More importantly, however, is that aside from the bed, one would easily mistake the room for an art studio. It is also usually very messy, full of still-life props, and tends to be dimly lit when she is not painting. | ||

* '''Habits''': Tends to sum a person up almost instantly, and is usually correct, for better or for worse. Sometimes Helen considers this a curse. | * '''Habits''': Tends to sum a person up almost instantly, and is usually correct, for better or for worse. Sometimes Helen considers this a curse. | ||
* '''Mannerisms''': Very easily distracted. In conversation, her eyes tend to wander. She also fidgets quite a bit and has a very difficult time standing in one place, though her energy is far from manic and actually quite low at times. That said, she rarely misses a detail and is constantly paying attention, though perhaps too much. It's difficult to conceal a brain that is moving a 1000 miles-per-minute. | * '''Mannerisms''': Very easily distracted. In conversation, her eyes tend to wander.

* '''Temperament''': When comfortable, genuinely sweet and playful, if not a little giddy. When uncomfortable, Helen tends to bite her tongue, or hide in the background, which may have the effect of making her seem snobbish or a little brusque | * '''Temperament''': When comfortable, genuinely sweet and playful, if not a little giddy. When uncomfortable, Helen tends to bite her tongue, or hide in the background, which may have the effect of making her seem snobbish or a little brusque. She is simply trying to keep from "making a fool of herself," as she believes her panics have done. Helen feels somewhat ruined as a person and is extremely self-conscious, hence the need to create a persona. And this inevitably leads to frustrations that sometimes end in outbursts of self-assertion and defensiveness. | ||
* '''Mental State''': Recovered panic disorder sufferer, but still has occasional bouts of anxiety. Has a distrust of teacher-student relationships. Actively fights against her natural romantic idealism. And she thinks she's more of a mess than she really is. | * '''Mental State''': Recovered panic disorder sufferer, but still has occasional bouts of anxiety.
