[[quoteright:285:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hatheidi_8.png]]
[[caption-width-right:285:Heidi as of Season 20.[[note]]Prior to "Skank Hunt", she did not wear a hat.[[/note]]]]
-> "''Eric!, Hey, I got us chocolate milks!''"
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Jessica Makinson
->'''Voiced in French by:''' Marie-Laure Beneston
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Margarita Coego (Season 9), Arianna López (Season 17), María José Estévez (Season 20 onwards)
->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/SouthParkS3E1RainforestSchmainforest Rainforest Shmainforest]]"
A girl in the same class the four boys attend. She was Eric Cartman's girlfriend for a time. Originally just one of the minor female classmates and a part of Wendy and Bebe's group of friends, she became a much more prominent character in Seasons 20-21.
----
* AdHominem: Employs this tactic constantly during her stint as Cartman's DistaffCounterpart. When Theresa briefly snipes at her, Heidi brings up her family's financial state to put her on the defensive; when Kyle attempts to implore the school to make peace, Heidi [[ShutUpKirk tells to him shut up]] and accuses him of "sounding like his mom"; when Kyle rejects his friends' offer to help him search for his missing brother, Heidi accuses him of simply being bitter over being rejected by her. This last one backfires on her, however, as Kyle turns the tables and disgustedly renounces the idea that he would ever feel any attraction for her, kick-starting her JerkassRealization.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Yes, she does become Cartman's girlfriend, but only because he was actually very kind to her in Season 20. Thus, she did not like when he became a {{Jerkass}} to her in Season 21 leading to her decision to dump Cartman in "Splatty Tomato".
* AllLovingHeroine: Averted in her [[CharacterizationMarchesOn first few appearances]] and during her Cartmanized phase, but played straight in Season 20 and seasons 22 and beyond. Despite being part of the popular clique, Heidi takes a warm-hearted approach to anyone and everyone she can, even if said people aren't exactly approachable themselves. When Butters is getting thrashed by Bebe in "Worldwide Privacy Tour," she's horrified and looks away, seemingly waiting for the fight to dissipate on its own, and in "Cupid Ye", Cartman's anti-semitic horseshit doesn't corrupt her even after it escalates to Cupid Ye taking matters into his own hands by brainwashing basically the entire fourth-grade.
* AmicableExes:
** {{Implied}} with Kyle after Season 21. While they haven't been seen interacting with each other since then nor is there any evidence that shows them having gotten back together, they don't seem to harbor any negative feelings towards each other. This is shown in "The Problem With A Poo" where the two are shown willing to sit near each other in the music room without showing any hostility, while in "Cupid Ye" Heidi doesn't listen to Cartman's anti-semitic remarks about Kyle nor does she gets brainwashed by Cupid Me into attacking Kyle like most of the other kids.
** Averted with Cartman. After their break-up in "Splatty Tomato" Heidi seems to be avoiding him as much as possible, sitting far away from him during the music room and the school assembly in "The Problem With A Poo". Likewise, Cartman claims to have anxiety in "Buddha Box" because he can't stand people anymore (including Heidi), insults her and the other girls in "Board Girls" for reading rule books to win at board games, and when Scott Malkinson brings up their relationship in "Basic Cable", Cartman compares it to diabetes times 10, possibly still holding Heidi in contempt for breaking up with him.
* ArcHero: Of the Cartman-Heidi relationship arc that dominated Seasons 20 and 21. She's the central character in that StoryArc and gets the most CharacterDevelopment out of anyone there. Unsurprisingly, after the story arc ends she [[DemotedToExtra returns to her previous role as a background character.]]
* AscendedExtra: Has been around ever since Season 3, but was mostly a background character. However, as the series progressed, she got a fair amount of prominence and speaking roles. In fact, she played a fairly big role in the Season 9 episode "Marjorine". Despite this, however, her personality and limelight had not been fully established until Season 20.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: In Season 20, she is shown to have invented an entire method of cryptographic analysis in order to uncover the identity of [=skankhunt42=]. Not bad for [[ChildProdigy a ten-year-old]]. Taken [[ExaggeratedTrope Up to Eleven]] when dealing with the issues at [=SpaceX=]; she manages to create a source of energy that can power humanity's trip to Mars, and later saves the world from [=TrollTrace=] by having done so.
* BaitAndSwitchSuicide: In "Skank Hunt", she looks suicidal when she's shown at the edge of a bridge, but she was really just quitting Twitter and throwing her phone into the river.
* BeastAndBeauty: A rare non-monster example. She was the beauty to Cartman's beast. She's a kind, compassionate and friendly girl while Cartman is a rude, selfish, [[HairTriggerTemper tempermental]] [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk with a heart of jerk]].
* BeingEvilSucks: In "Splatty Tomato", Heidi realizes that being Cartman's DistaffCounterpart and mocking others never made her happy, which led to her decision to break up with Cartman and revert back to her healthy NiceGirl self afterward.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Contrast the kind, caring, naive, and healthy girl she once was before dating Cartman to the bitter, resentful, bigoted, and fat {{Jerkass}} she became while dating him. "Splatty Tomato" in particular points this out.
* BrainyBrunette: She has brown hair, and is quite smart for someone her age, having found a way to travel to Mars and is been described by Mr. Mackey as the school’s best science student.
* BrattyHalfPint: She showed shades of this in Season 9's "Marjorine", in which she throws a fit over her mom inviting the "new girl" to her slumber party.
-->'''Heidi''': Mom, I didn't invite her!
* BreakoutCharacter: Originally just one of the more minor characters, becoming Cartman's girlfriend has made her extremely popular with the fanbase, promoting her status to a major character even obtaining a hat of her own.
* BrokenBird: She becomes one by Season 21. She failed to stop [=Skankhunt42=] last season, is frequently picked on by the other girls and is stuck in an emotionally abusive relationship with Cartman. She tries to cope with all of this by becoming a female version of her boyfriend, only to realize how much she has changed from the {{Nice G|uy}}irl she was before. Because of this, she breaks up with Cartman for good.
* BrokenHero: Despite getting viciously trolled, shunned by her friends, and mentally abused by Cartman, she still tries her see the best in everyone and goes out of her way to help those in need. That said, she does have her breaking point and becomes Cartman's DistaffCounterpart because of the constant all of the above.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Was the Gentle Girl to Cartman's Brooding Boy.
* CharacterDevelopment: Similar to Butters' transformation from low-scale bully in seasons 2 and 3 into a nerdy, self-conscious {{Pollyanna}}, Heidi goes from a judgmental AlphaBitch first shown in "Marjorine" to a humble NiceGirl after quitting Twitter and hooking up with Cartman. However, her self-esteem has also drastically decreased making her submissive to Cartman's abuse. This eventually causes her to adopt Cartman's personality making her nastier than she ever was before. However, she learns how much Cartman's influence changed her, which makes her come to her senses and give her the courage to stand up to Cartman, not cull to his demands, and break up with him for good. She also made a genuine effort to rid herself of the negative attributes, losing her obesity in "The Problem With A Poo" as well as her bigotry in "Cupid Ye" where disregards Cartman's anti-semitic remarks and doesn't get brainwashed into attacking Kyle.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn:
** Was shown to be an AlphaBitch who picked on the "new girl"[[note]]whom was really Butters DisguisedInDrag[[/note]] in "Marjorine" and ridiculed Lisa Berger for her insecurity in "The Hobbit", but as the show entered its 20th season she has been shown to be nicer.
** She was shown with numerous different parents throughout the series. Even after her properly renamed introduction in "Marjorine" where her parents are revealed, she was still shown with different parents in "Cartoon Wars Part II", "La Petit Tourette", and "Medicinal Fried Chicken".
** In "Follow That Egg!", she hates Cartman as much as everyone else, and is upset about being paired with him on the egg project.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Emoji Analysis lets her see meaningful patterns in absolutely anything, even things she does not understand (such as [[spoiler:the engineering problems that need to be overcome in order to reach Mars), to the point of being able to correct the equations herself]], by replacing what is to her meaningless data with something else, which lets her know that [[spoiler:two lines in the equations are misaligned]], and even lets her produce the season's DeusExMachina.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Besides a hatless, Blink-and-miss cameo in "Board Girls" and a brief mention in "Basic Cable", she was been completely absent in Seasons 23 and not even appearing in school assembly scenes and being completely absent when her parents are shown. This is also the case with Season 25, in which she only appeared in "Pajama Day" (the first episode) and was absent the rest of the season.
* ClassicalAntiHero: While Heidi is a genuinely kind and thoughtful girl, she also has numerous flaws such as naivete, insecurity, and {{Pride}} that allowed her to be manipulated by a lot of people, like Cartman. In "Splatty Tomato" Heidi starts to overcome this upon realizing she can't rely on other people to make choices for her, and must learn to make her own decisions, leading to her choice to finally break up with Cartman.
