She's not too happy that Harry's engaged to Bella.

Back to 16. Being totally alone. Helena's not a loner, she just likes moping when she's upset. Kinda like me.
23. Whom does this character most wish to please? Why?
Helena doesn't really live to please anyone.
24. Describe this character’s mother.
Gabi...Gen G heiress. Paranoid over prophecy about her children before they were born. A helicopter mom if ever I saw one. Pushy. All because of the prophecy.

Almeric...Gen G spouse. Far more mellow than Gabi. Has intense hatred for Seb. Yeah, that should be fun.
26. If s/he had to choose, with whom would this character prefer to live?
Seb.
27. Where does this character fall in birth order? What effect does this have?
Helena is the youngest of three. Babied as a child, resulting in her limited trust of people. She's not a loner, but she won't hang with anyone but her family. She's the frail baby sister, essentially.
28. Describe this character’s siblings or other close relatives.
Helena is very close to her older siblings Harry and Mimi. Harry is the responsible elder brother, a sweet and innocent Family Sim. Mimi is Helena's confidant, with her thru thick and thin, a fun-loving, dumb blonde Pleasure Sim who often garners disapproval from their mother.
29. Describe this character’s bedroom. Include three cherished items.
Helena's special room is not her bedroom, but rather either the secret treehouse or Dolores's old study which Helena adopted. Three of Helena's most cherished items would be her karaoke machine, her engagement ring, and something else.
30. What is this character’s birth date? How does this character manifest traits of his/her astrological sign?
If I remember correctly, Helena was born in Fall, season of learning, and she is a Knowledge Sim so yeah. Helena is a Leo, and OCD neat and extremely outgoing. She's also lazy, serious, and mean. So she will slouch seriously as she stomps off finger-gunning to clean the sink. My, what a little freak we have here.
31. If this character had to live in seclusion for six months, what six items would s/he bring?
Phone to stay in contact, mp3 player, karaoke machine, pictures of her family, some sort of webcam/video phone type thing, and a bookcase filled with skilling books.
32. Why is this character angry?
At the moment? She's afraid for Harry's future with Bella, and mad at Bella because she walks all over him.
33. What calms this character?
Seb, Mimi, or Harry. Influence of the ones she loves.

At the moment Helena has no predicament.
36. List the circumstances over which this character has no control.
Harry and Bella, heirship.

Mimi blaring music or doing something ridiculous. ^_^ Which is why everyone is required by law to love Mimi.

40. Who depends on this character? Why?
Seb. Because he luuuuurves her. :D
41. If this character knew s/he had exactly one month to live, what would s/he do?

Over-emotional. Needs love. Frail.
43. What is this character’s most noticeable physical attribute?
I dunno...her eyes? She's got a nice smile.
44. What is this character hiding from him/herself?
Her fragility. She wants to be strong.
45. Write one additional thing about your character.
Helena wishes to be strong, but is truly nothing without her loved ones. Happily, they're eager to support her.
That was awesome and took the better part of an hour. Yay!
