Vanessa Cassidy (Teresa Palmer) is the tertiary antagonist from The Grudge 2, the American version of the Japanese horror movie series. She is the typical spoiled, blonde, rich bully of the International School in Tokyo, Japan.
Vanessa and her friend Miyuki dares new student Allison, from Chicago, to enter the Saeki house; which was allegedly the most haunted house in Japan. There, she locks Allison in the closet where Allison encounters Aubrey Davis's ghost as part of the curse. The trio somehow escape the horrors of the Saeki house but have brought the curse upon themselves. Miyuki was first to be consumed by the curse. Along the way, Vanessa wets herself when Kayako comes out to scare her. Vanessa wonders where Miyuki was and attempts to text her. However, strange occurrences occur when the lights suddenly go off. She hides under the table and accidentally grabs Toshio Saeki's cold feet. Terrified, Vanessa escapes the building on to the street where bewildered people look at her. She enters the phone booth to call Miyuki but upon picking up, she only hear Kayako's iconic death rattle. She looks down below to see Toshio below her feet at the phone booth. She is later killed by Kayako Saeki by means of strangling or consumed with the vengeful spirit's hair. She is later turned into an evil spirit, now a slave of the Saeki curse.
Both the spirit of Miyuki and Vanessa continued to haunt Allison, even revealing themselves to her when Allison was with the school councilor (whom was a ghost herself after being consumed by the curse as well). Allison returns to Chicago, USA but ghosts continued to haunt her to the other side of the globe, where they were witnessed by a young boy named Jake.
