Helen Stoner is a beautiful, smart, classic Victorian women as she is represented as a delicate flower and depends on men to stand up for her.
"She raised her [heavy, black] veil as she spoke, and we could see that she was indeed in a pitiable state of agitation, her face all drawn and grey, with restless, frightened eyes, like those of some hunted animal. Her features and figure were those of a woman of thirty, but her hair was shot with premature grey, and her expression was weary and haggard." -- John H. Watson, MD
P.S.: To avoid confusion, Julia Stoner is Helen Stoner's deceased twin sister.
