♥ History
Izzy and Heather grew up together in Cool City in 1991 as sisters. Heather, Purrsephone, Dawn and Bunny grew up as close friends, and would form The Queens. According to Purrsephone, she was a girl scout for only one day, quitting after tripping and falling. She and Izzy have a troubled relationship, judging by her insistence that Izzy is an evil pyromaniac.
♥ Plot
On September 1st, Purrsephone brought a weird new girl to the lunch table, and instantly has a bad feeling about her. Begrudgingly, she introduced herself to this "Cathy" girl and in seconds, said Cathy was ranting about being kicked out of the girl scouts. After having her ego bruised a bit by Purrsephone's remarks, she and the other Queens warn Cathy to stay away from her sister, insisting she's a deranged arsonist. Heather received Cathy's number.
That night, Heather looked at Cathy's Meowspace to figure out just who this squirrel really was, and instantly saw she was a weird Christian horse girl who posts her baby photos online. Without hesitation, she called Purrsephone and argued with her about it into the wee hours of the night. Early into the morning, she called again, with Purrsephone hanging up before being pulled into that one again.
At some point during this whole mess, Heather's diary journal was stolen, much to her shock and horror.
During lunch that day, she freaked out, accusing Bunny of stealing it before attempting to interrogate Cathy. She's interrupted by Purrsephone dismissing her, and then proceeds to argue with her for the rest of the period.
On Thursday, she's called on by Ms. Ox in math class after Cathy got an "incorrect answer". She answers correctly, and is praised for it by Ms. Ox, much to her chagrin, even though it was the same answer as Cathy's. With Purrsephone fully rested, Heather sadly could not bring up the journal again at lunch, and instead had to follow along with her superior on the clique tour. Even if Cathy absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke. Turns out, the reason Dollie started avoiding Cathy (and The Queens at large) was because Heather and Dollie had an extremely one-sided rivalry as she got better grades than her. In a snap second, she comes up with the idea to lie about the goths and punks being Satanists, with Purrsephone joining in to add that they supposedly "sacrifice puppies and kittens!". Welp, Cathy fell for it, so mission succeeded.
♥ Personality
Heather wants the "fancy" part of "fancy rat" to be what you think of when you see her. She positions herself high above the rest, desperate for you to see every and all accomplishments of hers, no matter how mundane. Anything out of order deeply upsets Heather, which, combined with being in the cutthroat jungle of high school, drives her to be a conformist who nips everyone's ankles. Though she is well-spoken and clearly book smart, she's a nervous, jittery mess propelled by envy, terrified of being overshadowed by Purrsephone, and to a lesser extent, the other girls.
♥ Extra
- Tolerates being called a "fancy rat", but would highly prefer it if you just called her a mouse. Hates being called a plain ol' rat, as she finds it undignified.
- Has a phobia of fire. She cannot stand being near open flames and gets uneasy if the stove's on, unattended. Even a candle can put her on edge.
- Takes part in an ungodly amount of extracurricular activities, being apparently president of the beta club, vice president of the student council, captain of the tennis team, CEO of the newspaper club, co-co-cheer captain and a member of the chess club.
- Claims to have been a spelling bee champion since she was two years old.
- Apparently also afraid of riding schoolbuses, due to their lack of seatbelts.
- Despite (or perhaps because of) her obsession with being recognized as intelligent (as well as beautiful), she hates taking credit for other people's work. Praise me for something I actually did, dammit!

♡ Design Notes
- Her lipstick and eyeshadow is drawn and colored as black, but realistically, they'd actually be darker shades of nude colors like brown.
- Wears preppy feminine clothes, not usually as revealing as what Purrsephone would wear. Favorite color is green, especially pastel green.
- Unlike her sister, her buckteeth don't stick out of her mouth.
