Characters[]
Heather-Ann: Heather is the more prim, proper one of the main three, whom exibits the same traits as a normal high school white girl.
La'Vodka: La'Vodka is the most ghetto of the three. She has a quick temper, and swears the most. Since the beginning of the show she has been in a relationship with a guy named Romeo whom her two friends don't care for, as they think of him as a loser. They broke up later in the series.
Beatrice: Beatrice Michelle Olga Finnegan is the nerdy/virgin of them. She talks frequently about her Tumblr, and has an undeniable crush on Justin Bieber and Harry Styles from One Direction. Later on in the episodes Heather pairs her up with Herbert, a kid in their Biology class, and they begin dating. Beatrice is sometimes made fun of for her deep "manly" voice.
