![]() Heather Duke and Heather McNamara do not seem particularly close, with Heather McNamara showing no concern for Heather Duke’s bulimia in the beginning of the film. Heather McNamara is always seen with her arm around Heather Chandler showing that they are comfortable enough to have friendly physical contact. Heather Chandler appears to trust Heather McNamara enough to make several requests of her throughout the film and allowing her to join the Heathers. Not much of a relationship is shown between Heather Chandler and Heather McNamara. Veronica later stops Heather from committing suicide after Heather Duke bullies her, and they skip school to go shopping afterward. The duo goes on a double date with Kurt and Ram with Heather referring to Veronica as her best friend. Heather McNamara is arguably the closest friend to Veronica Sawyer of the three Heathers. This demonstrates how fickle her character is as the aggressiveness of one girl leads to death and the kindness of another leads to sudden renewed life. It is unclear whether McNamara would have actually ended her life at this point, but it is clear she did stand down and submit to her new alpha after the acknowledgement of support from her friend was provided via shoe shopping. The new leader did not respond the way McNamara had possibly hoped for, or perhaps this was her attempt to illicit some kind of attention from the girls simply for a reaction knowing it would be bad. Her phone call to the radio station to complain of her life is clearly a sign she is trying to communicate with the other girls albeit passively, and the aggressive reaction from Duke throws McNamara into a shame spiral which causes her to attempt suicide. With Duke at the head of the Heathers group, McNamara demonstrates an almost aimlessness without her alpha. Thirdly, upon Chandler's death, Duke's ascendance to the head of the pack is met with no challenge from McNamara. It is alluded that this behavior is common, and McNamara is aware of it, among the guys of the school as Veronica indicates her participation in the double date with Ram is contingent on it not involving cow tipping. Something that doesn't seem to phase McNamara at any other point in the film. Her date with Ram which was suppose to not involve cow tipping ended with just that and inferred date rape. Second, her relationship to men seems to be one of an acceptance of abusive inferiority. ![]() ![]() A sort of redundancy within the clique if you will. Without Chandler, her role at this point seems undefined, undeveloped and perhaps even nonexistent. her delivery of Martha's note and her gathering of Veronica to the cafeteria early in the movie. First, her relationship with Chandler is one of submission as a hench woman i.e. This is evident in her dynamic with several people. Of all the girls, McNamara is the weakest and most easily influenced. One could argue that she has a codependant, submissive personality as she seems to always need an alpha but never attempts to dominate herself. Heather McNamara spends most of her time with the Heathers playing croquet at Veronica's house. Nearing the end of the movie, she reveals that she has depression and admits to Veronica that she is not very strong-willed or independent, saying that if everyone else jumped off a bridge, she probably would too. She doesn't seem to have a close relationship with Chandler or Duke, but Chandler seems to trust Heather enough to let her into their clique and speaks to her in a much kinder way than she speaks to Duke. ![]() One of the nicest characters in the whole film, she looks quite friendly and open. This symbolizes that she has hit her lowest point and there is no hope to see any more. After Heather Duke embarrasses her, she wears black. Symbolizing that she is trying to cope through her depression and life. After Heather Chandler's death in some scenes she wears either yellow or gray and black clothes. She wears the colour yellow throughout the whole film. Heather McNamara is blonde, with fluffy hair and green/blue eyes and tan skin. It is revealed that she suffers from depression during a call into the popular radio show "Hot Probz". Not much is actually known about Heather McNamara's early life other than that she became one of the three Heathers prior to her Junior year.
