Background:
Helena is the daughter of Fame Douglas, the murdered world leader and promoter of the first "Dead or Alive world tournament" and a world class soprano opera singer. Seemingly distant from her father and his work, she knew some of his dirty secrets, including the ill-fated Epsilon project. When he was murdered, she was hardly affected.

Helena followed in her mother's footsteps, becoming a famous singer in her own right. While performing, she was targeted by an unknown assassin using a sniper rifle. Her mother, who was present with her, spotted the rifle at the last second, and dove in front of her daughter. She was killed instantly. The assassin fled, leaving Helena alone and covered in her mother's blood.

Helena set out for vengeance. Using her father's contacts and working with his old associate, Gen-Fu, she soon discovered that the murder was connected with the second Dead or Alive World Tournament. Helena entered the tournament to discover the truth.

Personality/Motivation:
Helena is outwardly cold and unconcerned with other people. She brushes off everyone else as not mattering to her, even other fighters in the tournament. She is rather overconfident, doubting others abilities and making sport of her fights. Above all else, she is obsessed with her revenge against her mother's killer. She is very patient with her search, yet totally unrelenting.

Quote: "You're not my concern."
"Did you think you could defeat me?"
"Only victory can bring me the truth."

Tactics/Powers:
Helena is a master of the Chinese martial art of Pakua. She seemingly ignored most of the philosophical aspects of the art, concentrating instead on the almost dance-like attack motions. In combat, she will attack straight out, bearing down the opponent with her throws and legsweeps, or stunning them with a powerful palm strike. She can deliver a devastatingly fast barrage of palm strikes if needed, and will often do such against a stunned opponent.

Appearance:
Helena is a very beautiful young woman, with long, luxurious blond hair and grey-blue eyes. She always dresses in expensive outfits, even when fighting; her favorite is an ornate long-tailed red coat with an open chest over simple white tights, along with white gloves and red shoes.
