Helianne is the first Childe of Maryska Priscus. Born in a carefree, and notoriously uninhibited century, Helianne found it impossible to become close with her own Clan. They were all Ancient when compared to the young Priscus, and few of them could understand her era as it was. This did not stop her Queen from trying to curb her ways for more than thirty years. But, Helianne could not tame her Beast, could not act the part of a human, and quite simply, could not obey orders. Estranged from both her Clan, and her sire by her own choice, Helianne shredded the principles of the Masquerade from one side of the world to another. The safety net of her Clan protected her many of the times, before it was ripped away in an attempt to bring Helianne's destructive urges down to a low simmer. It did not have the intended effect. It only got worse, until Banishment from the Priscus was Marie Priscus' only course of action. Helianne did not mind so much, and if she did, she wasn't speaking on it. She did, however, hurt when her own Sire agreed with the decision. She had never been overly close to Maryska, but the bond was still there.

Confused, and feeling the helplessness of a world without a Clan, Helianne became even more destructive. Until, days later, her own Sire caught up to her, taking the fledgling back under her protection and restoring the Priscus name to the Caitiff. Helianne, knowing what it had cost her Sire to leave her Clan, suggested the move to New York, far away from the Priscus Clan. Upon Maryska's acceptance of the move, Helianne's life has been perfect.

She has walked the line between Caitiff and Priscus since she arrived in New York. Given a vast deal of freedom, both from her Sire, and Lillith's Council, Helianne truly feels free of her Clan. She soon set about creating another Family, the first of which was Nouri, the young girl whom she saw had the potential for destruction that Helianne had. She begged her Sire to Embrace the girl, and Maryska, always having been indulgent, did so. She and Nouri are inseperable.

In the newer nights of New York, Helianne is a wildly productive childe of one of the most powerful Clanless Kindred in the city.

Tall, bordering on statuesque, Helianne Priscus a beauty, her French features giving her a exotic quality that most find irresistable. Possessing a mane of thick crimson hair, and emerald-colored eyes, Helianne has had her share of suitors, and is considered a "sister Hemithane". It is no shock that she is less than thrilled that her old Clan is moving back into her life.
