Pamela Murray is a character in the Scream Roleplay Universe, appearing in the first two volumes of The Story so Far and in Big Trouble in Little Lakewood: 1988.
A strong personality with a not-unearned reputation as an ice queen, Pamela left a promising career in the finance sector, first to attempt motherhood and, when that proved insufficiently rewarding, to hawk art pieces to the credulous rich, a better racket than banking and slightly more exciting.
Pamela’s family relationships were always fraught, both with her husband Jason and their daughter Rachel, who she relentlessly pushed. Rachel’s forced outing in the fall of 2015 threw Pam for a loop, and she lashed out, pushing Rachel farther away than ever and creating a gap her daughter didn’t live long enough to close.

History
Pamela was born on April 7, 1972, in Lakewood. Her father was Callum Devlin, the director of Wren Lake Community, the town’s independent bank, of whose board he’d been a founding member. Callum was a savvy investor, and the Devlin family was consequently fabulously wealthy. Pamela and her older brother Kirk attended the best schools in the area, going on to high school at the twin Catholic preparatory schools: St. George Prep for Kirk and St. Mary’s Academy for Pamela.
Damage Control
On October 18th, 2015, a video was uploaded to YouTube depicting Rachel making out with another girl. The video went locally viral, attracting reams of unwanted negative attention. Pamela and Jason were thrown by the video, and the realization of their daughter’s sexuality.
As had become an unfortunate trend in their marriage, things quickly became a blame game between Jason and Pam: Pamela accusing Jason of not being a more present father, and even alluding he was a poor model of masculinity for her.1
Origins and Development
Pamela was first attested in the 2015 Season 1 AU, where she was referred to as an unnamed but fearsome figure by her daughter Rachel. She finally appeared in Volume I of The Story so Far, following Rachel’s death. Pamela went on to have appreciably significant roles in the SRU, featuring in Volume II (in which she was unnamed) and then most significantly in Big Trouble in Little Lakewood, where Jamie Teague encounters her both as an adult in 2016 and as a teenager in 1988.
