9	[[folder:Jenna]]
10	!!Jenna Montgomery
11
12	[-Played by: Creator/DaniellePanabaker -]
13
14	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Nope. Unlike Chelsea or Bree, she's very much not happy when Trent is acting like an asshole. Enough that she doesn't even spare the time to be angry with him for cheating on her.
15	* BreakTheCutie: Jenna is a warm, selfless, happy person who is quick to protect her friends, but by her last couple of scenes, seeing Jason kill nearly everyone else has left her a nervous wreck.
16	* BreakoutCharacter: Jenna is the {{Tritagonist}} of this film but on this very page, she's listed at the top of all the non-Jason characters and treated as TheProtagonist of the movie, [[spoiler: and despite being impaled by Jason, is treated as the film's true FinalGirl by many viewers.]]
17	* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler: Meant to appear as the film's final girl until Jason takes her out.]]
18	* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: She gets cut down unceremoniously and anticlimactically near the end.]]
19	* CompositeCharacter: She's a very loose amalgamation of Chris Higgins from part 3, who was connected to the owner of a lakeside summer house, and Trish Jarvis from part 4, who was helping the brother of one of Jason's victims.
20	* FinalGirl: Of the reboot. [[AvertedTrope Or not]].
21	* GirlNextDoor: She's still beauty pageant level gorgeous and dating the rich preppy jock, but is still portrayed as the comparatively decent and good natured member of the pack of boozey jackals.
22	* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Jenna says that she hated summer camp as a kid, paints her toenails, and has a distinctly feminine hairstyle and set of accessories. However, she shows interest in taking a hike around Crystal Lake after arriving at Trent's cabin.
23	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Jenna only reaches Clay's shoulder. For reference, Danielle Panabaker is 5'6", and Jared Padalecki is 6'4".
24	* HopeSpot: [[spoiler: Looked like she has a chance to escape with Whitney and Clay and fulfill the FinalGirl trope, only to suddenly and unexpectedly getting ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice.]]
25	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Jason skewers poor Jenna from behind after catching up to the protagonists as they flee his lair.]]
26	* NiceGirl: Is very sweet to Clay and tries to help him find his sister.
27	* OhCrap: She gives a ''very'' wide-eyed expression when Jason drops a decapitated body right in front of her.
28	* OnlySaneWoman: Of her and Trent's group, who is the only one not obsessively discussing or partaking in drugs, alcohol, or sexual indiscretions.
29	* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:While most of the action is driven by Clay, the majority of the film is from her perspective til about 5 minutes before the end when she [[UncertainDoom apparently]] dies.]]
30	* PinkMeansFeminine: Jenna is a gorgeous GirlNextDoor type who wears a pink tank top throughout the film.
31	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Jenna and Clay see Jason carrying a dead body and narrowly avoid his attention. As Jason leaves, Jenna declares that they have to get out of there (although she cares about warning the others as well as preserving their own safety) after Clay suggests following Jason and brings Clay around to her point of view.
32	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She clearly has much better chemistry with NiceGuy Clay than with {{Jerkass}} Trent. Unused concepts for the film include a scene where she engages in CasualDangerDialogue and asks him on a date while they're trying to get away from Jason.
33	* SummerCampy: Jenna tells Clay that she never liked the camp she went to as a kid because it had bad food, cheap toilet paper, and too many bugs (in the original script the experience was even more miserable: her mom mom made her go to cheerleading camp when she had little to no interest in that kind of summer camp and the coach groped her).
34	* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler:Jenna, seemingly the movie's FinalGirl in the vein of Ginny Field or Chris Higgins, is impaled by Jason from out of nowhere during the third act, leaving Whitney as the film's actual FinalGirl.]]
35	* TheThreeFacesOfEve: She's the '''Child''', being the sweetest and kindest of all the film's cast, and hardly even swears throughout the movie.
36	* TurnTheOtherCheek: After [[spoiler:Lawrence]] is brutally murdered, Jenna comforts a traumatized Bree, even though she slept with Jenna's boyfriend and was a SmugSmiler afterward.
37	* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: Look carefully at where she was impaled. It was on the slight right side of her chest, closer to her lung than her heart. Her eyes are open, there's not a lot of blood, and she's still standing and making sounds for several seconds after she's impaled, [[MadeOfIron making it possible that she wasn't mortally wounded]].]]
