==Who is lonelygirl15?==

[[Bree|Lonelygirl15]], a.k.a. Bree, is an intelligent, yet awkward and geeky teenager. Raised in a strict, isolated household, she lacks many of the social skills possessed by her peers. She never went out with friends much, and spent much of her time reading or playing juvenile games, such as interacting with her three stuffed animals, [[Thor]] the bear, [[Owen]] the turtle, and [[Purple Monkey|P. Monkey]]. Bree was home schooled, and she and her parents moved around a lot, which limited her social experiences and left her without any true friends. For a short while she attended high school, but the social pressures, teasing and her lack of experience proved too overwhelming for her to bear. However, she did leave her short stint in public high school with one friend, [[Daniel]]. Later on, we find that Bree also has one other connection from her short school experience, [[Cassie]].

==Her Beginning==

In June of 2006, Bree bought a webcam and began posting on [[YouTube]]. At first, she posted simple, silly clips of her and her stuffed animals, which she explains were edited by a friend. Later on, however, she opened up to the audience and began sharing more and more about herself, her life, religion and troubles. [[My Parents Suck...|Bree explains]] that her religion often prevents her from doing normal, teenage activities. Along the way, [[The Danielbeast|she introduces Daniel (as DanielBeast)]], her best and only ''real'' friend. Although he just sits on the bed and reads magazines most of the time, he occasionally participates in her clips, such as their spoof of each other, "[[Proving Science Wrong... with Lonelybeast and Danielgirl15]]".

Daniel and Bree spend more and more time together, [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|going on hikes]], [[Swimming!|swimming]] or just sitting in her bedroom. Bree's father asks Daniel to film Bree's play for her annual religious summer camp. Daniel refuses, and [[What Bree's Dad Said...|Bree's father reacts negatively]], straining her friendship with Daniel. Afterwards, tears are shed and angry words are exchanged between the friends. Daniel [[To Hell With Bree's Dad (yeah!)|posts a video]] explaining how he intends to attend her play, though not to film it, much to the surprise and happiness of Bree. Having gotten over the first hurdle in their public relationship, Bree excitedly shares that she has been chosen to participate in a sacred ceremony for her religion. Bree does not share many details about this religion except to say that she is truly committed to her faith.

==Her Rebellion==

Daniel [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!|invites Bree to a party]], something she has never experienced, and with people she only met during her short time in public education (and who also [[Poor Pluto|teased her]] for her intellectual curiosity in science class). Her parents forbid her to go, but Bree [[I'm Going to the Party!|decides to sneak out anyway]]. Much to her dismay, her father is waiting for her when she gets home. She is promptly placed under "[[House Arrest|house arrest]]," and her father forbids her to see Daniel anymore. After this first rebellious act against her parents, it seems as if Bree has become addicted to sneaking out, or perhaps she just relishes her newfound freedom. Daniel invites her on various "dates" and Bree is confused about teen love. She's never had a boyfriend before, and obviously never experienced a kiss, so Daniel's desire to be something more than friends befuddles her, especially when [[My First Kiss|he kisses her]] at another party.

==Her Religion==

In the video [[A Change In My Life]], Bree sheds some light on the ceremony for which she has been chosen to participate. For the [[The Ceremony (ritual)|ceremony]], she has to learn [[Enochian|a new language]], go on a special diet, learn special steps, take [[iron pills|iron supplements]] and receive weekly [[Bree's injections|injections]].

Although Bree promises to have a dinner with Daniel, she realizes that she has to attend an annual [[Fall Equinox]] ceremony for [[Hymn of One|her religion]]. Again, her mysterious religion tears Daniel and Bree apart. She decides that her religion is more important to her than her only friend. She gains a "[[My Helper|helper]]" whose role is to assist her in preparing for the upcoming ceremony. She is already studying hard, dieting, taking pills and receiving mysterious shots. Nevertheless, she enjoys this new female friend. Daniel, still angry, [[Where Are They Going?|follows Bree and her helper]], [[Lucy]], in order to figure out the woman's purpose and motives. Bree sees the videoblog of Daniel following her and is upset. She tells Daniel via [[Daniel Crossed The Line|videoblog]] to leave her alone and stop following her. She also warns him about the power of those in her religious order. Daniel ignores her and begins to become alarmed by the extent to which her religion affects events in Bree's life.

==Her Ceremony==

Daniel finds inconclusive, yet disturbing stories about a man associated with Bree's religion, [[Aleister Crowley]]. He follows Bree and her helper yet again and in a secluded, wooded area stumbles upon the ceremony. As Daniel [[The Ceremony|films part of the secret ritual]], he notices that he is being watched. Fleeing through the darkness, he escapes into his car before being caught. After that, he follows Bree's helper Lucy to her apartment and waits until she leaves, [[Following The Helper|breaking in]] and finding pictures on Lucy's computer of himself videotaping the ceremony, along with maps of locations in Texas, Arizona, California, Alaska and Alberta, Canada. Shaken and paranoid, Daniel is convinced that Bree's "cult," as he calls it, is following him as he followed them. Bree hears of this and becomes extremely worried about Daniel's safety. So he goes "underground," staying at a friend's home to hide from the cult. Daniel calls Bree, finding out that under the instruction of Lucy and other cult members [[I Lied To Daniel|Bree has lied]] to him about the ceremony, which was faked. As it turns out, Bree knows very little about purpose and date of the ''actual'' ceremony. Furthermore, Bree's father seems to have little information about the injections he was giving to her. Bree realizes that Lucy will not answer any of Bree's questions. With Daniel's encouragement, Bree decides not to participate in the ceremony, and her parents surprisingly support her decision. Meanwhile, Bree is contacted by [[Gemma]], an old friend, who warns her of the power and influence of [[The Order|the "Order"]]. This prompts Bree to reunite with Daniel at his house.

