Sidney Prescott is a fictional character and the primary protagonist of the ''Scream'' series. The character was created by Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven and is portrayed by Canadian actress Neve Campbell. She first appeared in ''Scream'' (1996) followed by three sequels: ''Scream 2'' (1997), ''Scream 3'' (2000)〔(''Reel Views 2: The Ultimate Guide to the Best 1,000 Modern Movies on DVD and Video'' ) by James Berardinelli, Roger Ebert; Published by Justin, Charles & Co., 2005; ISBN 1-932112-40-5, ISBN 978-1-932112-40-5.〕 and ''Scream 4'' (2011). The character appears in the ''Scream'' films as the target of a series of killers who adopt the Ghostface persona, a ghost mask and black cloak, to pursue her. In each film, the Ghostface killers often murder people close to Sidney and taunt her by phone with threats and intimate knowledge of her life or the murder of her mother, leading to a final confrontation where the true killer is revealed.〔(''The Movies That Make You Scream!'' ) by R. David Fulcher; Published by AuthorHouse, 2007; ISBN 1-4259-9427-X, 9781425994273.〕 The killers that target Sidney have varying motivations ranging from revenge in ''Scream'' to the fame that will come from killing her in ''Scream 2'', due to the fame she herself has obtained as a survivor of the murder spree in the original film. She first becomes the focus of her boyfriend Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) and his friend Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard), Billy seeking revenge for his mother's abandonment following his father's affair with Sidney's mother Maureen Prescott. ''Scream 3'' later reveals that Billy learned of this affair through Roman Bridger (Scott Foley), Sidney's half-brother, himself seeking revenge for his abandonment and rejection by Maureen, sparking the chain of events that permeate each film. Drew Barrymore was originally cast as Sidney Prescott but scheduling conflicts led to her taking a smaller role, with the lead being offered instead to Campbell, who at the time was starring in the TV show ''Party of Five''. She was hesitant to take another horror role after finishing work on ''The Craft'' (1996) but took the opportunity as it would be her first leading role in a feature film. Campbell reprised the role in ''Scream 2'' and ''Scream 3'' though her own scheduling conflicts meant she could only film for a short period of time while the third film was in production. This resulted in her character's role being reduced significantly from prior installments and focus was shifted onto the series' other lead characters, Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley. Campbell initially refused requests for her to return for ''Scream 4'', with scripts written with her character's absence in mind, but ultimately agreed to return. The character is depicted as an intelligent, resourceful young woman who slowly becomes stronger over the course of the series as she attempts to overcome the threats and deaths around her.〔(''Wes Craven: The Art of Horror'' ) by John Kenneth Muir; Published by McFarland, 2004, ISBN 0-7864-1923-7, ISBN 978-0-7864-1923-4.〕 Neve Campbell's role as Sidney Prescott has received significant critical praise throughout the series, earning her the title of Scream Queen in the 1990s and won her the Saturn Award for Best Actress in 1997 for ''Scream''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Past Saturn Awards )〕 and the MTV Award for Best Female Performance in 1998 for her role in ''Scream 2''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1998 MTV Movie Awards )〕 ==Appearances== Sidney Prescott first appeared in the film ''Scream'' as a teenager attending the fictional Woodsboro High School.
