She is quite intelligent and knowledgeable. She is also a very loyal and protective young woman, one that is determined to get what she wants and help those around her. She also has a sharp tongue and blunt nature that hides just how naive she truly is. Although Helena is one of the wishy-washy girls that you will run into, being kind to those that are worthy of it and very rude to those that don’t, she takes everything with a grain of salt. She’s slightly cautious of those that she befriends, mostly because she doesn’t want to get hurt. She’s quite naïve, but she’s also headstrong, something that can be seen in her healthy lifestyle. She’s a pacifist, thus, resulting in her being both vegan and a vegetarian.

She can be quite aggressive when she wants something and is denied her way, usually forcing her way to be used. She is determined and a very unpredictable, but she still holds a sweet side within her. She can be quite compassionate towards those she calls family and friend, especially Irina.

history:
Elena and Viktor had been surprised when their third child had appeared, but when Elena learned that she was pregnant with a fourth child, she was star struck. The two hadn’t planned on adding another child to the mix, not with just having Ana not long before. With only a year apart for the two girls, their life was ready to get hectic. When Helena was born, they were ecstatic with a sleepy and quiet baby, one that likely would have been the easiest out of all the children, at least, until she started crying non-stop and they learned she was considered a “colic baby.” Not even magic could silence her cries for an extended period of times, and they had to learn to adjust.
As a young child, her life revolved around being a child of two professional Quidditch players; her entire childhood was filled with watching games, growing up in the pitches. Because of her lifestyle, and she needs to be impressive like her siblings before her (especially Ana who was a single year older than she was) she attempted to get into the sport at a young age to make her parents proud. At least, that was until they discovered her phobia of heights that sent her falling to the ground because she blacked out. After that fateful day at the age of seven, she never dared set foot near a broom again, nor did she attempt to ride one. A single year later, the family of six moved to London due to their mother’s opportunity to work for the Ministry, something she took quickly.
While Ana threw a fit about moving to Thirsk, England, and her other siblings seemed not to voice their opinions around her—she was giddy. She was excited for the fresh start and a new adventure that awaited in the foreign land of her birth. She was ready, she was excited—and she was prepared for a new world of opportunities to open up before her. After each of her siblings went off to Hogwarts, Helena waited for the day her letter would come in the mail, and when Ana finally got her own, she knew that exactly a year later she would be following in the footsteps of the family before her. Sure, her father had gone to a different school, but she had heard about his time there because of the Tournament and his adventures.
The youngest Krum spent most of her time at home, studying different things from an arrange of books and preparing herself for the world ahead. It was during this time that she found herself fascinated with the art of singing, and not just the kind where you are in the shower doing your own thing—she realized she had a voice. She had taken up piano lessons when she was only nine-years-old, something she wanted to do for a long time, and it was through these lessons that she learned her voice and her knack for music. Not only was she magical, but her voice was like a siren’s song, or so she liked to believe.
By the time her letter came in the mail, she was sad to say goodbye to her piano teacher. It was no big surprise when she arrived at Hogwarts that she was sorted into Hufflepuff, the second sibling to be sorted into the said house while her older siblings were in Gryffindor. Even though the Krum family had been raised as a close-knit relationship, different houses didn’t separate any of them—they still spent time together, and she kept her somewhat closer relationship with Irina in tack.
In her second year, friends attempted to talk her into joining Qudditch due to her parentage being professionals, but she refused. Her fear of heights and what could happen again, was all too quick to resurface itself, especially during Flying class. Her time at Hogwarts was peaceful and fun, at least, until the darkness began to surface within its very halls. It all started after the strange death of the Minister of Magic, it all started with muggleborns being found dead within the schools very ground. While this was only the beginning, Helena was somewhat too naïve to understand the reason for the darkness that was taking over the world, all for a little bit of tainted blood.
The murders were just the beginning, kidnappings were to follow, and the name of the group was revealed, ‘The Purifiers’ and a rival group of ‘Phoenix Rising’ was born. It didn’t take long before the leader of the horrid purist group was revealed to be none other than a student, a person of their own little family at Hogwarts. What had turned her, so evil was something that Helena always wondered, what made her think that she was better because of a title of her blood?
As the school year of 2023-2024 rolled around, it was announced that the Tri-Wizard Tournament would be held at Hogwarts. She had heard the stories of her father being the Durmstrang champion, and it made her giddy with excitement. Who would be chosen this time around? Who would represent Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang? She was excited to see it all unravel, even if she had heard that it was a deadly competition that almost claimed her father’s life and the rest of the people. The story of that Tri-Wizard Tournament would go down in history for the fact that the infamous Harry Potter was a part of it. It was a lovely term with different students from all over, and Helena had enjoyed meeting many of them at least until they all were pronounced dead due to a bombing on their departing carriages and ships. So many lives lost, and for what? What did anyone gain from the lives of so many murdered?
School ended early that year because of the deaths, and Helena was happy to be home. A part of her was scared to return for her sixth year, but knowing that her sister Ana would be there with her made her less scared. She knew that being around family, even if it were for one more year, would make her stronger. Each day of the summer, she was distracted from the death and the darkness, but there was always a part of her that prayed each night that it would end and the school year would go without anything terrible happening. Of course, that pray was ignored when Ilvermorny was attacked, and the students from there were given the option to attend Hogwarts. Helena was excited for some new faces, just like she was the year before, but she worried that there was a hidden agenda.
Entering her sixth year, her excitement grew, and she was prepared to meet so many new people that would not only be in her year but also her house. And as time went on, she did just that. Now with Christmas break just starting, she’s preparing herself for the final stretch of the term and the examinations that come with it.
site events reaction:
So much had happened during Helena's time at Hogwarts, starting with the kidnappings on the train as well as the murders of muggleborns. While she wasn't directly impacted by these kidnappings and murders, she felt the grief that many people of Hogwarts felt within the community. The disappearance of Harry Potter was felt by everyone, and since their family was close to the Weasley and Potter clan, she felt bad for them all. The attack at King Cross Station was another horrible attack, and she was lucky to not have gotten caught in the crossfire of the bombing. When the Triwizard Tournament happened, she befriended many students from the other school, many of whom didn't make it when their carriage and ship, respectively, was blown up. Now, the one thing that has truly affected her is the Ilvermorny attack that brought the students from there over, having to deal with more new people within the already growing Hogwarts dorm rooms, it's been a bit of a challenge for her, especially because there are many new faces within her classes and dorm.