==Her Getaway==

While at Daniel's house, [[Still At Daniel's|Bree's parents contact her]] to tell her that she should sleep at Daniel's for the night, an extreme contrast to the conservative parents Bree has known. A few days later, Bree and Daniel, both worried, decide to return to her home after receiving no responses to their numerous phone calls. Upon arriving at the house, and from within the safety of Daniel's car [[On The Run|they witness her parents leaving]] with Lucy and a man from the ceremony. Once the car drives off, the two enter Bree's house to examine the scene. Hidden inside the P. Monkey puppet, Bree finds a note and some money left by her parents. The note advises her to stay with Daniel. Daniel and Bree worry about whether or not Daniel's house is a safe location. They make the decision to run away. They sleep in the car for a few days before settling in to a [[Motels#The first motel|motel]]. Bree seems to be her usual silly self, but [[Someone's Following You|Gemma warns her]] that she is being followed by a "[[Watcher]]", a member of the Order who is stalking them. They both flee again, finding [[Motels#The second motel|another motel]]. [[Silent Treatment|Daniel is upset with Bree]] for not taking the situation seriously.

==Her New Friend==

Bree is left a video comment by [[Jonas]], who wishes Lonelygirl and Danielbeast a [[Happy Thanksgiving]]. He does not give out much background information about himself, and says only that his parents mysteriously disappeared while sailing six years ago, and expresses his sympathy for Bree, a fellow "orphan". Meanwhile, Daniel and Bree return to their motel room to find it [[Ransacked!|ransacked]]. With all of their money stolen, and now having only the small amount left that Daniel is carrying, and they flee once again. Daniel becomes increasingly aggravated and wants to go back home, but Bree is not convinced that they are safe. Bree receives a vblog from Gemma who fears she too is being followed by a Watcher. [[Scared To Go Home|Scared to go home]], Gemma hides out at a friend's home, noticeably distressed, much like Daniel when he realized he was being followed. The situation for Bree and Daniel grows increasingly worse when Daniel is informed by someone named [[Tachyon]] that his car is bugged with a tracking device. Deciding that the safest choice is to [[Homeless|abandon the car]], the now-homeless couple has to resort to dumpster diving for food and a dirty abandoned warehouse for shelter. In November 28th online chat session, it is suggested that Bree and Daniel accept the help of Jonas, who is apparently rich, unemployed and lives alone in a large house. However, Daniel and Gemma are not convinced. Bree [[Your Decision|chooses to stay with Jonas]], but Daniel decides to [[Back Home|return home]].

==Her Betrayal==

Jonas posts [[Tough Cookie|a video claiming that Gemma was lying]] about being in London; apparently she is in California and still active in the Order. This, along with Daniel's abandonment of her, drives Bree to sulk for several days. Meanwhile, Daniel decides to go [[Back At Bree's|back to Bree's house]] and investigate, finding evidence that leads him to [[Breaking And Entering|break into a pharmaceutical warehouse]]. Bree decides to take action herself and begins by [[Bree Phone Home|calling her friends and family]] to see if anyone has had contact with her parents. She initially seems to find no helpful information, but in a call to an uncle, receives a coded message from her father, indicating that he is okay and requesting that she meet him. She reminisces about her old friend [[Cassie]] with whom Bree made some prank phone calls during their brief friendship. By the time she finishes making her calls, Bree concludes that the "Gemma Incident" is good reason to avoid contact with those in "The Community."

==Her Reunion==

On Christmas Day, much to Bree's [[Christmas Surprise|surprise]] and elation, Daniel arrives at Jonas's house. However, on the following day, Jonas and Daniel wake to find that [[Bree's Gone|Bree is gone]] along with Jonas's car, one of his credit cards, and some of his cash. Daniel decides to examine Bree's recent videos more closely to find an explanation of her disappearance, and realizes that she has been communicating with her father in code, and has gone to meet with him. Jonas and Daniel [[Roadtrip|try to track down Bree]] and eventually find her meeting with her father. The Order suddenly appears and [[The Unthinkable Happened|shoots Bree's dad]], while Bree escapes with the boys. Bree spends several days depressed, while Daniel and Jonas each try to cheer her up.

==Her Rejection==

Daniel posts a video announcing that he "[[Bree And I Hooked Up|hooked up]]" with Bree. Jonas is [[Kicked Out|kicked out]] of his own house when Daniel makes a special candle light dinner for Bree, but it apparently doesn't go well.

