**Queen Helena of Willow Creek** is the current reigning, and 3rd recorded monarch of Willow Creek in the Allied Kingdoms. She the first Queen to reign in her own right in Willow Creek so far.

She is married to Lord Yosef Zarate of Windenburg, who is currently the Prince Consort of Willow Creek. Her children are The Crowned Princess Zerenity, Prince Leon, Baron of Willow Creek, Princess Akari, Queen Mother of Del Sol Valley, and Princess Valerie, Viscountess of Willow Creek.

## History

She was born during the reign of her Grandfather, King Alexander. Upon her arrival, Alexander was disappointed by his son, Crowned Prince Paul, for giving him a female heir apparent. He didn't believe women could rule a country, and always held a

grudge against Paul and Helena for that matter.

Despite that, Helena grew up with a loving father. Her mother, Princess Karla, on the other hand, loved her deeply, but didn't know how to express it. Their relationship was rocky for years, but improved at the end of Karla's life, when she realized how much she needed her.

As the princess, the people of Willow Creek were more and more interested in her as she aged. Her kind nature, charity, and elegance are adored and admired all over the country and the people have a lot of hope for her as their new sovereign. Her father ensured that she would be civilized and accomplished, so she received an impressive education and is able to speak several languages.

## Relationships

Because of the fraught marriage of her parents, Paul wanted Helena and the rest of his children to marry for love rather than political gain.

Her grandfather's third and final wife, Dowager Queen Fallon, became somewhat of a mother figure to her, as her own mother was aggressive and would often get into terrible arguments with the palace staff, her, and especially her father. Helena met her husband, Yosef, when she was visiting Windenburg with her step-grandmother. Fallon was the one to introduce Helena to her nephew and the pair instantly hit it off. It took them a while to make their relationship public, in fear of backlash, but the countries were delighted at the news and their popularity skyrocketed. The pair were wed in a beautiful ceremony and the couple live happily together with their 4 children.

All of her siblings were over ~20 years younger than her, which made it awkward for them to connect for some time. However, she knows all her siblings well. After their father's death, Prince Karl, Queen Azurine, and Princess Carina relied on their oldest sister for support while they grieved their father.

Before his death, she became closer to her dad, after he became king, and her step-mother, Queen Adelia.
