Conscious of  exotic disease and the possible dangers of traveling to remote areas, Helene picked up a fair skill at first aid and general health upkeep, along with learning how to handle a rifle.<br/><br/>She was married eight months to Willard Morrow -a journalist- at the age of twenty one.  He was killed while covering events on a 'dissident skirmish', as the authorities coined it.    Helene was stunned, as she had been genuinely fond of her husband, but she surprised her family by stating that "Willard would have consider it cowardly to use his death as an excuse to retreat from life. I have decided to honor him by finishing what he began."  Within days, she was in the same region where he had died, photographing the last events of the 'skirmish'.  She had his unfinished notes on the events published, along with her photographs, under his and her names, to honor his final words.  The work earned her praise from some, while others blasted her for coldly taking advantage of the unfortunate situation.  She used the brief fame, both good and bad, to seize upon opportunities where she could put her skills to work, and has been on the go ever since.<br/><br/>Personality: She can be stubborn, disliking to admit when she is wrong.  Also a bit of a risk taker, fiery debater.  She's focused and curt when concentrating on her work. Helene though is also perceptive, sociable, and friendly, quick to adapt to new situations and cultures.<br/><br/>Appearance: A bit above average in height, average weight, good features. Dark brown hair and eyes, lightly tanned skin.  She is always properly groomed, with a sharp sense of the fashions of the day and region.  She is comfortable in both fancy and rugged wear.
