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.


Heather in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise


Heather is Dagur the Deranged's younger sister and the daughter of Oswald the Agreeable. She was taken in by a couple who raised her as their own daughter after Dagur abandoned her at a very young age, separating her from her biological family.


Heather is observant and capable of thinking her way out of problems. She is also prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. 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.

Heather is also prone to harboring resentment and is a little nasty. She has a strong moral drive despite all of her negative actions.
