Trey's past was rewritten for the EN adaptation of the game: in the original game Trey recounts a time that Riddle’s mother went over to his house and lectured his entire family for five hours straight.

While recreated faithfully in the manga, this was rewritten on EN so that Trey alone was lectured by his family, not by Riddle’s mother.

This is an interesting change made to Riddle and Trey’s history together as (on EN) Trey is no longer the one character who has personally experienced that part of Riddle's home life.

This also indirectly contributes to Riddle's overblot (in the original game), as having witnessed what Riddle suffers at the hands of his mother leads to Trey refusing to scold Riddle like she did, no matter what he does.

(The line "I just can't scold him" was changed to "I don't think the situation calls for it" on EN)

EN-Trey has also been rewritten into a family that will lecture him for five hours as punishment for playing with another child, which has never actually happened.

Trey has also never referred to Riddle’s unique magic as a weapon.

Original Trey: Doodle Suit (Paint the Roses)

EN Trey: Sleight of Hand

There are many rumors about where this mistake came from, and I have recently started wondering if it was a fluke of the localization process: Trey is the only character whose unique magic on EN was translated from the meaning behind his spell, but in the original screenshot the meaning isn’t written out, just the sound of it.

So maybe somewhere along the process of translation / proofreading / final checks someone decided that “Doodle Suit hasn’t been written anywhere on EN, so let’s come up with an EN-friendly equivalent” and they landed on “sleight of hand,” possibly forgetting that Doodle Suit = 薔薇を塗ろう = Let’s Paint the Roses?

We may never know, but for the curious this was, originally, not a new spell! Trey is using his usual “Paint the Roses” unique magic.

Original Cater: Your whole “not saying what you think” thing is really not good.

EN Cater: I should have learned by now that seeing your feelings on the DL is not a great idea.

While Cater is originally admonishing Trey for not saying what he thinks (which was a signifiant influence to Riddle’s overblot and thus the entire drama of Book 1), his line was rewritten for EN to Cater admonishing himself.

The EN adaptation will sometimes have people referring to Trey as “mom”, while originally the characters generally refer to him as “dad."

Cater never calls Trey a “nerd;” this insult was added to his dialogue in the EN adaptation.

Similarly, Trey never says that he is closer to Riddle than he is to Trey. His original line is closer to saying that he is close to both of them.

EN has some pronoun confusion where Trey says he made fun of Deuce for crying for his mother.

If you thought that this doesn't seem like something Trey would do, you are correct! He was talking about Sebek, in a scene we saw on screen.

Original Trey: I’m not doing so on purpose.

EN Trey: (removed)

Original Trey: Boys in particular are too embarrassed to...

EN Trey: A lot of people are too embarrassed to...

(It is insinuated that Trey may have hang-ups about gender roles, much like Epel, and much like Epel’s lines this was softened for EN)

More here:

Lilia and Trey share homeroom classes, and Lilia seems to consistently baffle Trey: when Lilia wishes for all species to live in harmony during the Wish Upon a Star event Trey tells him that he is so used to Lilia’s antics that he doesn’t really believe that that is his true wish.

Lilia insists that his wish “is cute, wholesome, and pure—just like me” and Trey responds, “You do realize you undermine your credibility when you say those things about yourself, right?”

Trey comments that the information Lilia teaches to Silver feels like “utter nonsense.”

Trey being suspicious of Lilia’s information is a running theme: when Lilia tells him about the history of magical pens Trey says, “It’s funny how you talk as if you were really there," and that, while Lilia’s imagination is impressive, they can’t use any of his information in their essay for history class.

Trey follows up with, “Whenever I talk to you, I have the hardest time figuring out what's true and what isn’t…you did make all of that up, right?”

Trey seems to have respect for Lilia as Diasomnia’s vice-housewarden, saying that “Lilia also runs himself ragged on ceremony days.”

Trey attempts to buy spices, oils and dressing for use in cooking as souvenirs for Lilia during the Firelit Sky event, but gives up when Malleus threatens both him and Cater with “consequences to that choice.”

Trey says that he is terrible at singing and dancing, which we see in action when Eliza pressures him to sing during Phantom Bride in a performance that Ace describes as “hysterical” and “terribad.” Chenya talks to Trey about spontaneous musical numbers during Halloween.

Rook describes Trey’s dance steps as “unique” and “fascinating” when they dance together at the end of Spectral Soiree, but when Deuce comments on dancing being harder than it looks Trey says that he has had a lot of experience: “Since my family ran a business, whenever there weren’t enough volunteers for some sort of local event, we’d get roped into it.”

Trey is in the first group of suitors for Eliza during Phantom Bride on the grounds of being over 180 centimeters tall, but he doesn’t seem to know what he is supposed to do when he arrives.

Jade tells him that he is supposed to join her in song and he makes the attempt, comparing her veil to a dishtowel and her eyes to grapes, which earns hims a slap in the face.

