Biography
Helina has been Liliana's personal maid and bodyguard since childhood.

After the Heiligh Kingdom was invaded by demons, Liliana decided to go to the Hoelscher Empire in order to secure their aid, and was accompanied by Helina and several of her servants and guards. Helina and the other maids her helping Liliana prepare for her engagement party with Prince Baius D. Hoelscher as a sign of unity between the two nations. It was then that Baius barged in Liliana's room and demanded that her servants leave so that he could be alone with her. Liliana decided to comply with Baius' demand and ordered Helina and the others to leave. Helina objected to Liliana's request, but reluctantly obeyed her order. Helina's concerns were soon proven true, as Baius attempted to rape Liliana, but was stopped by the intervention of Hajime Nagumo Arachnee golems. Soon afterwards, the engagement party was interrupted when the Haulia Tribe invaded the palace and killed many of the guests, as well as Baius, until they managed to convince Emperor Gahard to accept their terms of ending beatmen slavery in the empire.

The morning after the party, Helina noticed how Lilana was lost in her thoughts. She suspected that it was due to Liliana having fallen in love with Hajime for all that he did for her. She encouraged Lilana to go after Hajime and make him reciprocate her feelings, especially since there were already several women that will in love with him as well. Helina then gave Liliana advice on how to get his attention, and also provided her with a uniform from Hajime's old school in order to help her. Liliana's efforts to impress Hajime through Helina's guidance, however, were unsuccessful.

Helina and the other servants accompanied Liliana as she was headed to the beastman nation Verbergen on Hajime's flying vehicle "Fernir", to which she continued to encourage Liliana to get Hajime to fall in love with her, but to no avail. After Liliana managed to establish better relations with the beastmen, she, Helina, and the rest of her entourage were forcibly sent back to the kingdom by Hajime through a portal.

When the self-styled god of Tortus Ehit was preparing to wipe out all life in existence, Helina had accompanied Liliana when the nations of the world were working together in order to fight back. The night before the battle against Ehit, Helina approached Hajime in an effort to have him accept Liliana as a part of his harem and have sex with her in order to improve the kingdom's standing with the rest of Tortus due to a member of the royal being in a relationship with the man that would save humanity, as well as improving Helina's own well-being.

After Hajime and the rest of his classmates defeated Ehit's forces and returned to Earth, he had Helina compile a list of potential candidates for his Fleur Knights combat maids. Over the course of five years, they had been recruiting the members for his combat maids in secret from even his family, and had trained them intensively with the aid of the Haulia Tribe.

When Liliana was targeted by various foreign government black ops units due to how popular she and her new aid network was becoming, Hajime ordered Helina (now known as "Heliotrope") to neutralize the agents that were spying on Liliana near the studio of Hajime's mother Sumire. Heliotrope successfully subdued the agents and ordered her subordinate Primula to escort the subordinates of "Returnee Response Division" agent Koutaro Fukube to them. While Koutaro was explaining the situation to Hajime and the others, Heliotrope and her fellow combat maid Salvia were tasked with assisting Sumire with her job as a shoujo mangaka.

When Koutaro put up an offer to temporarily relocate the Nagumo family to a government-owned safe house in the woods until the matter was settled, Heliotrope requested Hajime to let the Fleur Knights handle the situation and eliminate the foreign agents who was infiltrating the perimeter around the Nagumo family's safe house. She and the other maids succeeded in their task, and then proceeded to abduct the leaders of the nations that initially sent in their agents so that Hajime could discuss the situation with them on his terms. Heliotrope later became Liliana's secretary for her aid network, while using the alias "Sandra Winchester".