* CommutingOnABus: After being a main character in Seasons 20 and 21, her role is greatly reduced afterward where she might make a brief appearance in a few episodes while not appearing in others.
* CoordinatedClothes: In Season 20, she was always shown wearing matching clothes when she was with her boyfriend Cartman.
* TheCorruptible: As of "Doubling Down", Cartman starts slowly turning her into a female version of himself, tricking her into eating unhealthy foods to make her fatter and convincing her that Kyle (and Jews in general) are terrible people (after Kyle nearly convinced her to leave Cartman). Thankfully she learns how listening to Cartman has negatively changed her health so she decides not to believe him anymore after breaking up with him, and by "Cupid Ye" she no longer buys into Cartman's lies nor gets brainwashed into attacking Kyle.
* TheCutie: As a shy, socially timid and naive girl, she definitely qualifies. Became downplayed after she became a DistaffCounterpart to her FatBastard boyfriend, [[GrewASpine eventually mustered up the courage to confront Cartman's toxic influence]], breaking up with him, and gets DemotedToExtra in Season 22 (though she returns to her cute look).
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Damned" gives her much more focus than almost every other episode in the series combined. In general, Seasons 20 and 21 is this for her; she contributes to those storylines and is important to half of the main cast, especially Cartman, her boyfriend. Not bad for somebody who was lucky to have anything resembling a role aside from being a minor character for 17 years.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the ButtMonkey trope. Heidi goes through numerous hardships throughout Seasons 20 and 21, which include being cyberbullied by [=Skankhunt42=], getting emotionally abused by her boyfriend, and being picked on by her friends. Eventually, she snaps and becomes Cartman's DistaffCounterpart deciding to get back at those who have mistreated her.
* DefrostingIceQueen: While earlier episodes such as "Follow That Egg!" show Heidi contemptuous of Cartman, when she becomes promoted to the main cast starting in Season 20 and starts dating him, she treats him very kindly. By Season 21, Cartman got irritated by how overly affectionate Heidi is towards him and ends up turning her into a female version of him.
* DemotedToExtra: From Season 22 onwards, Heidi returns to her old role as a background character.
* DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest: She started the show off as an AlphaBitch. After quitting Twitter and becoming an OfficialCouple with Cartman, the only real development she gets is "is Cartman's girlfriend". While Season 21 attempts to downplay this by giving her more development, most of her character revolves around Cartman.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Her relationship with Cartman in Season 20 and 21 is the focal point for both those seasons and her importance in them is second only to that of her boyfriend.
* DistaffCounterpart: By Episode 8 of Season 21, she's essentially become a female Cartman, becoming obese and adopting all his prejudices, selfishness, and casual cruelty. This causes her HeelRealization and becomes one of the reasons why she broke up with Cartman in "Splatty Tomato".
* TheDogBitesBack: Cartman is an asshole who brainwashed her into becoming his DistaffCounterpart. That said, he learns the hard way what the rest of the protagonists have to deal with, and it's obvious she becomes the one who wears the pants in their relationship.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Used to have black hair, rather than light brown, flip-flopped between the colors for a while, and had no coat.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: By Season 22 she’s out of an abusive relationship, has lost all the weight she gained last season, and is a NiceGirl again. While she returns to her old role as a [[DemotedToExtra background character]], this is probably for the best given how much she suffered as a main character, especially as Cartman's girlfriend.
* EvilVegetarian: Not at first, but she still claims to be a vegan after her TookALevelInJerkass. Subverted because Cartman tricked her into eating meat.
* FallenHeroine: Originally one of the kindest characters in South Park and one of the leading heroes in Season 20, by the next season Cartman's influence has turned her into his DistaffCounterpart turning all her kindness into complete jerkassery. [[HeelRealization She eventually realizes how far she has fallen]], when Kyle declares he could ''never'' have any feelings for the person she has become.
* FatBitch: Due to Cartman's influence, she becomes both obese and a terrible person by "Moss Piglets". this [[HeelRealization changes]] in "Splatty Tomato" and by "A Problem With A Poo" she's [[FormerlyFat no longer fat]].
* FatalFlaw: Heidi's response to her female friends mocking her for [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim her interest in Cartman]] is to [[SelfFulfillingProphecy double down on staying committed to the relationship]], even as it grows increasingly more toxic with Cartman gaslighting her.
* FormerBigot: After breaking up with Cartman, Heidi seems to have gotten rid of the bigotry Cartman had previously passed on to her. This is all but confirmed in "Cupid Ye" when Heidi responds to Cartman making anti-semitic remarks by simply to disregard them. Enforced when Cupid Ye brainwashes the majority of students to become anti-semitic, Heidi is not among the crowd of kids that gang up on Kyle.
* FormerlyFat: By Season 22, she has lost all the fat she gained last season and is now healthy again.
* FormerlyFit: She was healthy eating a vegan diet. However, Cartman tricked her into eating "Beyond" KFC and "Beyond" Arbys and she became nearly as fat as him. Inverted in Season 22 where she's skinny again.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: What Heidi learns at the end of "Splatty Tomato". Even though she suffered a mentally abusive relationship with Eric Cartman, it doesn't mean she can become a horrible person. She decides to end this problem once and for all by breaking up with Cartman for good.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: After becoming Cartman's DistaffCounterpart, her female friends begin to detest her for her cruel behavior, to the point that Wendy of all people ends up rooting for Cartman when the two have a fistfight.
* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: After hooking up with Cartman, she all of a sudden stopped hanging out with the girls and is almost only shown with her boyfriend now. This is probably explanatory though since she didn't want to get involved with the drama of the gender war that her friends were participating in and instead wanted to put an end to it alongside Cartman (who felt the same way about said gender war). She returns to the girls after breaking up with Cartman in "Splatty Tomato".
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Heidi is one of the more girly girls, but she also partakes in activities, like playing ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyWorldAtWar'' in the computer lab, watching ''Terrence and Phillip'' Netflix premier [[OneOfTheBoys with the boys]], and judging science fairs, which aren't considered to be feminine.
* GrewASpine: After dealing with Cartman's abuse throughout Season 21 and being converted into his DistaffCounterpart, Heidi finally grows her own in "Splatty Tomato" when she makes it clear that they are breaking up for good, even ignoring his suicide threats that originally kept her from leaving.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Has a tendency to switch from a NiceGirl to a {{Jerkass}}. She had made her debut in "Rainforest Shmainforest" but wasn't given much characterization making her neutral on the moral spectrum. Then she was given her first major appearance in "Marjorine" where she shows herself to be quite an AlphaBitch amongst her friends making her a Heel which lasted until "Skank Hunt" which gives her [[AscendedExtra more prominence]] and [[TookALevelInKindness becomes much nicer]]. Then after [[OfficialCouple becoming Cartman's girlfriend]] and [[ToxicFriendInfluence letting his influence turn her]] into his DistaffCounterpart she becomes a Heel once more in "Moss Piglets" which lasts until "Splatty Tomato" where she gets a HeelRealization and breaks up with Cartman for good making her a Face once more.
* HeelRealization: After Kyle declares he can never love her current self in Season 21's finale, Heidi begins to look back on how she got to the point of being a female Cartman, realizing how he slowly destroyed her mentally and physically including attempts of murder. Heidi has enough and breaks up with Cartman for good, no longer wishing to be the victim.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Ultimately, the main reason why Heidi becomes a [[DistaffCounterpart female Cartman]] isn't actually Cartman but is instead her own {{Pride}}. She doesn't want to admit that she made a bad decision dating Cartman, and when her friends mock her about that matter she chooses to go back to Cartman and believe his lies. She [[HeelRealization eventually realizes]] that it was her own fault that she deteriorated so much, both physically and mentally, and decides to make the logical decision to break up with Cartman for good.
* HonorBeforeReason: Kyle eventually realizes that the reason she won't break up with Cartman despite the horrible way he treats her is because she doesn't want to have to admit to the other girls that they were right and dating him was a bad idea. When she does, she gets frustrated when the girls go a little too far in [[IToldYouSo teasing Heidi about dating Cartman, which causes her to go back to Cartman and buy his lies]]. Basically she would rather suffer in an abusive and manipulative relationship than swallow her pride and own up to her mistakes. Thankfully, she does realize how much this way of thinking has changed her, so she decides to finally own up to her mistakes by breaking up with Cartman for good.
