Henrietta "Hetty" E. King was the oldest sibling of the King Family. She was the sister to Alec, Olivia, Roger, and Ruth King. As the head of the King Family, she had extremely strict attitudes, which didn't always sit well with her younger siblings and other members of the extended family.

Hetty worked as a schoolteacher at the Avonlea School, but her extremely strict discipline sometimes affected her students in negative ways. When she took time off to help Olivia take care of her baby, her students took advantage of her stepping down by becoming completely out of control to the point of driving away 4 teachers in 2 months. Her brother, Alec was on the school board, and he thought that maybe they were listing the wrong qualifications. When Clive Pettibone came along, Hetty was shocked by how authoritarian and abrasive he was from his Army service - especially when he tried to apply his militaristic discipline to her students and to the entire Avonlea Community. Eventually, Hetty and Clive resolved their differences after realizing that they shared a passion for writing.
