This should give you a decent idea of her history up to the point I plan to take her. I can try to give a recap of the events of Worlds’ Finest, but other than a few scattered flashbacks it doesn’t have any bearing on when I am taking her from. I do warn you that literally nothing will make sense if you ask what happens after her canonpoint so you may end up breaking your neck from nodding too much.

Personality:
What drives Helena is the memory of everything her parents taught her. To be specific, she follows the mission her mother did while she was alive. She stays in “reality” and spends her day helping keep the little guys safe. In a world full of monsters, aliens, and mayhem Helena makes the choice every day to rescue exploited women and children. She goes around the world chasing down cases that affect the lives of the most vulnerable people. She gives them the justice they deserve by shutting down human traffickers, drug lords, rapists, and terrorists.

It is this mission that defines who Helena is. She is someone with a very specific set of morals that mirror her mother’s. She is willing to kill when it becomes clear that the law will not serve the victims. It is not her first choice by any means. She is violent and reckless at times, but always purposeful in her actions. Everything she does serves the mission. While violence may not be her first choice necessarily, but it has become a necessary evil for her. Despite that, all she wants out of life is to make things better for the powerless like her mom did while she was alive.

It may not appear that way at first glance. Helena is extremely confident individual. She always has a smile on her face, a teasing remark ready to be given. She seems to wander from place to place not unlike an alley cat. She is constantly flirting and charming her way through every situation life throws at her. She does not appear to take anything going on around her seriously.

The truth is she is always thinking and planning ahead. She always knows the way out of every prison or bad scenario. She follows the methodology her father taught her religiously. It is because of that she is an effective crime fighter able to operate all over the world without ever faltering. She is able to look at things objectively and act accordingly. You just would not guess she was driven by such a noble cause by watching her since she is likely making a quip or eating a scone in the process.

While Helena tends to be alone during her adventures as Huntress there are people she does care for. The only one left alive is Karen Starr aka Kara Zor-El aka Power Girl. She is best friend in all worlds. While she does enjoy picking on Karen for her party girl lifestyle, there is no one she loves more. For Kara, she broke her no contact rule with the Batman of Earth-Prime. (More on that in a minute.) She would literally do anything for her. It is with her the reader gets to see Helena’s soft side. She takes care of Kara with all the gentleness in the world. She will drape a cape over her if her clothing is destroyed. She will braid her hair if it’s a mess following a fight. She is very tender with her. It is easy to see how much the girls love each other while together.

The other two are Selina and Bruce Wayne of Earth-2. Helena deeply admired who Selina and Bruce were as individuals. Her love for them is endless and true. Nothing I can say could really do it justice. Every part of her comes from her parents. She uses the skills they taught her. She follows their philosophies. Their words are her gospel. The most important lessons imparted on her with this: the importance of trusting others, the value in protecting the less fortunate, to always get back up (she literally had the why we fall lesson from Dark Knight movies tweaked just enough that it wasn’t plagiarism), and how to win when the odds are stacked against you. They taught Helena not only how to survive, but to live in a way that honored the belief that people were worth saving. It is because of them she can press forward even after her world has died to do the right thing on another Earth. Her parents may be dead, but they live on in her. Her actions honor them every day.

It is because she loves them so much that she keeps her distance from the Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne living on the Earth she landed on with Kara. She tends to be critical of her father’s doppelganger especially viewing his practice of changing up (what she perceives to be) inexperienced Robins as irresponsible for example. When she does eventually meet Batman to enlist his help in saving Karen, she spends much of the time looking down on his actions, specifically his lack of faith in those around him. As a result, he never measures up to her father. Arguably none of the adult doppelgangers ever will. Only her mother’s doppelganger is ever spared her intense judgement. While it is never explained, it is likely because her mother had the most influence on who she became and quite possibly the parent she admired most.

