of Fame Douglas and a world class soprano singer who is an expert in Pi
Qua Quan. While performing at the opera house, a shot was fired at her,
but killed her mother instead. While trying to find the culprit, she learned
that the murder of her mother is somehow related to the "Dead or alive
World Combat Championship." She later found out that Ayane
was the murderer. She now aspires to defeat her.

When DOA2
first came out, I was hoping to be wowed by the new characters. Another
"pretty blonde"...? Don't we have enough already? To me, she seemed to be marketed primarily as
yet
another DOA blonde with big boobs. On the bright side, she has evolved fairly well over
the years, acquiring some decent new moves. Helena's moveset appears to take quite a bit of inspiration from Ling
Xiaoyu of Tekken... the most basic comparison being Helena's Bokuho
stance and Ling's Phoenix stance. Helena isn't a total copycat, however, but I'd
say that Helena looks slightly less natural than Ling does. Some of Helena's attacks lack impact and "oomph,"
aren't believable, and her overall style is perhaps too
"bird-like". Besides her ridiculous amount of arm-flapping, Helena has some cool kicks and throws.
Visually, her default outfits are... "pretty"... but lack flash, excitement,
or coolness. Helena's face also seems to have ZERO expression, most of the time.
She's plain. And no, her silly Sephiroth
/ Aeris bangs don't magically make her cool either. Overall, Helena still seems
weirdly redundant in DOA and forced as a design.
