I do live truthfully, it's just under imaginary circumstances.

+A childhood: Helena grew up as an only child in a very poor family, only having her father around since her mother had passed away while giving birth to her. Her father was nice at first, but once Helena started to grow up a little he became harsher on her since he really had no success in making a living in any job he attempted to get. He had a short patience and would constantly punish his daughter for no reason. She tried her best to cope as the years went by, but eventually it just became too much. And she hated living in such a life of poverty.

So, at 17, she ran off in the middle of the night, with one goal in mind: marry someone of the royal family. Yes, a high ambition, but certainly it would work. Despite coming from such a terrible family, she had true beauty, so she believed she had a chance. She first tried the first brother, only a couple years older than she was, but he showed no interest, unfortunately. And his twin brother was said to have been killed about a week later due to a fight with the youngest, Fendrel. Helena had seen him around the castle and now he had been outcasted? A perfect oppertunity.

She wandered about the city during the winter, waiting for the right chance to run into him, and soon she found him. She pretended to be a helpless little girl and soon the two paired up to take on the world. Just as she planned. They grew close and she pretended to swoon for him whenever he did something nice, played the innocent, helpless girl that soon fell in love and then accepted his proposal. It was then he came out with the truth, that he was a Serpient, and she played surprised and shocked at first, but then, with her own mind tricks, gave him the idea of taking the throne since it 'rightfully' belonged to him. When really she just wanted the power.

With the deed done, Helena relished in the power of being queen and all the riches it brought her. She always decorates herself in gems and clothing made of expensive fabrics.
+How I act around others: Helena cares only about herself and her own well-being and couldn't care less about anyone else, even her 'husband'. She cares about her own happiness and her own well-being, even if that means she has to step on a few toes. She's sly and tricky, able to put on a facade that could trick anyone to make them think she's something that she isn't. But her true nature will always be malicious and narcissistic.
+What I do with my life: Queen of Alquer
+I do enjoy things:
-Tricking/deceiving people
-Being rich
-Living easy
-Rubies (her favorite gem)
-Night time
-Dim lights
+I also hate some things:
-The sun
-Thunder
-People that complain
+Oh, I almost forgot: She is sensetive to bright lights and usually can't go outside a lot unless the clouds are covering the sun, otherwise her eyes hurt from the light.
