Heather is a major antagonist in the Canadian animated Total Drama franchise.
She is a Canadian girl who joins Total Drama upon its first season's premiere, bent on winning the million dollars prize like every contestant. To do so, Heather takes advantage of several contestants to make it to the finale through manipulations and tricks, but her spiteful and ruthless behavior eventually costs her place in the game. She participates in later seasons, and while a bit kinder than before, Heather is so hated that she can barely survive elimination. She is Gwen and Leshawna's arch nemesis and Alejandro Burromuerto's archenemy-turned-girlfriend.
She was voiced by Rachel Wilson.
Appearance[]
Heather wears a red halter top and green shorts with a black belt and red and black sandals, she is beautiful with light olive skin and waist length grayish-black hair. Her hairstyle changes throughout the show; during Island, her hair was long and straightened, during Action she was bald and wore wigs, during World Tour she got hair extensions and had a short high ponytail, and during All-Stars she has a long low ponytail.
Her wigs changed throughout Island and Action: her first one was a long black mullet, her second was a long red cavewoman wig, and her third one was a black afro.

You really are mean. And all that bad stuff people say about you is true. Like how you're a two-faced, backstabbing, lying little (censored).

Heather was Total Drama's first villain. Famously manipulative and cruel Heather knows what she wants and exactly how to get it. Her strategic smarts have proven effective, eliminating a record amount of contestants. She competes with her sights solely on the prize money and not on making friends, using others at her advantage and only being kind when she may ultimately be benefited.
Such an example is in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, when a tearful Heather tells Harold that she doesn't like "being mean all the time" and it's not fun "being the one everyone hates". Hawaiian Punch, in which she becomes ecstatic at the thought of being the "good guy", although it was later seen that it was all a lie to benefit from his intelligence by faking kindness in the process.
Out of her hatred toward Chris, she never (or very rarely) misses any chance to antagonize him. Her first words Total Drama All-Stars were "I hate Chris."
She can also be genuinely cruel, as seen when she hoped Gwen to fall to her death in a sea full of hungry sharks in the finale, even calling birds to distract her in a hope to try to cause her this painful death.
She also hates Owen who she gotten annoyed and disgusted. She harassed Owen out of annoyance when she hits him with an oar and slapped him. She shown her disgust of Owen for being gross such as his constant flatulence and his disgusting eating habits. She also was even more disgusted of Owen's limbs such as when she licked his armpit, ate grape jelly out of his belly button and licked his toe jam (which she skipped), and the food that he threw up.
Heather shown her disapproval of Izzy due to her insanity. She usually called Izzy a crazy girl as well as a freak when she held a mold spores bicycle manual. Interestingly after Courtney has gone insane after Duncan left her for Gwen she declares, "Izzy, you have been replaced".
Heather's biggest flaw during the first season was her over-reliance on others. Because she often had Beth and Lindsay complete challenges for her, she ended up losing most of the challenges afterwards. In later seasons, however, she becomes much more active and more of a team player, allowing her to remain one of the biggest threats among the contestants despite all of them being aware of her true nature. This is noticeably shown with Team Amazon when she is annoyed when Courtney tries to sabotage their team just to eliminate Gwen. In fact, despite being one of the most hated contestants on the show, Heather managed to stay on each season long enough due to her manipulation skills turning the negative attention onto someone else and/or winning enough challenges to avoid possible elimination.
However, she starts displaying a more compassionate side after the first season. For example, she does offer Gwen a cookie after she starts thinking that Courtney was going too far with her revenge. Furthermore, she also was disgusted with Gwen for kissing Duncan in the first place. Whether she was upset because she felt sorry for Courtney or because of her dislike towards Gwen is unknown. However, considering she does show sympathy towards Courtney, it is possibly a mix of both. However, even romance is not enough to tame Heather's desire for victory as shown with her relationship with Alejandro. While she still cares for him, she also is willing to betray him for the cash prize. This briefly changed in the finale of All-Stars, where she gave up on the prize to be with Alejandro, but quickly reverted back to her old ways when Chris (exasperated and disgusted with all the loving romance happening around him (specifically by Heather and Alejandro) announced the prize money is now up for grabs by anyone there.
When it comes to her archenemy/boyfriend Alejandro, Heather becomes a tsundere. On one hand she would reject his flirting with her as she knows he isn't the sweet, charming gentleman he presents himself to be. Heather is disgusted by how he would toy with people, or his ruthless behavior is worse than hers. She has tried to warn people about him but fails due to her non-trusting nature. Due to their similarities, people began to realize she and Alejandro are crushing on each other, much to both their frustration. Every time something or someone would hint that she like-likes Alejandro, she would rebuff any claims. She would snap at him when he acted flirty towards her and tries to get him eliminated due to him being able to rival her in just about everything. On the other hand, she would get jealous any time he paid attention to other girls. She secretly does enjoy his company and wants him for herself. She did feel horrible for accidentally causing his injuries that resulted in him being hooked up to a robot for a year, and that it made his legs temporarily fall asleep. Once they begin dating, she and Alejandro become uncharacteristically affectionate to each other, not even caring about the money once it was clear neither of them could win it.

Trivia[]
- Heather is the first main villain of the Total Drama series, the others being Justin, Courtney, Alejandro, Scott, Mal, Scarlett, Sugar, Jacques, Josee, Bowie, Julia, and MK (not counting Chris McLean, who is the show's host and not a competitor). Out of all of them, she is the most important and set the standard for evil contestants to the point where she remains the most infamous, even though she's less evil than some of the other major villains.
- Heather began a tradition in the series where the main antagonist of each season suffers a punishment upon elimination that fits their wrongdoings. In Heather's case, she was eliminated by a technicality after refusing to do a challenge set by Lindsay, the contestant she abused the most and who was also eliminated due to a technicality caused by Heather before.
- Additionally, Heather had threatened to shave Lindsay's hair earlier in the season, and the challenge that caused Heather's elimination was to get her own hair shaved, that challenge was also set up by Lindsay who likely created in case it was Heather who got the dare.
- In the Total Drama series, Heather has competed in most episodes out of all contestants. In Total Drama Island Heather competed in 25 episodes, in Total Drama Action 15 episodes, Total Drama World Tour 26 episodes, and in Total Drama All Stars 6 episodes. In total, she competed in 72 episodes.
- Heather's individual cameo in Revenge of the Island, namely in the episode "Up, Up, and Away", is the most major one to date, since she's the one who drove the plot of the episode, she appeared in further by trying to steal and take the million dollars all for herself.
- According to Heather’s online bio on the Cartoon Network website for Total Drama, one of Heather’s goals is to conquer and rule over Europe after winning the prize money. This particular goal however is never mentioned in the show itself.
- Despite being the first person who sees right through him, Heather is the only contestant to truly love Alejandro for who he is while most girls instead prefer his "Latin Lover" front, which in turn she is the only girl Alejandro truly loves and becomes his girlfriend.
- Even more ironic that despite being shallow and cruel, her feeling for Alejandro are sincere. She still loves him despite his faults since it turns out he acts a lot like her, even finding his real self-attractive. Most girls' crushes on him are superficial, being attracted to how he acted like the perfect, loving boyfriend. They all lost interest in him as soon as he showed his real self.
