Sidney Prescott was the daughter of Maureen and Neil Prescott and the half-sister of Roman Bridger. She proved that she was a survivor when she beat the Woodsboro Killers, Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Sidney tried to lead a normal life away from the limelight, but the Ghostface killers struck again while she attended Windsor College. Sidney once again survived, but was so traumatized that she hid in a secluded home in the woods with negligible contact with the outside world. When Roman Bridger forced her out of hiding, she confronted him in Hollywood, and finally found some closure.
