Her mother, Allegra, owned a small gelato cafe and her father, an African-American named Christian, was a frequent customer. After some time the two fell in love but did not marry. Christian revealed that he is actually a covert operative on assignment to infiltrate The Malta Group. Knowing that he should not have revealed that information endangering her life and his operation, Christian and Allegra spent one last night together and then he was gone. Allegra was pregnant with Helena and when she was older, she was never told about her father. It was during her university days that Helena noticed her acute sensitivity to temperature. The brutal summer climate in the southeast region of the US triggered her abilities, but only on a small scale. She would use her powers to cool herself when it got hot but she was more comfortable as the temperature lowered.

She eventually got a job at The Protal Coorporation while at the same time, secretly studied and trained to develop her powers.
