Jill Roberts

Jillian "Jill" Roberts was the main antagonist of Scream 4 (2011 film) and the eighth revealed Ghostface killer in the franchise. She was the mastermind of the most violent Ghostface massacre, which also claimed the most casualties, the Second Woodsboro Murders (2011).
She was the daughter of Kate Roberts, the younger sister of the original Ghostface victim, Maureen Prescott. Having grown up in Woodsboro, California, she resented the non-stop commentary people made about her estranged celebrity cousin, Sidney Prescott, and her favorite cousin, Lucy Prescott the faces of the original Stab trilogy. Her closest "friends" were film geek, Kirby Reed and next-door neighbor, Olivia Morris.
The character was a false protagonist, with promotion claiming she would be the new Sidney/Lucy-esque heroine for a new generation. In actuality, she was the mastermind behind the anniversary killings. Despite this, Jill in her masterminded plot, technically stayed true to the original, only killing her framed target, Trevor Sheldon and her own accomplice, Charlie Walker, with both fulfilling millennial Billy and Stu archetypes.
In the execution of Jill's plan, her accomplice Charlie was largely almost entirely the muscle to the operation, with the assumption that she would be a millennial Sidney/Lucy and he would be a millennial Randy. However, Jill betrayed and killed him as she always intended to be the sole survivor and killed Trevor, who she framed.
Jill is also the maternal first cousin of serial killer Roman Bridger, the child Maureen gave up for adoption. It is unknown if Roman's blood lineage was made public.
She was portrayed by Emma Roberts.
== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
Jillian Roberts was born to single mother, Kate Roberts in 1993. She grew up in Woodsboro, California. Just one year after her birth, the very first Ghostface killing in Woodsboro occurred; the victim being her aunt, Maureen Prescott (née Roberts).
As a child growing up, Jill was all too familiar with the name of her celebrity cousins, Sidney and Lucy Prescott, two survivors of the 1996 Woodsboro Murders, and the name and faces protagonist of a successful slasher franchise, Stab.
=== General Background ===
After she was cheated on by her boyfriend, Trevor Sheldon sometime in their sophomore year or the summer before senior year, Jill began a secret relationship with Woodsboro High Cinema Club President and horror buff, Charlie Walker, who she sat next to in Mr Baker's English class.
Growing up, her mother Kate was neglectful. Fueled by her cousin's immense stardom and fame, being cheated on, and Sidney's successful book tour of her self-help novel, Out of Darkness (2011, published by Random), the events spiraled Jill over the edge into psychopathy. She conspired with secret boyfriend, Charlie Walker to concoct their own elaborate anniversary killing spree in the town for the 15th anniversary, learning Sidney would be in town as a last stop on her book tour.
Unbeknownst to Charlie, he was simply a tool in her game. Jill convinced him of manifesting his Stab movie dreams to reality in the form a real-life remake. She elaborated on her vision: millennial counterparts to Sidney/Lucy Prescott and Randy Meeks.
As part of their plan, they desired to remake the original Woodsboro murders that Billy Loomis and Stu Macher orchestrated, framing her ex-boyfriend, Trevor Sheldon in the process. However, Jill also secretly intended on framing Charlie for the murders as an accomplice, with the pairing serving as a true millennial counterpart to Billy and Stu, while Jill would be left as the sole survivor.
As part of the scheme, she came up with the idea of filming the murders due to Jill's belief that no one reads anymore, which they also intended on uploading onto the internet under Trevor's IP address to further frame him as the Ghostface killer.
=== Second Woodsboro Murders (2011) ===
Jill and Charlie began their copycat killings with Jenny Randall and Marnie Cooper. Jill filmed the murders with a film camera, as Charlie killed Marnie by stabbing her in the stomach multiple times. Shortly after, Charlie called and taunted Jenny over the phone, shortly before Jill and Charlie throw Marnie's corpse through a nearby window. Jill chases Jenny across her house, briefly catching her, and stabs her in the back. Jenny crawls down into her garage (which is undergoing renovations) where she has her back crushed by the garage door and is stabbed while Charlie filmed from the other side of the garage door. After their kills, Jill stabbed, gutted, and bound Jenny to a chair while Charlie stabbed and gutted Marnie before hanging her to the ceiling fan. Jill wrote "What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?" on the wall in one of the girls' blood. It was written because she wanted the police, Sidney, and Lucy to know "Ghostface" was back.
The following day, Jill and her friend Olivia Morris are given a ride to school by their best friend Kirby Reed. Charlie plants Jenny and Marnie's blood, Sidney's novels and Ghostface merchandise in the trunk of Sidney and Lucy's rental car while they're inside a bookstore doing a book signing for Sidney newly released novel Out of Darkness. Jill receives a phone call from Charlie as "Ghostface" using Jenny's phone during the ride, and after Jill hangs up, Olivia reveals she got a call like that from Marnie's phone. On the way to school, Kirby almost gets into an accident, that likely would have killed Jill and injured Olivia. Once Jill, Olivia, and Kirby arrive, they are confronted by both Charlie and film geek best friend, Robbie Mercer, who asks them their favorite scary movie in other of the fifteenth anniversary of Massacre Week. Unlike Olivia and Kirby, Jill doesn't seem to be bothered by the camera. Jill is later confronted by Trevor while she's at her locker. He wants to be given a second chance, but she rejects him. After the twins' car becomes an official crime scene and the police become aware of the murders of the night before, Jill, Olivia, and Kirby are taken to the police station after the police find out Olivia and Jill received phone calls. As they are questioned by Sheriff Dewey Riley, Lucy and Maureen arrive first and Jill is happy to see them, giving them hugs. Sidney comes behind them and Jill acts like she's happy to see her. No conclusion is drawn from the questioning.
When Jill gets home from the police station, she and Kirby prepare dinner with her mother. Later, she sees that Trevor has snuck into in her bedroom when she comes into her room after using the bathroom. She tells Trevor to get away from the window. He starts talking about wanting a second chance again when Lucy walks in and sees Jill with Trevor. After he leaves, she tells Jill that if he doesn't leave her alone to let her know. Later on, while watching the movie with Kirby and Maureen, Jill makes a fake "Ghostface" call to Olivia. During this conversation, Charlie calls Kirby as Ghostface, claiming to be in the closet. Kirby opens Jill's closet to prove he isn't in there and called him a liar. He then gives a bone chilling response, "I never said I was in your closet" before immediately leaping out of Olivia's closet. Charlie mutilates her while Kirby, Jill, and Maureen watch horrified from the house next door. Sidney and Lucy rushes over to the Morris house but does not arrive in time to save Olivia from death. Jill then calls the twins as Ghostface to taunt them. She then hangs up and calls Sidney and Lucy's name to alert Charlie that she's in the house. Jill heads upstairs to Olivia's room, but the twins prevents her from looking at Olivia's corpse. Pretending to be upset, she tells Sidney and Lucy that Olivia called them "The Angel of Deaths". Then Charlie, still wearing the Ghostface costume, comes out from behind a door, seemingly trying to attack Jill and manages to slash her arm. Lucy pushes her out of the way and kicks him down the stairs. After fighting him off, the twins sees Jill sitting down at the top of the stairs, holding her bloodied left her arm. The police come in and the twins tries to show them where Charlie is, but he's no longer there. Kirby, Maureen, and Trevor also arrive at Olivia's house to see if Jill is okay.