* HonorThyAbuser: In "Doubling Down" Heidi decides to accept Cartman's abuse and begins to adopt his personality, which leads to her transformation into his DistaffCounterpart. Subverted in "Splatty Tomato" when she learns that it's ''not'' okay to accept the abuse and adopting said abuser's personality, leading to her decision to dump her abuser.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Goes with the territory of being Cartman's girlfriend. Though to her credit, Cartman was a genuinely nice boyfriend in the beginning of their relationship. Something she actually points out shortly before breaking up with him for good.
* IdiotSavant: PlayedWith. She's certainly not an idiot, despite her seeming lack of social skills, but her skills in Emoji Analysis and String Theory make her a savant.
* IHatePastMe: Throughout "Splatty Tomato" Heidi constantly switches from fondly remembering her more naive and happier self to showing nothing but bitterness and contempt for her.
* InformedAttribute: In-universe example. Her boyfriend Cartman was constantly telling her and everyone else how "smart and funny" she was in Season 20. While she ''is'' shown to be quite smart, she never really says or does anything funny, which she and other characters pointed out.
* InformedDeformity: Wendy says that she has a flat butt in "The Hobbit", but much like the rest of the people she insulted, that feature doesn't seem to apply to her and hasn't been looked into any further.
* InnocentBigot: Thanks to [[TheCorrupter Cartman]], who manages to brainwash her into sharing his anti-Semitism. She still acts sweet and polite to Kyle as she breaks up with him, but he immediately realizes she essentially called him a "dirty Jew." She drops the innocent part by the next episode.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Once Cartman convinces everyone that she's their only hope to get to Mars in "Not Funny", she pretty clearly knows that she's been forced into something far beyond her own abilities.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Heidi does her moments of being an abrasive bitch, she's usually portrayed as a NiceGirl, especially during Season 20 and the first half of Season 21, while her moments of rudeness comes across as Heidi being InnocentlyInsensitive rather than being genuinely malicious. Even at her worse when she became Cartman's DistaffCounterpart, her heart of gold still shines through when she realizes that Cartman's a bad influence and breaks up with him, before making genuinely healthy changes to improve her life.
* JerkassRealization: In Season 21's finale, Heidi realizes how horrible she has become thanks to Cartman's influence on her in the aforementioned season.
* LesserOfTwoEvils: While initially presented as "worse" than Cartman, she is in truth was never as evil as him. She did inherit Cartman's obesity, bigotry, and {{Jerkass}} tendencies, but she does get a HeelRealization, redeems herself, and breaks up with Cartman before he could further corrupt her into inheriting his more twisted traits, such as his sadism and sociopathy, while managing to rid herself of Cartman traits she did inherit, going back to being a NiceGirl and getting a second chance of happiness. In contrast Cartman never truly learns his lessons and will progressively get worse until he becomes a lonely homeless drunk forever while Butters considers him BeyondRedemption.
* LivingProp: Though not completely silent, Heidi was mostly a background character prior to Season 20. She returns to being this after season 21.
* LovableAlphaBitch: She usually hangs out with the popular girls and has been shown to pick on girls less popular than her like Marjorine[[note]] Butters DisguisedInDrag[[/note]] and Lisa Burger. That said she isn't completely heartless as she did apologize to the former for her behavior, she shows a more kinder and vulnerable side of her personality after quitting Twitter and becoming a social outcast.
* LoveMartyr: During Season 21, she continually puts up with Cartman's mistreatment of her and refuses to break up with him, even allowing him to transform her into his DistaffCounterpart. She finally ends their relationship for good in "Splatty Tomato".
* LovingAShadow: What her feelings for Cartman amount to. She hooks up with Cartman just because they were both social outcasts and felt it was better to be victims than face reality. It gets to the point where they both TookALevelInJerkass in Season 21 because of how much they enjoyed PlayingTheVictimCard. When Heidi goes back to all the landmarks that brought her and Cartman together in "Splatty Tomato" she realizes that she doesn't truly love Cartman, but liked that he gave her a reason to engage in self-victimization. Because of this, she breaks up with Cartman, no longer wanting to be the victim.
* MaybeEverAfter: While she hasn't interacted with Kyle after "Splatty Tomato", her return to her old healthy NiceGirl self after breaking up with Cartman, sitting near Kyle in "The Problem With a Poo", and Kyle being married with kids in the revised future suggests the possibility that the two may eventually get together.
* MeaningfulName: Her last name "Turner" signifies how her appearance, personality, and importance in the show keep on changing. Her first appearance has her be a background character with black hair and [[LivingProp no personality]] before "turning" her into a brunette with an AlphaBitch personality in "Majorine", though still seldom used. Then she [[AscendedExtra gets promoted to a main character]] during Seasons 20 and 21 "turning" into a NiceGirl with a hat before her [[ToxicFriendInfluence boyfriend's influence]] "turns" her into a [[FatBastard Fat]] {{Jerkass}} like him. After breaking up with Cartman and by Season 22 she "turns" back to her old self and is once again a background character, though she still wears her hat. Then she loses her hat in Season 23, only to wear it again in the "Pandemic Special".
* MoralityPet: She tried to taper Cartman's meaner qualities and encouraged him to become a better person. It's then tragically subverted when Cartman regresses back to his old ways and [[ToxicFriendInfluence gaslights her]] into becoming a fat, anti-semitic jerk [[DistaffCounterpart like him]].
* MustMakeAmends: Possibly with her girlfriends and Kyle in Season 22. While they aren't seen conversing, given that she's setting near them in the music room and school assembly respectively in "The Problem With A Poo" suggests that she's trying to make amends for mistreating them last season.
* NiceGirl: Going hand-in-hand with her constant attempts to help people on a large scale, there doesn't seem to be a single person Heidi dislikes. Even Cartman. ''[[OfficialCouple Especially]]'' [[SickeninglySweethearts Cartman]]. Unfortunately by "Moss Piglets", she has [[TookALevelInJerkass changed]], until she has a HeelRealization and breaks up with Cartman. She seems to have reverted back to this since she hasn't been making any conflicts post-breakup, happily celebrates her friends beating Heather Swanson in "Board Girls", hangs with her friends again, including those she had insulted before, and doesn't join with the other children in attacking Kyle in "Cupid Ye". She could not even watch Butters get brutalized by her own friend Bebe when noticing the two fighting in "World Wide Privacy Tour".
* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: In contrast to previously taking Cartman back when threatens to kill himself in "Put It Down", she firmly states that's not going to work and leaves when Cartman pull this stunt again in "Splatty Tomato" making it clear to him that this time they are breaking up for good.
* NoSell: Due to having been gaslighted by Cartman during their relationship, she has learned how manipulative Cartman really is and is now one of the very few people to be completely immune to Cartman's manipulations. This is shown at the end of "Splatty Tomato" when Cartman threatens to kill himself if she broke up with him, Heidi is completely unconvinced and leaves him as well as "Cupid Ye" where Heidi ignores Cartman's spew of bigotry towards Kyle and does not get brainwashed by Cartman's alter-ego, Cupid Me, into becoming anti-Semitic and attack Kyle
* NotSoSimilar: Despite becoming like Cartman, "Splatty Tomato" shows that Heidi has one important difference. Unlike Cartman, Heidi would learn would to take responsibility for her own actions after showing remorse, making positive changes that would allow her to change back to her healthy and happy NiceGirl self by "The Problem With a Poo" onwards, while Cartman refuses to do so and continue to blame others for his own faults even when he becomes a bitter and miserable hobo. In short terms, while both have the potential of becoming awful, Heidi is at least capable of genuine growth and change, allowing herself a second chance at happiness, while Cartman isn't and remain the same even in adulthood, while forever dooming himself to a lifetime of misery.
* OddFriendship: Develops one with Cartman after they both go off Twitter, which eventually evolves into a relationship.
* OfficialCouple: With ''Eric Cartman'', of all people. However, the relationship ends in “Splatty Tomato” when she breaks up with Cartman for good.
* OutOfFocus: After breaking up with Cartman, Heidi's focus in the show has been significantly reduced to about a handful of cameos. She only appears in two episodes during Season 22 and is only mentioned and appears ''once'' in Seasons 23 and 25.
* PetTheDog:
** She is seen celebrating the girl's victory over Heather in "Board Girls", a noticeable contrast to how Heidi previously mistreated them in "Moss Piglets".
** She doesn't join the rest of the kids in attacking Kyle when Cupid Ye brainwashes them with anti-semitism in "Cupid Ye", which contrast to when Heidi previously called Kyle a dirty jew before dumping him and would continue to insult him afterwards.
* PingPongNaivete: Is smart enough to figure out how to uncover anybody's identity online, and create the energy source required to go to Mars, but doesn't know that [[LessDisturbingInContext showing her private parts to a boy she barely knows]] is inappropriate behavior. These events happen in the same season.
