	Movies - Trinity

Trinity is the central female fictional character in The Matrix universe, played by actress Carrie-Anne Moss in the films The Matrix
, The Matrix Reloaded
and The Matrix Revolutions
and in the film segments of The Matrix: Path of Neo
. In the gameplay segments of Path of Neo, she is voiced by Jennifer Hale.

Trinity was the first officer on the Nebuchadnezzar, a Zion hovercraft commanded by Morpheus. Her "birth" name as a human living inside the Matrix is unknown. Apparently while inside, Trinity had made herself as a local legend in the illusory hacking community of humans living in the Matrix for hacking into the Internal Revenue Service database. Based on Neo's recollection on first meeting Trinity, as well as information from "A Detective Story", an animated short film from The Animatrix
, most people mistake Trinity's reputation as being a male.

Like other hovercraft crews, Trinity's job involved the freeing of minds that she and Morpheus determined were ready to accept the truth about the Matrix.

Finding Neo

Under the guidance of Morpheus, Trinity and the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar observe and later free from the Matrix a man who calls himself by his hacker name of Neo. It is apparent that Trinity has begun to develop feelings for Thomas Anderson (his name as he is known by most inside the Matrix) before the very start of the first movie, "The Matrix", as she relieves Cypher from his observation shift earlier than planned just to watch Neo.

In an earlier visit, before the events of the first movie, Trinity was told by The Oracle that she would fall in love with a dead man and that man would be The One, a person with fantastic superpowers while inhabiting the Matrix. Like others who received predictions from the Oracle, Trinity keeps her foretellings to herself.

Shortly after taking Neo to visit the Oracle for the first time, Trinity and Neo are nearly killed by Cypher, who betrays the crew and kills Apoc, Switch, and Dozer before being killed himself by Tank, the ship's Operator. Neo and Trinity reenter the Matrix and successfully rescue Morpheus from Agents, sentient programs that destroy anyone who learns of the Matrix and its reality. After the rescue, Neo is apparently gunned down by Agent Smith, but after Trinity tells Neo's lifeless body of the Oracle's prediction, she kisses him. This kiss apparently revives Neo's mind, and he arises inside the Matrix as The One, with his powers enabled.

In Love and War

Approximately six months pass until we see Trinity again, now dressed in a longer plastic leather trenchcoat that looks remarkably similar to Neo's cassock-like trenchcoat. She joins him inside the Matrix whenever possible. Trinity and Neo have become lovers and steal moments for themselves whenever they can.

After Neo meets with the Oracle and obtains information on The Keymaker; Trinity, Neo, and Morpheus successfully free the Keymaker from the imprisonment by The Merovingian, a power-hungry sentient program. Neo is forced to kiss Persephone, the wife of The Merovingian, in order to free the Keymaker. Persephone is a sort of emotional vampire and wants to sample the love between Neo and Trinity through the kiss. This act made Trinity almost insanely jealous.

Throughout The Matrix Reloaded
, Neo finds himself with troubling visions (while still in the real world—Neo's powers aren't exclusive to within the Matrix as shown later in Reloaded) of Trinity falling to her death after being chased out the window of a tall building by Agents. He asks her not to enter the Matrix as he, Morpheus and the Keymaker make their way to the door that leads to the Source, the mainframe computer that controls the Matrix, and she initially agrees. However, after one of the three hovercraft crews are killed as they attempted to remove one of two obstacles that would keep Neo from entering the Source, Trinity rushes in to complete the destroyed crew's task, successfully disabling a backup power grid to a building where the Source door resided that Neo must enter. Just as Neo envisioned, Trinity is attacked by Agents and forced to flee by falling out of a tall building and to certain death.
