Biography[]
Together with the Doctor, Heather visited a human colony in space which relied entirely on the automated assistance of artificial life, (COMIC: Culture (comic story) Glum Culture) dived below the Thames Thames on a sunken Earth (COMIC: Aquarius Condition (comic story) The Aquarius Condition) and faced off against (City of Light) creatures that fed on solar energy. (COMIC: of Light (comic story) City of Light)
Upon being blasted by the Mighty Mozhtratta's Cannon ReCohesion Cannon, Heather was momentarily split into a thousand echo temporal echoes and was left without natural defences against radiation vortex radiation meaning that a single trip in the TARDIS would tear her apart. (COMIC: (comic story) Dead-line) On occasion Heather would still meet up with the Doctor and Ryter Wolfgang Ryter. (COMIC: Heather (comic story) Lucky Heather)
Heather pursued a career in archaeology, (COMIC: Heather (comic story) Lucky Heather) before studying at St Luke's University where she was taught by the Twelfth Doctor. (TV: The Pilot)
One day Heather encountered a timeship - following it to a nearby construction site she discovered the ship's avatars who revealed that they were seeking a new pilot. When the avatars refused to accept her as their pilot, Heather assumed that it was because she was unable to travel in the time vortex and planned to find them another pilot. (PROSE: A Star In Her Eye)
Shortly after Bill Potts introduced herself to Heather (TV: The Pilot) suspecting that she would be a suitable pilot, Heather showed her the puddle of oil that the timeship had left behind. However, she had a change of heart and abandoned Bill. Sometime later she returned to the puddle and poured her heart out, (PROSE: A Star In Her Eye) the puddle accepted her as a suitable pilot and absorbed her. (TV: The Pilot, PROSE: A Star In Her Eye)
