—Heather regarding playing on Total Drama.
Heather Smith (labled: The Queen Bee) is a mean and snobby girl who won't stop at anything to win the million dollar cash prize and acts as the main antagonist until the introduction of Alejandro. In Total Drama Island, she forms an alliance with Beth and Lindsay but is disbanded when Beth stood up for herself when Heather is mean to her one too many times.
Very little is known about Heather's past. Her father is a successful bussinessman, albeit very cheap, and her mother is a shallow socialite. She has two haughty older sisters, who are successful in business as well, and two mischievous younger brothers, who enjoy torturing her (e.g., by booby-trapping her room and putting glue in her hair conditioner). In her youth, Heather exhibited sociopathic tendencies and bipolar issues, and her parents tried electroshock therapy on her to make her nicer, but to no effect.
In her early adoloscnece, she used to be a fat, brace-faced, pimply, style-challenged junior high reject; something she overcompensates for now with a mean veneer and lots of makeup. During her summer before entering high school, Heather begged her father for liposuction and he agreed. Using what money she had saved over from past birthdays, she spent hundreds of dollars on skin care products and new clothes to reinvent herself. She also began taking exercise classes with her mother and sisters regularly, despite her sisters constant ridicule during the class.
Upon entering high school, she quickly established herself as the most popular and ruthless girl at school — becoming student class president (after several ballot boxes for her opponents mysteriously ended up in the boys urinals), head cheerleader (but only attended rallies where the year book photographer is present), captain of the debate team (because she loves to argue; but will only debate issues of personal interest (i.e. did you see Susie's new haircut? Can everyone say: "80's perm-gone-wrong?")), and head of the year book committee (to ensure that "said photographer" includes only her best shots, and also to ban photos of anyone she hates).
Total Drama
Personality
Heather was generally considered to be a very rude, snobby, self-absorbed girl with a dismissive, cold attitude, and a superiority complex, especially toward Gwen, Leshawna, and their friends, whom she largely considered to be beneath her. She was driven by a near-constant need for recognition, and almost always demanded to be the center of attention, no matter what the situation was. Heather's self-obsession was such that she could not be bothered to care about the problems of others, even if they were far more important than her own desires. 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.
Heather was long thought to be mean in general, for little reason other than she could. However, while teamed up with Harold for a short time, it was strongly implied that Heather's sour disposition stemmed largely from her two older sisters who were just as verbally abusive to Heather as she typically was to others, to the point where the other contestants was clearly uncomfortable having witnessed the exchange.
Physical Appearence
Abilities
Artful Manipulator: Famously manipulative, Heather knows what she wants and exactly how to get it.
Strategic Planner: Although cold and mean, Heather is an effective coordinator and tactician. Her strategic smarts have proven effective, eliminating a record amount of contestants.
Heather's "perfectly manicured fingernails" have proven to be useful weapons.
Competent Martial Artist: According to Heather, she has taken Tae Bo lessons two hours a day five days a week since she was fourteen years old. During her brawl with Leshawna, Heather held her own for a time and displayed some combat prowess, but she was ultimately overpowered and lost a tooth.
Claws: Heather's fingernails are sharp enough to use as weapons, seeing as how she has incorporated them into her physical fights.
