Biography

Early Life

Helena Eleanor de Sarkozy was born sometime in the year 1807 to her father Tobias de Sarkozy and her mother Johanna. She was brought into the world before her twin, Edwin Henry, making her the firstborn and therefore the favored child. She grew up in New Esbec, later known for its population of Fjarriagua, and was educated by her father on the principals of her illustrious lineage. Helena learned pride young, understanding the consequences of mistakes and failures, this feeding into her later years. Furthermore, she longed for a maternal figure because of her mothers absents, which later manifested itself into a long string of failed courtships, lovers, and children.

At the age of tweleve, Helena would journy on her own to the capital of the Holy Orenian Empire, Provdience, and begin to study law. She held little interest in the Imperial courts, setting her eyes upon the grandeous judical court system that made the Orenian Empire tick. For five years she would study law under the professors of Providnece, eventually being elected to Head Clerk of her home, New Esbec. Around this time, some of her family would follow her to the city and they would buy an estate within the walls of the capital to call their home.

She'd begin to find romantic partners in the strangest of places,

- simon d'arkent

- him convincing her to open a dress shop

- becoming a tailor to the lower class girls

Debut in the Social Season of 1827

At the age of 20, Helena Eleanor would formally debut in the third Orenian Social Season along with her younger sister, Octavia. Her father had high hopes that she would find an advantageous match to lift the family from poverty, but Helena was still heartbroken from her affair with Simon d'Arkent. At the first ball of the season, she would dance with most every bachelor until eventually finding quick romance to the heir of Azor, Joseph Ledicort. Unfortunately for her, Joseph was an undesissive boy and the Petite Potins was publishing that year.

The Petite Potins made swift destruction of the promising girls reputation, spreading rumors and bringing shame upon Helena's family. This manifested as a case of the pox which spread throughout every member of her household and ruined the entire season for her family. She would luckily recover and make an apperance at the final ball of the season, shocking most everyone with her as she was covered with healing scars from the incident. Sadly, Helena would be one of the few girls to leave the social season without a firm match which left her heavily depressed.

First Marriage

After the disaster that was the Social Season of 1827, Helena would dive into her work and focus solely on her seamstress shop. This led her to connect to the illustrious Madame Valentina, the head the seamstress collective. Madame Valentina had many connections around the city, introducing Helena to many individuals. One such was a Mister Demetriano Valentino d'Montelliano y Delatour with whom held a fondess of Helena since their first meeting. After a year they had begun to court and marveled in their shared love of politics. Demetriano would eventually propose marriage to her father, Tobias, who was hestient to accept at first as he considered Helena his heir. But after Demetriano agreed to take Helenas name, the ceremony was swiftly planned.

On a crisp autumn evening in 1830, the d'Montelliano y Delatour family, de Sarkozy family, and friends all gathered in the grand cathedral of Providence to see the joyful pair be wed. Helena wore a gown she had sewn herself made of soft silk from her store and was walked down the aisle by her father. The celebrations after took place in the de Sarkozy estate followed by Helena and Demetriano venturing across the city to their new home. They would later sire 10 children between the years 1887 - 1845 when Demetriano died tragically early.
