character.
name: Helena Campbell
nickname(s): Helena, bambino.
pb: Stephanie Leonidas
fairy tale & character: MirrorMask / Helena Campbell.
age: Seventeen
room: A116
doctor: Demetra Jord
diagnosis: Delusional Disorder, Depersonalization disorder, Schizotypal personality disorder
personality: Helena is very much a forth right, and take charge kind of girl. She's very independant, growing up in a family where you had to look out for yourself she rarely relies on others for help. Helena also holds the stereotypical teen angst, wishing to be left alone and not bothered with responsibility, yet still complaining she has no freedom.
Never one to hold back an opinion or a biased, she tells it like it is, without acknowledging common courtesies. She has been known for being rather nosy, but that's just from her natural curiousity for the world, and everything it has to offer. Helena is very much a ‘says it how she sees it’ kinda girl in the way she has never been known to hold her tongue, which has often gotten her in trouble. She is good natured, funny and is always there to cheer her friends up when they are feeling down. She has a very caring side to her, but this is only seen by her closest of friends. Her comments in her mind aren’t meant to be amusing, yet some how people just find them funny, which in turn makes her laugh just for being able to make others happy.
Helena is very sweet and friendly with an over emotional, argumentative side that only seems to come out when she's talking about something she is very passionate about doesn't matter to whom. She's very protective of her friends and cares deeply for those she is close to, even if her relationships tend to be one sided or could be considered obsessive.
history: Helena grew up in a rather... unique family. Her father following his dreams started a travelling circus with his wife Joanna. Despite living in a world what many other children dream of, Helena was far from happy. All she truly wanted was to live in the real world. Her mother constantly reminding her that children usually run away to join a circus... Helena's retort was usually "I want to run away to join the REAL WORLD".
It was after one very serious fight during opening night in Scotland's country side did Helena's world turn upside down for the worst. After a rather nasty fight about not being ready on time, exhausted from fighting, Joanna walked away saying. "You're going to be the death of me..." In which Helena retorted with a harsh, "I wish I was..." During that night's show, Joanna collapses and is sent to the hospital. Ten days later, Helena learns from her father that Joanna has to undergo an operation. Helena blames herself.
Falling into a fit of depression, Helena dreamt up the worse for her mother, and in an act of desperation took a handful of her nan's blood pressure pills, hoping to never wake up...
Which was almost true. As her body began to shut down from the over dose, Helena fell into a coma that night. Within her mind she see's herself waking up after a strange dream, and sneaks out of the family apartment to see a masked man playing a violin. Nearby are two other masked men who are trying to juggle. Suddenly a shadow "consumes" the violin player and one of the jugglers. Helena flees from the danger with one of the other masked men, who introduces himself as Valentine.
Valentine leads Helena to the City of Light, where they see many unusual citizens leaving the city because of the Shadows that are consuming it. Helena is mistaken by the royal guards as a "Princess", and she is forcefully taken to the Palace of Light. At one point during her transportation, Helena looks into a house window and sees herself sleeping in her room, which makes her believe that she is still dreaming.
At the palace, she meets the Prime Minister, who can see that she is not the "Princess". The Prime Minister explains that there are two kingdoms: the City of Light and the Land of Shadow, both of which have their own queens. Three days prior, the Princess from the Land of Shadow arrived at the City of Light. Despite a warm welcome, the Princess stole their "charm" and fled in secret, leaving the White Queen in an unnatural sleep and the City of Light vulnerable to the Shadows. Helena decides to help them find the charm.
Recruiting a reluctant Valentine, Helena starts following clues throughout the city to find the charm, which she learns is the "MirrorMask". All the while, the pair have to elude the Shadows and other dangerous creatures. Unknown to Helena, the Dark Queen is also hunting her, thinking that she is the Princess who has run away.
At certain points, Helena looks into other windows, and instead of seeing herself asleep as she thought she would, she sees a doppelganger arguing with her father, smoking, and later making out with someone Helena disapproves of. When Helena yells through the window, the doppelganger "sees" her, prompting Helena to quickly hide.
Helena's search leads her to a small white building on the border between the City of Light and the Land of Shadow. Inside the building are hundreds of locks, one of which should reveal the MirrorMask. Before Helena can start trying the locks, she is betrayed by Valentine to the Dark Queen. Helena is hypnotized to think of herself as the Princess, and forgets her mission.
Valentine eventually has a change of heart, and secretly returns to the white building where he tries all the locks. He finds the right one, but is dismayed when its contents turn out to be a letter from the real Princess, announcing her theft of the MirrorMask. Valentine returns to the Dark Palace and apologizes to Helena, whom he helps remember who she is.
A recovered Helena and Valentine go into the Princess' room and discuss the information they have. Helena remembers that Joanna had always told her that when she's looking for something, it's very often staring at her right in the face. Helena looks at the Princess' mirror, and when she dips her face in it, the MirrorMask is revealed.
Helena and Valentine flee from the Dark Palace with the Dark Queen in pursuit. Helena now knows that the Princess has taken her place in the real world, and in order to set things right, she has to wear the MirrorMask and look at the Princess. It is also revealed the City of Light and Land of Shadows exist in Helena's drawings that are pasted on her room wall in the real world, and the Princess is methodically destroying these drawings.
Helena needs to find a window immediately, but the Princess destroys the last drawing and has apparently won. Standing on the apartment roof, the Princess throws the destroyed drawings in the air, but when she turns, the door slams shut to reveal another drawing on the door itself, and Helena waiting for her in it. Despite the Princess' protests, Helena puts the MirrorMask on.
Helena wakes up in a hospital with her family sitting around as well as all the members of the circus. After learning she was in a coma from taking her nan's medication, her mother and father both agree that perhaps it's best for Helena to stay and get help from doctors. However, the doctors in Scotland cannot help her in mental health issues, and send her to a well known hospital in New England, in the United States, known as Cheshire Crossings.
examples: (First person): [Considering Helena doesn't exactly keep a journal, it's usually just filled with drawings.... (considering the mun can't draw, here is an interpretation of the drawings)]
Once upon a time there was a little girl. This little girl was loved by her mother whom lived at the base of the a mountain. At the top of this mountain was an evil, evil witch who put a spell around the forest at the base of the mountain.
Now the little girl wasn't a very happy little girl because she lived in a special home with children that were like her, but she didn't want to live there... she wanted to live with her mother. Her mother was a marvelous, and beautiful woman who was very wise, and knowledgeable about the world.
Everyday the young girl attempted to escape from the special to find her mother, and every day the evilness of the wicked witch thwarted her plans. Each time she attempted to find her mother a little bit of memory of her mother was taken away, until finally.... one day the young girl forgot entirely about her mother and her mission to find her.
