Hera Gender: Female Age: Adult Species: Heron Location: Great Forest Friends and Family Friends: Morton Toad Patrol Behind the Scenes First Appearance:   "The Fire" Voiced by: Kate Hurman

“	I'm Hera, and this old stick in the mud is Morton.	”
— Hera, "The Fire"

Hera (voiced by Kate Hurman) is a blue heron that lives in the Great Forest in a shallow pond with Morton the turtle. She encounters Fur Foot, Elf Cup and Puff Ball as they're searching for a Toad Tunnel.

Personality

Despite being a bird that feeds on amphibians, Hera immediately befriends the Toad Patrol and never once makes an attempt to eat them. She admires the politeness of Fur Foot, Elf Cup and Puff Ball, and doesn't hesitate to go out of her way to warn them about a forest fire. Her kindness even extends to giving them a ride on her back on two separate occasions. When it comes to Morton, however, Hera won't hold in a little teasing.