* PinkMeansFeminine: She wears a pink hat and played the AlphaBitch role in her earlier appearances, and then TheCutie role when she became an AscendedExtra in Season 20, both of which are typically associated with female characters. She even has a pink bike.
* PluckyGirl: Despite all the hardships she endured in Seasons 20 and 21, that didn't stop her from reverting back to her old personality, losing the fat she gained, and getting rid of all the Cartman attributes by Season 22. The fact that she's riding a very girly bike in "Bike Parade" as if nothing bad happened to her and happily cheering for her friends in "Board Girls" cements her as this.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: She starts spewing ableist and classist rhetoric in "Moss Piglets". She sheds this trope after pulling her HeelFaceTurn and by "Cupid Ye" Heidi completely disregards Cartman's anti-semitic remarks and doesn't get brainwashed into attacking Kyle by Cupid Ye.
* {{Pride}}: The reason why she doesn't want to break up with Cartman, even if she knows he's a bad influence for her. Eventually, she learns to forgo her pride upon realizing how much it cost her, both physically and mentally, and breaks up with Cartman.
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: Season 21 gives the most focus to her deteriorating relationship with Cartman and how it transformed her from a NiceGirl to her boyfriend's DistaffCounterpart. Subverted when she gets a HeelRealization and breaks up with Cartman.
* ReformedBully: After breaking up with Cartman when she realizes he's a [[ToxicFriendInfluence bad influence for her]] and ridding herself of any Cartman-like traits by Season 22, it's safe to say she's become this trope.
* ReformedButRejected: Even though she's back to her old self by Season 22, her girlfriends don't seem to have forgiven her for her mistreatment of them when she was a [[DistaffCounterpart female Cartman]] (even though it was their mistreatment of her for dating Cartman is why she acted that way) and are trying to avoid her. This includes having one of their acquaintances sit next to her in the school assembly serving as a barrier between her and her quad-let (Wendy, Isla, and Theresa) during "The Problem With A Poo" and not sitting with her during lunch in "The Scoots" and "Let Them Eat Goo". This seems to be subverted in "Board Girls" onwards as the girls allow her to join the Board Girls Club to celebrate Nicole and Tammy's victory with them.
* RiseOfZitboy: After gaining weight, she developed two pimples on her face, probably caused by all of the grease in the KFC Cartman has been feeding her. Though she loses the zits along with her weight gain by "A Problem With a Poo".
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Upon becoming an AscendedExtra during Season 20 and 21, her whole character stems on being Eric Cartman's girlfriend and how her relationship has affected him and herself. After breaking up with Cartman in for the final time in "Splatty Tomato" she reverts back to [[DemotedToExtra her background character]] role.
* ShadowArchetype:
** To Wendy Testabuger. Both are {{Brainy Brunette}}s, had feelings for Eric Cartman, and are the only known female students to wear hats. However, Heidi lacks Wendy's strong will and thus never learned to resolve her feelings for Cartman on her own like Wendy did. As a result, while Wendy was able to keep her positive attributes, lose all her feelings for Cartman, and retain her self-identity, Heidi loses all her attributes and stayed in a romantic relationship with Cartman long enough for his [[ToxicFriendInfluence toxic influence]] to turn her into a [[DistaffCounterpart female version of himself]]. [[spoiler:Though Heidi does break up with Cartman, possibly losing all her feelings for him in the process, and was able to reclaim all her attributes by Season 22.]]
** She's also one for Butters Stotch. Both are kind and innocent {{All Loving Hero}}es, whose naivete are constantly exploited by Cartman and are among the few kids to call him Eric. However, Butters knows better than to stoop to Cartman's level and remains his kind and innocent self. Heidi doesn't and ends up becoming a DistaffCounterpart to Cartman. [[spoiler: Though Heidi does learn like Butters and returns to her old self after breaking up with Cartman.]]
** She's also one to a female [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole New Kid]], in regards to their contrasting relationships with Cartman. While Heidi's relationship with him is romantic, the New Kid has more of a teacher/student bond with him. Heidi came to Cartman and the two bonded over falling off the social media grid while Cartman [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe went out of his way to be nice to the New Kid and thus earned her loyalty]]. [[spoiler: While Heidi broke up with Cartman after realizing what his influence turned her into, The New Kid had no problems with anything Cartman was having her do, until Cartman betrayed her and kidnapped her parents, causing her to lose all respect for him. While Heidi seems to be actively avoiding Cartman after breaking up with him, The New Kid seems to have [[EasilyForgiven forgiven]] Cartman, willing to hang out with him afterward.]]
** Heidi has her own shadow archetype in the form of Eric Cartman. See his [[Characters/SouthParkEricCartman character page for more details]].
* ShesBack: By Season 22, she's back to being a [[FormerlyFat healthy]] [[NiceGirl nice]] [[DemotedToExtra background character]].
* SourOutsideSadInside: Sure she's become the {{Gender Flip}}ped version of her boyfriend Cartman by "Moss Piglets", but that's because she doesn't want to be constantly abused emotionally by her peers and Cartman, even if it means abusing them herself. This is more explored in "Splatty Tomato" where despite acting horrible, she's just so broken.
* StepfordSmiler: She may be all bubbly and happy for most of Season 20, but in "Douche and a Danish" she breaks down crying after her plan to help Denmark turns out to be for nothing, suggesting that she doesn't have very good self-esteem.
* SuddenNameChange: Was originally identified as "Marcy" in "Probably", but was later properly renamed Heidi in "Marjorine".
* TemporarilyAVillain: Her time as a [[DistaffCounterpart female Cartman,]] which started in "Moss Piglets" and lasted until "Splatty Tomato".
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: After being picked on by her friends for going out with Cartman, she decides to let him manipulate her and become his DistaffCounterpart. [[spoiler:She snaps out of it in "Splatty Tomato".]]
* ThrowTheDogABone: After all the suffering she went through in seasons 20 and 21, especially during her time as Cartman's boyfriend, subsequent seasons have decided to just leave her alone by making her a background character. Heidi manages to loose all the fat she had previously gained, is seemingly back to being a NiceGirl, appears to be back on good terms with her girlfriends, Kyle no longer seems to hold any contempt on what Heidi did before, and Heidi is never shown to suffer any abuse nor slapstick.
* TookALevelInBadass: As of "Splatty Tomato" she has abandoned the victim mindset and no longer has any problems dumping Cartman.
* TookALevelInKindness: Prior to Season 20, she could be unkind to the point of cruelty. After Season 20, however, she's arguably one of the nicest of the 4th-grade girls. She loses a level again in Season 21 after adopting Cartman's personality, but regains it after dumping him.
* TookALevelInJerkass: By "Moss Piglets" in Season 21, she has become a female version of Cartman. [[SubvertedTrope However,]] it serves more as a [[HiddenHeartOfGold defense mechanism]] to endure all the emotional stress given to her rather than becoming genuinely malicious. When she [[HeelRealization realizes]] that [[BecomingTheMask she took it too far]], she decides to resolve this issue by breaking up with Cartman.
* TroubledAbuser: After being abused by Cartman for the majority of Season 21, she starts adopting his personality and began abusing him.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: When she gave her "Emoji Analysis" to [[PsychopathicManChild Lennart Bedrager]], she didn't know that he'd use it to cause mass hysteria and a world war.
* WhatHaveIBecome: After hearing Kyle's ArmorPiercingResponse in "Splatty Tomato", she becomes disgusted with herself for becoming Cartman's DistaffCounterpart. At first, she blames Cartman and prepares to kill him for, in her own words, "turning me into this!" However, she soon realizes that it was her "I'm a victim" attitude that resulted in her deteriorated state.
* WeakWilled: Her biggest flaw aside from her {{Pride}}. She is so insecure about what she is that it was very easy for Cartman to convince her into becoming his DistaffCounterpart. Her CharacterDevelopment involves her becoming more confident in herself leading to her choice to [[spoiler: break up with Cartman, thus removing this aspect from her personality]].
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Kyle. The two developed romantic feelings for each other in "Doubling Down" and briefly dated before Heidi goes back to Cartman leaving their romance unresolved, even after Heidi breaks up with Cartman for good. Even when Kyle gets married and has children in the revised future, Heidi is nowhere to be seen making it unclear if Kyle married Heidi or another woman.
* YouExclamation: She gives this to Cartman near the end of "Splatty Tomato".
* YouKilledMyFather: Averted. Her father is killed in "Probably" because of Cartman's [[NoOSHACompliance negligence]], but, as shown in Season 20, she doesn't seem to hold it against him, or even remember it. She is shown with different, living, parents in other episodes. [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Either her mother remarried, or the writers just reused Heidi's character model for generic girls early on]].

