Helen Richardson / The Distortion

Helen is a character from the podcast The Magnus Archives. She is a real estate agent who became merged with the Distortion after walking through one of its doors and being trapped. Much like the previous Distortion, Michael Shelley, she became a fan favourite and received similar sexyfication.

Basic Information
Helen first appeared as a statement giver in the podcast's second season, talking about her days spent trapped in Michael's hallways. After giving her statement, she enters another one of Michael's doors, and ends up in his realm once more. In season three, it is revealed that she is still alive, and replaces Michael as the new Distortion.

British
The Magnus Archives takes place in Britain, and her voice actress, Imogen Harris, has a British accent.

Intelligence
Deceit is a key component of the Distortion, and it is something that Helen is good at. She fools the protagonists (and much of the audience) into believing that she's a friend with good intentions, hurting and helping them at the same time without ever seeming like she fully betrayed them.

Monster Features
Like her sexyman counterpart, Helen has huge hands with long, sharp fingers. She is also commonly depicted in fanart with other types of body horror.

Nonhuman
Whatever the Distortion is, it definitely isn't a human.

Power
Helen has the power to open doors into the confusing and maze-like hallways of the Distortion, trapping her victims. After the apocalypse begins, she also gains her own domain, which is a hotel that psychologically torments her victims (not to be confused with Hazbin Hotel).

Villain
Though Helen appears to be on the side of the protagonists, she is eventually revealed to be an enemy who wishes to stop Jon from reverting the apocalypse.

Sexyman Counterpart
Helen's predecessor, Michael, was a sexyman. Information about him can be found on the Tumblr Sexyman Wiki.
