Description: A well shaped woman just over fifty, she wears a brown tunic with grey highlights, and long brown pants that bunch up around her shoes. She is bald on top and has large brown tufts of hair around her ears. This brown eyed southerner is not easily forgotten.

Personality: She cares much about the opinion of others, both in good and in bad: when keeping in line with her opinion, she thinks highly of the other person, but when opinions clash, she can get violently argumentative. She is susceptible to being scared and is in actuality easily frightened. She likes to tell stories.

History: She was born a particularly ugly child, much to the horror of her parents. Her parents died when she was young, and she was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Helen grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Helen. She routinely visits covens of witches but complains that many are fraudulent and lack true knowledge of magic.

Motivation: A rival would like her out of the picture; and money/treasure
