So when it comes to characters like Helsing and stuff, I'm not going to lie: those writers have a hell of an ability at telling stories. Even looking at Helsing, the depth of that character, I mean, think about it. She's from the 19th century. Her father was the most legendary monster hunter of all time. Her father lied to her about her mother forever.
I'm going to be careful what I say but we come to find out something happens with their father. Then we find out her mother wasn't what we thought she was and Dracula also had a baby with her mother. Now she's got a sister that's the daughter of Dracula. It's so convoluted and so complex with the story characters.
So it's like, so many things going on, and add that to the fact that she's from the 19th century. She lived a long time, then she got trapped in another dimension for hundreds of years, then came back to Earth. In that other dimension she was fighting monsters 24/7, which is where she got a lot of her skill.
Yet they still find it in the character to connect her with Hades, make them fall in love, and explore her sensitive side and her fear of dying, faced with her own mortality. There are just so many nuances and chapters to these characters and I think Helsing specifically died like three times but kept coming back. You'll notice that in each era the characters carry their own personalities and their own things that they kind of carry between themselves. Some extremely good storytelling
