Helen Hamilton is an anti-heroine and the main protagonist of the Starcrossed trilogy.

Personality

In the first book, Helen is described as a nice, shy and awkward girl who is oblivious men that are attacted to her She is also smart, considering that she's competing for valedictorian.

In the second book, she toughens up, clearly because of her determination to help/free the Furies, the obstacles that stand in her way to reach the Furies, and her unpleasant experiences in the Underworld (where she must "descend" to help them).

In the third book, Helen is no longer completely the person she used to be in the past, as she has become more confident, brave, and intrepid. In spite of her new qualities, however, a dangerous trait crept into her personality: if anyone ever angers her, she can lose her temper -- sometimes to the point where she accidentally injures those whom she deeply cares for. She is more than willing to sacrifice for her friends.

Physical Appearance

Helen has blond hair and eys that change to diffent  sade of brown in what she's feeling eyessome trime its warm amber and othertime sits a deep burgundy color and high cheek bones . In the second book, she receives a blue scar on her right eye, in the shape of a lightning bolt. She's also described as 'the most beautiful woman on Earth'. Lucas tells her that the boys at her high school call her 'Heaven Hamilton'. She has the Face That Launched a Thousand Ships, which is Helen of Troy's.

History

Helen's mother, Daphne Atreus, left Helen and Jerry when Helen was young, never giving them an explanation to why she left. Helen has lived on Nantucket all of her life, which leads to her desire to get off of the island. She's always thought that she was different, and when Lucas comes to Nantucket, she realizes that she's not the human that Helen always thought she was. 

Then Daphne appears later in the first book, explaining that she did what she truly thought was best for her daughter (Helen). 

Relationships

Lucas Delos

Helen unofficially first meets Lucas  at her school, when she's possesed by The Furies  and is trying to strangle him to death. They hate each other (under the influence of the Furies) until they save each other's life when Helen faints while flying and Lucas catches her. While she's unconscious, Helen goes into the Underworld  and brings Lucas out of it. After they save each other, they are able to freely show affection. They date until they find out that they're first cousins (Daphne, Helen's mother, led her to believe that, so she told that to Lucas -- a falsefinder -- and because Helen believed it, Lucus did not detect a lie. Later, they find out that they aren't cousins at all -- that Daphne tricked them (for a moving, but selfish cause). In the third installment of the series, Lucas becomes Helen's boyfriend.

Jerry Hamilton

Helen and Jerry have a very close bond to one another. Jerry raised Helen all by himself since she was a baby and he still tries his best to be a father to her. Sometimes, due to Helen's overprotectiveness towards her dad, it feels like Helen is the one parenting Jerry instead of vice-versa. She has been protective over her father in many ways: In the first book, Helen refused to tell him that she is in fact a demigod for fear that she might put his life in danger. In the second book, Helen tried to save Jerry's life by descending into the Underworld, obviously not caring how risky it would be down there. In the third book, she was consistently worried about her father for not waking up from unconsciousness and she was incredibly mad at her mother for drugging Jerry.

Daphne Atreus

The way Helen interacts with her mother is totally different from the way Helen interacts with her father. Helen and Daphne's relationship can be described as cold and distant. Helen sometimes thinks of Daphne as a "bitch" or a "wicked witch" and it is frequently made known in the book how Helen would like to slap her. Due to Daphne's ineptitude of being a parent and Helen's unconditional hatred towards her, they have never actually shared a true mother-daughter moment.

Helen has instantly viewed her as a bad parent since the day Daphne left the family. About 17 years later, Daphne returned, but instead of making herself known, she magically took the form of many different women so as not to be recognized and tried to capture her daughter, in order to hide her from the Delos family before they found out who she really is. After a few failed attempts, Daphne eventually succeeded in abducting Helen by injecting a drug in her with a syringe. When Helen woke up from the dosing, she found herself tied to a bed. When Helen demanded to know what was going on, Daphne finally introduced herself and later lied to her daughter about the fact that Lucas is her cousin. When Helen discovered the truth in the third book, she actually went ballistic; the lie pushed her over the edge so much that she threatened and attacked her own mother, but Castor appeared and stopped her. Near the end, where Daphne got killed by Tantalus, Helen hoped her mother would find release from her bitterness. 

Orion Evander

Orion first met Helen when he pulled her out of quicksand in the Underworld. He accompanies her on her trips in it, and Helen finds mixed feelings for him -- driven away from Lucus after finding out that they are "cousins," yet still attracted greatly to him..

Claire Aoki

Claire has been Helen's best friend since they were born. Helen calls her Giggles and she has always known something was different about Helen. In the last (3rd) book, Claire turns traitor until almost the end.
