3!Main Characters
4The leading ladies of each of the various films who are all relatively functional normal women before the traumas they endured that made them vengeful.
5----
6
7[[folder:Shared Tropes]]
8* ActionGirl[=/=]DarkActionGirl: They are by no stretch of the imagination villains, given who they target, but the murders each woman commits are very disturbing and vicious.
9* BreakTheCutie: Each of these women were very sweet before the disgusting rapists got their hands on them. It really shows with how each went from being happy and smiling to {{Perpetual Frowner}}s afterwards.
10* IronicEcho: The original Jennifer Hills did this with the line "Suck it, bitch!". The other women upped the ante considerably, throwing out these echoes left and right, to the point where they're throwing one PreMortemOneLiner after another to each of the rapists.
11* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: It goes without saying that these women dole out some serious payback on their victimizers.
12* TookALevelInBadass: They each have to take some levels just to survive the aftermath of their rapes, and then take another to hunt down their prey.
13* TookALevelInJerkass: A few of these women lost much of their kindness, becoming extremely cold and distant from others as a result of their rapes.

22[[folder:Jennifer Hills (remake)]]
23-->'''Played by:''' Creator/SarahButler
24----
25
26* AdaptationalBadass: She isn't just an ActionSurvivor in the remake, she becomes a vigilante who hunts down rapists and learns genuine fighting skills along with an array of useful substantial skills like improvised technology and investigative skills.
27* AdaptationalVillainy: The original Jennifer simply stops at murdering her rapists. The remake's Jennifer becomes a serial killer after rapists. Which sounds good and all, except she gradually becomes more and more insane until she ends up attacking and trying to kill random men, and her vague visions of killing her counselor at the end of the third movie hints that she might start targeting innocents.
28* TookALevelInJerkass: She becomes much less sympathetic in the third film, where she begins targeting people whose crimes aren't as bad as her rapists', and whom the police were already closing in on.
29[[/folder]]
30
31[[folder:Katie Carter]]
32-->'''Played by:''' Creator/JemmaDallender
33----
34* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: She is the first protagonist in the series other than Jennifer, and has nothing to do with her.
35* BuriedAlive: Her rapists put her in a box and bury it when they're done with her. However, the bottom of the grave collapses into a tunnel and frees her.
36[[/folder]]
37
38[[folder:Christina "Christy" Hills]]
39-->'''Played by:''' Creator/JamieBernadette
40----
41* BreakTheCutie: While all the women go through it, she gets it the worst, first being kidnapped along with her mother, than finding her mother's decapitated corpse, getting raped, and nearly being murdered.
42* ChildByRape: Turns out her father is none other than [[spoiler:Johnny]].
43* MsFanservice: There is an extended sequence of her walking around completely naked except for her boots.
44* OlderThanTheyLook: She should be 40 years old but looks to be in her twenties.
45[[/folder]]
46
47!The Rapists
48The men [[spoiler: and in some cases women]] who are involved in the rapes, and consequently the hunted in the vengeful rampages of their victims.
49----
50[[folder:Shared Tropes]]
51* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Most of them get tortured before death and all of them die in very violent ways.
52* HateSink: Barring Matthew, all of them are absolutely contemptible pieces of work so vile and disgusting that no measure of redeeming qualities or humanizing relationships could make them anything else.
53* KarmicDeath: They are murdered by the very women they victimized. Even more, several of these deaths reflect the torture that they inflicted upon the victimized women.
54[[/folder]]
55
56!!First film and remake
57[[folder:Johnny]]
58* AdaptationNameChange: In the original his last name is Stillman, but in the remake it's Miller.
59* AdaptationalVillainy: The remake version has all references to a family removed, making him a lone psycho as well as a stereotypical gun-loving redneck. He also tortures Jennifer with a gun first instead of just raping her.
60* BigBad: He's the leader of the rapists in the original.
61* DelayedOhCrap: When Jennifer castrates him, it doesn't immediately register and he just assumes she was too rough with her handjob. It's not until he sees the blood that he realizes what's happened and has a full-on meltdown.
62* DemotedToDragon: In the remake, it's Sheriff Storch who's the leader instead of Johnny.
63* DiscOneFinalBoss: Being the leader, he's only the second to die.
64* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being a rapist, he cares about his wife and children in the original, an element that gets removed in the remake.
