Any headcanons about Nina's mother?

|| ooooh, sit down and buckle in babe. | ✲・*:･ﾟ✲･ﾟ:*  ˚ₓ

Probably an absolute fashion icon like her daughters.

I feel like she and Richard met either in a fighting tournament of some sort, or during one of Richard's missions. With Richard working for the IRA, and Helena confirmed to be a Aikido prodigy from the United Kingdom, I could maybe.. 70% see it being a Richard going after a prominent English official Helena was hired to protect deal. 70% bc if so then I ask how did these two hellions came from a cute trope like that... wtf happened..

Somehow whenever I try to imagine her, some sort of business entrepreneur comes to mind. If she is still alive somewhere, I imagine her spending her golden years as a benefactor for various martial arts schools, dojos and other organizations under one of her pseudonyms. Likely not the Zaibatsu or G-Corp, but maybe Yggdrasil? What she got of the Williams fortune in the divorce isn't going to spend itself 💶✨

Someone please explain to me why my brain immediately associates her with the color blue... Like Nina's signature color is purple, Anna's is red, for some reason my brain automatically jumps to blue whenever I think of what Helena's could be?

TW: Drinking Lets just say Helena spent a lot of Anna and Nina's childhood with a glass of chardonnay in her hand to cope with the stress associated with Richards work (i.e who knows how high of a number of people trying to kill them, apprehend them, kidnap the kids, etc.) and the after effects of being a martial arts prodigy. Hence how Nina didn't pick up on too many parenting tips from her growing up, how Helena overlooked Richard's treatment of the two for years, and possibly Anna's love of wine. 😔

She definitely wasn't the worst mother out there either though. She protected the two and I feel like there were times where she comforted them whenever necessary. Honestly she's probably the reason Anna's resentment towards Nina didn't boil over until after they moved out. While Richards way of keeping things in order was harsh, Helena's was a tad more understanding. Even when she didn't always get things right.

She probably didn't have a close relationship w her own parents growing up. Considering she grew up in the 50's-60's I wouldn't be surprised if there was a situation where she ran away from home to pursue her martial arts career. Which could in part explain the seemingly lack of extended family to intervene in just....the Williams family situation as a whole (Though it also could absolutely be Richard purposefully secluded them due to his career.)

And bc it's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me. First instinct says strong Gemini vibes. Second says Leo vibes be there too. If I had to guesss... Gemini - Aquarius decan sun, (meaning her birthday would be somewhere between June 11th - June 20th) and Leo moon like Anna.