Bree posts a video saying [[Daniel's A Liar|Daniel has lied]], and she just kissed him in a act of impulse and there is nothing more to it. Daniel is so upset that he leaves the next day and [[Truth Or Dare|gets drunk at a local bowling alley]]. Jonas picks up Daniel, who is too drunk to drive himself home. Daniel is accompanied by a nameless young woman ([[Katharine McPhee]] in a cameo appearance), who hangs out with Bree and Jonas while Daniel sleeps off the liquor. Daniel wakes up the next morning with a terrible [[hungover|hangover]]. Since Bree is frustrated by the antics of Jonas and Daniel, she decides to think about [[Time To Grow Up|career plans]] and her need for privacy. Meanwhile, Daniel states that he will no longer pursue Bree, choosing to spend his time [[Foosball Battle|playing foosball with Jonas]] and giving Bree space. Daniel decides to go [[For The Ladies|back to the bowling alley]] to look for the unnamed young woman, or someone else to replace Bree.

==Her Hunt for Daniel==

When Daniel does not return from the bowling alley, Bree posts a video sharing [[Daniel's Missing!|her concern for his safety]], as no one has heard from him. Bree confesses that she still wants him in her life, though she does not want a romantic relationship. Jonas and Bree [[Looking For Daniel|go to the bowling alley]] to look for him. Bree receives a cryptic text message from Daniel that says 'No good' but does not state his location. Jonas talks with a bartender who saw Daniel leave with a local man, so they head for the man's house "in the mountains". It gets late and they still haven't found the "local" man's house, so they [[Sleepover|stop at a motel]], where they are forced to share a bed, to Jonas's discomfort. A couple of days later, Daniel posts a strange video [[Miss Me?|trying to persuade Bree to rejoin the Order]]. Assuming Daniel has been coerced or brainwashed, Bree posts a video [[Me For Daniel|offering to do the ceremony if Daniel is released]]. When it comes time to [[The Human Ransom|trade herself]] for Daniel, they all escape the Order with the help of Tachyon. Bree [[Rescuing Daniel|sums up what she can]] about Tachyon and [[OpAphid]], an organization closely affiliated with the Order who has been posting videos for some time, expressing that she wishes to more actively oppose the Order.

==Her Getaway, Part 2==

Jonas [[Valentine's Day Massacre|declares]] that he too is sick of running and wants to fight the Order. A few days later, Daniel sees a Watcher in their driveway. Jonas walks out to confront the Watcher and has a brief scuffle, but the Watcher backs off when Bree jumps in front of Jonas. The three [[Yellow Snow|run to Jonas's parents' cabin in the mountains]]. When they arrive, [[Snow Angels|Bree and Jonas go on a hike]] and search the area without Daniel. [[Jonas Sucks|This angers Daniel]] as he is convinced that Jonas is hitting on Bree. They patch things up after Jonas says he has no interest in Bree at all. Daniel finds a package from Tachyon, and he uses it to crack the code on a disk that was left with Bree, which contains [[Semiotics|files on the origin of the Watcher symbol]].

==Her Suspicion of Jonas==

[[How Dumb Am I?|Bree discovers a Watcher symbol]] in Jonas's cabin, and concludes that Jonas is working for the Order, like Gemma. She ties up Jonas to question him, to [[Bree Is Crazy|Daniel's shock]]. After Daniel loosens his bindings [[What The Hell?!??!|Jonas escapes]], taking the car keys with him so that Bree and Daniel can't leave, but not the car itself, as he intends to stay and prove his innocence. Jonas then [[Proving Bree Wrong|breaks into the cabin]] to find evidence that he is not indeed with the Order. He shows Bree and Daniel his evidence and they finally believe him.

==Her Investigation==

Our intrepid protagonists then [[On The Road Again|head for the coast]] to stay at Jonas's Aunt Alex's house. [[Sorry Jonas|Bree tries to atone for her treatment of Jonas]], but Jonas, still angry, ignores her pleas for forgiveness. [[Flesh Wound|Jonas punctures his hand]] with a screwdriver while trying to break into his aunt's study and Bree takes him to a vet to get the wound stitched up, as she is afraid the Order will track them down if they go to a hospital. The gang then manages to break into Jonas's aunt's study, and finds that [[My Hand Hurts|she has been undertaking a substantial inquiry]] into the organization that Jonas's parents formed as a movement against the Order. [[Aunt Alex|Daniel and Jonas pick up Alex from the Airport]], and Daniel immediately starts hitting on her, despite Jonas's warnings and Alex's saying that she doesn't have the time for a boyfriend.

==Her Training==

Bree decided to meet up with [[Tachyon]] instead of going to the airport, due to a spat with Jonas. They go to one of Tacyon's secret camps where [[Training Hard|Bree receives "Bad-Ass" training]]. Meanwhile, Daniel and Jonas go to a "fashion industry party" with Alex. [[Uncle Dan|At the party]], Daniel hits on Alex, and Jonas gets extremely annoyed. There is a framed photo sitting on a table that appears to be a picture of Alex and Lucy, but neither Daniel nor Jonas seem to take notice of it, even though it is [[Lucy!?!?!|obvious to Bree]], who sees it in [[Uncle Dan|the video]]. Bree decides that she's going to go back to Daniel and Jonas, even though she thinks it will "piss off" Tachyon. When Jonas sees [[Lucy!?!?!|Bree's warning video]], he confronts Alex and tries to run away with [[Daniel]]. Wanting to give Alex a chance to explain herself, Daniel returns to the house, where [[Alex Is...|Alex coldly reveals]] that [[Jonas's parents]] are still alive and with [[the Order]].

