She is the female equivalent of Hefty Smurf, who defended a community of Smurfettes in her own Forbidden Forest settlement. She is well-known for wearing a four-leaf clover in her cap and carrying a bow and arrow. She has been known to travel around the world looking for new Smurfette villages to join. Hefty's sister is named Starla and she is the female counterpart of Brainy Smurf. They are both daughters of Papa Smurf and they are the only two sisters in the entire universe. Starla was invited by Brainy to come live with him in his secret base under the city where they could fight evil together. But even though she loves fighting crime, Starla does not want to be an evil villain like her brother. She prefers being seen as a hero like her brother. Hefty met Starla when she arrived at Brainy's base under the city and they soon became friends. They go on adventures together and fight crime while searching for new Smurfette settlements to join. Hefty has been known to hang out with Grouchy Smurf, Happy Smurf, Sulk Smurf, and Dandy Smurf. She also has a pet smurf named Nimble who is always trying to help her fight crime!
