The older kids have taken to calling the baby "Queen Helen." There certainly is something regal in her demeanor. She can throw a royal tantrum, but then stop crying on a dime if she gets what she wants. Often, this is not food, but entertainment. She will fuss, then scream bloody murder, if she gets bored. James or Maggie might then pick her up and carry her around the house, just to look at things. She sits contentedly on their arm, surveying her kingdom. She wears a perfect expression of benevolent ennui. But, the contentment only lasts until her palanquin bearer stops moving. Then she gets bored again, and the royal rage continues, but with a scolding tone.
On the whole, she really is quite mild-tempered. She just doesn't suffer fools. Or lack of entertainment.

| Even a queen must recognize the potential for mortal peril. | | |
|
 |
| Is it the adoration of a loyal subject, or a crushing attack by Our enemies? Her majesty knows she must never show fear, though sometimes the eyes may give away just a hint of it. |
 |
| Whew! Disaster averted. It is just another loyal subject, coming to kiss Our signet. You may rise, peasant. |
 |
| Ahh, they love our royal person so. They just can't bear to part from Us. |