==Her Capture==

Bree, Daniel, and Jonas [[Truckstop Reunion|meet up]] at a truckstop after the Alex's shocking revelation that Jonas's parents are alive. Daniel and Jonas then try to teach Bree how to play foosball, but [[Co-Ed Foosball|to spin is a sin]]. Bree thanks Jonas sincerely for all that he's done, and apologizes for "being selfish.". After that, the threesome [[Vegas, Baby!|go to Las Vegas]], and while there, are found by [[the Order]]. After they run and manage to lose them, Bree decides they should stop posting videos so [[OpAphid]] won't find them anymore. But it is too late; the Order [[Subjects Apprehended |soon captures them at a gas station]]. The Order then proceeds to subject them to [[Psychological Torture|psychological torture]], in order to get Bree to do the ceremony, and Daniel to go home. Their plans for Jonas are unclear.

==Her Escape==

Bree, Daniel, and Jonas [[Communication Terminated|escape]] from the evil clutches of the Order yet again, but no one is quite sure how. At the end of this video, a pair of legs can be seen walking. Who is this? They then go back to Alex's house and [[Missing Days|follow her]]. They somehow have their car back, and they say that a Watcher shot a person from the Order. Bree now says that her religion, [[Losing My Religion|The Hymn of One]] is a front of the Order, or somewhat the "recruiting branch." The trio continue following Alex down the coast until [[Lying Bastards|they reach Mexico]] and Daniel overhears one of Alex's phone calls. Bree then [[Spring Break Sucks|reflects her thoughts]] while Jonas and Daniel drink. Bree decides to take some action, and, with the help of Daniel, [[Confrontation|confronts Alex]]. Jonas decides that it is time for him to [[Hug It Out|reconcile]] with Alex, and does so. Alex then [[Apology Accepted?|shares some information]] about her family's past and her background with the Order. Daniel and Alex hit it off again, so Bree and Jonas [[Spanglish|explore the city]] and Bree explains the history of the people there. While at the beach a few days later, however, [[The Perfect Beach|Lucy shows up]] in order to take Alex, and Alex tells Bree that the Order has a new girl for Bree's infamous ceremony. BDJ begins to distrust her yet again. For their safety, they [[About The Gun|move]] into a [[bunker]] once used by former members of [[the Resistance]].

==Her Search==

While in [[the bunker]], Bree [[New Girl|watches]] a [[The Ceremony Girl?! - NBR Investigates|video]] by [[Nikki Bower]], which identifies a girl from Texas named [[Jules]], as the "new girl". While Bree is investigating this, Jonas [[Running For Life|tries to help Daniel]] get over his newly revived drinking problem by [[Intervention|filming Daniel while he's drunk]]. Bree then comments on Daniel's problem and [[Sloppy Drunk|continues to investigate]] Jules. She then gives [[Blog Girl|more information]] on the Hymn of One and Jules's possible connection to it. In the meantime, Daniel [[Quitting The Sauce|decides to give up drinking]], and Jonas and he try to hypnotize each other to remember what happened during the week they can't remember. They then attempt to [[What Happened to Us???|recreate the circumstances]] they remember from their capture. Bree starts [[A Solid Lead|corresponding]] with a another Texas girl named [[Taylor]], who claimed to have played soccer with Jules. Daniel and Jonas finally [[Science Proved Nothing|give up]] on remembering, and BD&J decide to [[OUT OF THE BUNKER!!!|go to Texas]] to meet Taylor, but at the designated rendezvous Taylor's sister [[Sarah]] [[Crazy Emo Chick|shows up without her]]. After hanging out a couple days with Taylor and Sarah, they all go to [[No Trespassing|check out a lead]] that Taylor found, but it turns out not to be Jules's house. Afterwards, Bree and Jonas [[We Found Julia!!!|find Jules]] according to a blog on Jules's MySpace page, and despite Jonas's advice not to, [[BDJ]] [[It's Not Kidnapping|kidnaps Jules]]. [[Bree]], in an attempt to help her talk, let's [[Julia]]'s ropes slack. Bree then decides she'd like some water, and leaves her victim unattended. Julia escapes, but is found the next day, cowering behind a building. They re-capture her
==Her Surrender==

