Helga Hilding

Helga Hilding is one of the player characters in the One Piece Shared Universe and a prominent member of the Bizarre Generation. She is the captain and sole member of the Bronze Ring Pirates. Her dream is to become the world's strongest creature, a goal that stems from Helga's desire to protect both herself and anyone close to her. Helga believes that the only way for her friends to be safe is if she herself is stronger than everything they face.

### Appearance

Helga is a young woman in her early twenties with an athletic yet very tall frame, standing at roughly 260cm or 8'6'', a staggering height for anyone not of the One Piece verse. As for her more detailed features, Helga has a sharp jawline, bright green eyes, long brown hair, and fair yet not quite pale skin. In spite of her being rather thin for her size she is visibly strong, sporting well toned and almost visibly compact muscles. A large scar, the result of a grazed goring, trails the length of Helga's right bicep, and a fairly more planned scar, a tattoo, circles her left arm. Ever since she ate the polar bear fruit, Helga has gotten colder, less colourful hair.

Helga often wears a black tank top with a matching leather one for extra protection, and she wears leather wrappings in place of gloves. Layered on top of these, Helga often wears bright rainbow sweatbands. In her hybrid zoan form, Helga sports pure white fur, near translucent, black claws, and a black snout instead of a snout. She also sheds her wrappings (but not the sweatbands) and usually only wears her cloth under-top as she grows in size to about 410 cm, or 13'5''.

### Abilities

#### Devil Fruit

Helga has eaten the Kuma-Kuma no mi: model polar bear, earning her the ability to turn into either a ferocious polar bear or a mix of human and bear, lending her a massive increase in durability and strength. The blood lust of the polar bear also lends her some additional abilities relating to tracking and brutality.

#### Haki

Helga mainly utilises armament haki, granting her a boost in either striking power or physical resistance, while also letting her strike logia users without sea stone prism. Helga also has some skill with using observation haki, granting her the ability to vaguely sense others' presence and their intention. In addition to these, there are rumblings of potential in Helga, and a fierce look in her eye suggests a force of will stronger than most.

#### Fighting Style

Helga fights according to the constitution style of fighting, and she has recently mastered the basics and thus advanced her fighting style to that of the Berzerker: a ferocious style in which Helga uses her own rage to gain strength, who's to say what she'll be able to do with it in the future. In battle, Helga acts as a heavy hitting bruiser, able to tank heavy punishment while dishing it out at the same time. When she enters her zoan forms she becomes even more durable; a near insurmountable foe.

Weapons-wise, Helga wields a wide greatsword roughly two meters in size.

### Status

#### Crew

Helga is the captain of the Bronze Ring Pirates, but since they don't have any other members yet they don't exactly count as a social unit.

#### Family

As far as Helga is concerned, her family as dead and gone, considering the mother who birthed her died in childbirth and the father who raised her was killed by pirates. Helga's biological father is unknown and possibly alive, but it doesn't matter all that much to her beyond simple curiosity.
