## Personality

Heather was Total Drama's first villain. Famously manipulative, 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. This makes it difficult to differentiate her classic mean girl ways from genuine heartfelt moments.

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", confirms that there is at least some truth to her lament.

Out of her hatred toward Chris, 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 farts and his eating disgusting food habits. She also hold even more disgusted of Owen's limbs such as licked his armpit, ate grape jelly out of his belly button and lick 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 as a crazy girl as well as a freak when she hold a mold spores bicycle manual. Interestingly after Courtney has gone insane after Duncan left her for Gwen she declares "Izzy you've been replaced".

However, there are moments where Heather does display a more compassionate side. 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.

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.
