Heather was a student at St Luke's University in Bristol at the same time that Bill Potts was working in the canteen and attending lectures by the Doctor. She and Bill became attracted to each other. Heather had a distinctive star-shaped discolouration in one of her eyes. Heather was a bit of a loner who didn't make friends easily, often dreaming of going off by herself and leaving everything behind. Bill told her that she would be happy to go with her if she ever left. One day she showed Bill a puddle of water in a part of the university where building works were being carried out. There was something about this puddle, and its reflection, which fascinated her. The pool proved to be sentient, left behind when an alien spacecraft had landed on the site. Heather was pulled into it, and became one with it. She would become its new pilot, but a co-pilot had already unwittingly offered their services - Bill. Heather then pursued Bill to make her join with them. The Doctor took Bill away in the TARDIS but Heather followed everywhere they went, even into the middle of a Dalek - Movellan battle, where Heather took on the form of a Dalek. The Doctor was able to convince Bill to retract her offer, and Heather left without her.
However, Heather never forgot about her. After Bill had been converted into a Cyberman, and had become fatally injured trying to save the Doctor, Heather returned for her. Bill relinquished her dying body and joined with Heather once they had gotten the Doctor safely back into the TARDIS, then they left together to explore the universe.
