Nina Patterson

Nina Patterson is a fictional high school student and murder victim featured in the Scream multimedia franchise. Played by actress Bella Thorne, she appeared in the pilot episode of Scream: The Series.

Biography
Nina Patterson was a blonde-haired teenage rich-bitch who attended school at Lakewood 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.

One evening, Nina returned home where she began receiving texts 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 O'Neill'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, chased after her.

She ran about outside for a bit, then returned to the pool as Ghostface pursued her. He stabbed her in the back, causing her to stumble. As they neared the edge of the pool again, Ghostface finished her off by slitting her throat.

Tyler's 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.
