* 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.

Per TRS, Jerkass Facade is deprecated, primarily in favor of Hidden Heart Of Gold.


* TookALevelInJerkass: By "Moss Piglets" in Season 21, she has become a female version of Cartman. [[{{Subverted}} However,]] it serves more as a [[JerkassFacade 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 [[spoiler: by breaking up with Cartman.]]

** 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.]]

* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: After hooking up with Cartman, she all of the 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 was participating in, and instead wanted to put an end to it alongside Cartman (who felt the same way about said gender war).[[spoiler: She returns to the girls after breaking up with Cartman in "Splatty Tomato"]].

* GoodCounterpart: She becomes this for Eric Cartman. Like Cartman, she was a [[FatBastard Fat]] {{Jerkass}} who would use her role as the victim as a way to justify being awful. Unlike him however, Heidi learns how unhealthy this way of thinking is, takes responsibility for her own actions, and can actually make positive changes to improve herself.
