Tricia is revealed to be one of a series of clones that staff the space bunker. Her origin, including killing her competition, are part of each Tricia’s backstory. There are thousands of deceased Tricias being stored in space bunker Beige Room.

The first Tricia we meet in episode 10 is Tricia-8049. Upon discovering the cache of her deceased predecessors, she turns on the Mysterious Man, injuring him badly while she escapes the bunker in a travel pod.

After her escape, Tricia-8049 encountered Kern in the Gresforn Galaxy. They were last seen making a painfully awkward attempt to kindle a romantic relationship.

After his recovery under the care of Craig, the Mysterious Man anticipates the arrival of Tricia-8050, who first appears post-credits in episode 74. With Craig now filling the role of primary assistant to the Mysterious Man, this Tricia is given only menial and pointless tasks, while being denied any knowledge of bunker operations. In the weeks following the end of season one, she reaches a breaking point. She also escapes the bunker by stealing a pod, this time injuring Craig in the process.

It appears that Tricia-8051 arrives in season 2, episode 49, but she soon reveals to Craig that she is Tricia-8050, having returned in the guise of a “fresh” Tricia to uncover the secrets of the Mysterious Man and the space bunker. She is prepared to kill the Mysterious Man and destroy the bunker depending on what they discover (the real Tricia-8051 arrives later and is sent away, her current whereabouts are unknown).

The following months of bunker intrigue see many power plays, reprogrammings, defenestrations, coronations, and coups. However the Mysterious Man, Craig, & Tricia eventually cooperate to alert Space Bunker High Command to the threat of the Void.

All three are transported to Space Bunker High Command where Tricia was instrumental in the destruction of the Void. She is rewarded with a command of her own, Space Bunker Omega.

Tricia-8050 tracks the Mysterious Man to Earth, and discovers the government facility where he is continuing his broadcasts. While exploring the city Tricia discovers & becomes enamored with the Chicago improv community & begins performing at the Improv Pantry.

Her efforts to introduce props into improvisation causes ripples of widespread chaos throughout Chicago's theaters, leading to devastation in the city's theater district.¹ Tricia takes it upon herself to rebuild the city's theater community,² and moves into the Institute while she does so. The one-clone show she develops toward that end is not a success.³ To prepare for a "Shawshank: The Musical" audition she locks herself in one of the Institute's holding cells.⁴

Tricia is played by Kate James.