[[BDJ]] then decide they want to take a ride in [[Jonas]]'s car, with [[Jules]] tied up in the back. As they drive, they run into a [[Watcher]] car, with [[Lucy]] and a [[Deacon]] waiting outside. Jules jumps out of the car and runs to the agents, despite her reigns. It is only a matter of seconds before [[Bree]] joins Jules in a nice chat with Lucy, much to [[Daniel]] and Jonas's dismay. After a 20 second pow wow, Bree hops in the car with Jules. Daniel and Jonas run after the car, and demand a very effective command: "Open this door!" Daniel and Jonas then run to their own car, and drive after the Watcher car. They later say they're lost. Taylor (through her hacking skills) discovers that Jules, unlike Bree, is not adopted. [[Let's Play Doctor|Daniel infiltrates a local hospital]] and steals Jules's medical records; they discover a page with the EPOGEN symbol on it, and the cryptic note "Trait: Negative." [[Comfort Food|Daniel talks about the loss]] of his grandmother when he was sixteen, and [[My Sister = Slut|Taylor comforts]] him and talks about the loss of her father, and how rude [[Sarah]] is being. Bree makes a [[Sing With Me|recruiting video]], for the [[Hymn of One]], in which she appears to be completely back with them, but in the video is the message "HELP HER FRIDAY". Daniel And Jonas reconnect with Sarah, and they go to the [[CAMP PLAY|Summer Camp where Bree did her play]]. They discover a box there under a tree stump. Bree Makes a [[Be Part of Something|second video]] with the message "BENEATH THE BLUE STONE" hidden in it. Daniel and Jonas [[Opening the Box|open the box]] and discover information from Bree's dad about Bree and his genetic research. Daniel and Jonas begin checking out the Hymn of One auditions, hoping to see Bree, but they only see [[Carl]], [[Sonia]], [[Barb]], and [[Chris]], all dressed in white. [[It's A Cult |Daniel, Sarah, and Jonas wait until the seminar is over]], then do a little investigating, managing to get footage of the procedure from members of the audience.

==Her Rescue==
The clues from the seminar and the videos lead the TAAG to Bree's location, where they [[Getting Her Back|kidnap her back]]. In the following video, Bree is shown to be [[I hAtE tHeSe PeOpLe|suffering some sort of mental breakdown]]. As the gang attempts to [[Bedside Manner|deprogram her]], she shows little response, except to Jonas. As Daniel and Sarah appear to be getting closer together, Jonas and Bree do as well. Daniel [[Taking Advantage of Her|expresses resentment]] over this, claiming Jonas is taking advantage of Bree's condition. Sarah then secretly films [[HOLY SH%T!!!|Jonas and Bree making out]], and [[The Morning After|the next morning]], Jonas posts a video half-naked, strongly implying that he and Bree had sex. However, he soon discovers that Bree has disappeared, and the team [[Mr. Park Ranger|searches for her]].

Sarah posts a video, [[Everybody Does It ;)|chiding Jonas]] for being too hung up on his feelings for Bree. When he sends an email to Taylor about it, she posts a video, [[Like A Virgin|making fun of him]] even more harshly. A few days later, Bree posts [[Going Home|a video from her cell phone]], saying that she is lost and begging someone from the Hymn of One to come find her. Taylor does some research on a bar code that was included in the box that Bree's dad left for her. The research found that the bar code belonged to Wyman Foundation in San Diego, California. She recommends that the gang follows these leads to CA.

==Who is lonelygirl15?==
On May 24, 2006 the world was touched by a sweet young girl experiencing the troubles of everyday life, but it turned out to be something more than that. The truth about lonelygirl15's life was told, and the world was captivated . . .

[[Bree|Lonelygirl15]], a.k.a. Bree, is an intelligent, yet awkward and geeky teenager. Raised in a strict, isolated household, she lacks many of the social skills possessed by her peers. She does not go out with friends much, and spends much of her time reading or playing juvenile games, such as interacting with her three stuffed animals, [[Thor]] the bear, [[Owen]] the Turtle, and [[Purple Monkey|P.

Daniel and Bree spend more and more time together, [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|going on hikes]], [[Swimming!|swimming]] or just sitting in her bedroom. Bree's father asks Daniel to film Bree's play for her annual religious summer camp. Daniel refuses, and [[What Bree's Dad Said...|Bree's father reacts negatively]], straining her friendship with Daniel. Afterwards, tears are shed and angry words are exchanged between the friends.

They both flee again, finding [[The second motel|another motel]]. [[Silent Treatment|Daniel is upset with Bree]] for not taking the situation seriously.

==Her New Friend==
Bree is left a video comment by [[Jonas]], who wishes Lonelygirl and Danielbeast a [[Happy Thanksgiving]].

Meanwhile, Daniel and Bree return to their motel room to find it [[Ransacked!|ransacked]]. With all of their money stolen, and now having only the small amount left that Daniel is carrying, and they flee once again. Daniel becomes increasingly aggravated and wants to go back home, but Bree is not convinced that they are safe. Bree receives a vblog from Gemma who fears she too is being followed by a Watcher. [[Scared To Go Home|Scared to go home]], Gemma hides out at a friend's home, noticeably distressed, much like Daniel when he realized he was being followed. The situation for Bree and Daniel grows increasingly worse when Daniel is informed by someone named Tachyon that his car is bugged with a tracking device. Deciding that the safest choice is to [[Homeless|abandon the car]], the now-homeless couple has to resort to dumpster diving for food and a dirty abandoned warehouse for shelter. In November 28th online chat session, it is suggested that Bree and Daniel accept the help of Jonas, who is apparently rich, unemployed and lives alone in a large house. However, Daniel and Gemma are not convinced. Bree [[Your Decision|chooses to stay with Jonas]], but Daniel decides to [[Back Home|return home]].