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:Whitney]]
41	!!Whitney Miller
42
43	[-Played by: Creator/AmandaRighetti -]
44
45	* ActionGirl: Sort of. She's held prisoner for much of the movie but still manages to stun Jason, saving Clay, and delivers the final blow by ramming his machete through him.
46	* DeadPersonImpersonation: Much like Ginny in Part II, Whitney pretends to be Pamela in an effort to stun and kill Jason. Her similar appearance to Jason's mother is why he spares her and keeps her prisoner.
47	* {{Expy}}:
48	** A combination of Ginny from part 2, who similarly used her resemblance to Jason's mother against him, Sandra Dier from part 4, who was similarly a victim of Jason that motivated her brother, as well as of Trish Jarvis, who also managed to help kill Jason alongside her brother.
49	* FinalGirl: The opening sequence hints at her being the final girl, only to show her getting offed alongside her friends... Only to reveal not too long after that she's still alive, and aims to keep it that way. The ending leaves her fate ambiguous although the planned script for the sequel was to reveal that Jason did in fact kill her.
50	* IWillFindYou: Clay wants to find at her [[TheDeterminator at any cost]] and is even willing to fight Jason.
51	* LivingMacGuffin: Clay's attempts to find her form the main crux of the film's plot.
52	* RedheadInGreen: Amanda Righetti is a natural redhead and the outfit that Whitney wears throughout nearly all her screen time is a pair of jeans and a green shirt.
53	* TheThreeFacesOfEve: She's the '''Wife'''. She's as wholesome as Jenna, but is hardened into a more active combatant against Jason, using a DeadPersonImpersonation to distract Jason, and even managing to impale him on his own machete.
54	* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:The movie ends with a seemingly still-alive Jason ([[AmbiguousEnding himself an example of this trope]]) bursting through the dock to grab Whitney. The credits roll without it being revealed if Whitney lived or died, or if the scene even really happened and wasn't a dream, like Jason's appearance in the first film was.]]
55	[[/folder]]
56
57	[[folder:Trent]]
58	!!Trent
59
60	[-Played by: Creator/TravisVanWinkle -]
61
62	* AssholeVictim: Has virtually no redeeming qualities and suffers a brutal death at the hands of Jason.
63	* BigJerkOnCampus: He is popular, spoiled, arrogant, prickish, and just all around awful in every way possible. He’s such a HateSink, you find yourself cheering for Jason when he brutally murders Trent.
64	* CharacterOverlap: WordOfGod has it this Trent is the one and the same Trent [=DeMarco=] from ''Film/{{Transformers\|2007}}'' meaning that this film and the ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' are possibly in [[TheVerse the same universe]].
65	* DirtyCoward: When he realizes Jason is really out there killing, he attempts to save himself and at first Jenna and leave Clay for dead, then when Jenna goes with Clay against Trent's demands, he splits up to save himself.
66	* {{Expy}}: He's basically the GenderFlip version of {{Alpha Bitch}}es Melissa from ''Part 7'' and Tamara Mason from ''Part 8''.
67	* HairTriggerTemper: The guy tries to throw his panicked and crying girlfriend out of his house and into the wilderness purely just because she spoke to a guy in general that wasn't him. One of his first scenes in the movie is calling Clay a dick for trying to hang up missing posters of his sister and making Trent have to wait all of a minute to buy a bottle of water.
68	* HateSink: With literally no redeeming qualities whatsoever, it's truly a mystery why Jenna even dates this guy to begin with.
69	* HopeSpot: When he manages to reach the road to escape Jason's rampage and caught the attention of a motorist, it seems [[KarmaHoudini he's going to be rescued]], [[spoiler: until Jason appears behind him and kills him]].
70	* {{Hypocrite}}: He cheats on his girlfriend without much concern for disguising it at all, yet acts like the CrazyJealousGuy when she talks to Clay about his missing sister. He also accuses Jenna of sleeping with Clay ''immediately'' after he's finished having sex with Bree.
71	* ItsAllAboutMe: Trent is a self-important DirtyCoward who seems to consider himself the center of the universe and has no respect at all for anyone else. He considers buying himself a bottle of water to be more important than Clay trying to find his missing sister, considering ''Clay'' the asshole for making him wait and taking offense at any implication otherwise.
