Continuity

 * The World Shapers in Doctor Who Magazine, which featured a much older Jamie McCrimmon had implied that he died before having any descendants.
 * In the order of publication, Heather became the Doctor's companion after Donna Noble. Given statements made in the post-Journey's End era regarding the Doctor refusing to take on ongoing companions after Donna, Heather's presence either violates TV continuity, or take place at some earlier point in the Tenth Doctor's life, likely between DW: Voyage of the Damned and Partners in Crime.

Creation
Heather was created by 10-year-old Joanne Hall in a competition sponsored by Doctor Who Adventures to create a new companion to appear in the magazine's comics.
