Princess Helen of Waldeck and Pyrmont, Duchess of Albany by Carl Rudolph Sohn, 1882

‘Helen is tall, & “élancée”, with a fine figure, rich colour, very dark hair, dark brown, deep set eyes, & a sweet smile. She has a charming, friendly manner & is very affectionate & warm hearted.’ Queen Victoria

The Queen was pleased with Sohn's painting which she described as 'vy. like & vy fine. He is, after Angeli, one of the best Portrait Painters I know'. (x)

Crescent City + ACOTAR Theory

So, like I said earlier I started googling the meaning of names and fell into a mythology hole, kinda.

And in mythology Theia had three kids. Helios, the god of the sun, Selene, the goddess of the moon and Eos, the goddess of dawn and Eos had a consort, Orion.

Now, I already formed this theory half once without any hints but let's remember canon (I don't have screenshots of the books where it was said, I'm sorry)

But it is said that Theia had two daughters and it's theorized that she was the Queen of the dusk court.

This is the description of Helena (from CC wiki): She had night coloured hair and golden skin that poured starlight and shadows. This description makes me think of the Night Court and that Helena had ties to the Night Court. Which makes me think that Helena is Selene.

Then we know that there is an unnamed, second daughter. I think that daughter is going to be Helios in this comparison, but I think her name will be Hemera and she will have ties to the Day Court.

Then there is a daughter left: Eos. Who isn't mentioned in Crescent City. There are just two daughters mentioned but I think there will be a third daughter, Aidas' daughter (I think she will be called Aurora) and from this line is Bryce descended. Through hundreds or maybe even thousands of generations, she is related to Aidas. And in that bloodline, at some point, it descends into the human Archeron bloodline.

+ in Mythology Eos consort is Orion.

Orion "Hunt" Athalar? 😏
