**Amber Freeman** is the aloof best-friend of Tara. Just as outraged by *Stab 8* as Richie was, she helps bring him to Woodsboro in the first season to carry out their murderous scheme to "fix" the franchise.

Amber commits several savage murders. She might not be the deadliest of all the Ghostfaces, but like Richie, she is arguably the pettiest. She became obsessed with the *Stab* movies after moving into 261 Turner Lane and after being disgusted with *Stab 8*, she approached Richie on a *Stab* subreddit where they devised a plan to create a "requel" to *Stab*, using sisters Samantha and Tara, as the basis for the show. On the 25th anniversary of The Woodsboro Murders, they put their plan into motion and were able to lure Sam back to Woodsboro to complete their plan. Amber was eventually unmasked and killed by Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers by lighting her on fire with a *flamethrower*!

Her attack on Tara in the opening of the season exemplifies her sadistic brutality, as she stabs her seven times, breaks her ankle, impales her palm, and throws her against the ground -- all the while tormenting her via phone threats. And Tara was supposedly her best friend. Not to mention that Tara thought Amber herself was in danger, and was coming to rescue her. Her attack on Deputy Hicks is particularly brutal and drawn out. It begins with Richie calling Judy and threatening the life of her son Wes to the point where Judy is tearfully pleading for his life. Then when Judy arrives home and tries to save Wes, Amber jumps out and stabs her to death, all the while making it clear that she will not save her son -- and was never going to. She and Richie both accuse Liv of being the killer during a tense moment after Mindy is attacked at Amber’s house. Since they had planned their third act killer reveal at the party well in advance, this could only be just to enjoy Liv desperately pleading her innocence. And it is since Amber shoots her in the head in front of everyone mere moments after. Her murder of Vince is both simple and sadistic in its execution. She sneaks up on him while he’s distracted, stabs him once in the neck, and watches him slowly bleed out -- while clearly relishing the moment.

## **Personality and Traits**

At the start of the season, Amber makes herself look like a potential victim of Ghostface by sending a video to Tara in order to get her out of the house. Additionally, Amber's suspicions of Sam because of her dark and troubled past are meant to look like concern for Tara's well-being (and to make Sam look like a red herring).

Overall, Amber makes herself look like a good friend, all the while planting seeds of distrust against Sam to throw attention off herself and Richie and make the intended plan to frame Sam look plausible. Amber's motives deal with her dissatisfaction with the direction her favorite film franchise was heading, and decided to give the franchise new "source material" to work with, though she later tries to cover her ass by saying that she was "radicalized" by toxic Internet message boards. Regardless, both prove merciless and sadistic towards their victims, whom they either know or are even friends of/lovers with.

Amber might not be the deadliest of all the killers, but like Richie, she is arguably the pettiest and amongst the most sadistic.
