation in an attempt to "TAKE [their] LIGHT AND RETURN TO HEAVEN".  After reaching an understanding of the similarities between her and Kris, she eagerly deems Kris a friend.

When she is complete, Helel is described to possess the "kindest voice imaginable." She quickly loses her temper when Kris refuses to give up the SOUL, and despite her status as the Angel of Kindness, is not above killing the Delta Warriors. This may be a side effect of her status as complete being only temporary without the SOUL.

## Powers and Abilities

### Hammer Creation

Helel possesses the ability to summon giant hammers. These hammers can vary in size and have immense destructive power. They were able to destroy the crystal containing her and, in her complete form, destroy an entire moon.

### Elemental Power

Helel can use powerful elemental attacks. She can summon lightning strikes and fire beams of light from her eye (alternatively her chest in her complete form).

### Healing Magic

Helel is believed to be the strongest healer in all of DR:R, as she is able to heal the damage done to an entire moon at the end of her fight. This is believed to be due to her being used as both a war hammer and a smithing hammer in the Light World.

### Cause and Effect Reversal

In her complete form, Helel can reverse cause and effect. Instead of an attack flying at an opponent and hitting them, the opponent is hit and an attack flies at them. This ability makes it effectively impossible to dodge her attacks. Without the power of the Sky Mantle, Helel will damage her targets without fail.

## Main Story

### History

At some point in the past, Gerson Boom came to possess the Hammer of Kindness from a human woman. Knowing its true nature, he treated it as if it were a person. Gerson and Helel's relationship became like a father and daughter. When Gerson eventually passed, the angel was stricken with grief. She fell and became a monster. Her rampage that destroyed part of the Faith World and was ultimately stopped when Darkners such as the Minister and Lighlass used their power to seal her away, imprisoning her in the darkness below.

### Chapter 4

Persuaded by the Roaring Knight, Father Alvin used the Hammer of Kindness to open a dark fountain inside Hometown's church. This caused the hammer to break in half, leaving Alvin with the handle while the other half vanished. This lost half became the now-incomplete Helel, still sealed beneath the Faith World.
