Hellena Thorns, the daughter of Alexander Thorns, one of the richest and most influential leaders of the Guild Mechanica, has always been an exceptional anomaly in the aristocratic circles of the Vache Kingdom. Her upbringing was unique, immersed in the world of contraptions, steam machines, and firearms.
As a child, Hellena found herself irresistibly drawn to her father's inventions, particularly his firearms. While her older brother, Corvax, cared little for their father's mechanical creations, Hellena's fascination with machinery only grew stronger. She'd often forego the company of nobility and court gatherings to spend her days amidst the whirring gears and hissing steam in her father's workshop. Hellena's youth was unconventional for a lady of her social standing. Rather than concerning herself with the trivialities of court life, she immersed herself in the intricate craft of firearms. Her teenage years saw her dismantling, reassembling, and training with various guns and rifles. She became a skilled marksman, capable of hitting precise targets with remarkable accuracy.
As she transitioned into adulthood, Hellena leveraged her unique set of skills and knowledge to carve her own path. She not only mastered the art of firearms but also excelled as an arms dealer, particularly dealing with high-quality and intricately crafted guns. Her reputation as a sharpshooter with an astute eye for firearm quality quickly spread throughout the Vache Kingdom.
In the aristocratic circles, many display firearms as status symbols, yet few possess the proficiency to handle them with grace and skill. Hellena is often called upon to inspect the weapons of the nobility, and she doesn't mince words when evaluating craftsmanship or critiquing a firearm's handling. Her keen eye and extensive understanding of firearms have earned her respect and credibility in the world of weapons, a realm that, though new, is rapidly evolving.
Hellena Thorns' journey from an unconventional aristocratic youth to a respected firearms virtuoso has transformed her into a remarkable figure in the Vache Kingdom. Her unique blend of privilege, technical mastery, and a discerning eye make her a force to be reckoned with in a world where machinery and invention are reshaping the landscape of power and influence.
