The following is a list of characters from the Fox black comedy horror series Scream Queens. The first season focuses on the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority in Wallace University, led by Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts), that is being targeted by a serial killer who uses the Red Devil mascot uniform. The second season focuses on the murder spree committed by another serial killer using a Green Meanie costume at the C.U.R.E. institute, a new hospital where Chanel and her friends work.
Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts) is the incredibly egotistical, uncaring, self-centered queen bee and sociopathic president and also of Kappa Kappa Tau at Wallace University. She is suspected to have viciously burned her predecessor, Melanie Dorkus, after filling her spray tan tank with hydrochloric acid in retribution for her abuse towards her. Her cruel attitude and entitled personality, coupled with decades of shady activity in the sorority causes the Dean, Cathy Munsch, to revoke the charter, however Gigi intercedes and Chanel is horrified when she has to accept anyone who wishes to join Kappa which causes all of the other sisters and potential pledges, aside from her minions known as the Chanels, to leave. She is the on and off girlfriend of Chad Radwell, the head of the Dickie Dollar Scholars fraternity. She harbors an intense hatred towards Chanel #5 and often insults her and also becomes suspicious of Hester who had been put through a major makeover to become Chanel #6. She was sent to prison after Chanel #5, under the control of Hester, had turned her in about the incident of Ms. Bean, who was unintentionally murdered by Chanel in a prank gone wrong. 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 and the Chanels plan 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. In "Black Friday", Chanel and her Chanels have an encounter with the Red Devil while shopping during the Black Friday sale. When Chanel is cornered by the Red Devil, Chanel is maimed with an arrow, before Denise Hemphill arrives, revealing that she is now the head of the police. After recovering, Chanel assumes that Dean Munsch is the Red Devil and plans with the Chanels and Zayday (and initially Grace, before being persuaded otherwise by Pete) to do away with her. However, all of her attempts are unfounded, including her last effort to drown her which is foiled. When she writes a long and cruel missive to the other Chanels because of their failure to help her in her last attempt in killing the Dean, the media takes hold of the said letter which ruins her reputation. She contemplates suicide, but was convinced by Zayday to keep fighting, thus inspiring her to bounce back. Part of this is faking an apology to Melanie and attempting to kill her, as Chanel thought that Melanie was the Red Devil, before Grace reveals the Red Devil is Hester.
