Helga Pataki

Helga G. Pataki (voiced by Francesca Smith) is a rough and cynical girl who puts on a mean, tomboyish front, making her the fourth grade bully.[3]She constantly bullies Arnold to hide her true feelings of love for him, which is obsessive to the point where she has made many shrines dedicated to him. She is an extremely gifted student and a talented writer for her age. She occasionally expresses interest in pursuing the latter as a career. Despite this, she is neglected by her parents and often calls them by their first names because she does not think they are worthy of being called "Mom" and "Dad". Her alcoholic mother, Miriam, is usually depressed, forgetful, struggling to stay conscious, and frequently drinking "smoothies" and "coffee." Helga relates very poorly to her. Her father, Bob, a successful pager salesman who suffers from workaholism, rarely notices her existence, favoring her over-achieving, neurotic college-aged sister Olga, who Helga rarely gets along with. Helga does not really see him as her father as he is a horrible one. He never listens to Helga. Helga is also known for her catchword, "criminy", which she normally exclaims when stressed.