[[quoteright:285:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hatheidi_8.png]]
[[caption-width-right:285:Heidi as of Season 20.[[note]]Prior to "Skank Hunt", she did not wear a hat.[[/note]]]]
-> "''Eric!, Hey, I got us chocolate milks!''"
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Jessica Makinson
->'''Voiced in French by:''' Marie-Laure Beneston
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Margarita Coego (Season 9), Arianna López (Season 17), María José Estévez (Season 20 onwards)
->'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/SouthParkS3E1RainforestSchmainforest Rainforest Shmainforest]]"
A girl in the same class the four boys attend. She was Eric Cartman's girlfriend for a time. Originally just one of the minor female classmates and a part of Wendy and Bebe's group of friends, she became a much more prominent character in Seasons 20-21.
----
* AdHominem: Employs this tactic constantly during her stint as Cartman's DistaffCounterpart. When Theresa briefly snipes at her, Heidi brings up her family's financial state to put her on the defensive; when Kyle attempts to implore the school to make peace, Heidi [[ShutUpKirk tells to him shut up]] and accuses him of "sounding like his mom"; when Kyle rejects his friends' offer to help him search for his missing brother, Heidi accuses him of simply being bitter over being rejected by her. This last one backfires on her, however, as Kyle turns the tables and disgustedly renounces the idea that he would ever feel any attraction for her, kick-starting her JerkassRealization.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Yes, she does become Cartman's girlfriend, but only because he was actually very kind to her in Season 20. Thus, she did not like when he became a {{Jerkass}} to her in Season 21 leading to her decision to dump Cartman in "Splatty Tomato".
* AllLovingHeroine: Averted in her [[CharacterizationMarchesOn first few appearances]] and during her Cartmanized phase, but played straight in Season 20 and seasons 22 and beyond. Despite being part of the popular clique, Heidi takes a warm-hearted approach to anyone and everyone she can, even if said people aren't exactly approachable themselves. When Butters is getting thrashed by Bebe in "Worldwide Privacy Tour," she's horrified and looks away, seemingly waiting for the fight to dissipate on its own, and in "Cupid Ye", Cartman's anti-semitic horseshit doesn't corrupt her even after it escalates to Cupid Ye taking matters into his own hands by brainwashing basically the entire fourth-grade.
* AmicableExes:
** {{Implied}} with Kyle after Season 21. While they haven't been seen interacting with each other since then nor is there any evidence that shows them having gotten back together, they don't seem to harbor any negative feelings towards each other. This is shown in "The Problem With A Poo" where the two are shown willing to sit near each other in the music room without showing any hostility, while in "Cupid Ye" Heidi doesn't listen to Cartman's anti-semitic remarks about Kyle nor does she gets brainwashed by Cupid Me into attacking Kyle like most of the other kids.
** Averted with Cartman. After their break-up in "Splatty Tomato" Heidi seems to be avoiding him as much as possible, sitting far away from him during the music room and the school assembly in "The Problem With A Poo". Likewise, Cartman claims to have anxiety in "Buddha Box" because he can't stand people anymore (including Heidi), insults her and the other girls in "Board Girls" for reading rule books to win at board games, and when Scott Malkinson brings up their relationship in "Basic Cable", Cartman compares it to diabetes times 10, possibly still holding Heidi in contempt for breaking up with him.
* ArcHero: Of the Cartman-Heidi relationship arc that dominated Seasons 20 and 21. She's the central character in that StoryArc and gets the most CharacterDevelopment out of anyone there. Unsurprisingly, after the story arc ends she [[DemotedToExtra returns to her previous role as a background character.]]
* AscendedExtra: Has been around ever since Season 3, but was mostly a background character. However, as the series progressed, she got a fair amount of prominence and speaking roles. In fact, she played a fairly big role in the Season 9 episode "Marjorine". Despite this, however, her personality and limelight had not been fully established until Season 20.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: In Season 20, she is shown to have invented an entire method of cryptographic analysis in order to uncover the identity of [=skankhunt42=]. Not bad for [[ChildProdigy a ten-year-old]]. Taken [[ExaggeratedTrope Up to Eleven]] when dealing with the issues at [=SpaceX=]; she manages to create a source of energy that can power humanity's trip to Mars, and later saves the world from [=TrollTrace=] by having done so.
* BaitAndSwitchSuicide: In "Skank Hunt", she looks suicidal when she's shown at the edge of a bridge, but she was really just quitting Twitter and throwing her phone into the river.
* BeastAndBeauty: A rare non-monster example. She was the beauty to Cartman's beast. She's a kind, compassionate and friendly girl while Cartman is a rude, selfish, [[HairTriggerTemper tempermental]] [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk with a heart of jerk]].
* BeingEvilSucks: In "Splatty Tomato", Heidi realizes that being Cartman's DistaffCounterpart and mocking others never made her happy, which led to her decision to break up with Cartman and revert back to her healthy NiceGirl self afterward.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Contrast the kind, caring, naive, and healthy girl she once was before dating Cartman to the bitter, resentful, bigoted, and fat {{Jerkass}} she became while dating him. "Splatty Tomato" in particular points this out.
* BrainyBrunette: She has brown hair, and is quite smart for someone her age, having found a way to travel to Mars and is been described by Mr. Mackey as the school’s best science student.
* BrattyHalfPint: She showed shades of this in Season 9's "Marjorine", in which she throws a fit over her mom inviting the "new girl" to her slumber party.
-->'''Heidi''': Mom, I didn't invite her!
* BreakoutCharacter: Originally just one of the more minor characters, becoming Cartman's girlfriend has made her extremely popular with the fanbase, promoting her status to a major character even obtaining a hat of her own.
* BrokenBird: She becomes one by Season 21. She failed to stop [=Skankhunt42=] last season, is frequently picked on by the other girls and is stuck in an emotionally abusive relationship with Cartman. She tries to cope with all of this by becoming a female version of her boyfriend, only to realize how much she has changed from the {{Nice G|uy}}irl she was before. Because of this, she breaks up with Cartman for good.
* BrokenHero: Despite getting viciously trolled, shunned by her friends, and mentally abused by Cartman, she still tries her see the best in everyone and goes out of her way to help those in need. That said, she does have her breaking point and becomes Cartman's DistaffCounterpart because of the constant all of the above.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Was the Gentle Girl to Cartman's Brooding Boy.
* CharacterDevelopment: Similar to Butters' transformation from low-scale bully in seasons 2 and 3 into a nerdy, self-conscious {{Pollyanna}}, Heidi goes from a judgmental AlphaBitch first shown in "Marjorine" to a humble NiceGirl after quitting Twitter and hooking up with Cartman. However, her self-esteem has also drastically decreased making her submissive to Cartman's abuse. This eventually causes her to adopt Cartman's personality making her nastier than she ever was before. However, she learns how much Cartman's influence changed her, which makes her come to her senses and give her the courage to stand up to Cartman, not cull to his demands, and break up with him for good. She also made a genuine effort to rid herself of the negative attributes, losing her obesity in "The Problem With A Poo" as well as her bigotry in "Cupid Ye" where disregards Cartman's anti-semitic remarks and doesn't get brainwashed into attacking Kyle.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn:
** Was shown to be an AlphaBitch who picked on the "new girl"[[note]]whom was really Butters DisguisedInDrag[[/note]] in "Marjorine" and ridiculed Lisa Berger for her insecurity in "The Hobbit", but as the show entered its 20th season she has been shown to be nicer.
** She was shown with numerous different parents throughout the series. Even after her properly renamed introduction in "Marjorine" where her parents are revealed, she was still shown with different parents in "Cartoon Wars Part II", "La Petit Tourette", and "Medicinal Fried Chicken".
** In "Follow That Egg!", she hates Cartman as much as everyone else, and is upset about being paired with him on the egg project.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Emoji Analysis lets her see meaningful patterns in absolutely anything, even things she does not understand (such as [[spoiler:the engineering problems that need to be overcome in order to reach Mars), to the point of being able to correct the equations herself]], by replacing what is to her meaningless data with something else, which lets her know that [[spoiler:two lines in the equations are misaligned]], and even lets her produce the season's DeusExMachina.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Besides a hatless, Blink-and-miss cameo in "Board Girls" and a brief mention in "Basic Cable", she was been completely absent in Seasons 23 and not even appearing in school assembly scenes and being completely absent when her parents are shown. This is also the case with Season 25, in which she only appeared in "Pajama Day" (the first episode) and was absent the rest of the season.
* ClassicalAntiHero: While Heidi is a genuinely kind and thoughtful girl, she also has numerous flaws such as naivete, insecurity, and {{Pride}} that allowed her to be manipulated by a lot of people, like Cartman. In "Splatty Tomato" Heidi starts to overcome this upon realizing she can't rely on other people to make choices for her, and must learn to make her own decisions, leading to her choice to finally break up with Cartman.
