| − | + | Heather is an [[wikipedia:anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] lobster. She can talk, generally walks on her hind legs (using her front legs as arms), has opposable thumbs, drives a [[wikipedia:Chevrolet Malibu|Chevy Malibu]] (with the [[wikipedia:Vehicle registration plates of Indiana|license plate]] "HAW-LO"), and often acts more rationally than the other characters in the series. She is the pet lobster and close friend of the [[Willis Family]], and, although anthropomorphic animals are not a regular element of the show, Heather's human attributes receive little acknowledgment and no explanation; she is largely treated as a human character, as much as Shushu and Tabby. Heather has a particularly close friendship with [[Shushu Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Shuhsu]] and [[Tabby Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Tabby]], and many of the show's sub-plots center around them. They are occasionally at the center of the plot, for instance in the [[Back Home Again In... (Queen of the Willis)|"Back Home Again in..."]] episodes. Heather, Tabby and Shushu have shown affection to each other several times, and in the episode "Heather, Tabby, and Shushu", they admitted that they loved each other, not as lovers, but as close friends. | |

In "[[Pilot (Queen of the Willis)|Pilot]]", "[[Ten Years to Life]]", and in the afterparty of ''[[RAGStory]]'', she used the phrase "Whose caviar do you have to hump to get a cocktail around here?", which has become a recurring mantra for her, despite only using it three times. She also has a particularly sharp wit. | In "[[Pilot (Queen of the Willis)|Pilot]]", "[[Ten Years to Life]]", and in the afterparty of ''[[RAGStory]]'', she used the phrase "Whose caviar do you have to hump to get a cocktail around here?", which has become a recurring mantra for her, despite only using it three times.

These episodes suggest that Heather is possibly an alcoholic. She smokes and vapes occasionally, although she smoked until "[[Ten Year to Life]]" and begins vaping the end of that episode. She also regularly vapes [[wikipedia:marijuana|CBD Oil]] and menthol/mint [[wikipedia:electronic cigarette|e-liquid]]. |

Heather discovered that her smoking habit stemmed from her mother and her drinking from her father abandoning her for which she saw a therapist. She has also made references to either making, being in possession of, or watching [[wikipedia:pornography|porn]] in numerous episodes. |
| − | + | She is the daughter of Alexandra and an unnamed father, who were normal lobsters and crabs, though Heather's human attributes have been present since she was a squid. She claims her mother is sexist and racist, and Heather seems to have inherited these tendencies. Heather received an Ivy League education, having attended IUPUI, as seen in "Heather Goes Back to College" but was shy one course from graduating. She is also an Iraq War veteran because Tabby (known as Rags at the time) signed them both up for the Army, in "[[Saving Private Heather]]". ''Queen of the Willis'' uses a floating timeline in which the characters do not age much, so the show is always assumed to be set in the current year. However, several of the characters, such as [[Ava Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Ava Willis]] and [[Angie Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Angie Willis]], have aged two to five years since the show's [[Pilot (Queen of the Willis)|pilot episode]], while others, such as [[Tabby Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Tabby]], [[Shushu Willis (Queen of the Willis)|Shushu]] and Heather, have aged very little. At the start of the series, Heather was 8, but is currently 9 years old. | |
| − | + | In several episodes, events have been linked to specific times, although this timeline has been contradicted in subsequent episodes. An example of this is when in "Heather Wallows and Angela Swallows", Angie is shown in a flashback finding a fully grown Heather as a stray when Ava and Heather were vacationing in Maine. However, in "The Girl with Two Heathers", heather tries to regain attention from the Willis family by showing them home videos of her as a squid, although none of the videos of her as a squid showed any member of the Willis family, so it is possible that the videos were filmed by a previous owner. She also has two human children: a daughter named Rumer Moffitt, who was a regular marijuana smoker, before Heather managed to turn Rumer's life around, from a violent, uneducated teenager, to a well-mannered friendly young woman; and a son Arthur, who was concived in "[[The Rape of Heather Willis]]" and gave birth to in season 8. Tabby and Shushu are very confused upon how Heather as an 9-year-old lobster can have a teenage daughter, and Heather's remark about it being in crab years confuses them even further. | |