==Her Betrayal==
Jonas posts [[Tough Cookie|a video claiming that Gemma was lying]] about being in London; apparently she is in California and still active in the Order. This, along with Daniel's abandonment of her, drives Bree to sulk for several days. Meanwhile, Daniel decides to go [[Back At Bree's|back to Bree's house]] and investigate, finding evidence that leads him to [[Breaking And Entering|break into a pharmaceutical warehouse]]. Bree decides to take action herself and begins by [[Bree Phone Home|calling her friends and family]] to see if anyone has had contact with her parents. She initially seems to find no helpful information, but in a call to an uncle, receives a coded message from her father, indicating that they are OK and requesting that she meet them. She reminisces about her old friend [[Cassie]] with whom Bree made some prank phone calls during their brief friendship. By the time she finishes making her calls; Bree concludes that the "Gemma Incident" is good reason to avoid contact with those in "The Community."

==Her Reunion==
On Christmas Day, much to Bree's [[Christmas Surprise|surprise]] and elation, Daniel arrives at Jonas's house. However, on the following day, Jonas and Daniel wake to find that [[Bree's Gone|Bree is gone]] without a note or obvious explanation. According to Jonas, Bree has taken his car, one of his credit cards, and some of his cash. Daniel decides to examine Bree's recent videos more closely to find an explanation of her disappearance. Jonas and Daniel [[Roadtrip|try to track down Bree]]. Eventually, they find her meeting with her father shortly before a run-in with the Order resulting in the [[The Unthinkable Happened|shooting of Bree's dad]]. Daniel then posts a video telling that him and Bree "hooked up."

They now charge the LGPedia community with a new mission: to create a '''Story So Far...''' section. In a nutshell, they would like a concise yet comprehensive introduction to LG15 for newbies linked to from the main page.

----

==Who is lonelygirl15?==
On May 24, 2006 the world was touched by a sweet young girl experiencing the troubles of everyday life, but it turned out to be something more than that. The truth about lonelygirl15's life was told, and the world was captivated...

[[Bree|Lonelygirl15]], a.k.a. Bree, is an intelligent, yet awkward and geeky teenager. Raised in a strict, isolated household, she lacks many of the social skills possessed by her peers. She does not go out with friends much, and spends much of her time reading or playing juvenile games, such as interacting with her three stuffed animals, [[Thor]] the bear, [[Owen]] the Turtle, and [[Purple Monkey|P. Monkey]]. Bree is home schooled, and she and her parents have moved around a lot, which has limited her social experiences and has left her without any true friends. For a short while she attended high school, but the social pressures, teasing and her lack of experience proved too overwhelming for her to bear. However, she did leave her short stint in public high school with one friend, [[Daniel]].

==Her Beginning==
In June of 2006, Bree bought a webcam and began posting on [[YouTube]]. At first, she posted simple, silly clips of her and her animals. Later on, however, she opened up to the audience and began telling more and more about herself, her life, religion and troubles. [[My Parents Suck...|Bree explains]] that her religion often prevents her from doing normal, teenage activities. Along the way, [[The Danielbeast|she introduces Daniel (as DanielBeast)]], her best ''real'' friend. Although he just sits on the bed and reads magazines most of the time, he occasionally participates in her clips, such as their spoof of each other, "[[Proving Science Wrong... with Lonelybeast and Danielgirl15]]".

Daniel and Bree spend more and more time together, [[My Parents... Let Us Go Hiking!!!|going on hikes]], [[Swimming!|swimming]] or just sitting in her bedroom. Bree's father asks Daniel to film Bree's play for her annual religious summer camp. Daniel refuses, and [[What Bree's Dad Said...|Bree's father reacts negatively]], which places a strain on her friendship with Daniel. Afterwards, tears are shed and angry words are exchanged between the friends. Daniel [[To Hell With Bree's Dad (yeah!)|posts a video]] explaining how he intends to attend her play, though not to film it, much to the surprise and happiness of Bree. Having gotten over the first hurdle in their public relationship, Bree excitedly shares that she has been chosen to participate in a sacred ceremony for her religion. Bree does not share many details about this religion except to say that she is truly committed to her faith.

==Her Rebellion==
Daniel [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!|invites Bree to a party]], something she has never experienced, and with people she only met during her short time in public education (and who also [[Poor Pluto|teased her]] for her intellectual curiousity in science class). Her parents forbid her to go, but Bree [[I'm Going to the Party!|decides to sneak out anyway]]. Much to her dismay, her father is waiting for her when she gets home. She is promptly placed under "[[House Arrest|house arrest]]," and her father forbids her to see Daniel anymore. After this first rebellious act against her parents, it seems as if Bree has become addicted to sneaking out, or perhaps she just relishes her newfound freedom. Daniel invites her on various "dates" and Bree is confused about teen love. She's never had a boyfriend before, and obviously never had a kiss, so Daniel's desire to be something more than friends befuddles her, especially when [[My First Kiss|he kisses her]] at another party.

==Her Religion==
In the video [[A Change In My Life]], Bree sheds some light on the cermony for which she has been chosen to participate. For the [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]], she has to learn [[Enochian|a new language]], go on a special diet, learn special steps, take [[iron pills|iron supplements]] and receive weekly [[Bree's injections|injections]].

