## Biography

### Happy Death Day

Theresa "Tree" Gelbman woke up on her birthday on Monday, September 18 in the dorm room of classmate Carter Davis after a drunken binge the previous evening. Tree went through the day being self-centered, dismissive and condescending to her classmates and previous hook-ups, ignoring her father's invite to a restaurant, throwing away a birthday cupcake given to her by her roommate Lori Spengler, and having an affair with Dr. Gregory Butler, her professor. That night, while going to a party, Tree was lured into a tunnel where she was murdered by a hooded figure wearing a mask of the campus mascot.

Tree woke up the next morning back in Carter's bed with the previous day's events repeating. Unnerved, she relived the day and avoided the tunnel, instead of heading to a fraternity house for a surprise party. However, while hooking up with her classmate Nick Sims, the masked killer murdered him before killing Tree once more. Tree realized she was in a time loop and tried to avoid her death by barricading herself in her room. However, she was murdered again when the killer hid in her bathroom.

During the next loop, she relayed her story to Carter, who suggested that she take advantage of the loop in order to figure out who her killer is. She spent the next loops trailing several suspected classmates, all of which ended in her death as she was stalking the current suspect.

On the next loop after being bludgeoned by a baseball bat from her previous death, Tree passed out shortly after waking up. She awakened in the hospital where she learned she has retained damage from her other murders. Tree escaped the hospital room only to be chased by her killer until she managed to flee in Butler's car. While driving, she is pulled over by a police officer and volunteers to be arrested in order to be spared. However, the killer ran down the officer and set her car on fire, burning Tree to death and sending her through another loop.

Waking up in Carter's bed again, Tree convinced Carter of her predicament by showing that she held foreknowledge of the day's events. Tree admitted to Carter she does not like who she's become; she had also grown distant from her father ever since her mother passed away three years ago and that they had shared the same birthday. Tree caught a local news report on John Tombs, a serial killer who is being held in the hospital on her campus. Concluding that Tombs is her killer, Tree rushes to the hospital to warn of his escape. Tombs broke free and nearly killed Tree, but Carter followed and rescued her. Unfortunately, Tombs snapped Carter's neck before chasing Tree to a nearby bell tower where she managed to subdue him with a crowbar. Realizing that Carter will remain dead if she does not restart the loop, Tree hung herself from the tower.

During the next loop, Tree went around righting the various wrongs she has caused, ending her affair with Dr. Butler, finally meeting with her dad to resolve her inner grief, and resolving to be a kinder person. That night, she prepared to stop Tombs. He managed to get the upper hand on her until Tree utilized a campus-wide blackout that occurred during her loops to disarm him and shoot him to death. Relieved to finally be free, she celebrated her birthday in Carter's room and ate the cupcake given to her by Lori.

However, the next morning Tree woke up again on her birthday. Confused and distraught over the fact that killing Tombs did not stop the time loops, Tree returned to her room in order to run away, where Lori offered the cupcake again. Tree realized that she had died in her sleep, and also noted that this was the only time she had ever eaten the cupcake. Tree realized Lori is the true killer; Lori had poisoned the cupcake, but when Tree did not eat it, she utilized her job in the hospital to frame Tombs for Tree's murder. Lori confessed she was angry that Dr. Butler had shown interest in Tree over her before the two fight. Tree managed to stuff the cupcake into Lori's mouth before kicking her out of a window, sending her falling to her death.

Tree and Carter mused over the day's events back in the restaurant, and he offered her his room for the night, also commenting on her situation was a lot like the film Groundhog Day. Tree woke up the next day believing to be in another loop, but it turned out to be a prank by Carter and the two shared a kiss.

### Happy Death Day 2U

Unlike the first timeline Gregory Butler is not having an affair with Tree, but with Lori instead. His wife did not find out about the affair first, since Tree was not having an affair with Gregory but only Lori was. Tree heard him and his wife arguing about this after she did find out about the affair.

But he and his wife then conspired together to expose the affair, he of course disguises himself as the Baby Face killer to kill Tree and all her friends who get in his way while his wife goes after Lori. He always appears when his victims are unaware of his presence, but in the very end of the movie he revealed himself as Tree and her friends' killer. As his wife shot Lori, he then attacks Tree again as his wife gives him the gun to kill Tree, but he shot Stephanie instead as he tells her he wanted a divorce as his wife slowly died.

As he is about to kill Tree for good, Carter then distracts him so that Tree can escape and he chases her to the exam room of an MRI Machine. As he was about to kill her, Tree then grabbed him, threw him against the machine and stabbed him to death with a screwdriver.
