Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Living… with her husband Harry and their daughter Dana. Harry is a computer salesman – not the most exciting profession. Whenever she can't fall asleep, she asks him to tell her about his day.

Profession… stay at home mom. And she’s feeling more and more like a single one. Harry travels all the time for work, leaving her to raise their daughter alone.

Relationship Status… in a rut. Her marriage has gotten stale after so many years. Although Helen loves Harry, she feels that there could be so much more to life. As she says, “It's just there's so much I want to do with this life and it feels that I haven't done anything. You know, the sand is running out of the hourglass, and I want to look back and say, [teary-eyed, points to wall] 'See, I did that, that was me, I was reckless and I was wild, and I fucking did it!'” If Harry won’t be there for her, perhaps she could find a more attractive and exciting guy.

Challenge… dealing with the knowledge that her husband may not be who she thought he was. It turns out he’s a spy fighting a criminal organization known as Crimson Jihad. Did she marry Rambo?

Personality… repressed. Helen’s wilder side has been bottled up for years because she needed to be the good wife and mother everyone expected.  At last, she has the opportunity to have some excitement – but she may get more than she bargained for.
