Helen Calvary

Helen is one of the more well-known students at Center Path Institute, and for a good reason. She is quite feisty, and this behavior has often awarded her the appellation of 'delinquent' or 'asshole' from her peers. Realistically, these disparaging remarks are a consequence of how her natural personality conflicts with that of those around her: Helen, as a rule of thumb, absolutely refuses to be mistreated and often responds to poor treatment aggressively and with hostility. Of course, it is inevitable that she perhaps misperceives reasonable requests from authority figures--especially teachers--as attempts to abuse or exploit her, and thus opposes them needlessly and with unwarranted vitriol.


Helen is a very well-spirited and sometimes exuberant individual, of a bright and proactive demeanor. She finds much delight in small acts of mischief and misadventure. Helen does, however, have some trouble in socialization, as she seems to occasionally struggle with identifying and properly interpreting body language or other innuendos in conversation; this unfortunately compounds upon the poor reputation that precedes her in many contexts, and so she is not a person with many friends. However, her inability to naturally detect and parse unspoken messages in the social world has expanded her capacity for befriending those who are often shunned and discarded by the more-socially-able community; that is to say, she will approach and talk to someone who society deems undesirable, because she cannot tell that they are undesirable.


As per my understanding, Helen comes from an extremely wealthy family from whom she is estranged. It isn't something that one would naturally anticipate, given that she seems to dress in the same men's overshirt every single day, but it makes sense once you realize she's somehow able to afford an entire apartment by herself in downtown Burncastle. Her financial assets are likely wired to her electronically by her family, or potentially from some form of trust fund or similar account; in passing, she may mention a 'stipend' that she receives on a biweekly basis. The amount is unknown to me, but she shows no apparent signs of financial distress.


Helen is quite tall, at around 175cm in height. Despite her lean, average build, she is quite heavy; it may be the case that she is simply strong, and is so heavy like how a strongman is heavy. Fittingly enough, she has no trouble moving heavy furniture around and could easily pick you up like a doll, like a strongman. She is very physical, and most frequently expresses her emotional state through her facial expressions and body language--concerning this, she is unaware that she does so, and will act amusingly when you point this out. Bizarrely, although it is something I have grown fond of, she has a voracious appetite for unusual things and shows no adverse effects at all from eating them: predominantly, she eats raw food without issue (she loves raw bacon), and very much enjoys subsisting on canned pasta goods, and has admitted to snacking on inedible objects such as paper.


Helen's circle of friends is limited in size, as mentioned prior. I personally believe that she enjoys spending time about Ruth, but have noticed that she seems to avoid Mallory as she feels she intimidates her. I hate to say it, but she is somewhat fond of Audrey. I don't think that's a good thing. I think she enjoys spending time with Ivy, but upon being asked, she expresses distaste for Ivy's volume--nevertheless, she will go out of her way to hang out around her when possible.


Her birthday is October 31st. She is a Halloween baby.