72	* {{Jerkass}}: Where to begin? He's an ass to basically everyone in the movie, cheats on his girlfriend, and otherwise has zero redeeming qualities. It's implied that none of his friends actually ''like'' him and they're just using him for a free lake trip (and a roll in the hay, in Bree's case).
73	* LackOfEmpathy: Trent has zero regard for Clay's mission to find his missing sister, callously telling him to get out of the way [[ItsAllAboutMe so Trent can buy some water]], throwing out a missing poster that Clay stuck to his car with a look of annoyance, and, even with Jason on the warpath, tells Jenna to abandon Clay, ultimately [[DirtyCoward abandoning them both to save his own hide]].
74	* PetTheDog: He seems unhappy with the idea of staying in the house as they hear [[spoiler: Lawrence]] being killed and used as bait.
75	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: When [[spoiler: Bree's body falls in front of him, he gives this out in reaction]].
76	* SexSignalsDeath: Sleeps with Bree and dies shortly after.
77	* SkewedPriorities:
78	** After Chewie burns his lip and falls over, Trent's main concern is that he broke a chair while falling.
79	** Trent continues to antagonize Clay even while he and Jenna are desperately trying to get across the point that a killer is on the loose.
80	* TooDumbToLive: See WrongGenreSavvy below.
81	* WhatADrag: [[spoiler:After being impaled on some far equipment on a truck, the driver then drives off, unwittingly taking Trent's corpse with him.]]
82	* WrongGenreSavvy: While running away from Jason, Trent comes across a truck, whose driver is willing to pick him up. Trent then starts doubting the driver's friendliness, which gives enough time for Jason to catch up to him.
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:Clay]]
86	!!Clay Miller
87
88	[-Played by: Creator/JaredPadalecki -]
89
90	* TheAtoner: {{Implied\|Trope}}; by his own admission, Clay "took off" as a young man, leaving Whitney to look after their mother, and to care for her when their mother became ill, something he sounds none too proud of when telling it to Jenna, suggesting that it's an extra motivation to find Whitney.
91	* BigBrotherInstinct: Clay keeps up the search for his sister long after anyone else has given up, and he proves willing to fight ''Jason Voorhees'' to protect her.
92	* CombatPragmatist: While Whitney distracts Jason, Clay attacks him from behind by slamming a bear trap into his shoulder and wrapping a chain around his neck.
93	* CurbStompCushion: Clay is no match for Jason in a straight fight, but he does make a dedicated effort during the climax, even managing to tackle Jason into a wall (no mean feat, given Jason's [[EvilIsBigger size]]).
94	* {{Determinator}}: Despite receiving no help from the police or Crystal Lake locals (one of whom even ''encourages'' Clay to give up), Clay refuses to give up on finding Whitney, and he even holds his own in a fight with Jason to try and protect her.
95	* {{Expy}}: Shares some similarities to Rob Dier from ''The Final Chapter'', since he's motivated by his lost sister and all. Also likely meant to harken Tommy Jarvis, who was the closest thing to Jason's nemesis in the series, and first slew him alongside his sister. There are also deliberate elements of [[Series/{{Supernatural}} Sam Winchester]] in his performance.
96	* FinalBoy: Quite possibly the only survivor of the movie.
97	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Clay is OneHeadTaller than Jenna. For reference, Danielle Panabaker is 5'6", and Jared Padalecki is 6'4".
98	* MadeOfIron: Clay manages to stand up to ''multiple'' thrashings from Jason and keep going, even managing to fight back.
99	* NiceGuy: Is quiet and inoffensive and manages to shrug off most of Trent's squawking with frustrated bewilderment.
100	* YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith: As Trent keeps getting all Alpha Male in Clay's face, Clay has zero fucks to give, apparently feeling quite confident Trent poses no real threat to him. This trope is implied, as Clay is headed for far scarier things than Trent.
101	[[/folder]]
102
103	[[folder:Bree]]
104	!!Bree
105
106	[-Played by: Creator/JuliannaGuill -]
107
108	* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: A possible explanation for her seduction of Trent (which could bring their sex scene into QuestionableConsent territory, especially given that he wasn’t drunk himself) and wandering off alone towards an open window when she knows there’s a killer lurking nearby is that she's drunk.
