## History

Amber is Tara's best friend, and Richie's girlfriend who assists him in the killings. According to her, after moving into the house of Stu Macher, one of the two original Ghostface's, she became obsessed with *Stab*, a franchise based off the Ghostface killings. She met Richie on the Stab subreddit, and the two bonded over their hatred of *Stab 8*, a controversial entry directed by Rian Johnson. This culminated in the two allying to cause another killing spree in Woodsboro, which would become a more successful movie.

Amber was seen in her room on Tara's phone, while Richie held a knife and he was threatening to kill her, but in reality, he was going to try and kill Tara. by invading her house after tampering with her house's locks.

Amber later took the role of the Ghostface and killed both Sherrif Judy Hicks and her son Wes, in cooperation with the talking Ghostface who was later revealed to be Richie. After successfully killing them, she later goes after Tara and Sam at the hospital. She was defeated, but then Richie intervened and switched his disguise voice machine on.

Amber does successfully kill Dewey for Richie, as they have planned it together. Amber later hosts a party, and she goes to grab some drink from the basement. While she was at the party, Richie killed Chad Meek-Martins before he enters the party and asks for some drink from the basement, just so he could dress up again as Ghostface and kill whoever's needed. Amber then calls off the party and privately talks to Tara, Sam and the others. She shoots Liv before revealing herself to be the first killer and the fearsome Ghostface along with Richie.

She is then seen fighting the protagonists near the stairs. Richie pretends to help but as soon as he gets hold of the gun, he reveals his true motives and that along with Amber, he was the other Ghostface. Amber was his accomplice and enforcer as they have both wanted to create a "requel" for Stab 8 in real life, by villainizing and killing innocents.

Amber is then sent by Richie to find and kill Tara. However, Tara has escaped. Looking for Tara, she goes into the kitchen and has a rough battle with Sidney and Gale. She begs for her life, but out of experience, Sidney pushes her into the stove while she's covered in hand sanitizer she is severely burned all over her body.

After Richie is defeated, she comes running into the scene with intent of killing everyone. However, she is shot in the head by Sam.

## Personality

She seems to be loyal to Richie and just like him, she enjoys killing and harassing other people. She never showed true loyalty to anyone and only did Richie's dirty work for her own sadistic needs, and she was obsessed with creating the requel for him and killing others for her own satisfaction.

She had no redeeming qualities or remorse and she was very sociopathic and purely sadistic and murderous.
