Karen Davis is a fictional character from The Grudge franchise. Being the central character of the American franchise, she uncovers the Saeki house's dark past and is the only one to survive the first film. She returns in The Grudge 2 and compels her sister, Aubrey, to put a stop to the curse. Her portrayal was met with acclaim by critics and the films crew.[1] She makes a cameo appearance in The Grudge 3 with a flashback scene.
Karen is the American counterpart for Rika Nishina, the main character of Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) though their fates differ between films, as Rika's death scene in the original film was instead given to Karen's sister Aubrey in The Grudge 2.
