Heather/Sierra, known mostly as Heatherra, is a common rarepair within Total Drama fandom. The ship is between Heather and Sierra, both prominent characters. Although it has been shipped since 2010, when Sierra was introduced as a contestant, it only became common to ship around 2021 following a Renaissance within the fandom at large, particularity for its Slash and Femslash pairings.
Heather/Sierra is Sierra's most popular Femslash ship, her second-most popular overall after Cody/Sierra, and just one of Heather's many. There's some light ship war between Heather/Sierra and Cody/Sierra shippers, more-so than with Alejandro/Heather shippers. The ship is more likely to be seen fanworked into visual mediums, fanart, fanvids, etc, than fanfiction.
Common Tropes
- Comphet: Regarding Sierra's canonical crush on Cody.
- "Boyfriends come and go, but girlfriends are forever": A line Heather said to Sierra on the show, which may be referenced in fanworks and on social media.
- Cody Jr.: Cody Jr. is a bird that hatched during an episode which was named by Sierra. It eventually nested on Heather's head and really liked staying there. Fans may joke that they are both this bird's moms.
- Families of Choice: Somewhat; Heather and Sierra may bond over having neglectful parents in fanworks.
- Height Difference: Sierra is taller, Heather is shorter.

"I just can’t see how this would work. 😂"?
In an unknown context, Terry McGurrin, an executive producer for the Total Drama series who frequently interacts with fans, said this about the pairing on his Twitter. Although his exact phrasing is somewhat unknown, the idea that Terry didn't see the appeal in Heather/Sierra is frequently mentioned on social media by fans as a hilarious moment in the ship's history.
I just can’t see how this would work. 😂[2]
