Personality: She is a Carpenter first and foremost. She believes firmly that knowledge should be universal. She is harsh and unforgiving.

History: Her history is one of pain. She was disowned by both parents and raised among the slaves her parents kept. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there. Helja took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up glaive and armor she uses now. She now owns her own business.
