Heather Fitzgerald is one of the main characters.
Biography[]
Heather is the spoiled rich sister. She does not agree with the tradition of buying the famous serial killer Billy, who used to live in the very sorority house she does, to buy a Christmas present for him. Heather complains a lot and is not considerate of others when the murders begin, only thinking of herself. She suspects a fellow sorority sister for the killings, and while investigating finds newspaper articles and a doll in the sisters room. However Heather later discovers this sisters dead body. After doing so, she insists that they all leave. However many characters would rather stay as they feel they need to wait for the missing sisters to turn up. Most of the sisters don't get a long with her, but some of the sisters do.
Death[]
Heather´s Death in the car
When Heather and Ms. Barbara MacHenry attempt to drive to the police station, Barbara at first wants Heather to clear the windshield but Heather, being from the south, doesn't even know what the brush is used for. Barbara exits the car and cleans the windshield, mumbling that Heather is a "Priveliged bitch" and a "frigid Southern princess." Heather is butchered in the car by Billy, spraying blood all over the front window. Her death is most unknown out of all of the sisters.
Relationship with sisters[]
Heather has a very strained relationship with her fellow sorority sisters, especially Lauren Hannon. She envisions herself as the best among the crowd and treats the girls as if they were below her. Heather's short temper does not help at all. At various points of the film, she was seen arguing with her fellow sisters, including Dana, Melissa and Kelli. When she and Mrs. Mac decided to run away, Kelli tells her off about how Heather treats her other sisters. Despite showing sings of sadness, she still left with Mrs. Mac, which, eventually, ended in tragedy. Also, the only time Mrs. Mac cursed in the film was about Heather. As Heather, does not know what an ice scraper is, Mrs. Mac is forced to scrape the ice off the windscreen herself, and silently uttered, "Priveliged bitch. Frigid Southern princess..."