109	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She's clearly attracted to {{Jerkass}} Trent, and eventually manages to get him to have very wild sex with her. An early scene has her clearly liking that Jenna and Clay have clear chemistry, implicitly because she wants them together so she could have Trent.
110	* BuxomBeautyStandard: Trent has ample reason to never shut up about her breasts.
111	* CallingYourOrgasms: Bree lets Trent know that she is close, before TheImmodestOrgasm ensues.
112	* CameraFiend: She's shown filming everyone's bizarre antics early in the film. And she also uses it to make a HomePornMovie with Trent.
113	* DeadpanSnarker: As Trent keeps going on about how "stupendous" her breasts are, she wryly replies "[[SarcasmMode Wow, you sure know how to make a girl feel special.]]"
114	* EasilyForgiven: By Jenna, although this may just be a case of averting SkewedPriorities.
115	* EveryoneHasStandards: She's a party girl, but even ''she'' won't drink out of a dirty sweaty shoe.
116	* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Spends a lot of her screen time getting drunk or playing drinking games with the men in the group.
117	** Unlike many examples, it's subtly implied that the "party girl" part is a result of the hard-drinking, as she seems more reserved and amiable earlier in the day, but is seen drinking steadily throughout it. By the evening, she is dancing provocatively and coming onto Chewie and then Trent.
118	* HystericalWoman: When she hears [[spoiler:Lawrence]] being horrifically killed while she and the others can’t help him, she heals for someone to do something and then breaks down crying and whimpering. Ironically, Jenna is the one who helps her out of it.
119	* ImmodestOrgasm: Bree lets the viewer and Trent know that she is thoroughly enjoying having sex with him with her constant moaning, and this doesn't stop until she orgasms equally loudly.
120	* InformedAttribute: Her friendship with Chelsea. The two never even interact.
121	* {{Jerkass}}: Downplayed compared to Trent, but she still sleeps with her friend's boyfriend and shows no sympathy when Jenna finds them in the act, not that Jenna is too bothered about it. [[WordOfStPaul Bree's actress Julianna Guill]] did later say in an interview that Bree had a "vindictive streak".
122	* LampshadeHanging: She's the only one to comment on Clay and Jenna's obvious chemistry, which is far stronger than that she has with Trent. Specifically, she comments "This should be interesting" when she sees Clay walking into the cabin with Jenna.
123	* MsFanservice: She's the one to provide nudity for the audience, and the third woman to show her boobs on camera.
124	* NotSoAboveItAll: Quickly goes from being a DeadpanSnarker in SarcasmMode to Trent to a case of TheImmodestOrgasm.
125	* PetTheDog: She's polite to Clay when he comes over to the house, offering him a beer, and also is clearly affected by [[spoiler:Lawrence and Chewie]] being killed.
126	* PinkMeansFeminine: Bree is one of the most genuine characters in the film and wears pink underwear.
127	* RasputinianDeath: Jason strangles her a bit, hangs her bodily from a coat hook on a door, Trent then shoots the door thinking her struggling noises are Jason, with the bullet hitting her, and then ''finally'' Jason throws her out the window onto the hood of Trent's car.
128	* SexSignalsDeath: She has sex with Trent and dies shortly after, without having done much else in the film.
129	* SexyShirtSwitch: She spends several minutes just wearing a collared shirt from Trent's bedroom, although unusually for the trope -- although not the franchise -- the actual sex between the two was shown in great detail.
130	* ShipperWithAnAgenda: {{Implied\|Trope}}. She's very obviously attracted to Trent, enough that she was a wild sex scene with him. The smile on her face when she sees Jenna letting Clay into the cabin makes it seem like she wanted Clay to "steal" Jenna from Trent so that she could have Trent to herself. Also {{Downplayed\|Trope}} in that she doesn't actively try to hook them up.
131	* SmugSmiler: Gives Jenna a smug look after emerging from the bedroom with Trent. [[BreakTheCutie It does not last long.]]
132	* TheThreeFacesOfEve: She's the '''Seductress'''. As you can see from most of her entries in this folder, she's a HardDrinkingPartyGirl and the biggest MsFanservice.
