 Tru Davies | |
| First appearance | Pilot |
| Last appearance | 'Twas the Night Before Christmas... Again |
| Created by | John Hardmon Feldman |
| Portrayed by | Eliza Dushku |
| In-universe information | |
| Occupation | Morgue worker |
| Relatives | Harrison Davies, Meredith Davies, Richard Davies, Jordan Davies, Claire Davies, Oliver Davies |
Tru Davies is the show's main character, portrayed by Eliza Dushku.
At the age of only 12 years old, Tru witnessed the murder of her mother, Elise Davies. Later in the series, it is revealed that Carl Neesan (Wade Williams), the hitman who killed her, was hired by Tru's father Richard. After her mother's demise, Tru, her younger brother Harrison and older sister Meredith were abandoned by their father and little has been revealed about who raised them from that point on.
Tru possesses the power to relive the current day when a corpse asks for her help in order to save their life, or to help someone whom the person affected in some way. Mostly triumphant, Tru has on occasion been unsuccessful in saving lives, sometimes because of the interference of Jack Harper and sometimes because the person was not meant to live. On some occasions her power manifested differently. In one episode, a group of five corpses all asked for her help at the same time. Other times, her day rewound more than once during a rewind day, as in "The Longest Day" and "Grace". In "The Last Good Day", when a dead woman asked Jack Harper for help, Tru finally experienced what Jack does when a corpse asks her for help. She described this as a dark feeling that she would never want to experience again.
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 broken the rules of preserving fate, such as causing Luc's death to teach Tru a lesson.
While Tru claims that she is saving people who were taken before their time, Jack claims that he is merely preserving fate, and that if Tru saves someone who is meant to die, she creates a ripple effect in fate.

| Portrayed by | Jason Priestley |
Jack Harper, a counterpart to Tru's character, is introduced mid-first season as a foil and possible love interest. He is there to make sure fate gets its way, and introduces a philosophical aspect to Tru's endeavors: should she be saving the lives of people who may have been intended to die? Years before, he worked as a paramedic. While trying to save a child during a neighborhood shootout, he was shot in the back and was physically dead for minutes until being revived by his co-worker. At some point after that, Jack finds himself reliving days and admits himself to a psych ward, believing that he's gone insane after his near-death experience, until he is approached by Tru's father. In season one, after Tru prevents the death of her brother, Jack sends Tru's boyfriend Luc to die in his place. In the second season, Tru and Jack compete to get to someone first — her to save them, and him to restore the order of fate, and maintain what he believes to be the balance of the universe. Sometimes Tru wins and sometimes Jack does. However, when someone asks Jack for help instead of Tru, he is unsure whether he is supposed to make sure she dies, or save her. He finds out she has cancer and will die regardless, and that she only wants to have one final good day before she kills herself, in order for her sister to get insurance money. Tru convinces her to postpone that plan, and try to have many more good days first. She decides to do that, and she and Jack go to where she'd died before, a tower she'd jumped from, but this time only so that she can enjoy the view. Jack makes sure she goes over the ledge, but he grabs her hand, and she begs for him to pull her up. In the end, he lets go and she falls to her death. Tru arrives just in time to watch her fall, and she tells Jack, "I wish it were you." Jack walks away, saying, "That makes two of us."
