## Early life-present day

Deena Johnson was born in Shadyside to unnamed parents some time during 1978 where she grew up hearing about how her town was unfortunately famous for its murder sprees that happened every decade. Around a few months to a year later, she became the older sister to her brother Josh. At some stage, she eventually befriended two future junkies by the names of Simon and Kate and soon began dating a girl named Sam but soon had to end her relationship prior to the 30th of September 1994 due to Sam's mother finding out where upon learning her daughter was in a homosexual relationship, took Sam out of Shadyside and moved over to Sunnyvale, a decision Deena became furious at because her ex didn't want to fight for their relationship.

## Personality

Deena is a mostly calm teenager who was originally a sceptic who didn't believe that there was a curse on her town. She can also become defensive such as when she confronted Sam about how she saw Peter grabbing her butt during the vigil however since reconciling, Deena became much happier and content with her relationship.

When in danger, Deena has a straight forward mindset and becomes very serious such as when she was being confronted by the killers or when she killed Nick to end the curse. She also does not mind confrontation such as when she confronted Sam about their relationship or about the Skull Mask Killer who she originally believed to be Peter.

## 30th September 1994-3rd October 1994

Deena Johnson was a teenage girl from Shadyside who wasn't too into the idea that the reason for innocent people was due to a curse by a witch claiming the reason for Ryan's sudden murder spree was due to Shadyside itself. She was good friends with Simon and Kate even though she knew about their history of using substances but still enjoyed their company before their deaths even wondering if they had stopped after Simon's brother had OD'd. She is forced to go with the rest of her school to attend a game where she stands at the vigil to mourn the death of Heather where she would then see her ex girlfriend Sam with her boyfriend where she would watch Peter grab Sam's butt, she then finds Sam and confronts her about their broken relationship and how she is furious about her she didn't fight for their relationship since because of their lesbian nature which caused Sam to be moved to Sunnyvale.

Upon returning back home, Deena learns that the bus is being pursued by her ex and Peter causing Deena and Kate to grab the nearby cooler and try throw it at the car however as Deena's nose begins to bleed, the cooler is let go causing Peter to swerve the car and crash but everyone is fine, Deena, her friends and Peter are then questioned by Nick about the incident however they all act like it was an accident as Sam is taken to the hospital.

At home, as she is cleaning up the cans of beer left by her dad who appears to be out of the house again, she turns her attention to the news report talking about the mall massacre. She calls the hospital and asks to be patched through to Sam, the door knocks and she calls to Josh to answer it since she is unable to. She is then seen speaking to Ms Fraser who says that Deena won't stop until Sam's life is ruined, however she still tells Deena that her daughter is fine but tells her to not call again, the phone goes dead and Deena hits the drumstick she is holding against a drawer causing it to splinter. Deena heads down to the door and opens it where she discovers that there isn't anyone on the porch however she does notice a figure and believes it to be Peter, she then goes back inside and questions Josh for not answering the door but isn't surprised when he heard the pizza ding instead, she then notices the stalker again and goes outside where she yells at the killer that he is pathetic, still believing it to be Peter however she and Josh notice the knife and stay inside the house to be safe. She would then call Kate who was babysitting with Simon to explain the situation causing the two to leave the kids at Mary's house.

The group then talk about what is going on and all still assume that Peter is behind this and all decide to pay Sam a visit at the hospital. Nurse Beddy would then take Deena to visit her ex who would still claim that Peter had been stalking them that night, something that Sam claims is impossible since he has been with her all this time, Peter then shows up to tell Sam she is able to leave the hospital the next day and Deena calls him an asshole and asks him where his mask is, the two would then argue and Sam yells back stating that Deena will wake up in 10 years being just like her dad causing Deena to retaliate and tells Sam that she can go to hell. The real killer appears and Sam and Deena watch on as he would stab Peter, the two girls then leave the room in a hurry to find the others where the group then find the bodies of more victims, one being the reception and both watch on as Ryan would then kill Beddy, the two scream and the group escape where they manage to steal a van but park near the police station

Sam and Deena would then head into the station to talk about what had happened with Nick leaving Josh Kate and Simon to wait by the ambulance they stole, Nick explains that their assailant can't have been the real Ryan as he had been the one to shoot and kill him even providing the two a picture of proof showing that he had been killed. Kapinski would then enter to tell his boss about the hospital massacre, Nick then says he'll go and tells Kapinski to deal with the two, the two would then leave and Deena grabs at the officer only for him to tell her not to test him, she apologises and leaves with Sam, Ruby Lane would then attack but is shot at by Deena who had stolen the gun. Back at home, she listens to her brother explain to her and the others that he knew who had attack Simon and names her, she watches on as Josh grabs other newspaper clippings and talks about the previous murders, she looks over at Kate as she explains that her aunt was one of the victims of the Nightwing massacre. The situation is enough for Sam who leaves and spits up blood but is found by Deena where the two talk normally without arguing and slowly start to reconcile now that their lives are in danger.

