He is an art student as well as an excellent pilot. He also considers himself to be a pacifist like Flora, despite his great amount of strength. Appearance Helia's appearance is different than the other Specialists, namely because of his waist-length black hair and blue eyes. He also has a well-built body and fair skin tone. Helia also seems to prefer looser clothing. Prior to Season 4, he has long, flowing, black hair that he wears tied in a loose ponytail. In Season 4, he cuts his hair into a spiky style, but it remains longer than the other Specialists.[2] Later in Season 8, Helia's hair length is now shorter, reaching his neck. Civilian In Season 2 and in a few episodes of Season 3 and Season 4, he tied his hair in a loose side ponytail on the left with bangs swept on the right side and he wore a light green poet's shirt with beige khakis. In Season 4 - 7, he wears a light blue shirt, khaki pants, and sneakers. In Season 8, he sports a white shirt with a black vest, with a pair of khaki pants (a callback to his first civilian look) with a mahogany-brown belt with a gold buckle. He also wears a pair of brownish-gold shoes with black laces, as well as a blue gem necklace held with a black string. He finishes the look with a black fedora hat, matching his vest.

Once being described by Brandon as being a pacifist, Helia loves writing poems, drawing and romance. He is very artistic and he is not afraid of making important decisions and doing what is right, even if his friends disagree with him. He is very daring at times, such as the time he kissed Flora in Darkar's Realm. Helia is also not afraid to voice his thoughts, as shown in Season 3 when he berated Riven for his behavior and if he continues he will lose Musa, and in Season 4, when he acts as a medium, like Nabu, between Sky and Bloom, or Musa and Riven. Another example was, when Diana allowed nature to terrorize the citizens of Gardenia as punishment for destroying nature, Helia tries in vain to explain that not all humans disrespect nature and that destruction is not the answer. Helia is a deep thinker, shown when he explained that often, the true context of "nothing" means a lot. He is also witty.[3] Some would say that he is shy, but that is only due to his lack of major speaking parts or involvement to the plot in Season 2 and Season 3. Helia did however, had trouble expressing his feelings for Flora as much as she did. He also has a lot of faith and belief in Flora, persuading her to trust herself such as when she tried to heal the Flower of Life, and when she tried to free herself from the roots cast by Diana. He also openly expresses his strong belief in her for example when she wrapped Anagan up in vines he stated proudly, "Flora's magic is really strong, he's not getting out of that anytime soon." Like Nabu, Helia is very open-minded and understanding, and therefore, he does not jump to conclusions. This can be seen when Riven got jealous of Musa getting attention from Andy and his band, when in fact their love for music installed a great bond between them, which is only natural. Skills ~Helia Attack~ Helia using his gloves to restrain and electrocute a monster. Due to his pacifistic nature, Helia's style of fighting utilizes restraint and disarming his opponents. His weapon of choice is a laser string glove, which is strong enough to hold back Kerborg with one hand, but can also be used to electrocute opponents to subdue them. He rarely uses direct physical combat. In Season 8, he will be utilizing another new weapon - a rope weapon with a handle. He utilizes this with great ease and grace. The rope is used to flick away opponents, strangle, and restrain them. Helia has a certain amount of strength as evidenced by the time he was able to single handily hold off a Gregthroat with his string glove on one hand. Further evidence is shown when he struggles to pull Sky's damaged fighter craft Red Wing into the hanger of the flying ship without being held down to anything. HeliaRopeWeapon813 Helia uses his new weapon to flick an enemy away. In the "The Shaab Stone" arc in the monthly magazines, Helia is shown as a proficient double agent, capable of investigating real fights to fake an alibi, faking an expulsion from Red Fountain and lying to everyone, even Flora, to break into Alfea's administration to steal documents to trick a crime boss into opening the vault holding the Shaab Stone, from which he can steal. He lies with a heavy heart though and reveals all the deceptions, hoping that he can start anew with Flora. He is skilled in martial arts and espionage. Helia is never shown riding a hoverbike until Season 5. Etymology The name Helia means "The Sun" in Greek. Helia is also the name of one of the Heliades, the daughters of the Greek Sun God, Helios. It should also be noted that the name Helia (Ηλία) is a feminine name in Greek; its masculine Greek form would be Helios (Ἥλιος), who is the "God of the Sun" and has the same meaning (Sun). Its masculine forms in Spanish and in Portuguese would respectively be "Helios" and "Hélio," which are used as Helia's name in one of the Latin American dubs where the use of Roman Languages is dominant and the feminine/masculine role plays a large part in language. Helia is also the only Specialist with an originally feminine name. This could hint at the possibility of Helia originally being planned to be a girl (referring also to his long blue hair), but it was probably changed to a boy so Flora could have a boyfriend. Helia's somewhat feminine appearance could also be a nod to bishōnen: a character trope that is typically found in a anime where young men with softer and somewhat feminine or androgynous features that are presented as more attractive.
