Character bio: Heather Wayne

Heather comes from northern US, in a fishing town off the coast of Maine. She was tall and lanky in high school, and went unnoticed for the most part. Her warm smile and long blond hair made her very photogenic. She entered modeling and had an interest in acting. Heather pursued a higher education in New York and participated in off-Broadway plays. She auditioned for a national search for a Sci-Fi movie, "Alien Memoirs" and got the lead role of a reporter chronicling an extra terrestrial alien's journey to Earth. The movie itself is lambasted by critics for a sloppy story, (is it a love story or an action flick?) and robotic performances by veteran actors. The only good thing critics say about the film is that Heather is eye catching and has a sincerity in her performance. As well they like Davinci's CGI.. Since the hype is rampant on the Internet, Heather is suddenly propelled into the limelight. There is non-stop paparazzi pictures, and rumors and speculations about her daily life. Splashed all over magazine covers, Heather's face is everywhere you look. She now has a publicist to deal with all the media attention. He though it would be a good idea for the single starlet to accompany her "co-star" to the premiere. Since the alien is nothing more than a bunch of pixels on a computer, Davinci gets the honor to date Heather Wayne at a high profile premiere.

She is at first disappointed by another "fan-boy" reaction,. but when Davinci says with such sincerity: "You have the eyes of a Manga Princess. the  most valuable pale blue eyes I've ever seen" She is instantly flattered. She has heard talks in production how: 'Davinci will take care of it in post,' that she is curious how her performance will blend with the computer graphics. She thinks he must be gifted in his craft, so therefore it's a compliment in the highest form from this man's perspective. She gets him to talk, and learns he is from a similar background. He is probably the nicest person she's met so far in Hollywood, forgetting she is movie star, and talking to her like she wasn't just a commodity, a coveted actress and model; simply a woman like any other. She is instantly flirtatious, perhaps too strong at first, but for men it takes a while to give in to be the hunted, rather than the hunter.

Heather in Imagi-Nation


Unlike Davinci she is unfamiliar with the territory. She revels in the vast and sumptuous landscapes. She enjoys playing her part even if Davinci never considered her in his fantasies beforehand. She is a little jealous of Davinci, for she too had a childhood dream: She wanted to be Scheherazade, the reputed female author of  1001 Arabian Nights. She imagined telling a story every night to the Sultan, and perhaps acting out all the parts herself, to captivate the Sultan until she stopped before the resolution. "I'll tell you how it ends tomorrow night." Scheherazade's stories would spare her sister and her life for countless nights. Heather's desire to "enhance" Davinci's world only diverts him from his true goal: to escape Imagi-Nation and seize control of his story. Most characters hate her intrusion, and seek to break the growing romance between them.
