HELENA CAREW (24) Lily Collins - TAKEN BY ANNIE Status: Djinn Occupation: Gentlemanâs daughter Relationship(s): Lilias Harcourt (mother), Elizabeth Carew (sister), Charles Carew, Samuel Carew (brothers), Cassandra Fletcher, Sophia Fletcher (childhood friends/enemies), Diana Sinclair, Isabella Sinclair, Emily Turner (best friends), Luke Chambers (flirtation), Miles Barrington (former fiancĂ©), Christopher Bolt (interest)
from amongst her family, helena has always declared that it is with SAMUEL that she has the most in common
impetuous with a particular devotion to the art of excitement, helena has always been most ardently in love with fun and enjoys a thrill
this penchant tied most particularly with her wild affection for shocking others has left her in narrow avoidance of a scandalous reputation
and helena, for one, would not have it another way - at least - not anymore
she was once rather enamored of an altogether different type of life and imagined herself giving it all upâŠto marry a hunter
helena was quite set on marrying MILES BARRINGTON and was, in fact, secretly engaged to him
she had determined to run away and leave everything behind, knowing well and good her mother could not forgive her for loving a hunterâŠ
until an altogether group of hunters came for her motherâs head
with her mother gravely injured, helena realized at once that she could not possibly abandon her family or join a hunter in his
without an explanation, helena broke off her secret betrothal to miles and went abroad with her mother to help her settle into her convalescence
she has only just returnedâŠonly to find that, in her absence, her older sister has died
helena has settled into her role of teasing and rolling her eyes, pretending nothing is wrong, but she feels everything more keenly than she lets on
though she never understood why her siblings were always trying to constrain her and her mother was so fixated on wealth and titles
the consideration that her love of attention, flirtation, and a good time cause some to shun her, this consideration has never once tempered her
she doesnât ever mean to let that change
still, she does wish sheâd done some things differently
helena regrets bitterly how she used to always tease ELIZABETH about being the only human, now that things have turned out the way they have
she wishes, in fact, that she could fix the whole situation for her but, alas, death is one thing even a djinn cannot changeâŠ
though she can give her a different illusion from time-to-time, should she wish it, something she encourages elizabeth to try
as a result, helena is focusing on helping her sister enjoy the new things she can do as a ghost, rather than dwell on the old things she cannot
she enjoys spending her time with CHRISTOPHER BOLT, teasing and flirting
and she has no intention of settling down after how things went with miles
but she canât help how jealous she feels every single time he so much as looks at another young womanâŠ
and wonât allow herself to admit that perhaps that, in and of itself, means something, tooâŠ
or that maybe, just maybe, she needs to resolve things with miles, once and for allâŠ
