History: Helena was born on April 9th 1866. It had been a great day for many people in America, as it was also the day that the Civil Rights Act of 1866 which was an act in itself to protect all persons in the United States in their Civil Rights.
Helena missed many of the things that would end up taken part of her family away from her. Her father had lived though the Civil War, supporting the freedom of slaves. It would be when she was two years old (1868) that her father would be hung for his support in the Civil War by the Ku Klux Klan.
Her elder brother (Jonathan) would end up becoming the man of the house doing his best to take care of their mother who had fallen ill shortly after the death of their father. When she was six years old (1973) that her mother illness would take full effect and she would die of Tuberculosis would take her life.
Elena and her older brother (Jonathan) would come to live with their grandmother Isabella who had married a Native American man (not biology related) of the Cheyenne tribe, after her first husband had died.
Upon her Grandfather laying eyes on her, that she would live to be very old and would remain very lovely for a very long time. He began to call her Stardust as he told her about a woman who had fallen from the stars themselves and all her children had been very beautiful with golden hair and blue eyes. Just like her own.
She would go though the Red River Indian War (1874) moving even further away from her birth place in Texas, and would cry for those lost in the Battle of Little Bighorn (1876) Which would set her name in stone for her as Elena Bell Stardust which she would remain using for the rest of her years. After all it was the Cheyenne people who would raise her and had taken care of her since the lost of both her parents.
It would be after James Garfield was assassinated in 1881 that Elena would have her first real try at spell casting. Having spent the day fooling around and forgetting to do her homework, she would cast a spell to slow down time, so she could finish her homework while working at normal speed. Sadly the spell backfired and instead of slowing down time, she slowed down her own own time, while everyone else kept at normal speed.
Elena's brother Jonathan would fall in love with a Native American woman of the Lakota tribe. Taken part in their ways and becoming apart of their tribe. Elena did not mind that it meant he would be father away from her because he was happy. However on December 29th in 1890 her brother would be among one of the killed Lakota members.
Elena would learn of this in 1891 by a messenger and would perform a single person form of the Ghost Dance in her wish to say farewell to her brother, however her uncanny way of messing things up resulted in her brother's spirit to not be able to rest until she herself was sent to the after world. Hence Jonathon the only ghost she can see, is her Guardian Ghost instead of Guardian Angel.
Her schooling now finished where she spoke not only several different native American tongues but also English, Spanish and French she left her tribe and began to travel. Many didn't think much about her being that she looked like your normal white woman. With the help of her brother, she would get by though pick pocketing, which he would steal and bring to her, and then return in many cases to the owner without them every knowing.
However, she was caught one day in the 1920s by a band of Roma or Gypsies as many call them. She would travel with them and become a star fortunates teller, reading the stars to tell one's future.
In the mid-late 1930s, while traveling to stay away from the hate group of Nazis who were after her and her band of Roma she would come across Howard Hughes whom she would come to love. During a love spell to keep their love strong, it had backfired and by the mid-1940s Howard Hughes would take full effect causing Howard to develop several different disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, agoraphobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Elena would not be around during the time the spell could had been stopped having been caught with her band and brought into camps where she would ware a black triangular patch, with the symbol for 'asocials'.
There Elena would come across Dr. Robert Ritter who was a psychiatrist who directed genealogical and genetic research on her and other Gypsies. She would watch children as young as six be placed into three racial groups: Gypsies, Gypsy Mishlinge (part-gypsy), and nomadic persons behaving as Gypsies. She would be placed in the last.
Most of her band would be gassed and killed during this time and in 1945 where she and few others would be left to tell the tale of what happened in those camps.
She would go and return to Howard Hughes only to learn that he had gone mad, she however could feel the magic that was around him and knew it was most likely the spell she had caused for their love to grow and stay firm that had caused it. Maybe due to her being gone for so long. She quickly left not knowing what to do and not daring to try and fix it knowing that medical was getting far better at the time.
Elena wanted so badly to try and live a normal life after her ordeal with Howard going crazy cause of her and her time in the camp that she settled down near the University of Houston in 1947. In November she was allowed to work within the University helping out the DJs of the FM station known as KUHF-FM. However even with all the work the station did not get on the air until late of 1950 and once it did Elena found she did not care to be apart of this.
Having left in 1954 four years after it started she began to grow restless and upon coming across a traveling circus she joined as one of the animal trainers.
Elena had missed traveling and for years she would join from one circus to another taken on different roles but always dealing with animals this was to hide the fact she didn't age like normal people.
She would keep up with this until 2008 when the group would travel to RavenBlack City for her last performance before looking for something new to do. By standers she only looked like she was in her late 20s early 30s.

The soap box. *note* still working on this part.. A spell was put on the box to become a portable home for Elena. This spell creates any room Elena arranges in it (like if she sets up bathroom furniture, it becomes a bathroom with running water. etc... ) The only thing that remains constant is a cat maze built into one side.. Elena is not sure of its purpose because she has never owned a cat.
