Heather Donahue

Heather Donahue was a film student of Montgomery College and the main protagonist of the 1999 horror film, The Blair Witch Project.
April of 1991, Heather submitted a proposal to Mr. DeCoto to create a documentary on the Burkittsville-area legend of the Blair Witch. She intended to tell the story of the Blair Witch through interviews with Burkittsville natives, local law enforcement officials on the Rustin Parr case, and folklore experts.
The heart of the documentary would be a weekend hike into the Black Hills Forest, to visit some of the locations associated with the legend.
Because she had worked with him on several projects in the past and used to be her boyfriend according to the original version of the screenplay, Joshua Leonard was approached to be the director of photography and he brought along his friend Michael Williams to do sound. Originally, Heather acted tough and emotionless during the opening hike but later, as things escalated and the Blair Witch kept attacking, she broke down and even though she had been Josh's girlfriend in the past, she turned to Mike for comfort and protection putting her arm round him and snoozing when they were looking for Josh.
The three students disappeared in the Black Hills Forest and were never found. After ten days and thousands of man-hours of searching, the only piece of evidence found was Josh's car.
=== Fate ===
in the 2016 sequel, Heather is originally "seen" by her brother in a lost camera found in the old Parr house. He thinks his sister is alive and sets off to investigate with friends. They are all disorientated by the Witch and split up. The Witch picks them off one by one as Heather's brother, James, enters the Parr house, where he sees a disturbing sight: the Witch is possessing Heather's deceased body, using her as a puppet to interact with the living. He briefly sees Heather as a shadowed human figure wearing a tattered shawl, the same shawl Mary Brown, an old witness of the Blair Witch, had described her wearing.