133	* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Her reaction to [[{{Jerkass}} Trent]] wanting her to drink out of the shoe after ''he'' was the one who lost the beer pong game.
134	[[/folder]]
135
136	[[folder:Lawrence]]
137	!!Lawrence
138
139	[-Played by: Creator/ArlenEscarpeta -]
140
141	* BlackDudeDiesFirst: {{Averted}}. Lawrence dies, but is not amongst the first to go.
142	* EverythingIsRacist: {{Invoked\|Trope}} in a joking way; Lawrence claims that making him pump gas would be a bad look, and {{troll}}s Chelsea for assuming that the music he's trying to sell is rap (which it ''is'', as Lawrence admits with a grin a moment later). He doesn't seem to consider either moment to actually be racist, only saying so to either get out of work or make a joke.
143	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Somewhat rare for Jason, Lawrence's death was dragged out much longer than his usual blunt and swift methods.
144	* PluckyComicRelief: With Chewie.
145	* TheBait: An attempted villainous example. After Jason hurls an axe into his spine, he makes no move to finish off the helpless Lawrence. Instead, Jason lets him beg and plead for help, hoping to draw the others out. However when Clay doesn't fall for it, Jason simply finishes him off.
146	* TheStoner: Shares a romantic relationship with Chewie's bong.
147	* ThoseTwoGuys: With Chewie, who spend the movie drinking and smoking together while ogling Bree.
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Chewie]]
151	!!Chewie
152
153	[-Played by: Creator/AaronYoo -]
154
155	* BigEater: A given for [[TheStoner his character type]]; when the group stops at a gas station, Chewie picks up a huge armful of junk food.
156	* PluckyComicRelief: With Lawrence.
157	* TheStoner: Brings his bong which he has affectionately named, and gets drunk as fast as he can the moment they reach the lake.
158	* ThoseTwoGuys: With Lawrence.
159	* UnfazedEveryman: Rather than scream or run at first on seeing Jason, he tries to act friendly to him offering a hockey stick with his mask...it worked about as well as you'd expect, but props for trying what others didn't do in the previous movies.
160	[[/folder]]
161
162	[[folder:Chelsea]]
163	!!Chelsea
164
165	[-Played by: Creator/WillaFord -]
166	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: When Nolan decides to go on a joy ride in a boat he was told to leave in its place, Chelsea asks "[W]hat does it say about me that I find that hot?"
167	* BreakTheCutie: While cutie might be the wrong word, she's nice enough, the original script characterizes her as more sexually innocent than her friend Bree, and she is left terrified for a drawn out period after seeing Nolan die and trying to swim to safety from Jason, only for him to beat her to the far shore.
168	* DumbBlonde: Blonde and not very smart.
169	* IgnoredEpiphany: Chelsea questions whether they should take Trent's boat after he told them not to but relents after Nolan calls her a "scared little girl."
170	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Subverted. She asks Lawrence if his CD is rap, and he acts offended and accuses Chelsea of stereotyping (for which she apologizes) before admitting that his CD ''is'' rap.
171	* MsFanservice: Pretty much all she does is wakeboard topless and die.
172	[[/folder]]
173
174	[[folder:Nolan]]
175	!!Nolan
176
177	[-Played by: Creator/RyanHansen -]
178
179	* DeadpanSnarker: When Trent tells Nolan "I pay, you pump" in regard to filling up their car, Nolan cracks that he also gives good blowjobs.
180	* DumbBlonde: Just like his girlfriend, Nolan isn't very bright.
181	* ForbiddenFruit: Nolan admits that as soon as Trent forbid him from taking his boat for a joy ride, the temptation to do so became irresistible.
182	* TheGenericGuy: Much like Chelsea, he really has no discernible personality traits.
183	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He gets an arrow through his skull pretty suddenly. So he's got that going for him.
184	[[/folder]]
185
186	[[folder:Donnie]]
187	!!Donnie
188
189	[-Played By: Creator/KyleDavis-]
190
191	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:It's really hard to feel bad when Jason gets him.]]
192	* {{Jerkass}}: Obnoxious, creepy, and very confrontational.
193	* {{Slimeball}}: Donnie is a total dick, and [[CargoShip that's without getting into his weird sexual preferences.]]
