* Sam Carpenter. She's the HeroicBastard daughter of a SerialKiller, and has to deal with ostracization and self-loathing as a result. She accidentally ruined her parents' marriage as a teenager by confronting her mother about lying to her legal father about her parentage [[RightBehindMe without making sure her father was out of earshot]]. She's had problems with drugs since running away from home, and has to deal with an unspecified mental illness for which she has to take anti-psychotic meds. Her beloved little sister is attacked and nearly killed by someone imitating Sam's biological father's killing spree. To add to this, [[spoiler:it turns out that her boyfriend is one of the killers.]]
* Tara Carpenter herself, since she's on the receiving end of a brutal attack that impairs her ability to walk or even use a wheelchair because she went out to help her friend Amber, who she thought was in danger. [[spoiler: Amber isn’t in danger; ''she'' was the Ghostface, and used Tara’s friendship to lure her out.]] Tara’s disabled the whole movie, and is hunted mostly as bait for Sam.

And then, without a chance to reunite with her boyfriend, she's unceremoniously shot in the head as this movie's Ghostface reveals themself.

* Gale was a glory hound who exploited the murders by writing about them, but she didn’t know it would result in a legacy of copycats. By the time of the fifth film, she has everything she’s always wanted, but it's a hollow victory, as she doesn’t feel it was worth all the death, and deeply regrets everything, especially when her ex-husband Dewey’s luck runs out.
