I haven't really paid attention to the data-mined stuff so hadn't realised that Helia was originally meant to be a gnome werewolf. I wonder if someone at Larian saw the latest campaign of Critical Role and thought that would now look old hat!
Though I definitely hope there will be more companions, whether or not Helia is one of them. I'm not fussed about more origins.
