PersonalityEdit

Heath is very flirtatious with the girls of Monster High, to the point of arrogance. While Draculaura liked him at first, she is seen in "Fur Will Fly" calling him conceited, and Lagoona tells him to "get over himself". He is a vainglorious, over-confident, loud-mouthed braggart and his behavior tends to be rather off-putting. He is not a very good listener because as seen in Lagoona's 'School's Out' diary he got attacked by lab equipment because he didn't listen to Mr Hackington. He has however shown some redeemable qualities such as being helpful, as he was willing to assist in protecting the Fearleading Squad from Nefera's cheating ways during Monster Mashionals. In Fatal Error, Heath is seen crying when the girls think that they didn't make it to a million votes, showing his sympathy to them and that he does care for them.

RelationshipsEdit

FamilyEdit

Heath is the cousin of Jackson Jekyll and his alter ego Holt Hyde. The exact way the two~three are related is fuzzy.Ghoul Spirit states that Heath's father is the brother of Jackson's and Holt's mother. However, Jackson Jekyll's diarystates that it's Jackson's and Holt's father who is a fire elemental and it implies it's through him that the two boys are related to Heath.
In the books Heath is not related to the Jekylls/Hydes at all. He does have an older sister named Harmony though.

FriendsEdit

Heath is on the track team and is friends with Clawd WolfDeuce GorgonGil and Slow-Moe (despite the fact that Slow-Moe can't stand Heath playing guitar). Deuce Gorgon stoned Heath Burns in the episode "New Ghoul @ School" when he persistently tried to flirt with Frankie Stein, and according to Lagoona's 'School's Out' diary, Deuce is often stoning Heath in order to keep him out of trouble. He is also friends with HooDude as seen in "Zom-Beach Party". In the Books he is friends with Brett Redding.

RomanceEdit

Heath Burns is a humongous flirt and on top of that convinced that he is hot in more than the literal sense. He is not necessarily wrong in that, as his looks do garner attention, but it's his general pushy, loud, and insensitive attitude that works like a repellent to most girls. This isn't to say Heath ís insensitive and ignorant of manners, but it is rare for him to show the side that does not turn off people.
Frankie Stein has been a victim of Heath's attention twice, both in "Date of the Dead" and in "New Ghoul @ School". In "Date of the Dead", Heath was pushy and disrespectful to Frankie's need for space. He was also ignorant of the fact the only reason she sat down next to him and stayed there was because she wanted to be near Ghoulia to help her and Slow-Moe connect. In "New Ghoul @ School", Frankie was the new girl and Heath tried to hit on her with classy lines such as: "If you were a booger, I'd pick you first.". Before he could really make Frankie uncomfortable,Deuce stepped in and petrified him. Even as Deuce dragged him off, Heath still suggested that Frankie would call him.
Heath's had a rocky semi-relationship with Draculaura before she began dating Clawd Wolf. In "The Hot Boy", he showed a more gentlemanly side when he offered his arm, though that was after noting she looked horrible due to the way her makeup was applied. He was Draculaura's date to the dance in "New Ghoul @ School" too and an in-between flirt of Draculaura with another boy featured a guy who looked much like Heath. However, by the time of "Fur Will Fly", Heath had been Heath too much and Draculaura was no longer interested. He tried to pick up the semi-relationship again in "Why We Fright", nagging Draculaura to go to the dance with him until she said yes. In "Fear-A-Mid Power", he made fun of a humiliating experience of Draculaura's and she wanted to cancel the date. This was made easier by Clawd asking her to be his date instead, after which Heath backed off permanently.
In "Fright On!", Heath tried his moves on two vampires from Belfry Prep and later on Gory Fangtell and two zombies, but he was rejected each time.
Heath has been incessantly chasing after Scarah Screams, incidents of which occured in "Hyde Your Heart", "Ghostly Gossip", "Fright On!", and "Hoodoo That Voodoo That You Do". Scarah writes about her experience with Heath in her SDCCI diary, which reveals that while she thinks he's handsome, his social skills are a mess and she is not in the least interested.
In "Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love?", a bug in Ghoulia's computer made her think Heath was her ideal partner, though much to her horror. Heath considered this news awesome and his special brand of obnoxiousness nearly doubled. When Ghoulia found out about the bug, she was elated, but still tried to break up with Heath with consideration to his feelings. Heath beat her to it, approaching her to tell her that he could not be tied down right now because it would disappoint other girls. Though he did try to break it off gently, he wasn't above immediately flirting with someone else once Ghoulia confirmed there would be no hard feelings. Ghoulia took it in stride, happy to be rid of him and knowing that Heath's just always going to be Heath.
In the books he dates Bekka's friend Haylee. Since Heath was the cameraman for The Ghoul Next Door in the second book, he therefore was not exposed as a RAD, but Haylee does not mind for she is no longer part of Bekka's evil plan. Heath was first discovered as a RAD when he sneezed out fire in the second book.
In "Back-to-Ghoul", Abbey Bominable begins her time at Monster High. An impressive appearance, Heath immediately runs up to her and offers to carry her books for her. He also calls her "baby". Abbey corrects that her name is "Abbey" and accidentally freezes him. He attempts another flirt in "Abominable Impression", which involves calling her by her actual name, getting down on a knee and kissing her hand. He retreats because his mouth ends up frozen. In Abbey's 'School's Out' diary, Abbey mentions more flirts from Heath. She also reveals that she thinks he's "very annoying but...scary cute" and that she not opposed to going on a date with him. However, she is waiting for "a properly asked for date", as his current antics only earn him a cold shoulder. Although in the new Ghouls Rulemovie, Abbey and Heath start to grow more affection for each other, and Abbey starts to 'warm' up to him.