The group would then head back to the crash site after discovering Sam had seen Sarah Fier after touching the moss just after the crash. Deena then grabs a jacket from the car and attempts to try put Sarah to rest by trying to "un-disturb her grave". Tommy then appears and the group get into the ambulance where Deena hands a towel over to Sam in order to stop the nosebleed and notes that the curse didn't stop because it's not as easy as it is in the movies, Josh and Sam both agree that the killers were after Sam but Deena tries to deny Sam is a target since Ruby had attacked Simon and Ryan had appeared when the two were at the house but Kate then explains the only reason that happened was because Simon's shirt had Sam's blood on it as she unzips his jacket to show them the proof.

At the school, the group put their plan in motion which involves them changing clothes, Deena and Sam go into the same bathroom where the make out as Sweet Jane plays on. With the plan in motion, Deena pours gasoline on the blood and starts a fire in order to blow up the killers who were trapped in the bathroom stall but are not safe as they discover the killers can come back again, Kate then says Sam must die so the murders can stop but Deena tells her that isn't happening only for Sam to agree and go out as bait, Deena goes to follow but is held back by Simon but Josh then realises that Sam doesn't need to die instead noting that she can live just like Ziggy did, he then gives his sister the number to call and she explains the dilemma she and her friends are in but nobody answers as Deena continues to plead for help over the phone as the group continue to be attacked where it is decided they'll need to have Sam OD and come back to life if they want this to actually end.

Now at the grocery store in which her friends work at, Deena listens in as Simon explains that It's possible Sam can come back after taking the substances and explains that is brother Timothy did so a few months before, she tells Kate it is time for her close-up and again listens to Simon who explains the order in which to take the pills or else the plan won't work. Deena and Sam talk again and Deena promises that they'll get her back and she won't die for good and the two then kiss. With part b of their plan in motion, Deena gets Sam to take the pills and watches on in fear noticing the killers are there and have already killed Kate and Simon and now are trying to kill Josh prompting her to hurry up with drowning Sam, it eventually works and Sam dies but is soon brought back, due to thinking she is dead however, the killers disappear and the survivors speak to Nick Goode once again where he says he's ready to listen, he asks if Deena really wants her friends to be named as the killers but Deena in tears says no and that they're dead anyways. Sam and Deena kiss again in front of Ms Fraser who furiously grabs her daughter and gets her to leave. That night, Deena hands the mixtape over to Sam and the cuddle in bed, she gets up and finds that Josh has ordered pizza, as he walks away, the phone rings and Deena answers to discover the caller is Ziggy who says that the curse didn't end and says that Sarah will only find more ways to continue what she had allegedly started.

As Ziggy explains that Sarah will only come again, Deena turns around to face Sam who stabs her girlfriend with the same drumstick that had been snapped earlier when Deena was on the phone trying to speak to Sam. She is fine it wasn't fatal and manages to tie her up using the phone cord, Josh finds his sister and sees the blood, Deena stares on as Sam continues to growl.

Realising there's no other option, Deena and Josh would then head to Ziggy's house with the possessed Sam tied up in the back of the car, Deena climbs through the window only to be grabbed and threatened but then explains to the survivor that she was the one who called back and needs her help. Ziggy would then follow her outside only for Deena to show her that Sam has been possessed and is currently tied up in the back of the car prompting Ziggy to refuse only saying that the two should run as far as she can only to change her mind when Deena refuses to let Sam remain in the state she is in. Josh and Deena would then tie Sam up again in the bathroom before returning to Ziggy who tells them the story of 1978. Once that is over, the two realise that C.Berman was Ziggy all along most likely under the impression that the C was for Cindy though they most likely figured it out when Ziggy got to the part where Nick had said her name was Christine

Deena would then see 1666 for herself through the eyes of Sarah Fier only to find the truth and discover that she was innocent and wasn't a witch but was instead framed after learning that Solomon Goode had made a pact with the devil and had used Sarah has a scapegoat where the town believed him and declared her a witch where she was then hanged. After finding this out, Deena explains everything to Josh and the two end up stealing Nick's car after he realises something is wrong and the two head to Ziggy, she then explains to Ziggy that Nick isn't as innocent as he looked to be, In order to stop the curse, the three then recruit Martin and head to the Mall in order to stop the curse for good where they decorate the area with blood and mix it with paint as a way to lure the killers and trap them in a store.

She and Josh partner up but are found by Kapinski who tells the two to drop their weapons which are only plastic water guns but the two watch as Harry Rooker appears and stabs him, they then run but are still able to continue their plan which notes to be successful until the arrival of Nick who realises the pact is in danger, Deena would then confront him in the mark where the two fight and Nick tells her that she'll make the paper hoping that she is killed by Sam only for Deena to grab Nick and force him to see the truth by making him feel the Heart of Darkness, he then sees the victims of the murders where Deena appears to him as Sarah and tells him that she will never let him go and then stabs him in the eye causing his death, As she and her now girlfriend again leave the mark, they find themselves in the Goode house where they leave and witness a car being hit by a truck seeing that bad luck is no longer just exclusive to Shadyside, they then have a picnic date down at Sarah's grave where they eat cheeseburgers and declare Sarah as the first Shadysider.
