Heath Burns

"Oh, I thought it was something I cared about."

- Heath Burns in "Fatal Error"

Heath Burns is a fire elemental and a student at Monster High. His head bursts into flame when he gets excited. He is first seen in the webisode "Substitute Creature". His cousin is Holt Hyde/Jackson Jekyll. He is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal in Volume 1, and Cam Clarke in Volume 2.

Personality
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.

Family
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 diary states 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.

Friends
Heath is on the track team and is friends with Clawd Wolf, Deuce Gorgon, Gil 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.

Romance
He is first romantically tied with Draculaura in "The Hot Boy", but in "Fur Will Fly" Draculaura is over him. He hits on Frankie in "New Ghoul @ School" and "Date of the Dead". At the start of Volume 2, he is overly confident that he and Draculaura will be going to the Fall Ball, although she likes Clawd Wolf and ends up going with him instead. In "Back-to-Ghoul", he asks to carry Abbey's books for her, only to be frozen in his tracks by her. He attempts again in "Abominable Impression" and kisses her hand, but his mouth fredzes instead. In "Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love?" he hits on Ghoulia Yelps but seperates from her to shoot for "stud of the century"

In Abbey's School's Out diary, she reveals that Heath has been flirting with her, although she was not quite sure what some of the phrases he said meant. She seems to also like him back, as she said that she was waiting for "a properly asked for date".

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.
