Heather is a doe from Efrafa that appears in Watership Down TV series and eventually becomes the mate of Moss. She somehow never appeared in other seasons despite Bigwig infiltrating Efrafa and seeing majority of the "slaves".

Personality[]

Before properly meeting Moss, Heather was sarcastic, snarky, cold and untrusting towards him. After he said he's helping the slaves escape for Campion, she trusted him and said her and the other slaves will stand with him. She is shown to be intelligent by helping Moss think about making a new warren and telling him that if he said everyone should think together, they will, and that they have thought together and they decided Moss is their leader.

She is also shown to be annoyed easily as when Hawkbit and Dandelion fight over her, she and Clover talk about that and she expresses her annoyance, when Clover asks who'd she pick, Heather replies saying she'd pick the stronger buck.

The Last Battle[]

Heather was at first cold towards Moss but eventually trusted him. During the battle her and the other Efrafan "slaves" ran out of the Efrafan warren yelling "Freedom".

A New World[]

After the defeat of General Woundwort and fall of Efrafa, Heather came to live in Watership Down together with other Efrafa survivors. She was the doe Hawkbit and Dandelion once fought over before they realized that Heather had already chosen Moss as her mate, and she later leaves with Moss and the rest of Efrafans to form their own warren.
