RYAN STONE is a medical engineer, specialized in hospital scanning systems. She's focused on her work as though she's all alone in the world. This is her first mission.from the screenplay

Scream
"The female protagonist in most narratives plays a familiar and unchanging role: she is the passive object of the active male hero's quest or the prize at the end of his journey. Agency, movement, and change belong to the male hero, and action--even violent action--is not only sanctioned for him but serves as a means of proving his courage and strength. The slasher film exaggerates this opposition according to its own highly stylized generic requirements: blonde female victims ("some big-breasted girl" as one character in Scream observes) and male psychopaths. Male fear of female sexuality becomes encoded in the slasher convention that only female virgins can survive--a convention that Scream notably rejects."

"Leading characters drive the unfolding storyline while co-leading characters drive the unfolding storyline together and share roughly equal screen
time. Films with multiple male leads or multiple female leads were folded into the male lead and female lead categories, respectively. The co-lead
category includes ensemble casts where both men and women are featured roughly equally."
