); Marcie Fox (Julie Benz
); Julie Freeman (Rebecca Gayheart
); and Elizabeth Purr (Charlotte Roldan
), the "Princess Di of Reagan High." Of the four, Elizabeth Purr was the only one who was genuinely kind-hearted and loved by the entire school. Julie was "doomed to be popular because of 'that face' and because she was best friends with Elizabeth Purr". Cold-blooded Courtney and her airheaded friend, Marcie, demanded respect through terror.
However during their senior year of school, Courtney, Marcie and Julie play a mindless prank on Liz the morning of her seventeenth birthday, by performing a fake kidnapping with Courtney ramming a jawbreaker
into her mouth to gag her. Still in her underwear, the girls trap Liz in the trunk of a car and drive off.
However, upon opening the trunk, they are greeted with the grisly sight of Liz dead, having choked to death by aspirating the jawbreaker into her larynx. Horrified, Julie wants to go to the police but Courtney forbids her. Instead, Courtney calls the school pretending to be Liz's mother and tells them Liz is ill and cannot attend school. To keep up appearances, Courtney, Marcie and Julie then go to school as though nothing had happened. When the principal sends school outcast Fern Mayo (Judy Greer
) to deliver Liz's homework at the end of the day, she stumbles upon the three girls and Liz's mangled body. Out of jealousy, Courtney fabricates a story that Liz died at the hands of a rapist, and plots to tarnish Liz's good reputation by spreading false rumors that she was actually a rebellious, promiscuous girl, and not the perfect angel she made herself out to be.
Fern, who had admired Liz to the point of hero worship
, is appalled and attempts to flee the house, but the girls easily catch her. To buy Fern's silence, Courtney accepts Fern into the clique, telling her to take Liz's place. Courtney and Marcie then give her a makeover, transforming her from plain and awkward to elegant and beautiful. Later in the school cafeteria, Courtney introduces Fern as the beautiful exchange student "Vylette." Julie, overwhelmed by guilt at her part in Liz's death, distances herself from the clique, only to be targeted by her former friends. Her only real friend during this time is her drama student boyfriend, Zack.
As Vylette's popularity soars, Julie watches in mute horror as Courtney spins a relentless web of lies, trickery and manipulation to cover up the murder and maintain her popularity. Julie discovers, to her disgust, that after they'd returned Liz's corpse to her house, Courtney went out and seduced a stranger (Marilyn Manson
) at a sleazy bar and had sex with him in Liz's bed, making it seem as though he had raped Liz.
In time, Vylette becomes intoxicated with her newfound popularity, which has eclipsed Courtney's own. Realizing she has created a monster, Courtney threatens to reveal the truth about Vylette, but Vylette vows she will reveal the whole truth about Liz's death if Courtney attempts to expose her. Infuriated, Courtney and Marcie post enlarged yearbook photos of Fern Mayo all over the school with the message "Who is Vylette" written on them, revealing Vylette's true identity. Fern is thoroughly humiliated by the entire school and once again reduced to an outcast. Feeling no remorse for the things she has done, Courtney casually attends the senior prom with her jock boyfriend, Dane Sanders.
Julie takes pity on Fern and forgives her for falling under Courtney's influence. Later that night as she sulks in her room, going through a bag of Liz's belongings that were given to her, Julie finds the recording card she was fiddling with when Courtney was faking Liz's death and discovers it has incidentally recorded Courtney's admission to the murder. Struck with an idea, Julie, Fern and Zack all hurry to the prom. As Dane and Courtney are announced as Prom King and Queen, Zack sneaks backstage and broadcasts the card message over the sound system while Courtney is making her acceptance speech.
Horrified that her scheme has become unravelled, Courtney races for the exit as the rest of the students pelt her with corsages and call her a murderer. Awaiting her at the very end of the mob is Julie, who gleefully snaps a picture of her former friend's anguished face to immortalize the occasion.

Courtney Alice Shayne | Courtney, described as "Satan in Heels", is a cruel, sociopathic, self-absorbed high school senior, whose thoughtless prank on Elizabeth Purr left her dead. Courtney is obsessed with being feared by all around her and will stop at nothing to maintain her popularity. It is implied that Courtney intentionally murdered Liz out of envy that people adored Liz, and hated her. Courtney is finally exposed after Julie discovers the recording card she was holding when she said (and mistakenly held down the recording button), "I killed Liz. I killed the teen dream. Deal with it." |
Rebecca Gayheart Rebecca Gayheart -Early life:Gayheart was born in Hazard, Kentucky and raised in Pine Top, Kentucky, the daughter of Floneva , who worked as a Mary Kay independent beauty consultant, and Curtis Gayheart, a miner and coal truck driver.

Julie Freeman | Julie was stated to be "doomed to be popular", not just because of her beauty but also because of her close friendship with Elizabeth Purr. Initially just another snobby popular girl, Julie's attitude significantly changes after Liz's death. Julie repeatedly enforces her desire to tell the authorities what really happened, but Courtney refuses and, thus, kicks her from the clique. Her popularity declines and she is left nearly alone, unsupported by all except her boyfriend Zack. She eventually triumphs over Courtney at the senior prom after broadcasting her admission over the sound system. |

Fern was one of Elizabeth Purr's many fans and admitted she often dreamed about being so beautiful and popular. After stumbling upon Liz's murder, Fern's silence is bought by Courtney and Marcie accepting her as one of them and turning her into a beautiful new student named "Vylette." Vylette however turns out to be just as spiteful and self-centred as Courtney, but her real identity is exposed to the school after she displeases Courtney. Fern joins forces with Julie to bring down Courtney after this. |
Charlotte Ayanna Charlotte Ayanna Charlotte Ayanna is an American actress and former Miss Teen USA.-Early life:Ayanna was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, but moved to Vermont at an early age.

Elizabeth "Liz" Purr | The most popular girl in Reagan High. Elizabeth only appears in flashbacks or as a corpse, and does not utter a single line of dialogue throughout the entire film. Therefore what information is known of her comes from other characters. Elizabeth was a beautiful, wealthy girl and very kind-hearted. All of Reagan High adored her, and she treated people with kindness - which earned resentment from Courtney. Liz is killed by Courtney after the girls performed a fake kidnapping on her, and Courtney stuffs a jawbreaker into her mouth. Liz chokes to death in the trunk of the car. |
