Lindsay was meant to be a spoiled rich girl more than a real antagonist in Camp TV,then before to change Camp TV into Total Drama Island they created four other characters:Noah,Heather,Courtney and Izzy. Noah was planned to be the new villain (because the original Lindsay wasn't a real threat)as "The Schemer" but the final decision gave to Heather this role,that actually is an evolution of Lindsay's one. I read somewhere that Heather is inspired to a film called "The Heathers" where there are 4 girls (3 of them called Heather) one meaniest than the other and they do the same thing Heather does in TDI,basically they're all QUEEN BEES.
