The Heathers are Westerburg High School's most popular clique. The group consists of the three Heathers, aptly named Heather Chandler, Heather Duke, and Heather McNamara, and one non-Heather member, Veronica Sawyer. These three girls are among the wealthiest and most powerful students in their school.
Formation[]
The Heathers clique originally consisted of only the three Heathers. Veronica requested to join the Heathers clique before the movie started, apparently for the sole purpose of gaining power in the social hierarchy that is Westerburg High.
Members[]
Heather Chandler (Heather C.)[]
Former leader of the Heathers clique before her untimely death the morning after the Remington University party. She gave permission to Veronica Sawyer to become a part of her group and appeared to be closer to Veronica than she was to the other two Heathers. Heather Chandler’s color is red, which symbolizes her power as leader of the school.
Heather Duke (Heather D.)[]
The newest leader of the Heathers after Heather Chandler's death. She was childhood friends with Martha "Dumptruck" Dunnstock, much to her embarrassment. Heather Duke's color is green, which symbolizes her envy of Heather Chandler's power over the school.
Heather McNamara (Heather Mc.)[]
Unlucky and weak-willed, she was the head cheerleader at Westerburg High. She was the girlfriend of Ram Sweeney until his death, which prompts her to attempt suicide by overdosing on prescription pills but is stopped by Veronica Sawyer. Heather McNamara's color is yellow, which symbolizes her cautious nature, although the day she attempts suicide, she wears black, symbolizing that she's hit rock bottom.
Veronica Sawyer[]
The only member of the popular clique whose first name isn't Heather, she was involved in the deaths of Heather Chandler, Ram Sweeney, and Kurt Kelly. After J.D.'s suicide, she takes Heather Chandler's red scrunchie from Heather Duke and claims, "There's a new sheriff in town." Veronica Sawyer's color is blue, which symbolizes order, complexity and melancholy.
