Helen Twombly

Helen Twombly is a character in "The Freshman" series. She first appeared in Book 1, Chapter 3. She is an administrator in Financial Aid at Hartfeld University.

Appearance
Ms. Twombly has red brown hair and blue eyes. She wears a light blue shirt with a strawberry brooch.

Personality
Ms. Twombly is...eccentric, to say the least. However, she always has good intentions. She tends to speak her mind quite a lot, which more often than not is harmlessly amusing. She loves to speak of her romantic endeavours, whether those around her want to hear it or not. A comic example of this is during the Freshman Valentine special, Game of Love, where she attempts to speak of her "conquests" only to be promptly stopped by Professor Vasquez.

Enrique Vasquez
Twombly appeared to show intense appreciation toward Professor Vasquez, which often wasn't reciprocated due to Twombly's eccentric nature. However, they were close work colleagues at Hartfeld, often working together in events held on campus. When Vasquez passes away, Twombly decides to follow her dreams of being a novelist in his honour, much to both the reader and the MC's amusement.

Your Character
Ms. Twombly first meets the MC when the latter needs help in finding ways to stay on campus after her family runs into financial difficulty. It is Twombly who cautiously directs the MC towards Professor Vasquez' work assistant placement, ultimately securing the MC's place at Hartfeld. To this end, it appears Twombly genuinely took to the MC from the get-go. They have many friendly encounters in the future which shows that Ms. Twombly feels comfortable being her quirky self around the MC, even opening up about her niche of being a novelist. Ms. Twombly continues supporting the MC as she starts her Sophomore year at Hartfeld after successfully accomplishing Vasquez' task.
