Aunt Helene

**Aunt Helene Le Domas** is a major antagonist in Ready or Not.

## Biography

Helene was married to Charles when he drew the Hide and Seek card and was subsequently killed as part of the ritual. Thirty years later, Helene is seen at the wedding between Grace and Alex. Grace draws from the box a card that reads "hide and seek." Unaware of the game's true nature, Grace leaves to hide in a dumbwaiter while the Le Domases, excluding Alex, arm themselves with antique weapons to hunt down Grace.

Alex finds Grace before his family, and they witness Emilie accidentally kill one of the maids. Alex tells Grace that Hide and Seek is the only option that could be drawn from the box that would involve the Le Domas family trying to kill Grace. The Le Domas family believes that if they fail to kill Grace before dawn, they will all die, as part of the deal agreed by Victor Le Domas and Le Bail long ago. Against his family’s wishes, Alex promises to Grace that he will help her escape, having not told her about the ritual because he was afraid that she would leave him. Alex then heads to the house’s security room after instructing Grace to go to the exit at the kitchen.

While looking for the exit, Grace encounters a second maid named Dora, who is inadvertently killed, and Daniel who, like Alex, hates the nature of his family thus allowing Grace to run. Alex deactivates the estate’s security cameras and unlocks the doors of the house. However, he is discovered by Tony and Daniel, who render him unconscious and capture him for his betrayal; Alex spends the majority of the film handcuffed in his and Grace's bedroom. Grace manages to escape the house and runs as fast as she can through the mansion grounds.

A third maid is accidentally killed by Emilie. Stevens informs the family that Grace has left the house but promises to capture her. Grace manages to leave the estate grounds after being shot in the hand by Emilie’s son Georgie, and being cut in the back going through a fence. Stevens chases after Grace in a car but she manages to temporarily incapacitate him after he gets out to restrain her.

Attempting to drive off with the car, Grace contacts the vehicle assistance company, but the car was reported stolen and they disable it remotely, allowing Stevens to tranquilize and capture Grace. While Stevens drives her back to the estate, Grace causes him to crash the car, killing him. However, Grace is discovered by Daniel who, knowing that Tony is secretly watching, knocks her out again and recaptures her. The Le Domas family prepare to sacrifice Grace in a satanic ritual. After the family drinks from a cup of wine as part of the ritual, they all begin to vomit except for Daniel, who non-lethally poisoned the wine, coming to the belief that his family deserves to die and that the cycle of sacrificing people needs to end.

Meanwhile, Alex is able to escape by rubbing the chain of his handcuffs against the wooden frame of the bed he's cuffed to. Daniel frees Grace and they attempt to leave the house before Daniel is shot and killed by Charity. After setting the house on fire during a confrontation with Tony that results in his lantern shattering on one of the curtains, Becky corners Grace and a fight breaks out between them, but the latter gets the upper hand and is able to beat her to death with Le Bail's box. Alex arrives and knowing that Grace will no longer want to stay with him after what the Le Domases have put her through, captures Grace for his family to sacrifice.

### Death

When the sun rose and everyone thought that the Le Bail's Curse was fake, Helene attempted to kill Grace until she explodes into gore.

She, along with Fitch, Charity, Emilie, Georgie, Gabe, Tony and Alex, won the Golden Chainsaw because he loved the effect and a great conclusion to the question if the curse was real.