As a note, I think her thoughts will be very different when faced with the child versions of her parents here in Teleios. Children as I mentioned before are viewed by her as a part of the vulnerable group in need of her services as Huntress. Not to mention it is easier to judge a grown up you have never met in person versus a little boy who recently lost his parents. I think she will become protective of them while struggling with keeping her feelings for her parents and this Selina and Bruce from mixing together. Oh and her Damian will probably still fight. She’s still childishly pressed there are like ten other Robins in existence. Damian is Damian. So yeah that’s a thing.

Back on point, Helena looks at the world as a big place filled with people who need her help. She will largely view Teleios the same way at first glance. This will expand as she finds out more about Teleios to likely include the other realms. She will look to aid them in whatever way she can. It is not about where she is, but who is there. Whoever is there could probably use the Huntress. There are people suffering in every world from what Helena has seen of hers and the one she landed on. Helena won’t be any more tolerate of it here than there. She will feel compelled to act albeit in her weirdly cheerful way.

While she’ll keep to her mission as best she can, that does not mean she will magically forget Kara. She will long for her best friend and probably seek out anything to remind her of Karen. I imagine she’ll go stir crazy during the winter since there will be nothing to do aside from stuff her face and miss her best friend. As far as her crimes go, no she does not view them as crimes. She will probably call the whole thing bull and argue it out with Athena when she comes around again on principle. In her eyes, she was helping. Her methods did more good than harm or else she would have never done them in the first place.

In conclusion, Helena is a stray cat who loves her treats and her distance on the job until she does not. She has an important mission that defines her life and is extremely adaptable to all situations. Her recklessness and confidence that comes with crime fighting does land her into trouble as evident from the story I am taking her from. It will be interesting to see how she fairs without Karen to bail her out when she gets in over her head.

Powers/Abilities: Helena has no powers. She was trained from a very young age by Batman and Catwoman of Earth 2 so she can do basically everything they are known to do in the mainstream. She is skilled martial artist, escape artist, detective, actress, and thief. She is especially good at stealing identities and money for her campaign to save the weak and exploited. She utilizes a crossbow as her signature weapon and has shown knowledge of how to customize weapons and body armor. She can dodge bullets as a kid and presumably as an adult? She is also a skilled at hacking and infiltrating places with insane security. While she uses a program in the story I take from, she’s shown in later issues to casually doing the hacking on her own without breaking a sweat.

There is probably more I have missed out, but just feel confident in the fact that she has Bat-writer powers going on and I will abuse this less than the people actually paid to write this stuff.

Prose Sample:
Someone tells her that beneath all the snow outside lies a city. It is combination of all different worlds and times brought together by the mysterious ‘Two’ who are in control of all of this. Half-created of this city was created by wishes, the other by a group of workers called ‘Shirtless Hunks.’ It was meant to be preparation for Utopia, a golden city no one has ever seen evidently, but was trusted to exist regardless.

It is a lot to chew on so she does herself the favor of actually tracking down some goodies to eat while she thinks it over. Perhaps it is easy to dismiss as a woman who once lived in a utopia created by her parents and the Trinity as a young girl. Even she is not immune to sentiment. If she can believe her parents went on to a better place after their deaths, a golden city up in the sky or some other poetic nonsense becomes a little harder to blow off. Helena can’t help thinking how much Karen would at least appreciate the boys constructing the place.

Her put upon smile at the thought quickly turns into a sigh once she swallows the cookie she’s eating. She can pretend that she is off on a mission for a while. She can pretend Kara is off partying and having her fun before returning to work and texting her for a return date from her latest mission. That does not make it true.

Being trained for the worst case scenario of being on your own as a kid is not the same as living the reality as an adult. She is reminded sharply that she cannot trust any of this or anyone as much as she wants to. She only has to look at the list posted to remind herself this place does have something she’s wanted since she was a teenage girl fighting in a doomed war. Two little names have made this more complicated than it has to be.

One thing her parents could never prepare her for was them. This is one thing she will have to figure out on her own. As fearless as she is, there is no ignoring the sinking her feeling in her gut at the thought. She doesn’t know what to do, but press on as always. What she is pressing on to will have to wait for either the snow to melt or an epiphany. Neither inspires comfort in Helena.
