Character: Helga Pataki | heartatsunder Canon: Hey Arnold!, almost immediately after The Jungle Movie About: An 11-year-old girl who copes with familial neglect by making it everybody else's problem. Actually a solid friend once you get on her good side; it's just not always clear what that good side is. Oh, and she harbours an insanely intense crush on the first boy who was nice to her. The Jungle Movie has made her slightly better about all of this.
PLANS General: So Christmas is going to make her pretty miserable because she's not only away from Arnold but also can't share Christmas with him, and that's a large part of why she's been so pissy here so far... not that anyone here's going to know that.
And yet...
She's going to reluctantly be more active - partly to distract herself from this, partly so she's not scraping for food because she's too secluded to haggle for it, and partly to shut up anyone who's keeping an eye on her out of concern (which is at least two people at this point). My hope is that by the end of December, Helga will be encouraged to put her feelings to good use, accept she's here for a while, and start emotionally investing in it better. Which may also mean she's going to develop some Dreamotion energy.
Yes, this is permission for others to enforce festivities upon her. Please shove all the winter sweets in her general direction.
Dream Board: She might actually be inclined to take a quest just to occupy herself. If she does, it's probably going to be Bunny Bandits because the girl could use some luck right about now.
Event: She will have a Top Level! I'm mostly interested in the following but am potentially open to others- Magic Snowfall: She's very moody, which means moody snowmen chucking snowballs. Simple as that. Gift on the Shift: She may or not deserves one. She won't trust it, which means she won't open it, but it also means she'll be constantly watching it. Whether or not it gets large will probably depend on who can make her less paranoid. Gumdrops: I want at least one Fluff Gumdrop inflicted on her and another person. Please force her to talk about her f-f... f-f... fffFEELINGS. (Or at least talk over hot chocolate, I'm not picky.) Candyland: She's playing the board game - not sure if she'll reach Frozen Mountain, that'll be up to RNG and whoever accompanies her. Yes, she's going to be candified so she can regret asking Black Raisin Cookie all those questions earlier.
Oh, and of course she's bunkering down for the blizzard, she's not an idiot >.>
I have been working under the impression that he keeps checking in on her at her treehouse (since she refuses to room with someone) - which she objects to strenuously but isn't going to do anything about beyond yelling at him a bunch. Might work for the gift idea? He'd be the first to notice her paranoia around it.
That does seem like something he'd do, probably while bringing her food and maybe even some of the furs he's aquired from his hunts. The gift idea wold probably work, and he'll do his best to try to soothe her fears about it.
It's fine, he had brothers that were way more difficult to deal with.

Also I'm sorry, Maedhros, she's just Like This.
