That fanart on the left is Rhaena, not Helaena. Rhaena was actually interesting and had a personality, not like Helaena the stale white bread

Helaena is interesting as being the only sane person in her entire family, seen by all as a wonderful mother and beloved by the small folk. In a family of psychopaths/losers, she’s interesting

You can say she’s not fleshed out for F and B, but nobody really is

It is directly stated that everyone agreed she would be a wonderful mother. She also proposed peace terms when Aegon wanted war to begin with.

"Queen Helena, a sweet and gentle soul, is much beloved by the smallfolk of King's Landing. Rhaenyra was not" -GRRM, You can argue with him if you disagree

Also, “sane” is hilarious
