Overall personality:
determined, athletic, witty, driven, generally easy going, fun-loving, ambitious, bold, intuitive, emotionally torn at times . Interestingly enough the sorting hat had quite a bit of trouble with this one, and she looked like she was going to be a Hufflepuff for a while. Sometimes she wishes she had been placed there as classmates having moved on and she has quite a few younger friends, including Scarlett, in Hufflepuff. But the hat obviously had it's reasons, so she's mostly content to live out her days as a Gryffindor. [/color]

History:
Helena is a 19 year old girl attending Hogwarts. Nineteen. Most her age would be out and finding their way in the wizarding world.
But no, Helena had to have a mother with political ambitions. Don't misunderstand, she thinks her mom rocks for wanting to shake up the status quo while upholding the peace and and bringing the wizarding world forward into a new era while they all hold hands and sing kumbaya or whatever. In fact I believe there's a reference to her saying such a thing almost verbatim in her school records. It just tends to disrupt her already fractured home life.
So essentially, the age thing, it's nothing to do with Helena. She's quite intelligent really. And her rebellious nature can be mostly attributed to the fact she is a young adult at a school for youth. It's simply that a few years back there was some drama in the political atmosphere. So her mother arranged for Helena and cousin Bridget to extend their trip abroad in privacy. Flash forward, she's a few years behind.
Helena is usually a pretty good student, well behaved, well rounded, etc. But she has her moments. She can take easy going and turn into reckless. And then receive an owl from home or her father and shut down emotionally. Or worse, go overboard in an attempt to feel better.
Sometimes she wonders why she allowed herself to be thrust into this situation at all. But as long as she has her friends she should be fine.
