Biography: Helena Van Garret is the daughter of prominent businessman, and though her mother is a housewife her father brings in enough money to support their high lifestyles of fast cars, and expensive fashion. To say she’s ever done anything in her life would be a complete and upright lie, she’s always finding a way to get out of work. She uses her spoiled nature and knowledge that she is lusted after to her advantage, many of boys at BCH has given up his homework for a chance (no matter how little) to be with Helena.
When those she uses loses their usefulness, she dumps them on the curb and pretends to have never know them. Like the majority of her friends, Helena looks down on those not up to her social standards. Those up to her standards however are treated very, very nicely.
Helena is an only child, and is thus spoiled by her parents since her birth. She is very dependent on them for everything, and doesn’t have a plan after high school other than to take a year off for some ‘relaxation’ on some far away island.
Other: Being on her own, she’ll have a hard time adjusting that there’s no one there to help her. Though she hopes her looks and acts of kindness will win over some of the more… simple-minded students in the group.

Designated Weapon: Hacksaw
Conclusions: If G06 doesn't find any allies, she's as good as dead. Her looks will keep male viewers hooked on the show, especially if she does something edgey (heh, heh...). Thanks to her looks, though, she'll probably be able to allure a lot of boys into doing whatever she wants them to do, such as protecting her and the like.

Mid-game evaluation: Helena never quite seemed to grasp the concept of SOTF. Her story began at the makeshift hospital, where she actually took the time to shower in the nearby creek and fix her hair after awakening. After taking a moment to identify her weapon, Helena stumbled upon the makeshift hospital. Through the window, she could see the bright red hair of one of her fellow students. Not thinking twice about it, Helena wandered down to the clinic, calling to whoever was inside.
That person just happened to be Hawley Faust, a student Helena had picked on through the duration of high school. Without so much as a second thought, Hawley pointed the shotgun out the window and fired, narrowly missing Helena. When the first shot didn't hit her, Helena found herself in a world of trouble as Hawley stepped out from the clinic, firing off another round toward her. This time, it hit her directly in the stomach, sending her falling to the ground in a fetal position holding the gaping wound.
Helena attempted to retaliate against her attacker with the hacksaw, but only succeeded in causing him a small injury before attempting to run away. However, it was too little, too late. Faust fired off another shot, effectively taking out her leg. The next shot was to Helena's forehead, and in a gorey display of blood, bone, and brain matter, Helena became the first of many to die in this game of survival.
End-game evaluation: She served a purpose, at least. She was Mr. Faust's first kill and sent him on his way to becoming a full-fledged murderer. Maybe there's a life lesson to learn from all of this? Like... don't bully other kids... or... don't be stupid enough to try and get the kids you used to bully to protect you.
