Heather Kasuga

Name: Heather Likes: Talking about how great she is. Dislikes: Her evil little brother. Known For: Being in any club at school that will put her in the spotlight. Why TDI?: Practice for her long-term goals of ruling Europe. GENDER: Female HAIR COLOR: Black EYE COLOR: Gray LABEL: The Queen Bee Heather has it all - looks, brains, talent - she could go on and on, but why talk about something that is so obvious! Heather likes to keep busy with extra curricular activities. (Read: Be the center of attention and hog the spotlight.) She's School President (after several ballot boxes for her opponents mysteriously ended up in the boys urinals). She's Head Cheerleader (but only attends rallies where the Year Book Photographer is present). She's 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). She's President 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?") Heather is a winner at everything and can do anything she sets her mind to because she doesn't have to worry about pesky things like morals, ethics or scruples getting in the way. Her credo is "Why put off until tomorrow what someone else can do for you today." The only place Heather is out-ranked is at home. She has an evil younger brother, Damien, who enjoys torturing Heather by booby-trapping her room and putting glue in her hair conditioner. Heather would be mortified if the audience discovered her deep dark secret, but Total Drama Island has heard from reliable sources (her brother) that 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. Heather hopes that her experience on Total Drama Island will open more doors for her so she can eventually attain her long-term goal of ruling Europe.

Heather was Total Drama's first antagonist. Famously manipulative and vicious, 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 only on the prize money and not on making friends or finding love, using others at her advantage and only being kind when she may ultimately be benefited. This makes it difficult to differentiate her original, mean girl ways from her true 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. However, even romance is not enough to tame Heather's desire for victory, as shown by her relationship with Alejandro. However, over the course of the series, she has progressivelly gotten nicer, from trying to warn others about a greater threat, to sympathizing with others, and even feeling awful for accidentally causing someone's life-threatening injuries.

One of Heather's fatal flaws, at least in the beginning of the series, is her vanity. Portraying as a stereotypical rich and spoiled girl, Heather refuses to partake in any activities that may result in ruining her good looks, especially her hair, which earned the ire of one of her biggest rivals, Leshawna. Instead, she had other people do her work for her. One could say that until Lindsay's elimination in That's Off the Chain!, Heather shows little involvement in most of the challenges. This trait has since vanished after season one and she becomes more determined to win challenges by herself.
