Helena
Helena is a powerful half-draconian and legitimate descendant of Bunhelier who seeks to reclaim the lordship of her people. Her attempt to gain greater power in the Chaos Mountains brings her into conflict with Grid and Braham, ending in her death. (Chapters 1234–1235, 1238, 1240, and 1243–1246)
Biography
Role in Yangbans, Gods, and New Legends
Helena is treated as a standard of strength among the half-draconians: even Heltavon calls himself a child compared with her, and Jad identifies himself as her servant. She comes to the Chaos Mountains intending to acquire the strongest power, retake the position of lord, and ultimately defeat the grandmaster. Those ambitions make cooperation secondary to proving her own superiority. (Chapters 1234–1235, 1238, and 1240)
Her pursuit brings her against Grid's party. Helena resists long enough to require the combined contribution of Grid and his knights, but Braham's high-level Disintegrate spell falls toward her during the battle. Grid completes the raid and receives experience and a heart bearing Bunhelier's protection. Later, Bunsdel judges that Helena's pride drove her outside the protection arranged for their blood relatives and made her short life inevitable. (Chapters 1243–1246 and 1487)
Appearance and personality
The supplied scenes do not give Helena a detailed physical description. Her descent from Bunhelier and position among the half-draconians define her more clearly than clothing or facial features. She is proud, ambitious, and convinced of her own strength. Bunsdel describes her as holding her nose too high and failing to understand her limits, a judgment consistent with her decision to seek power beyond her people's protection. (Chapters 1238, 1240, and 1487)
Abilities, classes, and skills
Helena possesses the exceptional physical status associated with Bunhelier's half-draconian descendants and is markedly stronger than Heltavon. The difficulty and rewards of her raid show a very high level, while the heart left after her defeat retains Bunhelier's protection. Her demonstrated limitation is judgment rather than a named mechanical weakness: she challenges enemies and dangers beyond what her inherited strength can safely overcome. (Chapters 1234–1235, 1244–1245, and 1487)
