CHARACTER HISTORY/BIO
Helena is very close to her fraternal twin brother Lukas and often depends on him for many things. Born in a broken family, she grew up rebellious and hot-tempered before running away with a now ex boyfriend at the age of 16. After somehow surviving the abusive relationship for two years, she came back home but only to leave again and live her own life on the road for another few years.
All the while, she kept in touch with Lukas, their younger sister Charlie and grandmother through calls and postcards where she kept it vague and only mentioned the good things. Though with Lukas, she was more open with what she had been up to except the fact that she had also been looking for their missing mother whom they had not heard from in years since she dropped the kids off at their grandmother’s house one night.
When Lukas started wrestling, she finally returned to Vegas to see him and the family. Another reason: her search for their mother actually led her here. But she dropped the search temporarily when their father found them (Lukas first, from whom he had been taking money for a while before she came back). The family drama escalated when their father caused them trouble with his issues fuelled by alcohol and greed, eventually leading them to lose their home. By this time, Lukas had stopped turning up for wrestling training and scrapped all plans for his comeback. Thankfully, their father was later arrested and thrown into prison but the family were still forced to live on the streets for a while. Because their grandmother was unable to work due to age and sickness, Lukas stepped up to take charge of the family and together with Helena, they got jobs that barely supported all their needs. Sacrifices were made and soon enough in late 2017, the family finally regained a new home and things slowly began to get better.
Lukas later decided to return to wrestling again and all his talk about the industry over the years had piqued Helena’s interest, leading her to also take up the sport. He taught her all he could before they discussed a possible tag team venture. With her brother by her side, Helena could sense a new and better beginning for her and her family. At the same time, it renewed the hope inside her to pick up where she left off in her search for their still missing mother. And she still hadn’t told anybody about it. They joined HKW and Helena went to start off small and hone her skills first in their developmental brand while Lukas signed up to be part of their Underground brand. After the developmental brand closed months later, Helena joined Lukas on the main roster. They explored both tag team and singles competitions and even participated in the Cult Classic 2018 separately. Their time in HKW gave them the experience they needed to grow as individuals, especially for Helena who started to rely less and less on her brother. This shows not only inside the ring but outside of it too.
Towards the end of their HKW stint, Helena received a tip that her mother was somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Without telling her family, she tried to scrounge up money for a private investigator to locate her mother. But the PI turned out to be a conman and was never heard from again. She didn’t tell Lukas or the others because she didn’t want to disappoint them. But she was desperate. And that’s when she came across North Pacific Pro, a wrestling company based in Seattle. Instead of telling Lukas the truth, she persuaded him to lace up his wrestling boots again for another Modern Myths venture. Helena told Lukas about North Pacific Pro and showed some match clips to convince him. Thinking about Oma, Lukas wasn’t too sure though he was interested and said no. But unbeknownst to him, Helena had a secret agenda so instead of waiting around for him to change his mind, she contacted the North Pacific Pro office herself and sent her own match videos with her application. Soon enough, Helena got a callback and a new contract.
But something else clicked inside her head as she decided that she needed more than just a wrestling contract. She needed to grab attention. If she can’t find her mother, let her mother find her. She just needed to make a lot of noise, so much so that it’s impossible to ignore her. And the best way to do that is to be much more serious in wrestling and get someone to groom her. Someone who not only has tasted success in the business, but is also revered by fans and peers alike. So for the past 9 months or so, she had been secretly training under one of the greats in the business. Not even Lukas knew this as he himself had been very occupied with work and taking care of Oma and Charlie.
To Helena, returning to wrestling would be great but finding their long lost mother is top priority. Because she has come this far in her search, a tiny part of her can’t help but be doubtful of this latest development so even though she is excited, she has to stay realistic and expect the worst, just in case. So for that, she doesn’t wish to tell Lukas about this yet because if this doesn’t go as planned, it would crush him. All her life, he has been protecting her but this time, she will be the one protecting him.
