Theresa "Tree" Gelbman is a fictional character in Christopher Landon's slasher film Happy Death Day (2017) and its sequel, Happy Death Day 2U (2019). She was created by writer Scott Lobdell and portrayed by Jessica Rothe in both of her performances.[1][2] Gelbman's storyline revolves around her being murdered on the night of her birthday and finding herself reliving the day repeatedly. She uses this as an opportunity to figure out her killer's identity and prevent her death from ever occurring.
