Helen Barksdale Morgendorffer Age: 38 (so she says) or 43 Mother of Daria and Quinn, wife of Jake Helen is a strong-willed, sometimes overbearing, often pushy attorney. She tends to have the say in the house, but is much more levelheaded than Jake (which isn't saying much). Helen is not at home often- she's always doing the power breakfast/lunch/dinner thing with clients and her assistant, Eric Schrecter. Helen was a hippie while she was younger, before Daria and Quinn were born. According to the Daria Diaries, Helen has two sisters, Rita and Amy. No word about their last names. There's also a Grandma Barksdale. The name Helen is Greek and means 'torchlight.' It was Helen's abduction, according to Greek myth, that brought about the Trojan War. Also according to the Diaries, Helen is a Cancer, which puts her birthday somewhere between June 22 and July 22. Quotes: Your first daily planner...my little girl is all grown up! (Teachings) Helen:"Bureocracy is the price we pay for impartiality." Jake: Jefferson? Helen: No, Stalin.
