Harper Sisters

Helorah is the familyship between Helena Harper and Deborah Harper from the Resident Evil fandom.

Canon
Helena and Deborah are four years apart in age, Helena being the oldest. Their parents having died sometime before Deborah’s 20th birthday, resulted in the sisters becoming very close. At one point, Deborah entered into an abusive relationship with a man who beat her to the point of hospitalization. In retaliation, Helena shot and severely injured the man, using her CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) training. Following a few more write ups for Helena’s rash behavior, she piqued the interest of Derek C. Simmons, the National Security Advisor and head of The Family. Derek began to manipulate Helena’s career progress for his own devices.

Helena soon became involved in the plot of the National Security Advisor and head of The Family. In order to manipulate her, she and Deborah were abducted by Derek three days before the events of Tall Oaks, being held hostage in the laboratory beneath the Tall Oaks Church. Willing to do anything to protect her younger sister, Helena agreed to Derek’s demands. Helena tried her best to keep a terrified Deborah calm. Under Derek’s command, men came to take Deborah away, leaving Helena to futilely beg and plead for them to let her go. Helena offered herself to Derek in exchange for her sister. Her pleas go unheard as they did nothing and Deborah was dragged away to a then-unknown fate.

Derek used Deborah as a bargaining tool to get Helena’s help carrying out the bioterrorism attacks on Tall Oaks and assassination of the U.S. President. Despite Helena obeying Derek in causing the death of the President, Deborah was ordered to be terminated. Instead, the members of The Family decided to intervene. Rather than kill her and dispose of the body, The Family wanted to see what the C-Virus would do to her youthful and healthy body. Deborah was injected with the virus soon after and kept under observation. Despite high hopes and excitement regarding her mutation her body showed no visible signs or effects of transforming. After an hour of waiting, The Family had to abandon their plans and evacuate Tall Oaks before the area was quarantined. Disappointed, they left Deborah in the lower levels.

Fanon
A smaller relationship; Helena and Deborah have only appeared in Resident Evil 6, with Deborah dying part away through. Despite this, a few fans do enjoy their sisterly love as shown throughout the game how much they do love each other and how far Helena was willing to go for Deborah to keep her safe and rescue/protect her.