* CommutingOnABus: After being a main character in Seasons 20 and 21, her role is greatly reduced afterward where she might make a brief appearance in a few episodes while not appearing in others.
* CoordinatedClothes: In Season 20, she was always shown wearing matching clothes when she was with her boyfriend Cartman.
* TheCorruptible: As of "Doubling Down", Cartman starts slowly turning her into a female version of himself, tricking her into eating unhealthy foods to make her fatter and convincing her that Kyle (and Jews in general) are terrible people (after Kyle nearly convinced her to leave Cartman). Thankfully she learns how listening to Cartman has negatively changed her health so she decides not to believe him anymore after breaking up with him, and by "Cupid Ye" she no longer buys into Cartman's lies nor gets brainwashed into attacking Kyle.
* TheCutie: As a shy, socially timid and naive girl, she definitely qualifies. Became downplayed after she became a DistaffCounterpart to her FatBastard boyfriend, [[GrewASpine eventually mustered up the courage to confront Cartman's toxic influence]], breaking up with him, and gets DemotedToExtra in Season 22 (though she returns to her cute look).
* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Damned" gives her much more focus than almost every other episode in the series combined. In general, Seasons 20 and 21 is this for her; she contributes to those storylines and is important to half of the main cast, especially Cartman, her boyfriend. Not bad for somebody who was lucky to have anything resembling a role aside from being a minor character for 17 years.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the ButtMonkey trope. Heidi goes through numerous hardships throughout Seasons 20 and 21, which include being cyberbullied by [=Skankhunt42=], getting emotionally abused by her boyfriend, and being picked on by her friends. Eventually, she snaps and becomes Cartman's DistaffCounterpart deciding to get back at those who have mistreated her.
* DefrostingIceQueen: While earlier episodes such as "Follow That Egg!" show Heidi contemptuous of Cartman, when she becomes promoted to the main cast starting in Season 20 and starts dating him, she treats him very kindly. By Season 21, Cartman got irritated by how overly affectionate Heidi is towards him and ends up turning her into a female version of him.
* DemotedToExtra: From Season 22 onwards, Heidi returns to her old role as a background character.
* DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest: She started the show off as an AlphaBitch. After quitting Twitter and becoming an OfficialCouple with Cartman, the only real development she gets is "is Cartman's girlfriend". While Season 21 attempts to downplay this by giving her more development, most of her character revolves around Cartman.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Her relationship with Cartman in Season 20 and 21 is the focal point for both those seasons and her importance in them is second only to that of her boyfriend.
* DistaffCounterpart: By Episode 8 of Season 21, she's essentially become a female Cartman, becoming obese and adopting all his prejudices, selfishness, and casual cruelty. This causes her HeelRealization and becomes one of the reasons why she broke up with Cartman in "Splatty Tomato".
* TheDogBitesBack: Cartman is an asshole who brainwashed her into becoming his DistaffCounterpart. That said, he learns the hard way what the rest of the protagonists have to deal with, and it's obvious she becomes the one who wears the pants in their relationship.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Used to have black hair, rather than light brown, flip-flopped between the colors for a while, and had no coat.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: By Season 22 she’s out of an abusive relationship, has lost all the weight she gained last season, and is a NiceGirl again. While she returns to her old role as a [[DemotedToExtra background character]], this is probably for the best given how much she suffered as a main character, especially as Cartman's girlfriend.
* EvilVegetarian: Not at first, but she still claims to be a vegan after her TookALevelInJerkass. Subverted because Cartman tricked her into eating meat.
* FallenHeroine: Originally one of the kindest characters in South Park and one of the leading heroes in Season 20, by the next season Cartman's influence has turned her into his DistaffCounterpart turning all her kindness into complete jerkassery. [[HeelRealization She eventually realizes how far she has fallen]], when Kyle declares he could ''never'' have any feelings for the person she has become.
* FatBitch: Due to Cartman's influence, she becomes both obese and a terrible person by "Moss Piglets". this [[HeelRealization changes]] in "Splatty Tomato" and by "A Problem With A Poo" she's [[FormerlyFat no longer fat]].
* FatalFlaw: Heidi's response to her female friends mocking her for [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim her interest in Cartman]] is to [[SelfFulfillingProphecy double down on staying committed to the relationship]], even as it grows increasingly more toxic with Cartman gaslighting her.
* FormerBigot: After breaking up with Cartman, Heidi seems to have gotten rid of the bigotry Cartman had previously passed on to her. This is all but confirmed in "Cupid Ye" when Heidi responds to Cartman making anti-semitic remarks by simply to disregard them. Enforced when Cupid Ye brainwashes the majority of students to become anti-semitic, Heidi is not among the crowd of kids that gang up on Kyle.
* FormerlyFat: By Season 22, she has lost all the fat she gained last season and is now healthy again.
* FormerlyFit: She was healthy eating a vegan diet. However, Cartman tricked her into eating "Beyond" KFC and "Beyond" Arbys and she became nearly as fat as him. Inverted in Season 22 where she's skinny again.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: What Heidi learns at the end of "Splatty Tomato". Even though she suffered a mentally abusive relationship with Eric Cartman, it doesn't mean she can become a horrible person. She decides to end this problem once and for all by breaking up with Cartman for good.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: After becoming Cartman's DistaffCounterpart, her female friends begin to detest her for her cruel behavior, to the point that Wendy of all people ends up rooting for Cartman when the two have a fistfight.
* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: After hooking up with Cartman, she all of a sudden stopped hanging out with the girls and is almost only shown with her boyfriend now. This is probably explanatory though since she didn't want to get involved with the drama of the gender war that her friends were participating in and instead wanted to put an end to it alongside Cartman (who felt the same way about said gender war). She returns to the girls after breaking up with Cartman in "Splatty Tomato".
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Heidi is one of the more girly girls, but she also partakes in activities, like playing ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyWorldAtWar'' in the computer lab, watching ''Terrence and Phillip'' Netflix premier [[OneOfTheBoys with the boys]], and judging science fairs, which aren't considered to be feminine.
* GrewASpine: After dealing with Cartman's abuse throughout Season 21 and being converted into his DistaffCounterpart, Heidi finally grows her own in "Splatty Tomato" when she makes it clear that they are breaking up for good, even ignoring his suicide threats that originally kept her from leaving.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Has a tendency to switch from a NiceGirl to a {{Jerkass}}. She had made her debut in "Rainforest Shmainforest" but wasn't given much characterization making her neutral on the moral spectrum. Then she was given her first major appearance in "Marjorine" where she shows herself to be quite an AlphaBitch amongst her friends making her a Heel which lasted until "Skank Hunt" which gives her [[AscendedExtra more prominence]] and [[TookALevelInKindness becomes much nicer]]. Then after [[OfficialCouple becoming Cartman's girlfriend]] and [[ToxicFriendInfluence letting his influence turn her]] into his DistaffCounterpart she becomes a Heel once more in "Moss Piglets" which lasts until "Splatty Tomato" where she gets a HeelRealization and breaks up with Cartman for good making her a Face once more.
* HeelRealization: After Kyle declares he can never love her current self in Season 21's finale, Heidi begins to look back on how she got to the point of being a female Cartman, realizing how he slowly destroyed her mentally and physically including attempts of murder. Heidi has enough and breaks up with Cartman for good, no longer wishing to be the victim.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Ultimately, the main reason why Heidi becomes a [[DistaffCounterpart female Cartman]] isn't actually Cartman but is instead her own {{Pride}}. She doesn't want to admit that she made a bad decision dating Cartman, and when her friends mock her about that matter she chooses to go back to Cartman and believe his lies. She [[HeelRealization eventually realizes]] that it was her own fault that she deteriorated so much, both physically and mentally, and decides to make the logical decision to break up with Cartman for good.
* HonorBeforeReason: Kyle eventually realizes that the reason she won't break up with Cartman despite the horrible way he treats her is because she doesn't want to have to admit to the other girls that they were right and dating him was a bad idea. When she does, she gets frustrated when the girls go a little too far in [[IToldYouSo teasing Heidi about dating Cartman, which causes her to go back to Cartman and buy his lies]]. Basically she would rather suffer in an abusive and manipulative relationship than swallow her pride and own up to her mistakes. Thankfully, she does realize how much this way of thinking has changed her, so she decides to finally own up to her mistakes by breaking up with Cartman for good.
