Biography[]
Addison is first seen in her room, practicing cheering in front of a large mirror. She reveals that she has to hide her real hair under a blonde wig thus she has a hard time fitting into the community of Seabrook, which is obsessively "perfect" and against anything flawed. Addison starts off her first day of school with a healthy breakfast. She is in her kitchen and eating a bowl of fruit and has a glass of water. Her parents are also in the kitchen talking about how excited they are about cheer tryouts. They are very supportive of her with sports. Her dad is the chief of the “Zombie Patrol” as he is seen with a pin that states that. Her mom is being re-elected for mayor, so it is very important that Addison makes the cheer squad. They tell that nothing will stop her as long as she keeps her wig on.
Once she arrives to Seabrook High, she is super excited about the school year. Her cousin and captain of the cheer squad, Bucky and his co-captains, Stacey, Lacey and Tracey, also know as the ACEYS, tell her that they can't let zombies change the way things are in town. Addison admits that they're just going to school like the humans which Bucky admonishes that zombies are nothing like humans and they tried to kill their grandfather, even though Addison admits that it was just a "small bite." There she meets another cheer hopeful, Bree and they bond over their love for cheer.
The Z-Alarm suddenly goes off as someone spotted a zombie in the halls, Addison tries to calm an anxious Bree down by showing her the Zombie Safe Room and that it'll be alright. Bree runs away screaming from her, due to Bree seeing one when Addison had her back turned. Addison decides to go into the room herself, only to find out that she's not alone, a boy is inside as well. The two of them begin a friendly conversation about their goals for the school year and the boy introduces himself as [./Zed. After Addison introduces herself, the lights turn on and is shocked to find out that Zed is a zombie. Horrified, Addison punches Zed in the face, only to find him in pain. Addison immediately apologizes explaining that her parents always taught her that zombies are dangerous but as she looks at Zed, she becomes mesmerized by how cute he is and tells him that he's not hideous at all and explains her family's hatred towards zombies as one bit her grandfather's ear off years prior. Their moment is interrupted as Bucky and the ACEYS barge into the room and Bucky reveals to Zed that Addison is his cousin and threatens him to stay away from her as he forces her out of the room.
At cheer tryouts, Addison succeeds in making the team and even convinces Bucky to add Bree on the team as a stand-in. Later that night, Bucky takes the cheer squad to Zombietown for the cheer initiation. Addison and Bree are among them and Addison becomes amazed on the neighborhood's creative skills. Her cousin give her a carton of eggs and tells her and Bree to egg one of the zombie's house to make them official. She and Bree refuse and Bucky and the others unintentionally ditch the duo when they get spooked by a zombie who tried to help them. Addison and Bree hide and the noise causes a zombie to see what's happening and Addison is stunned to find out the zombie house she was assigned to was Zed's house. Zed's father asks what going on and Zed replies that no one is there. He then gives Addison a disappointed look as he heads back inside. This cause Addison and Bree to see how zombies are being treated by humans and they both leave Zombietown, with Addison throwing the carton of eggs into the trash.
The next day, she confronts her cousin about his treatment towards zombies and that bullying them isn't right. Unfortunately, Bucky tells her not to question things. Shortly, Addison follows the zombies to the basement and sees that this is how they are attending school and admits that it's awful. She apologizes to a heartbroken Zed and reassures him that Bucky will not see them talking. Addison invites him and the other zombies to the pep rally later today, however one zombie sarcastically tells her zombies don't do pep rallies but Zed reassures Addison that they'll think about it and Addison leaves with a smile on her face.
While getting ready for the pep rally, Addison becomes convinced that Zed won't come, thinking that zombies attending would make serious drama. However, she becomes excited when Bree announces that there are zombies at the pep rally. Addison rushes over and is happy that they accepted her invitation and is really happy that Zed came. However, when she hears Bucky command the Aceys to get the "spirit sticks", she looks up with concern. The pep rally goes well until Bucky and the squad bring out the "spirit sticks", which are sparklers, using them to scare zombies, due to their fear of fire. One [./zombie] gets terrified and runs out of the bleachers just as Addison gets tossed in the air for a trick. This cause the member who launched her scatter away, leaving Addison headed to being severely injured. However, to Addison's surprise she is caught and saved by Zed.
