Relatives Harrison Davies, Meredith Davies, Richard Davies

Portrayed by Eliza Dushku
Created by John Hardmon Feldman

Tru Davies is a fictional character created by John Hardmon Feldman for the television series Tru Calling, portrayed by Eliza Dushku.

[edit] Childhood

At the age of only twelve years old, Tru Davies watched her mother, Elise Davies, die. Her mother was shot by a hitman hired by her father, Richard Davies. After her mother's demise, Tru, her brother Harrison and older sister Meredith were abandoned by their father and little has been revealed about who raised them from that point on.

[edit] Supernatural Power

Tru possesses the power to relive the current day when a corpse asks for her help to turn back the clock in order to save his/her Life, or help someone whom the corpse affected in someway. Mostly triumphant, Tru has on occasion been unsuccessful in saving lives, sometimes because of the interference of Jack Harper and sometimes because the corpse was not meant to live. On some occasions her power changed. An instance of this was when a group of five corpses all asked for her help at the same time. Other times her day rewound more than once on an already rewound day, as in "The Longest Day" and "Grace". In "The Last Good Day", when a dead woman asked Jack Harper for help, Tru finally discovered what Jack saw when a corpse would ask her for help. She described this as a Dark Feeling which she would never want to experience again.

[edit] Good vs. Evil

Although both can relive days, It has never been said who is evil, Tru or Jack. Jack has always been portrayed as evil, which Jack denies, although at certain times Jack has broke the rules of preserving fate, such as to make Luc die to teach Tru a Lesson. Jack claims that he is merely preserving fate. Jack claims that if Tru saves someone who is meant to die, she creates a ripple effect in fate. Tru claims that she is saving people who were taken before their time.

One could argue that Jack isnt evil as he is only preserving fate.

[edit] Romantic Relationships

  • Mark Evans - Tru's college Professor. After Tru spotted Mark cheating on her with another one of his students, she ended the relationship. When Tru had a party, Mark visited, only to be killed by one of Tru's friends. Tru then saved his life after he asked her for help.
  • Luc Johnston - Tru and Luc started dating and fell in love. However, Luc always questioned why Tru would always take off at a moments notice, and he broke up with her, as he felt she was hiding something from him.
