[[quoteright:219:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/helen_8.png]]
->'''Voiced by''': Risa Shiraishi (Game), Creator/HiromiTsuru (Drama CD)
The heroine of the second game. She adopts Jennifer.
----
* AbusiveParents: No, not [[MamaBear Helen]] [[GoodParents herself]], but her own parents. The novelization of her scenario reveals that her father physically and sexually abused her as a child, while her mother kept quiet by it. This ended up affecting her as an adult, as she initially had a relationship with Professor Barton, who reminded her of her father.
* ActionGirl: She's not afraid to shoot a gun or kick a psycho killer in the balls.
* AffectionateNickname: Gotts calls her "Teach".
* BigSisterInstinct: Is very protective of Jennifer and doesn't want to force her to remember the Clock Tower murders.
* CassandraTruth: If Helen calls the police in the first scenario, the operator refuses to believe her claims and hangs up on her -- mostly because of previous prank phone calls claiming the same thing.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Many of the deaths she can suffer, usually getting chopped up by [[spoiler:Dan]].
* FaceHeelTurn: In one ending of her novel [[spoiler: Helen, Jennifer and Edward accept their murderous impulse and plan to start a new killing spree beginning with Edwards new adoptive family.]]
* FinalGirl: Though everyone can possibly survive, in the best ending of her path she will be the one to take on and defeat Scissorman.
* GroinAttack: When dodging Scissorman's scissors, she'll duck and kick him in the groin.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Helen is a good person, and probably the first adult to ever genuinely care about Jennifer.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Ending B in the second game; she opens the portal that seals Dan forever, but she gets pulled in as well. [[SenselessSacrifice Not that she manages to accomplish banishing Dan since his hand rises up from the rubble of the castle afterwards.]]]]
* InfernalBackground: [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/clocktower/images/6/69/HelenFire.jpg In this artwork]].
* MamaBear: Helen isn't afraid to go head-to-head with the Scissorman if it means protecting Jennifer.
* MurderByInaction: It is revealed in the novelizations that, as a young girl, when her abusive father had a massive angina attack and he begged for her to get his medication, she decided to go to the park instead.
* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:In Ending B, although Helen banishes Dan into a vortex at the cost of her getting sucked in as well, Dan's hand later rises from the remains of the castle, meaning that Helen's sacrifice was in vain.]]
* TeacherStudentRomance: In the novelizations, she and Barton were in a relationship before the events of the games, which didn't work out due to how inhuman Barton was.
* VomitDiscretionShot: If Helen sees the horribly murdered corpse of Rose in the university research building, she vomits in the corner of whatever room she finds the body in, but nothing is shown.

----
* AllThereInTheManual: The novelization mentioned that he did his national service with the Norwegian Army.
* BigBrotherInstinct: The novelization reveals that his sister Julia was one of Mary Barrow's victims, which is why Nolan is so intent on investigating the Scissorman Murders, as he's trying to avenge her death.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:In Jennifer's scenario, he comes in and offers to fight Scissorman, which buys Jennifer enough time to seal Scissorman away in the vortex.]]
* CantHoldHisLiquor: If he takes a shot of alcohol at Rick's house, when he's being chased by Scissorman, he'll fall down a flight of stairs.
* {{Ephebophile}}: He falls in love with Jennifer, who is not only eleven years younger than him, but is a minor by Norwegian standards. But he also subverts this trope and is shown as a contrast to [[spoiler:Harris]] in that their relationship is portrayed positively.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:While the Scissorman chases him, Jennifer and Helen in the novelization of Helen's scenario, he stays behind to barracade a door and buy the other two time to escape, [[UncertainDoom with him never being mentioned again afterwards.]]]]
* IntrepidReporter: Has no problem inserting himself into the Clock Tower investigation, but also [[spoiler:in Jennifer's scenario, will actually ''fight'' Scissorman to buy Jennifer some time]].
* LoveInterests: He serves as Jennifer's love interest.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:In the novelization of Helen's scenario, he stays behind to barricade a door so that both Helen and Jennifer can escape the Scissorman. He is never mentioned again afterwards, so it is unknown if he survives or not.]]

