Helia The Light Of Power

The sole daughter of Venus the Fairest, Helia had demonstrated an interest and skill in magic from well before she inherited the wand. When evaluated by Baby, the Butterfly family godmother assessed that Helia was on an entirely different level than any before or after her. Her immense power, combined with her often stoic and unexpressive nature, led people to rarely challenge her decisions in fear of earning her ire. Though a powerful magic user she may have been, her tendency to neglect her duties as Queen alongside a more black-and-white viewpoint would lead to problems that would come back to haunt her descendants many centuries later, such as the establishment of St Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses, as well as creating the Mewni Warriors .

The Archmage: The most powerful queen of Mewni ever recorded. Baby even refuses to use her as a measuring stick, as it would be unfair to all the others. Child Prodigy: At four she already showed an aptitude for magic, and at six she already mastered levitation spells and used magic to map the universe, terrifying Venus. Cool Crown: She turned her wand into a crown in order to keep it with her at all times once she mastered deviceless magic. Green Thumb: She was an avid gardener, and was able to grow a gold and silver tree. Horrifying the Horror: Celestia's birth was close to Stump Day, so Helia was too busy and stressed to give the proper honors. The Stump showed up just when Helia finally managed to put Celestia to sleep. Since that night, the Stump never showed up while Helia lived. Kissing Cousins: Married her cousin Clovald. Mama Bear: She took a hands-off approach during the Second Mewman War, but decided to enter (and conclude) the war herself when mercenaries almost killed her daughter. And those who contracted those mercenaries? Practically bombed into surrender (and the one country who didn't? Extinct). Maternally Challenged: Suddenly having to deal with a baby was a very big change in her structured life. Her biography comments how tough the first days as a mother were for her, with constant crying and breastfeeding. This example contains a TRIVIA entry. It should be moved to the TRIVIA tab.Word of God even mentioned that Helia didn't bother to try to have a second child. Mistaken for Profound: Her best-known quote, "the crown weights", is taken as meaning all the responsibilities of the role of queen; in truth, she only meant that the crown itself was heavy. Mundane Utility: She uses Weather Manipulation magic to water her gold and silver trees with rain. Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: She never did anything explicitly evil, but she didn't do things in shades of gray and with her insane level of power, people were too scared of her might to go against her
