Tracy McConnell is the titular character of the series. She is the wife of Ted Mosby and The Mother of his children. She was a bass player and vocalist for an economics themed band called Superfreakonomics, which commonly played around New York in the 2010s.
Her social circle included Cindy, Kelly, and Louis (who she dated from April 2012 to May 2013). She studied economics at Columbia University. She most likely lived at 317 West 115th Street, apartment 7A, until she moved in with Ted.
In Last Forever – Part Two, it is revealed she dies of an undisclosed illness in 2024, about six years prior to Ted Mosby telling his children how he met her.
