Tara Carpenter is a major character in the Scream franchise.
She is the half-sister of Samantha Carmpenter, who is the biological daughter of Billy Loomis, the first Ghostface. She is also the Legacy Killings first target, being attacked in her house after answering the phone call. She survives though, unlike the first victim of the rest of the movies and is internated. She later plays a big role in stopping Ghostface, actually her best friend Amber Freeman and her boyfriend Richie Kirsch, alongside both legacy survivors and new characters.
She returns in Scream VI, where she moves to New York City, followed by Samantha, who is overprotective of her, much to Tara's annoyance. All Tara wishes is to return to a normal life, even starting a relationship with her friend Chad Meeks-Martin. Unfortunately for her, new Ghostfaces appear in New York, targeting her and her sister, and they must once again gather strength and allies together to survive and overpower the killers.
She was portrayed by Jenna Ortega, who also played Goody Addams in Wednesday and also voiced Brooklynn in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.
Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- She was willing to go over to her friend Amber's house to protect her from Ghostface, unaware it was a trap.
- She tried to warn Richie about Ghostface targeting him, unaware he has nothing to fear.
- She grabbed Amber as she tried to shoot Sam, allowing her and Richie to escape.
- She attacked Amber, which gave Sam, Sidney Prescott, and Gale Weathers an opening to recover and rejoin the fight.
- She saved Sam, Sidney, and Gale from Amber's final attack, killing Amber and avenging Dewey Riley who saved her, whom Amber had killed earlier.
- She wanted to settle down with Chad and live a normal life.
- She tried to warn the bodega owner about Ghostface coming to attack him.
- She told Chad that he should get out of the city out of concern for his safety after Amber almost killed him last time.
- She ran to help Quinn Bailey when Ghostface seemingly attacked her.
- She ran back to her apartment to try and help Sam, Mindy Meeks-Martin, and Anika Kayoko.
- She drove a police van back to Gale's apartment, allowing Sam to save her.
- She was behind the plan to lure Ghostface to the shrine, which resulted in the deaths of Wayne Kirsch, Quinn, and Ethan and the end of the New York City killings.
- She saved Chad by holding Quinn back as she tried to stab him.
- When Chad was attacked by two Ghostfaces, she was fully willing to go and save him, despite it being dangerous, only barely being held back by Sam.
- She allowed Sam to defend herself from Quinn by letting her go.
- By defeating Wayne and his children, she and her friends saved Gale and Mindy, who would have been killed later on by them.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- She can be a jerk at times, such as:
- Blaming Sam for tasing Frankie as punishment for trying to take advantage of Tara while she was intoxicated.
- Losing her temper towards anyone, including her own friends.
- It is also implied that she was also responsible for Ethan's hatred towards her, as she was so rude to him before he was revealed as one of the Ghostfaces and never showed any remorse towards him.
- She has some undeniably sadistic moments, such as:
- Sticking a knife in Ethan's mouth, which left him unconscious for a while, and laughed when she thought she killed him.
- Helping Sam torment Wayne by giving her the approval to kill him while he was defenseless and while he did deserved to die for everything he did, it is still sadism.
