Emma Duval

Emma Duval is a popular 16-year old who's a little too introverted and intellectual to be a social butterfly, but has nevertheless been anointed by the popular crowd to be one of their own. She feels guilty that she has drifted away from her former best friend Audrey, but at least she's got a 'Gilmore Girls'-esque relationship with her mom Maggie to keep her sane. In the first season of Scream, Emma starts off as a popular, fun-loving and affable teenager who is very aware of the town Lakewood's murderous past. However, the Brandon James Copycat Killer begins to stalk and murder Emma's friends one by one as Emma slowly become brave and resourceful in facing off the Lakewood slasher in the finale.
