Mason, portrayed by Marisha Ray.[1] Distinguished by her goth clothing and makeup,[3] A.J. shares characteristics with Violet from Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.[4][3] In gameplay, she specializes with high stealth and has a moderately high stamina,[2] though her physical strength is lower than that of many of the counselors.[5]

Brandon "Buggzy" Wilson "The Jock"
