—Hellen Gravely, Luigi's Mansion 3

Hellen Gravely is the owner of The Last Resort and the secondary antagonist in Luigi's Mansion 3. Her name is likely a reference to "Hell" and "graves." She owns a ghost cat named Polterkitty, and has a tendency to assume a haglike, disheveled form when upset, which she is greatly embarrassed about and suppresses using makeup.

History

Tricking Professor E. Gadd into coming to her hotel, Gravely released E. Gadd's collection of ghosts (including King Boo, whom she is infatuated with), leaving the professor to be captured inside a painting. She later invites Luigi, Mario, Princess Peach, and three Toads to her resort, with the intention of having them captured as well. To her dismay, Luigi escapes and proceeds to hunt for his friends.

Throughout Luigi's adventure, Hellen grows more and more angry with Luigi's success and King Boo's disappointment as he captures the hotel staff. When Luigi reaches her office she is beyond furious, angrily blaming the younger Mario brother, for losing everything. Upon her defeat and capture, she and her Polterkitty are last seen staring at the captured King Boo in admiration.