65[[/folder]]
66
67[[folder:Matthew]]
68* AdaptationalHeroism: Matthew was always the most sympathetic of the rapists because his mental issues make it clear he's not in his right mind. But despite hesitating, he still joins in the rape and is even shown vaguely enjoying it, as well as helping Johnny's gang hold Jennifer down when Johnny rapes her. Also, the fact that he accepts Jennifer's flirtations in the scene leading up to his death, despite knowing his prior acts are wrong, removes a lot of sympathy towards him (especially since it's implied he was intending to kill Jennifer when he saw her). In the remake he absolutely did not want to participate in the gangrape but was bullied into it Johnny's group (who were armed with baseball bats and other weapons including guns), so he really had no choice, even without his mental disability. He's shown openly remorseful as he rapes her and when he meets Jennifer again post-rape, even though initially he comes armed, he drops his weapon and falls down at her feet weeping and begging for forgiveness, unlike the Matthew of the original film.
69* TheDitz: The film portrays him as mentally disabled.
70* DumbIsGood: He is TheDitz and by far the most humane of the rapists. Tenfold for the remake where he was forced by Johnny's gang to join in under the presumed threat they would hurt or kill him, and was so remorseful for the act he was weeping as he begged for forgiveness.
71* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He is killed by Jennifer after he spared her life. Much more impactful in the remake, where he was the only one of the criminals who (albeit with a weapon in his hand) sought out Jennifer specifically and sincerely to apologize.
72* PeerPressureMakesYouEvil: He only takes part in the rape because his friends pressure him to. Justified in the remake because the gang of rapists were armed with weapons with Johnny wielding a pistol under the implied threat they'd hurt him if he doesn't rape Jennifer.
73* PetTheDog: When he spares Jennifer's life. Threefold in the remake in his meeting after the crime because he was really remorseful and crying as he asked Jennifer to forgive him.
74[[/folder]]
75
76[[folder:Andy]]
77
78* AdaptationalUgliness: While his remake actor isn't necessarily ''ugly'', the film uses lighting and camera angles to make him have a more classically villainous appearance.
79* TheGenericGuy: He is the least developed of the four men.
80* VillainousFriendship: He seems to get along while with Stanley and tries to save him in the original, getting killed in the process.
81
82[[/folder]]
83
84[[folder:Stanley]]
85* HateSink: All the other rapists are awful he's the only one among the four with absolutely no redeeming qualities at all. In particular of the rapists in the original, he's the one who hits Jennifer the most in a non-sexual and physically violent manner.
86* AdaptationalVillainy: As hateable as he was in the original, his friendship with Andy was genuine. In the remake with no deep bond to any of the other rapists, he even has a sick habit of recording the whole event for future voyeuristic pleasure. On top of that he's a VillainousGlutton.
87* {{Sadist}}: He enjoys the rapes the most and films them so they can watch it repeatedly.
88* VillainsWantMercy: Spends his final moments begging profusely for Jennifer to save him while trying to make excuses for his prior actions and [[BlatantLies claiming he didn't want to hurt her]]. It doesn't save him.
89
90[[/folder]]
91
92[[folder:Sheriff Storch]]
93* BadBoss: He is very abusive to the other rapists and threatens to kill them.
94* TheBadGuysAreCops: He's a sheriff and the main villain in the remake.
95* BigBad: He takes this role in the remake, being the leader of the gang of rapists.
96* CanonForeigner: He never showed up in the original and was created for the remake.
97* DecompositeCharacter: The family and resulting feelings for them Johnny had in the original are given to Storch in the remake.
98* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He is a violent rapist sure, but he does have a wife and daughter he loves and freaks out when his daughter is kidnapped.
99* {{Jerkass}}: He's a violent, ill-tempered and foul-mouthed murderer and rapist who treats his accomplices horribly and has no shame in betraying his badge.
100* KillerCop: Not only does he try to murder Jennifer he also kills Earl, the man who let Jennifer rent the cabin.
101[[/folder]]
102
103!!Second Film
104[[folder:Georgy]]
105* ExcrementStatement: Katie kills him by smearing excrement in his wounds and leaving him to die from an infection.
106* FauxAffablyEvil: He is by far the least outwardly abusive to Katie during her captivity, never beating or degrading her like his brothers. He tries to comfort her while preparing her for Valko and halts her live burial long enough to make sure her necklace is put in the box with her. He's also the one who initially rapes Katie and his sloppy crime scene is what causes the chain of events that lead to her sex slavery in Bulgaria.
107* StalkerWithACrush: He's very openly attracted to Katie and breaks into her apartment because he thinks she's beautiful.
108[[/folder]]
109[[folder:Ivan]]
110* BoomHeadshot: How he's ultimately killed.
111* GroinAttack: Has his testicles crushed in a vice.
112* KickTheDog: Taunting his stepmother Ana about how his father abused her.
113* WouldHitAGirl: While his brothers are content with threatening, violating, and humiliating Katie, he dedicates some time to beating her before they bury her alive.
114[[/folder]]
115[[folder:Nicolay]]
116* ExcrementStatement: Urinates on Katie's face while she's imprisoned in the basement.
