“	...I'm actually calling out the select few that use the instrument to create noise pollution by playing ridiculously high notes at a ridiculously fast tempo. This is the worst thing you can do as a musician; you're supposed to move people with music, not make them cringe at you.	„
—Helene

Description

Helene is an author of Composition books. She often describes herself as "Helene with the red kitty hat" and is dedicated to making sure everyone in Erinn can experience the joy of composing their own music.

In contrast, Helene dislikes musicians who choose to compose Music Scores full of notes meant to inflict pain on listeners. She goes so far as to write that this is a weaponization of the Lute.

Tracy boasts that he taught Helene a great deal about composition when using the Composing Keyword on him, though it is unclear how true this claim is.
