Helga was a housemaid for Dr. Jekyll.
Physical appearance[]
Helga is a woman, with short blonde hair and dark complexion. In her younger days at the circus she was feminine and slender, but since leaving she seems to have become somewhat manly and very muscular. She wears a white apron over a short-sleeve blue dress, with a white collar and white rims on her sleeves. She also wears brown dress shoes and dark purple leggings.
Personality[]
Helga is proud of the fact that she used to work in the circus, as evidenced when it is stated that she does not need suction cups to scale a building due to her act, and she gives a smug smile. She seems to take her work very seriously, even though she is not very good, as shown when she claims that a web covered room is clean, and that if she was a good maid, she would have come across the false evidence, that Dr. Jekyll had placed, when she was cleaning. Nevertheless, she is shown to be compassionate to others in certain situations, such as when she discovers Dr. Jekyll unconscious on the floor.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You![]
Season two[]
Helga stumbled across Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo while they were searching the attic in Dr. Jekyll's mansion. Despite the attic being in a filthy state, she claimed that she had just finished cleaning the room and expressed her frustrated that they had ruined her work. As she set about dusting the space, the resulting dust cloud sent Shaggy and Scooby into a sneezing fit.
The gang encountered circumstantial evidence which implicated Helga as the culprit behind the Ghost of Mr. Hyde and the jewel robberies, including her feather duster alongside a muddy pair of shoes and a partially destroyed paper clipping about her prior career as a trapeze artist in the circus, proving she had the skills required to scale buildings. A search of her room also turned up a bottle of knockout drops and a can of phosphorus paint.
Because these clues fully convinced the gang that Helga was the ghost, they were stunned when they trapped the Ghost and found that it was really Dr. Jekyll, who had gone to great lengths to frame Helga.
