Heidi Turner

Heidi Turner is a character in the animated series South Park and is voiced by April Stewart (Eliza Schneider in Do the Handicapped Go to Hell?/Probably and Helen Keller! The Musical).

Appearance
Heidi has dull brown hair, and wears a lime green jacket, a dark green trousers, and red gloves.

In her initial appearance in Rainforest Schmainforest, she had black hair (though it was shown as its later brown shade in various shots) and wore a green sweater when she wasn't in her choir uniform. She was also depicted with black hair in Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (most prominently in the "It's Easy Mmkay" number).

When she was dressed as a prostitute in Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset, she wore a white crop-top and matching skirt. When dressed for bed, she wears a pair of lavender plaid pajamas with a pink collar and pockets (shown in "Marjorine").

She also looks extremely similar to the Triscotti girl in Go God Go who wore exactly the same as Heidi does, the only differences being that Heidi doesn't wear a hairclip in the TV Series, (but she did in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut) and Heidi's hair is a different shade of color to the Triscotti girl. An interesting point to note here that Heidi wasn't in class when the Triscotti girl was in class. If the Triscotti girl is Heidi then that means her name is Heidi Triscotti.

The continuous change in parents could mean she is an orphan who is quite troublesome or has some other problem hence the constant parent/sibling change or the animators are just very forgetful.

Family
Heidi and her parents were first seen in the story arc Do the Handicapped go to Hell?/Probably. (She was referred to as Marcie at the time.) When Cartman opened his church and the parents tried to convince the kids back, Heidi went inside. Her dad told her to come back, but then a beam from the roof of Cartman's poorly made church landed on him, killing him, when she stated she didn't want to go to Hell. Despite the apparent death of her father she has a different dad as seen in Marjorine. This is either a continuity error, or her mother remarried (though she is also shown to have a very different mother in that same episode as well). And in Cartoon Wars Part I she was shown with yet another different set of parents and a sibling! She apparently used to have a dog named Robby Turner, but he was run over and killed in '''Helen Keller! The Musical'''. Her first name suggests Germanic or Scandinavian ancestry.

Her earliest appearance in the show was in Rainforest Schmainforest, as part of the choir, though her first appearance as a SP resident was in the background in Tweek vs. Craig.

Importance as a character
Heidi is usually seen with Wendy Testaburger, Bebe Stevens, and the other girls. Heidi had a prominent role in the episode Marjorine. When Butters faked his own death to get the girls' "future telling device" he was sent undercover as a girl. Cartman pretended to be his mother and phoned Heidi's mom and asked her if she could come to a sleepover (which the girls were having). Her dad, (or stepdad) a tall blond man with a mustache, told them he didn't want any boys there. Heidi was one of the main girls teasing Marjorine about her poor sense of fashion and that she was ugly. Unsurprisingly, Butters got upset and locked himself in Heidi's bathroom. They then realized they had hurt "her" feelings, and gave her a makeover. Then they got the "device" out. Butters stole it and escaped while Cartman laughed at the girls as they ran off. Despite not having many roles she is usually a background character. She has become more prominent now, similar to how Butters (who even used to be the 4th friend at the beginning of the 6th season, and had his own episode in the fifth season) was once a background character who had no lines at all.
