Virginia "Ginny" Field is a character and the main protagonist in the Friday the 13th franchise. She makes her first appearance in the 1981 sequel Friday the 13th Part 2. She subsequently has a cameo appearance in Friday the 13th Part III (1982).
Originally, she was supposed to return as the main character, with Jason stalking her in a mental asylum similar to how Michael Myers stalked Laurie Strode in the hospital in Halloween II (1981). However, Steel feared being typecast and ultimately turned down the offer of reprising her role.
Outside of film, Ginny appears in the novelizations making her literary debut in Friday the 13th Part III: A Novel (1982). Although she doesn't physically appear, Ginny is referenced in the video game Friday the 13th: The Game (2017). In academic materials, she has been regarded as an example of the "final girl" trope.