Trey observes, “…we’re a bunch of students at an all-boys school. Yet we were supposed to propose to royalty? Isn’t this whole challenge completely out of our league?,” earning everyone’s agreement.

When Trey thanks Ace for saving everyone from Eliza, Ace responds, “That’s right, you should be grateful. Especially since I had to make up for your terribad singing!” Trey asks him to forget that ever happened.

Beanfest begins with Cater cautioning Deuce against discussing plans in front of the opposing team, saying, “It’s the guys who act all harmless that you really gotta watch out for!” in reference to Trey. Trey says that his only goal for the event is surviving long enough that the others won't give him a hard time, but he ends up catching Riddle anyway.

Riddle observes, “Cater was right all along. It’s the ones who act harmless that you truly have to watch out for.” Trey is taken out of the game by Jade, who attacks him while he is moving in on Cater, Grim and the prefect.

In a very uncharacteristic move for Grim, he gifts an injured Trey with a can of tuna in Book 2 while encouraging him to get well soon. Trey and Grim also have some overlap during the Firelit Sky event, with Trey teasing Grim about falling into a canal and rescuing him from a vase that he falls into later on.

Trey has a voice line about giving Grim a toy to help him keep his teeth clean, but Grim seems unamused. Floyd’s name for Trey is Sea Turtle.

While he will enforce the Queen of Hearts’ laws for Riddle, Trey may not be very fond of them: when Rook comments on how “fascinating” they are he responds, “It’s hard to tell whether any of them serve any actual purpose…”

When asked what dorm he would like to live in besides Heartslabyul Trey responds with Octavinelle, as he could probably find a steady position at Mostro Lounge if he were put in charge of sweets.

Trey takes advantage of other students for his own benefit in two different vignettes: when he buys the last of the laundry detergent for sale in the school store he offers to give enough for a single load to Ruggie, “But would you mind if I stopped somewhere before the fetch the detergent?”

It is revealed that Trey’s errand was actually a bait and switch: he presses Ruggie into service painting roses, refusing to give up his cupful of detergent unless Ruggie complies.

In another vignette Trey takes advantage of a desperate situation for Jamil by getting him to agree to prune all of Heartslabyul’s rose bushes in exchange for help with cooking for one of Kalim’s last-minute banquets.

The prefect’s introduction to Trey involves Trey catching himself when he insults Ramshackle Dorm, thanking them for looking out for Ace and Deuce and then providing an explanation of every dorm on campus.

Trey slips on stairs in an apparent accident early on in Book 2, but he returns at the end after it is revealed that his accident—and those of many other students—was actually orchestrated by Ruggie and Leona.

Trey approaches the Headmage on behalf of all the injured students to request permission to allow Savanaclaw to remain in the Spelldrive tournament so that they can have some revenge: since fighting with magic is forbidden on campus, the game is their chance to “hash things out…instead of letting grudges fester.”

Trey’s sense of humor seems difficult for others to pick up on: he tricks both Ace and Riddle into thinking that all the best bakers put oyster sauce into strawberry tarts, and is delighted by his own joke.

He also teases the prefect about wanting an expensive birthday present and says that when he made similar jokes with some of the other Heartslabyul students, all of them took him seriously.

Epel says that he has heard about Trey from Ace and Deuce that Trey is very kind and looks out for others but Trey says he really isn’t a good guy.

Trey is so reluctant to stand out that he actively tries to find a way out of saving Kalim during a PE class (when Kalim falls off his flying carpet), telling nearby Scarabia students to go to Jamil or the faculty office, despite holding a broom at the time.

Trey reluctantly saves Kalim and it is revealed that Trey has been able to downplay his flying abilities so successfully for so long that Vargas never recognized his talent.

Cater refers to Trey as Spelldrive “power player,” but Trey says that he isn’t very fond of flying. When asked if he is any good at it, Trey says he doesn’t think so.

When Ruggie asks how it is that he’s on Heartslabyul’s Spelldrive team if he isn’t that great of a flyer, Trey says that he just has normal grades in flight class and he only participates in Spelldrive tournaments at the request of other students: too many strong students and they get unruly, so he fills a supportive role on the team (Ruggie points out that they probably want him there to help keep the peace).

Trey says that he understands a reluctance to exercise and he doesn’t particularly like doing so, but he isn’t entirely unathletic.

He seems to dread Vargas Camp 2 and when Vargas says, “You all want to learn in the great outdoors and hone your mind and body, right?” Trey responds, “We’re perfectly happy with what we’ve been doing, actually.”

Later in the event he says that, while the camp was an overall good experience, he can’t wait to get back to the school as he doesn’t normally do outdoor stuff.

Trey says that he has “got some muscle” from carrying heavy bags of flour back at home, and he used to play soccer a lot because he parents wanted him to build stamina he could incorporate into baking sweets.