* HonorThyAbuser: In "Doubling Down" Heidi decides to accept Cartman's abuse and begins to adopt his personality, which leads to her transformation into his DistaffCounterpart. Subverted in "Splatty Tomato" when she learns that it's ''not'' okay to accept the abuse and adopting said abuser's personality, leading to her decision to dump her abuser.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Goes with the territory of being Cartman's girlfriend. Though to her credit, Cartman was a genuinely nice boyfriend in the beginning of their relationship. Something she actually points out shortly before breaking up with him for good.
* IdiotSavant: PlayedWith. She's certainly not an idiot, despite her seeming lack of social skills, but her skills in Emoji Analysis and String Theory make her a savant.
* IHatePastMe: Throughout "Splatty Tomato" Heidi constantly switches from fondly remembering her more naive and happier self to showing nothing but bitterness and contempt for her.
* InformedAttribute: In-universe example. Her boyfriend Cartman was constantly telling her and everyone else how "smart and funny" she was in Season 20. While she ''is'' shown to be quite smart, she never really says or does anything funny, which she and other characters pointed out.
* InformedDeformity: Wendy says that she has a flat butt in "The Hobbit", but much like the rest of the people she insulted, that feature doesn't seem to apply to her and hasn't been looked into any further.
* InnocentBigot: Thanks to [[TheCorrupter Cartman]], who manages to brainwash her into sharing his anti-Semitism. She still acts sweet and polite to Kyle as she breaks up with him, but he immediately realizes she essentially called him a "dirty Jew." She drops the innocent part by the next episode.
* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Once Cartman convinces everyone that she's their only hope to get to Mars in "Not Funny", she pretty clearly knows that she's been forced into something far beyond her own abilities.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Heidi does her moments of being an abrasive bitch, she's usually portrayed as a NiceGirl, especially during Season 20 and the first half of Season 21, while her moments of rudeness comes across as Heidi being InnocentlyInsensitive rather than being genuinely malicious. Even at her worse when she became Cartman's DistaffCounterpart, her heart of gold still shines through when she realizes that Cartman's a bad influence and breaks up with him, before making genuinely healthy changes to improve her life.
* JerkassRealization: In Season 21's finale, Heidi realizes how horrible she has become thanks to Cartman's influence on her in the aforementioned season.
* LesserOfTwoEvils: While initially presented as "worse" than Cartman, she is in truth was never as evil as him. She did inherit Cartman's obesity, bigotry, and {{Jerkass}} tendencies, but she does get a HeelRealization, redeems herself, and breaks up with Cartman before he could further corrupt her into inheriting his more twisted traits, such as his sadism and sociopathy, while managing to rid herself of Cartman traits she did inherit, going back to being a NiceGirl and getting a second chance of happiness. In contrast Cartman never truly learns his lessons and will progressively get worse until he becomes a lonely homeless drunk forever while Butters considers him BeyondRedemption.
* LivingProp: Though not completely silent, Heidi was mostly a background character prior to Season 20. She returns to being this after season 21.
* LovableAlphaBitch: She usually hangs out with the popular girls and has been shown to pick on girls less popular than her like Marjorine[[note]] Butters DisguisedInDrag[[/note]] and Lisa Burger. That said she isn't completely heartless as she did apologize to the former for her behavior, she shows a more kinder and vulnerable side of her personality after quitting Twitter and becoming a social outcast.
* LoveMartyr: During Season 21, she continually puts up with Cartman's mistreatment of her and refuses to break up with him, even allowing him to transform her into his DistaffCounterpart. She finally ends their relationship for good in "Splatty Tomato".
* LovingAShadow: What her feelings for Cartman amount to. She hooks up with Cartman just because they were both social outcasts and felt it was better to be victims than face reality. It gets to the point where they both TookALevelInJerkass in Season 21 because of how much they enjoyed PlayingTheVictimCard. When Heidi goes back to all the landmarks that brought her and Cartman together in "Splatty Tomato" she realizes that she doesn't truly love Cartman, but liked that he gave her a reason to engage in self-victimization. Because of this, she breaks up with Cartman, no longer wanting to be the victim.
* MaybeEverAfter: While she hasn't interacted with Kyle after "Splatty Tomato", her return to her old healthy NiceGirl self after breaking up with Cartman, sitting near Kyle in "The Problem With a Poo", and Kyle being married with kids in the revised future suggests the possibility that the two may eventually get together.
* MeaningfulName: Her last name "Turner" signifies how her appearance, personality, and importance in the show keep on changing. Her first appearance has her be a background character with black hair and [[LivingProp no personality]] before "turning" her into a brunette with an AlphaBitch personality in "Majorine", though still seldom used. Then she [[AscendedExtra gets promoted to a main character]] during Seasons 20 and 21 "turning" into a NiceGirl with a hat before her [[ToxicFriendInfluence boyfriend's influence]] "turns" her into a [[FatBastard Fat]] {{Jerkass}} like him. After breaking up with Cartman and by Season 22 she "turns" back to her old self and is once again a background character, though she still wears her hat. Then she loses her hat in Season 23, only to wear it again in the "Pandemic Special".
* MoralityPet: She tried to taper Cartman's meaner qualities and encouraged him to become a better person. It's then tragically subverted when Cartman regresses back to his old ways and [[ToxicFriendInfluence gaslights her]] into becoming a fat, anti-semitic jerk [[DistaffCounterpart like him]].
* MustMakeAmends: Possibly with her girlfriends and Kyle in Season 22. While they aren't seen conversing, given that she's setting near them in the music room and school assembly respectively in "The Problem With A Poo" suggests that she's trying to make amends for mistreating them last season.
* NiceGirl: Going hand-in-hand with her constant attempts to help people on a large scale, there doesn't seem to be a single person Heidi dislikes. Even Cartman. ''[[OfficialCouple Especially]]'' [[SickeninglySweethearts Cartman]]. Unfortunately by "Moss Piglets", she has [[TookALevelInJerkass changed]], until she has a HeelRealization and breaks up with Cartman. She seems to have reverted back to this since she hasn't been making any conflicts post-breakup, happily celebrates her friends beating Heather Swanson in "Board Girls", hangs with her friends again, including those she had insulted before, and doesn't join with the other children in attacking Kyle in "Cupid Ye". She could not even watch Butters get brutalized by her own friend Bebe when noticing the two fighting in "World Wide Privacy Tour".
* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: In contrast to previously taking Cartman back when threatens to kill himself in "Put It Down", she firmly states that's not going to work and leaves when Cartman pull this stunt again in "Splatty Tomato" making it clear to him that this time they are breaking up for good.
* NoSell: Due to having been gaslighted by Cartman during their relationship, she has learned how manipulative Cartman really is and is now one of the very few people to be completely immune to Cartman's manipulations. This is shown at the end of "Splatty Tomato" when Cartman threatens to kill himself if she broke up with him, Heidi is completely unconvinced and leaves him as well as "Cupid Ye" where Heidi ignores Cartman's spew of bigotry towards Kyle and does not get brainwashed by Cartman's alter-ego, Cupid Me, into becoming anti-Semitic and attack Kyle
* NotSoSimilar: Despite becoming like Cartman, "Splatty Tomato" shows that Heidi has one important difference. Unlike Cartman, Heidi would learn would to take responsibility for her own actions after showing remorse, making positive changes that would allow her to change back to her healthy and happy NiceGirl self by "The Problem With a Poo" onwards, while Cartman refuses to do so and continue to blame others for his own faults even when he becomes a bitter and miserable hobo. In short terms, while both have the potential of becoming awful, Heidi is at least capable of genuine growth and change, allowing herself a second chance at happiness, while Cartman isn't and remain the same even in adulthood, while forever dooming himself to a lifetime of misery.
* OddFriendship: Develops one with Cartman after they both go off Twitter, which eventually evolves into a relationship.
* OfficialCouple: With ''Eric Cartman'', of all people. However, the relationship ends in “Splatty Tomato” when she breaks up with Cartman for good.
* OutOfFocus: After breaking up with Cartman, Heidi's focus in the show has been significantly reduced to about a handful of cameos. She only appears in two episodes during Season 22 and is only mentioned and appears ''once'' in Seasons 23 and 25.
* PetTheDog:
** She is seen celebrating the girl's victory over Heather in "Board Girls", a noticeable contrast to how Heidi previously mistreated them in "Moss Piglets".
** She doesn't join the rest of the kids in attacking Kyle when Cupid Ye brainwashes them with anti-semitism in "Cupid Ye", which contrast to when Heidi previously called Kyle a dirty jew before dumping him and would continue to insult him afterwards.
* PingPongNaivete: Is smart enough to figure out how to uncover anybody's identity online, and create the energy source required to go to Mars, but doesn't know that [[LessDisturbingInContext showing her private parts to a boy she barely knows]] is inappropriate behavior. These events happen in the same season.
