Who is Heloise?

The youngest Trentham daughter, Heloise has severe detachment issues and separation anxiety. Heloise is clearly the most impacted by her parent’s lack of caregiving and often struggles to advocate for her needs at such a young age. On her own accord, Heloise stops attending school, a decision her parents have no problem with. Similarly, Heloise stops tending to her hygiene, which is exposed when a dentist mentions that Heloise has not brushed her teeth in years. In order to receive adequate attention, Heloise acts immature or seeks destruction. Her destructive behavior reaches an apex when she attempts to light the Trentham house on fire.
