Heather is a fictional character from DreamWorks Dragons. She is voiced by American actress Mae Whitman.


She appears briefly in two episodes of Dragons: Riders of Berk before returning as a regular on Dragons: Race to the Edge with Windshear, her own Razorwhip dragon. She turns out to be Oswald's daughter and Dagur's long-lost sister. Before relocating permanently to Berserker Island to serve as her brother's second-in-command, she briefly joined the Dragon Riders.


The 2010 movie How to Train Your Dragon served as the inspiration for DreamWorks Dragons. The series is a bridge between the first film and its 2014 sequel.

As someone who struggles to trust others, Heather frequently comes across as cunning, untrustworthy, and two-faced. By nature, she is unpredictable and dishonest, and she often keeps secrets and lies to those who have earned her trust.
