More in depth:

Helaena Targaryen has always been odd. Different people use different terms, but it all crowds into one meaning regardless. She's a white dot in an otherwise black canvas, her whimsy barely tamed by the ugly of Westeros. She was sunlight beamed on the faces of giddy babes, even as a quiet girl.

Despite struggling to be versed in socialite mundanes—she found herself connected deeply with terros* itself. Her mother, Alicent Hightower, used to wish she could be a Maester. Though Helaena never had interest. But it became clear Helaena's deep knowledge of plants and bugs was no fantastical wonder, but useful. She had made medicine several times, even fixing Aegons ale-passion on numerous occasion with only leaves and petals from the garden.

After Jaehaerys's death and Aegons response, something changes. There is a piece missing in her head that rattles around as if it yearns to be back in place. She feels more distant than ever, plagued with something nobody can explain to her.

In fear that the commons may confuse the rat catcher executions as Helaena's choosing, they send her off for "diplomatic" purposes.

Beknownst to Hobert and Ormund Hightower and unbeknownst to Helaena, extremist against Targaryens rise in the city.