117* TheHedonist: The most openly depraved of the brothers, dealing drugs and spending much of his screen time in the second half of the movie partying in clubs.
118* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He's the one who supplies the drugs used to transport and abuse Katie. Katie later makes sure to drug him so he's unable to resist her.
119* WaterTorture: Katie drowns him in two filthy used club toilets.
120[[/folder]]
121[[folder:Ana]]
122* BitchInSheepsClothing: She introduces herself to Katie as someone who runs a women's shelter, but she actually just takes her back to her sons to be sold to Valko. It's implied she's done this to countless girls in the past.
123* CruelMercy: Instead of killing her, Katie forces her to watch Georgy dying and Ivan being tortured before leaving her to be arrested.
124* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She's an evil person who lies to rape victims to she can lure them back into sex slavery, but also has enough genuine love for her sons that Katie decides watching one of them die counts as a torture of its own.
125* FreudianExcuse: Ana is herself a victim of sex trafficking and was abused and raped by her husband, causing her to give birth to Georgy and Nicolay.
126* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Katie is less than sympathetic to her when she finds out the above, outright calling her "the sickest of them all". After all, she ''knows'' what it's like to be raped but still decides to put Katie and who knows how many other women through the same.
127[[/folder]]
128[[folder:Valko]]
129* FatBastard: An obese thoroughly awful character who the audience never sees even pretending to be nice.
130* TooKinkyToTorture: Averted. He taunts Katie by talking about how pain heightens the senses and makes everything feel better, but shows no excitement or pleasure when Katie uses his own cattle prod against him.
131[[/folder]]
132
133!!Deja Vu
134
135[[folder:Becky]]
136* AscendedExtra: She only appears for two brief scenes in the first film but is the central antagonist of ''Deja Vu''.
137* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Inverted, she's a very ugly woman with buckteeth and is the first female rapist (or at least attempted rapist) in the series.
138* BigBad: She's the leader of the villains in ''Deja vu''.
139* BrawnHilda: She's very muscular, mannish, and ugly.
140* CharacterizationMarchesOn: She seems like a fairly normal woman in the original film but is shown to be an AxCrazy DepravedBisexual in ''Deja Vu''.
141* DepravedBisexual: She was married to Johnny but has no problems with trying to rape Christy.
142* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale: Averted, the scene where she tries to force herself on Christy is played for horror.
143* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being a crazed and murderous DepravedBisexual and attempted rapist, she did genuinely love her husband and their children.
144* EvilSoundsRaspy: Her voice is very hoarse in ''Deja vu'', despite being normal in the original.

147[[/folder]]
148
149[[folder:Herman]]
150* BaldOfEvil: He has no hair on top of his head and while he does have some shred of decency in him, much like his son, he still tries to kill Christy later on and played a part in the murder of her mother.
151* TheDitz: He's mentally disabled to an even greater degree than his son Matthew was.
152* EvenEvilHasStandards: He ultimately backed out of raping Christy despite coming close to doing so, and he did stop Becky from raping her. He actually fights the group off for a bit, allowing Christy time to escape.
153* OlderThanTheyLook: He should be in his 80s, but he looks much too young.
154* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His son Matthew died 40 years before him.
155[[/folder]]
156
157[[folder:Kevin]]
158* BeardOfEvil: He has a thick black beard and is a depraved sexual sadist.
159* OlderThanTheyLook: He should be in his 60s but looks to be far too young.
160* RevengeMyopia: He wants to avenge his brother Stanley, despite the fact that Stanley was a sadistic sex maniac who helped rape Jennifer and even recorded it so he could watch it over and over again.
161* TooDumbToLive: He's foolish enough to believe Christy when she pretends to forgive him for raping her and playing a part in the murder of her mother.
162[[/folder]]
163
164[[folder:Scotty]]
165* BeardOfEvil: He has a neckbeard and is one of the rapists.
166* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He barely reacts when shot in the groin, only whining about how unfair it was that Christy pulled a gun on him when he only had a knife.
167* OlderThanTheyLook: He should be in his 60s but looks more like he's in his 20s.
168* RevengeMyopia: He wants to avenge Andy despite what Andy did to Jennifer when he raped her and tried to kill her.

177[[/folder]]
178
179[[folder:Beady Eyes]]
180* AllThereInTheScript: Her alias is only given in the credits.
181* EvilOldFolks: She is by far the oldest character in the series and one of the villains.
182* OlderThanTheyLook: Being Matthew's grandmother, she should be about 100 years old given he was in his 20s when he died and that was 40 years ago, yet she looks much younger.
183* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her real name is unknown and even her alias is only given in the credits.
