Biography Edit

Nina was a strawberry blonde-haired and wealthy mean-girl who attended school at George Washington High School in Lakewood, California. She was dating a guy named Tyler O'Neill. In 2015, Nina and her friend Emma Duval filmed another girl named Audrey Jensen having a lesbian make-out session with a girl from another school named Rachael Murray in her car. Nina posted the video on social media, and as a result, Audrey became the target of cruel jokes and lewd comments.

Two hours after posting the embarassing video of Audrey, Nina returned home where she began receiving texts and Snapchat images of herself from whom she believed to be Tyler. She replied back and forth to the strange statements, and then went out her to her swimming pool, never realizing that she too was now being secretly filmed. After getting into the pool, Nina received a final text from Tyler which read, "Heads up". At which point, Tyler's severed head was dropped into the pool right in front of her. Nina screamed and scrambled out of the pool as the murderer, wearing a Ghostface costume, watched her every move in the darkness.

A terrified Nina ran to the nearest tree and tried to dial 911 with wet fingers. Siri activates but calls Pottery Barn instead of 911. Nina hangs up, looks behind the tree and races to her back doors, easing into the house. Nina shouts for help but finds that all the doors are locked. Terrified, she sees her Pomeranian dog barking furiously. Nina looks up. In the reflection of the glass door, a figure slashes horizontally across Nina's back as she screams in pain. As she attempted to escape, she tripped and fell. She begins to crawl. As her and Ghostface are near the edge of the pool, Ghostface picked her up while she begged for her life as the hunting knife holds up to her throat. Without hesitating, Ghostface finished her off by slicing her throat open. Nina choked on her own blood. Ghostface then threw her body into the swimming pool, where she succumbed to her wounds. ^[1]

Tyler's severed head disappeared and it was believed that he was the one who had killed Nina, until later when the rest of his remains were discovered.