Although Bree promises to have a dinner with Daniel, she realizes that she has to go to a [[Fall Equinox]] ceremony for [[Bree's religion|her religion]]. Again, her mysterious religion tears Daniel and Bree apart. She decides that her religion is more important to her than her only friend. She gains a "[[My Helper|helper]]" who will assist her in preparing for the upcoming ceremony. She is already studying hard, dieting, taking pills and receiving mysterious shots. Nevertheless, she enjoys this new friend. Daniel, still angry, [[Where Are They Going?|follows Bree and her helper]], [[Lucy]], trying to figure out the woman's purpose and motives. Bree sees the videoblog of Daniel following her and is upset. She tells Daniel via [[Daniel Crossed The Line|videoblog]] to leave her alone and stop following her. She also warns him about the power of those in her religious order. Daniel ignores her and begins to become alarmed by the extent to which her religion affects events in Bree's life.

==Her Ceremony==
Daniel finds inconclusive, yet disturbing stories about a man associated with Bree's religion, [[Aleister Crowley]]. He follows Bree yet again and stumbles upon the ceremony and [[The Ceremony|films part of the secret ritual]], barely escaping being caught. After that, he follows Bree's helper Lucy to her apartment and waits until she leaves, [[Following The Helper|breaking in]] and finding pictures on Lucy's computer of himself videotaping the ceremony, along with maps of locations in Texas, Arizona, California, Alaska and Alberta, Canada. He freaks out and is convinced that the "cult" as he calls it, is following him, as he followed them. Bree hears of this and becomes extremely worried about Daniel's safety. So he goes "underground," staying at a friend's place to hide from the cult. Daniel calls Bree, finding out that under the instruction of Lucy and other cult members [[I Lied To Daniel|Bree has lied]] to him about the ceremony. As it turns out, Bree doesn't know what the ceremony is, Bree's father doesn't know what the shots are, and Lucy won't answer any of Bree's questions. With Daniel's encouragement, Bree decides not to do the ceremony, and her parents surprisingly agree with her decision. Meanwhile, Bree is contacted by [[Gemma]], an old friend, who warns her of the power and influence of [[The Order|the "Order"]].

==Her Getaway==
While at Daniel's house, [[Still At Daniel's|Bree's parents tell her]] that she should sleep at Daniel's for the night, an extreme contrast to the conservative parents Bree first knew. A couple days later Bree and Daniel, both worried, decide to go over to her house after not receiving any responses to their numerous phone calls. When they arrive, [[On The Run|they witness her parents leaving]] with Lucy and a man from the ceremony. Inside, they find a note inside of P. Monkey warning Bree to stay with Daniel, along with some money. With this, Daniel and Bree decide to run. They sleep in their car for a few days before settling in to a [[The motel|motel]]. Bree seems to be her usual silly self, but [[Someone's Following You|Gemma warns her]] that she is being followed by a "[[Watcher]]", a member of the order who is stalking them. They both flee again, finding [[The second motel|another motel]]. [[Silent Treatment|Daniel is upset with Bree]] for not taking the situation seriously.

==Her New Friend==
Bree is left a video comment by [[Jonas]], who wishes Lonelygirl and Danielbeast a [[Happy Thanksgiving]]. He does not give out much background information about himself, and says only that his parents mysteriously disapeared while sailing six years ago, and expresses his sympathy for Bree, a fellow "orphan". Meanwhile, Daniel and Bree return to their motel room to find it [[Ransacked!|ransacked]], and all their money stolen, having only the small amount left that Daniel was carrying, and they flee once again. Daniel becomes increasingly aggravated and wants to go back, but Bree is not convinced that they are safe. It seems The Order is trying to isolate Bree, as Gemma fears she too is being followed by a Watcher. [[Scared To Go Home|Scared to go home]], she crashes at a friends house, like Daniel when he first found out he was being followed. On the 28th of November, a chat session is held online in which it is suggested that Bree gets help from Jonas, who is apparently rich and lives alone in a big house. Jonas offers to give Bree and Daniel money or a place to stay. Bree is hesitant and is afraid to trust Jonas, but Jonas [[Trust Issues|posts a video]] persuading her to trust him. Jonas later posts another video saying that Bree has chosen to stay with him, but Daniel hasn't, as Bree misses him, and will not come out of her room.

'''Bree, a.k.a. Lonelygirl15''', is the star of the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]]. Friend and love interest to [[Daniel]] (a.k.a. Danielbeast), and queen of the "[[Proving Science Wrong (series)|Proving Science Wrong]]" skits, the backstory of this vivacious young homeschooler has been shrouded in much mystery, each episode revealing bits and pieces of her life and the current situations she is facing. Much speculation has been put forth in the viewing community about a [[Bree%27s_religion|religion]] she is reluctant to speak openly about, a mysterious [[Bree's ritual|ceremony]] in the near future she has been chosen to be a participant of, and the current conflict surrounding Daniel, her parents, and her religion.
==Family==
[[Image:Breemontage.jpg|thumb|295px|Freeze frames of Bree from her video blogs.]]
It has been implied in the episodes that her parents are very strict. In one episode Bree revealed that her [[Bree's mother|mother]] and [[Bree's father|father]] met in London during the intermission of the play '[[Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead]]'. Apparently the two got into a heated argument about the central theme in the play, and in the words of Bree, her father was "smitten like a kitten". In the same episode, [[How My Parents Met]], Bree also divulged that her father studied medicine at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford Oxford].

