Trinity
Trinity gets the opening of the film, and that choice does a lot of work. Before the audience meets the protagonist they watch a woman in a corridor take out a room of armed police, freeze mid-air and hold there while the camera walks around her — the first bullet-time shot in the picture, spent on her rather than on Neo.

Who is Trinity?
Trinity gets the opening of the film, and that choice does a lot of work. Before the audience meets the protagonist they watch a woman in a corridor take out a room of armed police, freeze mid-air and hold there while the camera walks around her — the first bullet-time shot in the picture, spent on her rather than on Neo. It establishes the rules of the world and it establishes that she is already what he is going to spend the film becoming. The Wachowskis have since spoken about the film as an allegory for transition, which has changed how the character reads for many viewers. What has not changed is the design influence: the long coat, the flat black latex and the small oval sunglasses were imitated so widely and so fast that they dated within about three years.

What Trinity looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: Black latex, a long coat and small oval sunglasses; the green code
This franchise's apparel is carried almost entirely by the falling green code rather than by any character — a column of glyphs on black is instantly identifying and needs no likeness. The silhouette of coat-and-glasses is the secondary mark.
The falling green code carries this property with no character at all — a column of glyphs on black. Coat-and-glasses silhouette is the secondary mark. Almost entirely black garments. Adult sizing.