* PinkMeansFeminine: She wears a pink hat and played the AlphaBitch role in her earlier appearances, and then TheCutie role when she became an AscendedExtra in Season 20, both of which are typically associated with female characters. She even has a pink bike.
* PluckyGirl: Despite all the hardships she endured in Seasons 20 and 21, that didn't stop her from reverting back to her old personality, losing the fat she gained, and getting rid of all the Cartman attributes by Season 22. The fact that she's riding a very girly bike in "Bike Parade" as if nothing bad happened to her and happily cheering for her friends in "Board Girls" cements her as this.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: She starts spewing ableist and classist rhetoric in "Moss Piglets". She sheds this trope after pulling her HeelFaceTurn and by "Cupid Ye" Heidi completely disregards Cartman's anti-semitic remarks and doesn't get brainwashed into attacking Kyle by Cupid Ye.
* {{Pride}}: The reason why she doesn't want to break up with Cartman, even if she knows he's a bad influence for her. Eventually, she learns to forgo her pride upon realizing how much it cost her, both physically and mentally, and breaks up with Cartman.
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: Season 21 gives the most focus to her deteriorating relationship with Cartman and how it transformed her from a NiceGirl to her boyfriend's DistaffCounterpart. Subverted when she gets a HeelRealization and breaks up with Cartman.
* ReformedBully: After breaking up with Cartman when she realizes he's a [[ToxicFriendInfluence bad influence for her]] and ridding herself of any Cartman-like traits by Season 22, it's safe to say she's become this trope.
* ReformedButRejected: Even though she's back to her old self by Season 22, her girlfriends don't seem to have forgiven her for her mistreatment of them when she was a [[DistaffCounterpart female Cartman]] (even though it was their mistreatment of her for dating Cartman is why she acted that way) and are trying to avoid her. This includes having one of their acquaintances sit next to her in the school assembly serving as a barrier between her and her quad-let (Wendy, Isla, and Theresa) during "The Problem With A Poo" and not sitting with her during lunch in "The Scoots" and "Let Them Eat Goo". This seems to be subverted in "Board Girls" onwards as the girls allow her to join the Board Girls Club to celebrate Nicole and Tammy's victory with them.
* RiseOfZitboy: After gaining weight, she developed two pimples on her face, probably caused by all of the grease in the KFC Cartman has been feeding her. Though she loses the zits along with her weight gain by "A Problem With a Poo".
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Upon becoming an AscendedExtra during Season 20 and 21, her whole character stems on being Eric Cartman's girlfriend and how her relationship has affected him and herself. After breaking up with Cartman in for the final time in "Splatty Tomato" she reverts back to [[DemotedToExtra her background character]] role.
* ShadowArchetype:
** To Wendy Testabuger. Both are {{Brainy Brunette}}s, had feelings for Eric Cartman, and are the only known female students to wear hats. However, Heidi lacks Wendy's strong will and thus never learned to resolve her feelings for Cartman on her own like Wendy did. As a result, while Wendy was able to keep her positive attributes, lose all her feelings for Cartman, and retain her self-identity, Heidi loses all her attributes and stayed in a romantic relationship with Cartman long enough for his [[ToxicFriendInfluence toxic influence]] to turn her into a [[DistaffCounterpart female version of himself]]. [[spoiler:Though Heidi does break up with Cartman, possibly losing all her feelings for him in the process, and was able to reclaim all her attributes by Season 22.]]
** She's also one for Butters Stotch. Both are kind and innocent {{All Loving Hero}}es, whose naivete are constantly exploited by Cartman and are among the few kids to call him Eric. However, Butters knows better than to stoop to Cartman's level and remains his kind and innocent self. Heidi doesn't and ends up becoming a DistaffCounterpart to Cartman. [[spoiler: Though Heidi does learn like Butters and returns to her old self after breaking up with Cartman.]]
** She's also one to a female [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole New Kid]], in regards to their contrasting relationships with Cartman. While Heidi's relationship with him is romantic, the New Kid has more of a teacher/student bond with him. Heidi came to Cartman and the two bonded over falling off the social media grid while Cartman [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe went out of his way to be nice to the New Kid and thus earned her loyalty]]. [[spoiler: While Heidi broke up with Cartman after realizing what his influence turned her into, The New Kid had no problems with anything Cartman was having her do, until Cartman betrayed her and kidnapped her parents, causing her to lose all respect for him. While Heidi seems to be actively avoiding Cartman after breaking up with him, The New Kid seems to have [[EasilyForgiven forgiven]] Cartman, willing to hang out with him afterward.]]
** Heidi has her own shadow archetype in the form of Eric Cartman. See his [[Characters/SouthParkEricCartman character page for more details]].
* ShesBack: By Season 22, she's back to being a [[FormerlyFat healthy]] [[NiceGirl nice]] [[DemotedToExtra background character]].
* SourOutsideSadInside: Sure she's become the {{Gender Flip}}ped version of her boyfriend Cartman by "Moss Piglets", but that's because she doesn't want to be constantly abused emotionally by her peers and Cartman, even if it means abusing them herself. This is more explored in "Splatty Tomato" where despite acting horrible, she's just so broken.
* StepfordSmiler: She may be all bubbly and happy for most of Season 20, but in "Douche and a Danish" she breaks down crying after her plan to help Denmark turns out to be for nothing, suggesting that she doesn't have very good self-esteem.
* SuddenNameChange: Was originally identified as "Marcy" in "Probably", but was later properly renamed Heidi in "Marjorine".
* TemporarilyAVillain: Her time as a [[DistaffCounterpart female Cartman,]] which started in "Moss Piglets" and lasted until "Splatty Tomato".
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: After being picked on by her friends for going out with Cartman, she decides to let him manipulate her and become his DistaffCounterpart. [[spoiler:She snaps out of it in "Splatty Tomato".]]
* ThrowTheDogABone: After all the suffering she went through in seasons 20 and 21, especially during her time as Cartman's boyfriend, subsequent seasons have decided to just leave her alone by making her a background character. Heidi manages to loose all the fat she had previously gained, is seemingly back to being a NiceGirl, appears to be back on good terms with her girlfriends, Kyle no longer seems to hold any contempt on what Heidi did before, and Heidi is never shown to suffer any abuse nor slapstick.
* TookALevelInBadass: As of "Splatty Tomato" she has abandoned the victim mindset and no longer has any problems dumping Cartman.
* TookALevelInKindness: Prior to Season 20, she could be unkind to the point of cruelty. After Season 20, however, she's arguably one of the nicest of the 4th-grade girls. She loses a level again in Season 21 after adopting Cartman's personality, but regains it after dumping him.
* TookALevelInJerkass: By "Moss Piglets" in Season 21, she has become a female version of Cartman. [[SubvertedTrope However,]] it serves more as a [[HiddenHeartOfGold defense mechanism]] to endure all the emotional stress given to her rather than becoming genuinely malicious. When she [[HeelRealization realizes]] that [[BecomingTheMask she took it too far]], she decides to resolve this issue by breaking up with Cartman.
* TroubledAbuser: After being abused by Cartman for the majority of Season 21, she starts adopting his personality and began abusing him.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: When she gave her "Emoji Analysis" to [[PsychopathicManChild Lennart Bedrager]], she didn't know that he'd use it to cause mass hysteria and a world war.
* WhatHaveIBecome: After hearing Kyle's ArmorPiercingResponse in "Splatty Tomato", she becomes disgusted with herself for becoming Cartman's DistaffCounterpart. At first, she blames Cartman and prepares to kill him for, in her own words, "turning me into this!" However, she soon realizes that it was her "I'm a victim" attitude that resulted in her deteriorated state.
* WeakWilled: Her biggest flaw aside from her {{Pride}}. She is so insecure about what she is that it was very easy for Cartman to convince her into becoming his DistaffCounterpart. Her CharacterDevelopment involves her becoming more confident in herself leading to her choice to [[spoiler: break up with Cartman, thus removing this aspect from her personality]].
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Kyle. The two developed romantic feelings for each other in "Doubling Down" and briefly dated before Heidi goes back to Cartman leaving their romance unresolved, even after Heidi breaks up with Cartman for good. Even when Kyle gets married and has children in the revised future, Heidi is nowhere to be seen making it unclear if Kyle married Heidi or another woman.
* YouExclamation: She gives this to Cartman near the end of "Splatty Tomato".
* YouKilledMyFather: Averted. Her father is killed in "Probably" because of Cartman's [[NoOSHACompliance negligence]], but, as shown in Season 20, she doesn't seem to hold it against him, or even remember it. She is shown with different, living, parents in other episodes. [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Either her mother remarried, or the writers just reused Heidi's character model for generic girls early on]].
