Chanel Oberlin is a fictional character from the Fox comedy horror series Scream Queens. The character is portrayed by actress Emma Roberts and has appeared in the series since its pilot episode. She is introduced as the rich and self-centered president of Kappa Kappa Tau sorority at Wallace University during the first season, where it was targeted by a serial killer in a red devil costume. In the second season, she is enlisted as a medical nurse by Dean Cathy Munsch in the C.U.R.E. Institute, where again, serial killings occur. Chanel was developed by Ryan Murphy and was created specifically for Roberts. The character, along with Roberts' portrayal has been acclaimed by critics and has become popular in the internet with quotations made by Roberts as Chanel.
Chanel is the incredibly egotistical, uncaring, self-centered queen bee, sociopathic president of Kappa Kappa Tau at Wallace University, and the leader of a popular clique she named after herself, The Chanels, which consists of Chanel #2 (Ariana Grande), Chanel #3 (Billie Lourd), and Chanel #5 (Abigail Breslin), the latter whom she harbors a huge hatred towards and often be the subject of her insults. She is also the on and off girlfriend of Chad Radwell (Glen Powell), the equally self-centered head of the Dickie Dollar Scholars. She is suspected to have viciously burned her predecessor, Melanie Dorkus (Brianne Howey), after filling her spray tan tank with hydrochloric acid in retribution for her abuse towards her. Her bullying activities in the sorority causes the university's dean, Dean Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis), to revoke the sorority's charter. However, the Kappa Kappa Tau's national president, Gigi Caldwell (Nasim Pedrad) intercedes, but not before she and Dean Munsch make a deal. Chanel is horrified when it was revealed by Munsch that she has to accept anyone who wishes to join Kappa which allows outcast students to pledge. She and her minions try to scare the new pledges away with a prank gone wrong when she unintentionally burnt Ms. Bean (Jan Hoag), the housemaid's face. When Chanel #2 and Tiffany "Deaf Taylor Swift" was killed by the Red Devil, Gigi hired Denise Hemphill to protect Kappa house. Later on, she decided to give Hester Ulrich (Lea Michelle) a makeover, nicknaming her Chanel #6, but later she became suspicious of her because of her hypocrite and backstabbing personality. She has an intense anger towards Grace and Zayday after the latter decides to run for the president of Kappa Kappa Tau. The two were forced to become co-presidents after the votes are tied; Chanel then reveals that she deliberately wanted Zayday to become president to save herself from becoming a target of the Red Devil. She forces The Chanels to try their best to expose Grace and Zayday as she believes that they are working with the Red Devil - all the while, the other Chanels plan to murder Chanel out of fear that she was the killer, which she reluctantly forgives them for. During her quest to prove that Grace is one of the killers, she unearths information about the true identity of Grace's mother and cruelly reveals it to her, but later apologizes and admits that she has an abusive mother herself. During the Thanksgiving, she joined Chad's family Thanksgiving in which she and Hester became the subject of the Radwells' insults. She and Hester make up and stand against the Radwells and leave, later joined by Chad himself. After previously suspecting Grace and Zayday, Chanel moves to suspect Dean Munsch and convince the Chanels and Zayday to kill Dean Munsch, which backfires. Near the finale, Chanel fakes an apology to Melanie Dorkus, only to reveal her intention to kill her because she thought Melanie is the killer. As the season come to an end, the Chanels are framed by Hester, revealed to be the Red Devil, and got disowned by their own families. They are sentenced to life in the asylum, where they unexpectedly find happiness. She became best friends with #5 after the latter receive some medications and Chanel also got voted as the "house president". One night, before going to bed, she is visited by a knife-wielding Red Devil, leaving her screaming.
