History
Initially claiming to be a visiting pod-castor investigating the new Lakewood murders, it is revealed she is the daughter of the original killer, Brandon James, and his best friend Maggie Duval. After Brandon's death by police, Maggie's parents made her give up the baby for adoption, with Maggie never even knowing if the baby was a boy or a girl.

This drove Piper mad, as she believed her younger half-sister Emma had "the perfect life", while she never got to know her parents. Ultimately, upon finding out who her parents were, Piper decided to plan a "reboot" killing spree, targeting Emma's friends in order to make her suffer.

Piper was also a famous podcaster, who documented murders. She used this as her cover to interact with the citizens of Lakwood, and also "bonded" with Emma. As Ghostface, she took great pleasure in making Emma suffer by killing her friends, and making Emma feel indirectly responsible. Emma grew to trust Piper and would confide in her, should would only confirm to Piper that she was succeeding in her goal.

Piper carefully orchestrated everything, so that she and Emma could have a final showdown where she gleefully revealed her true self to Emma, taking in pleasure in Emma's shock and horror that someone she considered a friend was the killer. Piper managed to severely wound Emma and her mother. As she prepared to finish Emma off, she was shot in the back and fell into the water. She later emerged and was shot in the head by Emma.
