Helena

Martti's cousin. A poor girl with a mean and vulgar personality. Because she looks down on the work of keeping livestock, she is mean to Katri every time she sees her, and even poured beer on her dress. Also, when she finds Martti, who is on good terms with himself, being friendly with Katri, she tries to separate them. Her favorite white handkerchief is a cheap one knitted by her machine, but she likes it so much that she boasts about it to Katri.
