.:History:. Helena was born on December 9^th, 1986, making her Twenty-Seven (As of 2013). She was born into an Italian family, a bad one at that. Her father, uncles, and cousins joined the Mafia, or as some people call it, the Mob. Her father was the Mob Boss, to be exact, but she didn't exactly know as a child. Her mother, Maria Bertinelli, knew, but kept it a secret, only because it would mean death if she told anyone. However, that's not exactly how Maria died. She died from a rival Mob Gang, sending Frank Bertinelli, Helena's father, into an angry spiral of depression. That's when Helena found out about the Bertinelli's secret. 

    However, as a child, Helena was always distracted by other things, like toys, fashion, or other things, thanks to her father's large amount of money. They'd always go get toys and things, Frank mostly did this to distract Helena from things like her mother's death or his Mafia life. However, what Frank didn't know, was that Helena never forgot, and she went through extreme measures to secretly train in Martial Arts and Tae Kwan do to revenge her mother's death. But she never got the chance, considering she met one of the best men in her life, Michael DiMaggio, another Italian man. Luckily, he wasn't affiliated with the Mafia or Mob.

    They soon got engaged, thanks to Michael proposing. A year had passed, and Helena began to investigate her father's past and his current situations. However, one fateful night, she left her laptop open and her father found all the data she collected. He was outraged, but not at Helena; at Michael. He assumed that the information gather was from Michael's digging, which was false. He soon hired a hit man to kill Michael, and the hit man succeeded.

    Sending Helena on a rampage, she knew it was her father. So, she disguises herself as a persona...a persona she calls The Huntress. She took on this persona to take down her father in secrecy of her true identity. She became emotionally unstable after the two deaths in her life, breaking her down. She now scours Starling City looking for any and all people affiliated with Frank Bertinelli...at Any Cost...

Helena rode down the highway, her dark hair flailing in the wind as it peeked from under her black helmet. She rode upon a black motorcycle, it's wheels seemed as fast as lightning. She called it "The Huntress Cycle". She was dressed in her usual Huntress getup;  the eye mask, the coat, the boots, etc.  Her crossbow strung across her back with her arrows tightened on her boots. Her destination? Well, she just got news of a lawyer that worked for her father, a perfect man to murder. As she exited the highway, a tall building with a large parking garage came into view. Her eyes widened behind the helmet. She drove into the near empty parking garage, parking far away from the Lawyer. 

She hid behind another car before the Lawyer exited the elevator, no one following him. She quickly threw a pocket knife at any nearby cameras, then charged for the assault. Shockingly, she's light-footed, so the man didn't notice her approaching. She took a chop at his ribs, causing him to grab said spot. He doubled over, falling to his knees after Helena kicked them from behind. Helena then grabbed his suitcase and tossed it aside. She then reached into his pockets, tossing the contents out. "Ahem." She pulled his head back, glaring into his eyes. "When you see my father in hell, tell him I said sorry." And then, the man's neck was snapped...
