Mortal Life
From an unremarkable middle-class family in an unremarkable London slum, Helena became a magician's assistant in the mid-nineteenth century, working as a bird-catcher and scantily-clad trick subject for The Fantastic Fanzini, in fact a working-class man from Kent who bilked audiences for as much as he could get away with. Helena was somewhat dazzled by the promise of a life in show business, but soon learned that it was mostly faded recycled clothing, cleaning bird droppings off of tools, and slapping her boss out of a drunk in time to get on stage every night.
Life became more interesting, however, when her boss sent her on a mission to investigate the operations of a rival magician, Marvo the Marvellous, who was siphoning off crowds and considerably cutting into their already strained finances. Helena went undercover as a magician's assistant-for-hire for Marvo, but discovered to her surprise and joy that he was in fact an actual magician with real powers. She promptly quit her job, leaving Fanzini to find a new assistant, and begged Marvo to take her on as an assistant until she wore him down and he reluctantly agreed.
Embrace
Under Marvo's tutelage, Helena studied night and day, performed constant spells she designed herself as well as experiments that constantly backfired, and made her boss's life a living hell as she refused to let go of her determination to learn magic. Much to her delight and his surprise, she eventually accidentally succeeded, becoming a full-blown Mage almost overnight.
Unfortunately, this led to Marvo, whose name was actually Jack Weston and who was a Tremere vampire and former member of the Order of Hermes, to spring into action to prevent her from accidentally doing anything that would endanger the Masquerade. Rather than risk her recognizing him as a vampire and possibly destroying him, he immediately Embraced her in order to stifle her latent powers and Blood Bond her into obeying him; this successfully prevented her from developing into a threatening magical presence, but left him with a new vampire with an incredibly excited outlook on the world and a lot of energy to put toward acquiring new blood magics. He passed her off to the London Chantry rather than trying to train her himself, where she spent fifty years studying and proposing an endless stream of rituals.
