Each entry in the series features a different cast of characters, including a final girl who defeats the killer in the end.

Portrayed by Adrienne King (1980 - The Final Chapter) and Stephanie Rhodes (2009) Appears in: Friday the 13th (1980), Friday the 13th Part 2, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Friday the 13th (2009) Status: Alive (reboot timeline) / Deceased (original timeline) Died in: Friday the 13th Part 2
Alice Hardy is one of the camp counselors hired by Steve Christy to reopen and work at Camp Crystal Lake. In the film, the counselors are murdered until she is eventually left alone as the only survivor, and is discovered by Pamela Voorhees. Mrs. Voorhees explains to Alice how her son Jason drowned at the camp several years ago, and reveals herself to be the killer. After a long chase and a brief struggle, Alice is finally able to decapitate Mrs. Voorhees with a machete before passing out in a canoe on the lake. There, she suffers a nightmare in which Jason's decayed corpse drags her underwater. The police arrive and take Alice to the hospital. When she tells them her story, they explain that they did not find a boy, to which she replies "Then he's still there..." Alice makes a brief reappearance in the opening scene of Friday the 13th Part 2, where she is stabbed in the temple with an ice pick in her apartment by an adult Jason Voorhees, who evidently survived his childhood drowning and had tracked her down. Later in the movie, Paul explains how Alice went missing and blood was found in her apartment. Her decomposed body is later seen in Jason's shack. Alice also appears in a flashback in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
Although always the heroine, Alice was originally scripted as a slightly less sympathetic character than seen in the final cut of the first film. In early drafts, she was having an affair with a married man on the West Coast, which was the reason her relationship with Steve Christy is deteriorating and she wants to leave Crystal Lake. Adrienne King claims she played the character as a traditional horror movie character, stating "I think that Alice is a great scream queen heroine. You got the feeling that Alice could handle anything which, in a way, she could". She also expresses regret that, due to the nature of horror movies, audiences never got to see more of Alice's relationship with Steve, or what could have happened between her and fellow counsellor, Bill. Rather than viewing the character as a victim, King describes the role as an "empowering position" due to her survival in the film. Steve Miner, director of Part 2, says "Alice was a very special character: she was the hero of the first film and indestructible in a way. It was important that she be killed off in a dramatic way because this is Jason's film and avenging the death of his mother is what motivates him." Because the character displayed an artistic side in the first film, production designer Virginia Field included various sketches in her apartment to show that Alice was a "real person". She says, "It didn't seem like a big deal at the time we were filming, but I knew that Alice liked to draw and I wanted to show evidence of that." Adrienne King felt that killing her character was somewhat unusual since she had survived so much in the original film. She claims Alice's death was done in such a way to leave the door open for a possible return, but does not know how she could have survived an icepick through the head.Grove, David, pg.71-73
