The following is a list of characters from the 2002 horror film The Ring.

The Ring

Rachel Keller

Rachel Keller is a journalist living in Seattle with her son Aidan. After her niece's strange death after watching a rumored cursed videotape that supposedly kills you seven days after watching it. Rachel's curiosity led her to a cabin in which her niece and three of her friends watched the tape. After finding it, Rachel foolishly watches it which leads her to receive a phonecall in which a whispery voice says "seven days". After both her ex-boyfriend and her son watch it she investigates Moesko Island in which the tape apparently came from. Rachel then learns of the girl Samara Morgan who was put up for adoption and was then murdered by her adoptive mother, Anna after Samara somehow burned images from her mind into her mind. Rachel finds Samara's corpse lying at the bottom of a well buried beneath the cabin which the tape was first found. Rachel organises a proper buriel for Samara, supposedly putting her spirit to rest. She thinks that everything is fine seeming as she is now on her "eighth day" until her ex-boyfriend, Noah is killed by Samara. Rachel learns that she survived because she made a copy of the tape and showed it to someone else; Noah.

Aidan Keller

Aidan is the son of Rachel and Noah Keller. He is sensitive to psychic things. During both films, Samara burns images from her mind into Aidan due to his condition. Aidan is often quiet and very strange, calling his mother by her actual name. He is like Samara Morgan in many ways. In the Ring 2, we see a different side to Aidan where he and Samara become one, as he is possessed by Samara's evil spirit.

Noah Clay

Noah is Rachel Keller's ex-boyfriend and the father to Aidan. Noah is a depictable man and often thinks he is very cool. His occupation is photography and working with cameras, which is why he is good at inspecting the cursed videotape and learning where it came from. Noah is killed by Samara Morgan in the first film due to Rachel copying the tape and showing it him.

What Samara exactly does to her victims is still unknown but looking at facial expressions of her victims can give an idea of the horror within.

Katie Embry

Katie was the niece of Rachel Keller, as well as being cousins and close friends with Aiden. When Katie, her boyfriend and two of his friends went to stay in a cabin they recorded a football match onto a videotape. However, when they watched the tape they viewed a series of grainy black and white images which ended with a phone call with a mysterious voice saying "seven days". Exactly seven days later Katie died in her home and her best friend Becca went insane. It's also noted during a scene in which Rachel is speaking with people at Katie's funeral that her boyfriend also passed away, at the exact same time.

Rebecca 'Becca' Kotler

Rebecca 'Becca' Kotler was a friend of Katie Embry. On the night of Katie's last day, Becca supposedly witnessed Katie's mysterious death. After that, Becca went insane and was taken to a special institution.
