A blonde cartoon character with a unibrown on the Nickelodeon cartoon "Hey Arnold."
Helga is famous for beating up the other kids, her pink dress, and picking on Arnold constantly. Even though she is madly in love with him and carries a picture of him in a heart frame at all times. She is much to insecure to ever tell him.
Helga is the daughter of a crazy beeper sales man and a mom that seems to be drunk all the time.
She also has a best friend name Pheobe, who is very intelligent and lets Helga push her around.
Helga pushed Arnold into the water fountain and then ran off to gaze at her heart shaped picture.
Loving someone so much that you hate them with the same instensity because you're afraid of rejection so you cover up your true feelings with the opposite.
Helga: Arnold! What a do-goody geek, how I loathe him... and yet... (silly music plays and she starts blabbing some poetry that she wrote about him)
