Character Chart!
 Just to say we're sorry NAME: Helena Catherine Campbell NICKNAME(s): Helena, Bambino NAME ORIGIN: HELENA Latinate form of HELEN, which is the English form of the Greek ‘Ελενη (Helene), probably from Greek ‘ελενη (helene) "torch" or "corposant", or possibly related to σεληνη (selene) "moon". CATHERINE French form of KATHERINE, which is from the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name ‘Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from ‘εκατερος (hekateros) "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". In the early Christian era it became associated with Greek καθαρος (katharos) "pure", and the Latin spelling was changed from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this. BIRTHDAY: February 14th. AGE: Seventeen. HANDWRITING: HERE. MANNER OF SPEECH: Helena's voice holds a thick English accent, it's rather defiant in ways. When getting upset, Helena's voice gets a bit shrill, and clipped. When upset a lot of self doubt wraps up in her words. Or how old we'd go HEIGHT: 5' 2" WEIGHT: 123 lbs. BUILD: Slender, an acrobats build. EYES: Hazel. HAIRS: Brown DRESS STYLE: Eh, nothing too fashionable. Helena is happy in a pair of jeans and a zip up hoodie. POSSESSIONS: A really useful book, the pages all torn out, and just the front cover and back cover remain. A set of glowing juggling balls. A charcoal set. inside an empty cigar box. It's not your fault HOME: Mobile, Vagabond. Birthplace: London, England. PARENTS: Joanne Campbell (Mother), Morris Campbell (father) SIBLINGS: N/A FINANCIAL STATUS: Nothing to brag about. HISTORY: Helena grew up in a rather... unique family. Her father following his dreams started a travelling circus with his wife Joanne. 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, Joanne 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, Joanne collapses and is sent to the hospital. Ten days later, Helena learns from her father that Joanne 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.
