Helen

Helen is Claymore #22 in Clare's Time and is often hot tempered and aggressive. Her mouthy and sometimes insensitive nature means that she can appear to be something of a bully. She seems to have a large appetite for a Claymore and can often be seen eating an apple. She is also the only Claymore seen eating and drinking for pleasure.

Employment as a Claymore
Helen is Deneve's constant companion. Deneve commented that she is "always the troublemaker." However, Helen is honest and cares fiercely for her friends. She also refers to Miria as a big sister. Her special power is to stretch her arms to extreme lengths to attack at range or bind her opponents. Helen is partially Awakened, but has reverted to her human state. She was first introduced as a team member for Clare's first hunt for an awakened being. When they first met, Helen immediately disliked Clare for her low rank and weak power. But Helen later grew to admire Clare's fighting performance and determination and considers her a friend.

Northern Campaign
Helen is one of the 24 Claymore chosen to fight in the Northern Campaign. She is put into Veronica's team and at first is a little hurt that Miria hadn't selected her to be in her team. However, Miria later reveals it was part of her plan. During the fight with Rigardo, Helen began to awaken. She told Clare that she should be the one to kill her. Instead, Clare helps Helen return to normal. Helen is one of the seven surviving Claymore.

After Seven Year Time-Skip
Seven years after the Northern Campaign Helen is no longer a member of The Organization. She is hiding in the mountains with Clare, Miria, Deneve, Cynthia, Tabitha and Yuma. She and the others perfected their control over their Yoki, allowing them to stay hidden. Helen has managed to master Jean's special technique "Drill Sword". After having helped defeat Agatha she decided to return to her hometown with Deneve while Clare goes West.

While on her journey, Helen comes across some Claymore fighting and losing to an Awakened Being. She and Deneve stop to watch the battle until only one of the four Claymore is left standing. She asks Deneve if she wants to help them, to which Deneve says no as Miria told them to avoid trouble as much as possible. Helen then says that they should continue their journey, only to jump down off the cliff and slice off on of the Awakened Being's arms. Deneve soon joins her, cutting off another arm. Helen then tries to knock the remaining Claymore out with a punch, but the Claymore dodges. The Awakened Being attacks Helen, but she is pulled out of the way by the other Claymore, who introduces herself as #8 Dietrich. Helen lies and tells her that they are secret warriors of the Organisation. Helen, Deneve and Dietrich then pull the three unconscious Claymore to safety, before turning their attention back to the Awakened Being. Helen uses her Drill Sword technique on the creature after Deneve blinded it, but missed its brains, instead destroying part of its face. It is then finished off by Dietrich, who slices it in two.

Having defeated the Awakened Being she and Deneve continue on their journey south but are followed by Dietrich. They eventually agree to let Dietrich travel with them due to the fact that she knows the south and that she had deduced they were survivors of the Northern Campaign. Despite this they ignore Dietrich's warnings of demons that live and the south and carry on their journey. When they reach the next town Helen convinces Deneve to enter the town with her to catch a glimpse of Isley, who they believe to be the demon Dietrich was talking about. Despite hiding their Yoki Isley realises they are Claymores and cuts straight through Deneve's right side, leaving Helen in total shock and horror. Helen stands to fight Isley while using her ability to stretch her arms and cuts off Isley's leg. But she feels she can't win. Deneve saves Helen when Isley was about attack. Helen releases her yoki for the first time in seven years. However, right afterward the 11 Abyss Feeders come to the town, and Helen attempts to attack one of them but loses her right arm and left eye in the process. She is quickly thrown away from the fight by Deneve before she can come to further harm and manages to reattach her arm, but has trouble regenerating her left eye. Dietrich then comes along and saves her and Deneve, and the three of them manage to escape out of town. The current status of her left eye is unknown.

Having discovered she is no match for Isley or the Abyssal Feeders, even when they are injured, she agrees to Deneve's plan to head west to meet up with Clare's group so that Cynthia can heal Helen's eye.