Her parents are strictly religious. This is one reason that Bree is homeschooled. In the video, [[Learning To Drive]], Bree tells [[Daniel]] that her parents are not [[Order of Dendera]], presumably a reference to her [[Bree's religion|religion]].

==Travels==
In the episode "[[Mysteries_of_My_Past..._REVEALED%21|Mysteries of My Past... REVEALED!]], Bree gave us a little rundown of all her travels. According to Bree, she was born in America, and moved to New Zealand when she was eight years old. While there, her family lived in a [[commune]] next to a small town. At age ten, Bree's family visited the Northern Territory of Australia. At the age of twelve, they moved to Nottinghamshire England, and resided there for two years. After England, they finally settled down in their home in the United States.

==School==
Bree has mentioned many times that she is homeschooled, but she has referenced in episodes that she previously attended traditional public schooling at least two times. First in New Zealand, where she was pulled from public schools after her parents witnessed the lack of discipline and again in the United States. In school she made two friends, [[Cassie]] and [[Daniel]]. Cassie was uncomfortable with Bree's religion and stopped hanging out with her after she left public school. Daniel and Bree stayed best friends.

Bree's parents pulled her out when she became the subject of ridicule, rumors, and hostilities from fellow classmates. In [[Poor Pluto]] Bree says that students made fun of her for asking too many astronomy questions in a science class. They started calling her [[Stargirl]] and when she continued asking questions they suggested she was having a relationship with the teacher. Daniel later said in [[I Want to Take Bree to a Party!]] that he did not think the teasing was that big of a deal. Bree has remarked in comments to her YouTube videos that she'd like to go back to public school.

She seems to be interested in astronomy, quantum physics, history, and evolution (another possible hint to her family's profession). Her studies are quite advanced for a secondary education level.

==Religion==
Not much is known for sure about [[Bree's religion]]. [[Bree's religion]] was the source of a great deal of debate because of its role in [[Bree's ritual]]. Fans initially speculated that it is or is related to [[Thelema]], but this was disavowed by [[Gemma]] in [[Learning Egyptian]], who claimed that it is not a religion at all. Rather, Bree's "religion" is a type of secret society known as [[The Order]].

==Bree's bedroom==
Most of the early Lonelygirl15 videos take place in [[Bree's bedroom]].

==Other Friends==

During the latest enrollment at public school, she befriended a young woman named [[Cassie]], who was in Daniel's class (although he doesn't recognize the name). Bree says that everyone made fun of Cassie and that they used to walk around the track together. They initially spent time together, but Cassie was uncomfortable with Bree's religion. After Bree returned to homeschooling, she and Cassie stopped spending time together.

At a party, Bree met Daniel's Friends [[Paul]] and [[Andrea]]. She liked them a lot and the foursome made plans to go bowling together. It is unclear if they actually went bowling.

In preparing for her ceremony, Bree began spending time with [[Lucy]], her "helper". Lucy is a member of her religion, like a counselor, and has helped Bree prepare for her ceremony.

While in England, she became good friends with a dog. The dog's owner, later revealed to be [[Gemma]], has begun communicating with Bree from her home in London.

Bree's stuffed animal friends are [[Purple_Monkey|P. Monkey]], [[Owen]], and [[Thor]], and she utilizes them as puppets or props in various episodes. She also has a [[hot pink feather boa]] she is quite fond of.

==Diet==
In order to participate in [[The Ceremony]] Bree has to eat [[Bree's diet| a special diet]].

==Bree's injections==
For a discussion of Bree's injections Bree's injections [[Bree's injections|go here]]. Bree is also taking [[Iron Pills]] which are thought to be a compliment to the injections.

==Etymology==

*Bree is the anglicized form of the Irish Gaelic female name Brígh, which means "power" or "high." As "Brigh" means power/high, fans speculate that Bree's name may refer to her importance to [[the Order]]. It may be that her ceremony was designed as an initiation into a ''high'' position entailing ''power.''

*Alternatively, the video [[What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?]] makes an implicit link between the name ''Bree'' and ''Brie cheese''.

==Other==
Bree is played by [[Jessica Lee Rose]], and her well-sculptured [[Breebrows|eyebrows]] were a major source of speculation about whether she was real or an actress before the actress's true identity was revealed.

Bree's journeys from her birth in America, moving to New Zealand in early childhood and coming back to America in her teens also mirrors that of Jessica Rose's travels (and explains her occasional accent).

In [http://lonelygirl15.com/?p=95&play=1#comment-10510 a post] on [[lonelygirl15.com]], a user going by the name The [[Deacons]] referred to Bree as the [[Urim and Thummim]]. It is not known if this is in any way related to the official plot nor what it may imply about her future significance to the [[Denderah|Order of Denderah]]. The legitimacy of these posts by "The Deacons" is still disputed because it has been noted that any user can post under any name whether they are part of the production or not.