----
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:At the end of Ending A for Helen's scenario, he comes just in the nick of time to save Helen by shooting Scissorman and making him fall into the vortex.]]
* CantHoldHisLiquor: If he takes a shot of alcohol at Rick's house, when he's being chased by Scissorman, he'll fall down a flight of stairs.

* HeroicSacrifice: When Scissorman chases after him and Jennifer in the Barrows castle in the novelization of Jennifer's scenario, he stays behind and holds off the Scissorman with a gun so that Jennifer can escape. [[spoiler:The best ending of the novel reveals that Gotts survives this situation.]]
* InsistentTerminology: He's insistent on being referred to as 'Assistant Inspector' Gotts.
* TheNicknamer: He nicknames Helen "Teach" and gives nicknames to other characters as well.
* RunningGag: Gotts always insists that he is an "Assistant Inspector" whenever anyone refers to him as "Inspector Gotts".

An assistant psychology professor to Professor Barton, and someone the professor trusts to handle important errands.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass:
** [[spoiler: [[https://youtu.be/90Z5XZOFcPg?t=4758 Jojo Otani’s tone of voice when he says "Jennifer" in the voice acting of the Japanese release]] after revealing to her his deal with Scissorman implies that [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he's regretful of what he's done]].

** [[spoiler:He's much more of a jerk in the novelizations than he is in the games once he reveals his involvement with the Scissorman, as he openly regards both Rose and Helen as sluts, feels pleasure with both Scissorman killing people and with killing people himself, and threatens to physically harm Jennifer for defying him.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: He's far more horrible of a person in the novels than he is in the games:
** [[spoiler:In Jennifer's scenario, the worst thing he does in the game is kidnap her under the real Scissorman's orders and act as a fake Scissorman. While he mentions being ordered to kill people, he doesn't explicitly say how he feels about killing his victims, and while he is lecherous towards Jennifer after kidnapping her, he shows no signs of wanting to physically hurt her. However, in the novelization, he explicitly mentions feeling pleasure from killing both Rose and Baker and threatens to chop off Jennifer's legs for her non-compliance.]]
** [[spoiler:In Helen's scenario, he does nothing villainous and comes off as a bit of a jerk at worst. However, in the novelization, he explicitly gains pleasure in watching Beth's death, kidnaps Jennifer under the Scissorman's orders and leads Helen into a trap so that the Scissorman can kill her.]]
* ApatheticCitizens: In Helen's scenario, he seems very detached from the deadly situation and remarks nonchalantly that the Scissorman wants to kill Helen instead of him.
* ArtifactOfDoom: He gives Helen a key to unlock the Chapel in her scenario. [[spoiler:But if the key is used, then Jennifer will die and it's impossible to get the best ending.]]
* {{Ephebophile}}: He falls in love with Jennifer, who is twenty years younger than him and is a minor by Norwegian standards. This serves as a contrast to Nolan's feelings for Jennifer, as Harris's feelings are treated like an obsession [[spoiler:and he becomes the decoy Scissorman in Jennifer's Scenario because the real Scissorman promised him he could have Jennifer]].

* LackOfEmpathy: Towards Jennifer, as he's using her to discover more on the Clock Tower murders with little regard for her own well-being.
* TheProfiler: Professor Barton and all of his assistants are criminal psychologists working on the Clock Tower case. Slightly subverted in that Prof. Barton originally just views the Scissorman as "some nutjob."
* TheShrink: Depending on the scenario, Professor Barton can fit in Type 1 and 2. He acts as Jennifer's therapist, but is more interested in finding out the truth about the Clock Tower murders than in taking care of Jennifer's psyche. He also believes that Scissorman is something Jennifer fabricated to cope with her trauma, and is annoyed that Scissorman has been sensationalized by the press.
