Tru Davies is the main character of the TV series Tru Calling . She is 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.
Karin Beeler argues that Davies is a "unique postfeminist reconstruction of the Cassandra figure." [1] Dominique Mainon and James Ursini view her as a woman warrior, "battling not only potential killers and accidental chains of events, but also time." [2]
