Helena is an exceptional woman; really, she is, right down to her core. Negating the fact that she's fiercely independent and highly intelligent (in terms of both science and being able to read people like a book), she's also uniquely kind and devoted to the remaining members of her family (ie: Phillip, at the end of things, and Evangeline while she lasted). When Phillip returned from the war, it had been around four or five years since the two had sen each other. She'd been just a little girl. A child. In the span of four or five years, she'd grown into a young woman nearly all by herself. Grace sure as hell wasn't an aiding factor in that. In that time spent apart, Helena lost her father, her brother, her mother (in certain terms) and, up until the day he stepped through the Palace gates, what she'd thought to be her remaining sibling--and, in a sense, she did. Phillip was not the teenager he'd been when he left. Not even close. Helena was a huge role in his recovery. Huge. I cannot even begin to make it clear just how much she helped him ease back into normality. She sat with him. She listened. She cared for him. She gave him drinks to help him sleep without nightmares. She did everything in her power and more to help him, and, really, it made all the difference. If there is one person in the world whom Phillip can trust--and I mean really, really, trust, more so than any Royal can hope to be able to do in Court--, it's Helena. It's always been Helena. It always will be Helena, even after Aurora. The two are loyal to each other, above all else.Â
