Trinity is the main female fictional character in The Matrix universe, played by actress Carrie-Anne Moss in the films The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, Enter The Matrix, 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.

The character's name is derived from the name given to the triune Godhead in Christianity.

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. However, she only briefly and vaguely refers to her previous job as an accountant during the first Matrix movie. While inside the Matrix, 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 (at least according to Trinity herself, "most guys") make the mistake of assuming someone of Trinity's reputation as being a man.

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.

Under the guidance of Morpheus, Trinity and the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar observe and later free from the Matrix, Thomas "Neo" Anderson. It is apparent that Trinity has begun to develop feelings for Neo 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 man and that man would be The One, a person with fantastic superpowers while inside 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, Morpheus is captured and Trinity and Neo are nearly killed when Cypher betrays the crew to the Agents. Neo and Trinity reenter the Matrix and rescue Morpheus from Agents, sentient programs that police the artificial reality of the Matrix and hunt down and kill rebels. After the rescue, Trinity is successfully unplugged from the Matrix, but the exit is destroyed before Neo can follow her. Following a long fight and a chase sequence, Neo is gunned down by Agent Smith and dies. Refusing to believe that Neo is really dead, due to the Oracle's prediction, Trinity then tells Neo's lifeless body that he must be The One because she is in love with him, and kisses him. She tells him to get up, and he comes back to life and kills Smith, stepping into the role of The One in doing so.

Approximately six months pass before we see Trinity again. She and Neo have become lovers and steal moments for themselves whenever they can. It is also stated that Trinity and Ghost have a sibling-type relationship , sparring each other whenever possible. Unbeknownst to her, Ghost had unrequited love for her, knowing that she wouldn't feel the same way about him.

Neo meets with the Oracle, who tells him that he must find The Keymaker. Trinity, Neo, and Morpheus free the Keymaker from imprisonment by The Merovingian, a power-hungry sentient program. Persephone, The Merovingian's wife, asks Neo for a kiss, saying that she will give the rebels the Keymaker in exchange. Persephone feels suffocated in her marriage to The Merovingian and wants to sample the love between Neo and Trinity through the kiss. At this request, Trinity points a handgun at Persephone threateningly and says, "Why don't you sample this instead?" as she cocks the weapon.

Throughout The Matrix Reloaded, Neo has troubling dreams (while still in the real world) of Trinity falling to her death after being attacked and chased out of the window of a skyscraper by an Agent. 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 the Vigilant's crew is killed while carrying out their part of the mission, Trinity rushes in to complete the destroyed crew's task, disabling a power grid so that Neo can reach the Source. Just as Neo envisioned, Trinity is attacked by Agents and forced to dive out the window of a skyscraper.

Neo learns from The Architect that he is the sixth One to appear. Neo is given a choice by the Architect: enter the Source and save Zion, or leave and rescue Trinity, which the Architect assures him will result in the destruction of the human race. All of Neo's predecessors chose to go to the Source, but Neo experiences love for humanity more distinctly through his love for Trinity, and leaves to save her. Neo catches Trinity, and after she dies from a bullet wound, revives her just as she once revived him.

After Neo stops five Sentinels in the real world just by thinking it, Trinity cares for the unconscious Neo at the start of the final movie, The Matrix Revolutions. She and Morpheus later discover that Neo's mind is being held prisoner by the Merovingian. After unsuccessfully pursuing the Trainman to gain Neo's release, Trinity, Morpheus, and Seraph, the Oracle's guardian, decide to enter Club Hel, a nightclub owned by the Trainman's boss, The Merovingian. Trinity and the group dispatch the bodyguards in front of the club but are outgunned and are captured by the Merovingian's minions as they enter the club. Frustrated with the Merovingian's monologueing on terms to obtain Neo, Trinity says, "I don't have time for this shit," begins a fight and places The Merovingian in a Mexican standoff to successfully obtain Neo's release from the Train Station.

Shortly after returning Neo's mind to his body, Trinity accompanies Neo to the Machine City in an attempt to stop the war. Neo is blinded by Bane, whose body is controlled by a Smith clone. After dispatching Bane, Trinity pilots the Logos past the Machine City's defenses by catapulting the ship over the defenses and briefly into the clear Earth sky above the dark clouds. The Logos stalls as it falls. Trinity reactivates the hovercraft pads, but too late. Her body is impaled by rebars as the Logos crashes into a central spire in the Machine City. Trinity has a last moment with Neo before he kisses her and her life fades away for the last time.

Trinity's loss allows Neo to finally face Smith. Having everything to gain for all of humanity and Machines and nothing left to lose for himself now that Trinity had died, Neo sacrifices himself to Smith by becoming a Smith clone. Since Neo was the only program that could destroy Smith (as his code is what the Architect needed to destroy Smith and balance the Matrix),like a balancing equation, the replication destroys Neo and Smith simultaneously, leaving the Matrix at is normal state.

The fate of Trinity's remains has never been verified to date. In the online game The Matrix Online, the memoirs of an exile program known as the Assassin, whose purpose was once recycling the corpses of the humans plugged into the Matrix, claim that he was not allowed to recycle Trinity's corpse, and that the machines were planning some kind of project for it. It has been speculated that the Machines studied Trinity and used what they learned in the creation of Agent Pace.
