Helia could be a cool companion, not only was Helia a werewolf Halfing Bard, by going by Astarion's cut lines, he meantions her as Saucy, meaning this characters had a lot of sass and sarcasm to them, Larian knew which direction they wanted to take with this character, they had a plan and chose not to follow through with it, oh well maybe Helia can be salvaged up as DLC or as a patched in Companion.
Or maybe they swap out the failed druid experiment with her, according to the two biggest threads here, this would be the best course of action maybe. No seriously, I think, she would have made an awesome addition to the circle of companions.
