Her face is round with a small nose and lips along with a slight bit of fat under her chin. Her skin is pale with heavy freckles covering her face and chest. She stands at 5’4 inches and weights 155lbs. She has long, skinny arms but a small amount of fat in her stomach and thighs.

Helena usually wears black or grey t-shirts with various video game or anime designs on them along with baggy shorts and a pair of scuffed up brown boots she’s had for around five years. She also owns various hoodies also adorned with anime and video game inspired designs on them but rarely wears them due to the heat.

Biography: Helena was born in Carson City, Nevada on the 16th of November 2006 to Samantha and Francis Colt. The family would move to Las Vegas just a year after Helena was born due to Francis getting a job opportunity as a surgeon at the Valley Hospital Medical Center. Due to the long hours and stressful nature of the job Helena was mostly raised by her mother Samantha who stayed at home. Helena developed a much closer bond to her mother because of this.

On Helena’s seventh birthday she was gifted her first games console, a PlayStation 4. From that point on she became hooked on video games. She would spend most of her time locked up in her room playing games like Marvels Spider-man, God of War and Uncharted 4. Her favourite kind of games were single player narrative focused games but she still tried and enjoyed most types of games. Over the next few years she would quickly amass a large collection of games and games consoles, including older ones like the PlayStation one and GameCube. Her favourite console still remains her PlayStation 4 though.

This would also directly lead into her love of anime as she found various anime games on the PlayStation Store and wanted to watch the anime’s they came from out of curiosity. She would watch them either on the family Netflix account or pirated on YouTube and quickly became hooked. Her favourite one was Naruto and she still has multiple pieces of merch from the show dotted around her room.

Her grades in school around this time were fine. Not great but not bad either. However her parents were often told by teachers they were concerned about her not making many friends or showing much interest in extracurricular activities. Helena was bullied at school a lot for her intense freckles and naturally quiet demeanour which prevented her from being able to connect to people easily. As such she decided to just stick to herself and didn’t have much of a want or desire to interact with other kids or even leave her room for anything besides school and dinner.

Because of this Samantha started forcing Helena to come out with her for walks to try and get her to open up more and get used to the outside world. She even bought Helen’s a cheap camera to take pictures of anything interesting she saw and made a game out of it, assigning Helena points based on the most interesting thing she would photograph that day. This worked very well and Helena quickly found herself enamoured with photography. She would often come back from walks and immediately head to her computer to look up various pictures and techniques to take better ones. By the time she was 12 these walks and the various pictures she would take during them had become a highlight of her week.

A few days after her 13th birthday though her mother was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. She would start treatment but the condition ultimately worsened and with the covid-19 pandemic starting during her treatment it made it near impossible to even visit hospitals or doctors. Samantha Colt would pass away on the 3rd of January 2021. Neither Helena nor Francis were allowed to be by her bedside due to covid restrictions, something that still haunts Helena to this day.

The experience of watching her mother slowly die while also dealing with the pandemic undid most of the progress Helena had made in the last few years. Even after the pandemic was over she refused to go outside for any reason. Her camera was barely used anymore, only being picked up when Helena saw something interesting outside of her window. Her father also found himself swamped with work due to the pandemic and so was hardly ever home anymore, leaving Helena to take care of herself. Her grades would slip dramatically during this time and she started skipping school a lot too as she was only showing up when she found the energy to get out of bed.

The only positive she found during this time besides her regular comforts of video games and anime was that she found herself actually enjoying cooking. She had to start making meals for herself due to her father’s absence and quickly found herself enjoying the feeling of having something new to learn and being able to create and make things herself. Helena would even spend some of her free time learning various recipes or experimenting with ingredients. Whenever her dad was home she would often be the one to cook dinner for the family.

At Red Rock though she still lacks any desire to make friends or really participate in anything. Her reputation is one of a recluse weirdo whose only interaction with other students is either people pitying her or bullying her. She has no plans on what to do when or if she graduates, consigning herself to sit in her room until the day she dies.


Advantages: Helena has above-average hand-eye coordination due to her many years of playing video games as well as decent problem solving abilities. She’s also able to cook and make various different meals and has a good knowledge of various different ingredients and food products she might be able to find. Her photography background has also given her a keener eye for details and the ability to spot hidden points of interest better than most other people.
Disadvantages: Due to her sedentary lifestyle Helena has below average physical ability. She can’t run very fast, runs out of breath easily and has no traits or skills that would help her in a physical contest. She also lacks many social skills, preferring to stick to herself and not engage with others which makes her unlikely to form any bonds or alliances. This along with her severe depression brought on by the death of her mother means she’s at a higher risk of suicidal thoughts and tendencies.
