Helena Anderson


 * Helena Anderson is a Human/Magical Girl from the Defenders portion of the Magical Molly! Reboot continuity family.

The charming, level-headed Helena Anderson is one of the few (if not, the only) girls who became a Magical Girl after contacting with the Kajiurians.

Due to her parent's (including Hilda's) lectures for letting her face against the harshness of reality, she became a bit of a realist. After becoming a Magical Girl, she uses her strong-hearted persona to fight against Neo Witches. Despite her mature personality, Helena is still naïve.

Helena frequently teams up with Izzy Thorburn.

Weapons/Magic Abilities

 * Era 3 System - After being assimilated with the system, Helena can use Magic Abilities.
 * Trial Mode - After her very first transformation, Helena temporarily becomes a more powerful Magical Girl.

Weapons

 * Multiweapon Attack Shield - Mounted on her right arm, the shield can convert into 3 forms:
 * Rifle - Can be activated if the user deploys the shield grip to the hand, while the gun's barrel slides out from the shield. The grip has a built-in trigger, to accommodate the weapon's mode. Like every Kajiurian-built weapons, it fires a concentrated magic projectile. Pressing the trigger once can fire a shot, and holding the trigger will cause a rapid fire. However, due to the size of the weapon, continuous firing within 2 minutes can cause an overheat, and the barrel will melt (or possibly explode).
 * Sword - Can be activated by clamping both katana-like blades to the front side. The weapon can be served as the user's main melee weapon. As the blades were built with Kajiurian technology, It can cut through almost any material.
 * Bow - Can be activated if the katana-like blades had formed into a Bow-like position. The user can create an energy arrow while creating strings made of magic energy, and by letting go, the energy arrow will be released to destroy the nearest enemy. In several occasions, The weapon is also capable of firing multiple arrows in one shot.

Magic Abilities

 * Wings - Helena can deploy a pair of transparent pink wings on her back for flight purposes.
 * Telepathy - As shared with every Kajiurians & previous Magical Girls, Helena can use telepathy to communicate people's minds.
