Those scenes killed me. She wanted to be loved so badly, but by killing her birth mother, it sealed her fate. Sarah would have at least give her some slack so she'd be able to capture her. Killing their mother and saying that she kept them apart isn't an excuse for murdering her.
Still...she loved Sarah so much and each of her attempts to get love, attention and approval was usually in vain. Sarah was so annoyed and focused on making her stop being a problem that she didn't really see her in a human manner. Kira is innocent, so of course a child can see that. __________________

I don't think Helena could have ever been "redeemed". She had been ruined far too long ago by the Proletheans. In the end, she proved Sarah was the only person she really cared about and she would kill anyone who she perceived to be coming between them. She was just too far gone. I'll always be sad that she died, but it makes sense for her character. |

The Proletheans really ruined Helena, so badly that when she met someone that she really cared for she didn't even know how to interact with them and ended up hurting them instead.
Had Sarah not been forced to kill Helena, I think knowing that Sarah hated her and that they'd never be sisters like she wanted would've been just as bad as death for Helena. |

She probably died heartbroken, which is what really got to me. I cried because Sarah always made it seem like she didn't give a crap. I want to believe that it's not true,but she was rough with her. Helena was like an abused kitty in the shelter. You have to go slowly with them, make sure they won't scratch you for trying to pet them and just gain their trust. Sarah's personality is just to be impulsive and act without thinking, so she probably hurt Helena, even when she didn't want to.

I think in the beginning Helena had just done too much for Sarah to not see her as a danger and whenever Helena actually made an effort to change Sarah's perception of her it went wrong because she didn't know how to interact with other people in the right way. You can tell Sarah genuinely cares for Helena in some parts, but Helena is so unpredictable that Sarah just couldn't let Helena off the hook so easily. Not when she had so many people relying on her for their protection.

I think Kira had a lot to do with it, tbh. She saw Helena as is b/c children are pure and innocent.

Saying I you was too much. I heard that it was confirmed that Helena was in love with Sarah. __________________
