Maybe so, but who's to say Heather hasn't either. We don't know of her past. It's been implicitly implied that the two are equal! So the canonnonically the vote should go to tie. Fandomly, everyone is going to vote Astrid anyway sooooo... there is no hope for Heather.

If u think about it, even if Heather hasn't been training as long as Astrid. In a way it shows Heather is better than Astrid, since she was able to reach Astrid's level in a shorter time period if u think about it that way.
