Hela Kvichsky

"Death isn't kind. It's dark and black and as far as you, as far as you can see, you're all alone, there's no one else."

Hela Kvichsky is the Goddess of Death.

Personality
Initially, Hela is an enigmatic, gloomy, very withdrawn, solitary and antisocial girl who doesn't see value in having a bond with someone. Hela is intellectually gifted, yet she has problems in social behavior. It's been stated that she either never learned or never bothered to learn social skills. She even considers herself a 'gloomy outcast', often deciding to distance herself from others.

She is socially awkward and has a big appetite. Hela is incredibly aloof and seems to show darker sides of her when angered. She is cold and ruthless in battle, usually ending the lives of her enemies as one would expect from a seasoned assassin.

She is fascinated by a pair of conjoined dolls that she owns, wondering how they can be so calm even though they are attached. When Balder suggests that is the reason, Hela claims that that's impossible. She also claims that, in the end, everyone is alone, no matter how many bonds they may have. However, despite telling Balder to stay away from her, as time goes on, she becomes accustomed to his presence and doesn't seem to mind having him around.

She expresses her opinions freely and extremely, which can come across as mean and often rubs people the wrong way, though she claims she is just being honest. She has an unusually quick tendency to self-victimize and she refuses to believe compliments from other people. She also is very self-conscious about her body and tends to think that other people consider her ugly. She also has a tendency to scold other people for being indecent, sometimes with no good reason. Due to her paranoia, she easily assumes that boys have bad intentions if they wish to spend time alone with her.

Hela is often considered to have very dark humor, such as saying that she'll turn Balder into "one of her puppets'", only to say that she's joking later on.

Hela is a person that refuses to take command and refuses promotion unless she was mandated to do so. She is also extremely afraid of blood and the dark due to very traumatic experiences. She also strongly dislikes bathing, to the point of fear, which might also be a result of an unknown trauma. Furthermore, she gains a fear of ghosts due to her ability to interact with them.

Eventually, Hela revealed a slightly kinder and more caring side of herself. Though she remained rather pessimistic and gloomy, she was more mature and stronger. While not used to touching other people, she is later fine with hugging Balder, and willing to comfort her friend though she says she isn't good at it.

Hela's withdrawn and gloomy nature is later revealed to be the result of the death of her cousin, as she discovered in the 5th grade, was actually her twin sister. When her sister was alive, Hela was much happier, even wearing brighter clothes, though she was still notably shy compared to her sister. Hela and her sister quickly became inseparable, and the two would often meet up in secret, as her adopted mother/aunt didn't like them meeting up with fear that Hela would return to her biological family. As a result, Hela was completely devastated by her sister's death by leukemia (brought upon by her Curse), to the point that she initially didn't want to accept she was gone and even fulfilled her promise to give her a doll she wanted for her birthday. The sheer despair of losing her sister has apparently rendered Hela null to any other trauma.

Her hobby is drawing, though she states that she doesn't enjoy creating art so much as she enjoys looking at it. Hela is also very insecure about her eyes, which is why she hides them using her hair that she had grown over. When she shows them to Balder for the second time, however, he says that they're beautiful and she doesn't need to hide them. Because of her eyes, Hela knows that death is not a blessing since when it happens, you are all alone.

Although she can be rather creepy at times, Hela is actually a really kind girl. She is also very selfless, which is evident by the fact that she willingly "sacrificed" herself to prevent any more people from falling victim to her Curse, as she couldn't stand to see anyone else die after losing her sister, showing that she really does care despite her seemingly apathetic nature. When asked by Balder how she can stand being treated like she doesn't exist, Hela states she thinks it's a better alternative than having to treat someone else like they don't exist, further showing how selfless she is.

Powers and Abilities
Hela is a formidable goddess, having great proficiency with both physical prowess and magical powers. She is particularly skillful at using her powers in combat situations.


 * Superhuman Speed: Hela is capable of running and moving at superhuman speeds, achieving a peak of potentially 115 mph.
 * Superhuman Stamina: Hela's body produces considerably less fatigue toxins than the bodies of human beings, or most other Gods for that matter, during physical activity. As a result, Hela possesses almost limitless physical stamina.
 * Immortality: Hela is immortal and doesn't age beyond her prime. This is due to her being the Goddess of Death who controls life. She can rapidly age people. She can also grant immortality to other beings.
 * Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite her body's high resistance to injury, it is possible to injure her. However, Hela's body is capable of healing itself with high levels of superhuman speed and efficiency.


 * Death-Force Manipulation: Hela can control the essence of death, a force in every mortal which causes things to wither, rot, weaken, and eventually die for various feats such as;
 * Age Manipulation: Hela can use death force to induce death on her victims through accelerated aging.
 * Disease Manipulation: Hela can use death force to cause and spread harmful disease that can kill those it touches. She automatically senses all deaths by disease, accident, or poison, and anything which occurs in graveyards.
 * Necromancy: Hela can use death force to perform necromantic feats such as reviving the deceased.
 * Death Empowerment: Not surprisingly, Hela can gain strength from death itself, perhaps through souls of deceased mortals.
 * Ice Manipulation: Hela can manipulate ice and cold to some degree, though compared to that of other deities, her cryokinetic powers leaned more to its destructive and harmful aspects.
 * Control Over Life and Death: As the Goddess of Death, Hela holds the power of life and death over the gods. Death for a God is somewhat different from death for a human being. In both cases, the corporeal body ceases all functions and activities, but whereas mortal spirits flee the physical form at the moment of death, the spirits of gods remain in their bodies until the death goddess draws them out and dispatches them to their afterlife. These spirits (or astral selves) remain integral for eternity and reside, apparently forever, in the other-dimensional realm, where they take on a quasi-physical existence, under Hela's control.

Trivia

 * Hela suffers from a pathological fear of the dark, blood, and ghosts.
