Favourites and more after the cut!
Favorite
Color: Yellow and Green
Entertainment: She's always been a fan of video games and enjoys modding them for fun. She's a big fan of Devin Villareal and got to work with her for an episode of reality TV show Dating Deanna, where she appeared as a guest judge
Drink: Granite Falls Grappo Blanco, a nice white nectar that reminds her of her numerous family vacations in GF as a child.
Pastime: Modding video games is the only part of programming she likes much. Beyond that she loves spending time with her family and her pets, helping sick animals at her clinic, and finding adventures both big and small with her large group of family and friends.
Food: Nesbeets Wellington, Conrad's cottage pie, and spaghetti with Dulce sauce.
Have they...
Passed University: University wasn't available to her when she was training to become a vet. Instead she was largely self-taught and supported with online correspondence courses, firming up her expertise once she purchased the old Brindleton Pawspital from a retiring practice manager named Sorrel Jackson. Because of this, she's since been inspired to start her own clinical veterinary program, an intensive study opportunity for aspiring vets from all over Simlandia!
Had Sex: Yes but only with two men - Ash's father, Malcolm, and her husband Conrad.
Had sex in Public: Ash was conceived in the San Myshuno Observatory, Lavender conceived in the Brindleton Light, and I just caught her and Conrad in a grody old dumpster, so indeed she has!
Got Tattoos: None
Got Scarred: Probably a cat scratch or two through the years, but nothing noticeable.
Had a Broken Heart: Her high school best friend, Everett, didn't feel the same way for her as she felt for him and that took a long time for her to get over. She was never really over it when she dated Malcolm, either, but she was entirely over it by the time she met Conrad.
Are They...
A Cuddler: Only with Conrad; he makes her feel romantic in ways no one else can. She's too unflirty, otherwise, and her relationship wasn't the same with Malcolm at all.
Jealous Easily: She never gets a chance to be jealous because she married a sim who's head over heels for her and totally Proper. Conrad notices beauty in other women all the time, never flirts with anyone but Heather.
Trustworthy: Very. Heather's very close with her youngest sister, Hazel, who relied on her heavily in the fallout from her divorce. Heather's an insider and appreciates good town gossip, but she knows who she can trust with privileged information and people confide in her in return.
Family
Siblings: Heather's the oldest of four. Sister Holly is two years younger, brother River is four years younger, and youngest sister Hazel was born eight years after her oldest sibling. In high school, when unflirty Heather was focused on her studies and pining for her best friend Everett, who loved their mutual friend Spencer, she grew close to Hazel when she'd be left babysitting while her younger siblings went on dates with their high school sweethearts (now spouses, Kris and Cassandra).
Parents: Heather's parents, Neal and Daisy, raised their four kids in an eco-friendly cottage in Henford-on-Bagley's Finchwick Town. The eco-designer and inventor of Nesbeets and his astrobotanist wife raised their kids in a happy, loving home with plenty of pets, instilling in all their kids a great love of the outdoors.
Children: Heather has son Ash Landgraab with her ex-boyfriend, Malcolm, and she was a biological surrogate for her close friends, Everett and Spencer Pancakes, delivering their son Jett over a year after Ash's birth. With her husband she has two biological kids, daughter Lavender and son Roan, and they're in the process of adopting infant Iris Bonilla, the daughter of Conrad's ex-girlfriend, Ximena (m*rdered in prison), and convict John Brindleton, who Conrad arrested and put behind bars.
Pets: Throughout her life, Heather and her family have had numerous pets! When she was born in Henford, her parents had an Old English sheepdog named Ralph. As a kid, her family adopted two cats, King Tut and Boomer, both of whom lived long enough to move to Brindleton Bay with Heather when she bought her vet clinic. After Ralph passed, Heather's parents adopted a Shar Pei/Field Spaniel mix named Bernadette, but Heather moved out a few years after they got her. In Brindleton Bay, Heather adopted local stray Mayor Whiskers, and when she fell for Conrad, his Bernese mountain dog, Gord, moved into their shared home in the Bay. They soon added another stray, Queen Cupcake, who gave birth to kittens Duchess and Lady. Duchess was rehomed with her parents and brother in Henford, while Lady went to live with Cecilia Kang and Michael Bell, the parents of Holly's husband, Kris. After meeting the ghost of Conrad's great-great-great-great uncle Ben Gordon, the old keeper of the Brindleton Light, and his ghost dog, Captain Whitaker, Heather and her family agreed to resurrect Captain with ambrosia treats, add him to their large family so the ghost of Ben Gordon could pass to the Netherworld once and for all.
