==Background==
Not much is known about Mrs. Davis prior to the Toy Story franchise, only that she has two children (Molly and Andy) and a "lost" husband.
===Personality===

In the first film of the saga at Andy's 6th birthday party, she has brown hair tied in a high ponytail and wears a pink T-shirt, aqua pants with roses printed all over her leggings, and navy ballet flats. On her trip to Pizza Planet for dinner with Andy and baby Molly, she wears a white T-shirt, green vest with sunflower heads all over, and the same amount of pants and flats. At bedtime, while she kisses Andy goodnight, she wears a cream shirt with tulips printed all over, blue skin-tight pants, and the same color amount of flats.

In the third film of the saga, while she is about to donate Andy's toys to Sunnyside Daycare, she now has short hair dyed in golden blonde and wears a blue shirt, white unbuttoned overshirt, blue jeans, and brown ballet flats. In the end, on Andy's departure to college when she bursts into tears and hugs her son goodbye, she wears a teal V-neck T-shirt and a white shirt from the inside that almost shows her breast cleavage, blue jeans, and same color amount of flats.
== Appearances ==
===Toy Story===
In Toy Story, Mrs. Davis makes her first appearance. As the family is moving to a new house the following week, she holds Andy's birthday party a week early to accommodate the move. During the party, Andy's favorite toy, Woody, sends Sarge and a platoon of other green army toys downstairs to alert the other toys of new gift arrivals. However, Mrs. Davis briefly interrupts their plans when she accidentally steps on one of the soldiers, damaging it in the process. Annoyed, Mrs. Davis brushes them aside with her foot before proceeding to the living room.
When the gift-opening sequence is nearly over, Mrs. Davis brings out one more surprise gift, which is a Buzz Lightyear action figure. The green army men, including Andy and his friends, are surprised by the new toy. The excited group of kids race upstairs to play with the new toy before Mrs. Davis calls them downstairs for games and prizes.
Two days before the move, Mrs. Davis prepares to visit Pizza Planet with her children and tells Andy he can bring only one toy with him. This causes Woody to accidentally throw Buzz out of the window, making Andy choose him instead. While making their way to Pizza Planet, Mrs. Davis stops for gas and eventually continues the ride, unknowingly leaving Woody behind.
When Woody and Buzz finally arrive at Pizza Planet, they notice Andy and his family passing by and Woody makes a plan to jump in Molly's stroller, but are delayed and missed since Buzz leaves to do something else.
When the family returns, Andy notices Woody is missing, too, and Mrs. Davis assures him that they're most likely around somewhere, most likely in the car (unbeknownst to her that they are next door at Sid's house).
The next night, after some packing, Mrs. Davis attempts to look for both Buzz and Woody but cannot. Mrs. Davis tells her son of her results, and all she could find was his hat. This disappoints Andy deeply.
Mrs. Davis drives her car during the move and pays no attention to the events going on in the background. Later, Andy alerts his mom by telling her that Woody and Buzz were, in fact, in the car all along (although they were not).
At the end of the film, it is Christmas time, and Mrs. Davis gives Andy a puppy as a Christmas present, which makes Woody and Buzz feel uncomfortable.
===Toy Story 2===
In Toy Story 2, Mrs. Davis returns has slightly aged. She is heard alerting Andy that he has cowboy camp very soon, and has about five more minutes before leaving. Andy takes this time to have one last playtime session with his toys before accidentally ripping Woody's arm open. Mrs. Davis, confused, questions why Andy is not in the car yet and realizes that Woody's arm has ripped. She suggests that they could fix him on the way, but Andy decides to leave him behind. Mrs. Davis reminds Andy that toys don't last forever, and the family drives off, leaving Woody shelved.
The next day, Mrs. Davis prepares for a yard sale. Woody then alerts the toys so they can have time to prepare. They quickly hide as Mrs. Davis enters Andy's room and starts gathering old and unused toys, one of them being Wheezy. Because of this, Woody calls for Buster and the two attempt to save Wheezy before he is sold. Although they succeed in saving the toy penguin, Woody is left behind by accident, and is picked up by a little girl, who pressures her mom to buy him. The mom refuses and throws the rag doll on a table, and is found by the excited Al, who wants to buy Woody. Mrs. Davis is confused, as she has no memory of bringing Woody down to the yard sale, and takes him out of Al's hands. Al then states that he will pay fifty dollars for the toy, but Mrs. Davis assures him that it's an old family toy and she will not sell him at any price, and she locks Woody inside a metal case. Al prepares to leave, before distracting Mrs. Davis and quickly steals Woody and drives off.
When Woody returns home with some new friends, Andy immediately thinks that Jessie, Bullseye, and the little green men were given to him as gifts from his mother, although it was made to appear that way. He quickly thanks his mom, and begins to play with them. 
The following morning, Mrs. Davis prepares to leave, and is happy to see that Andy has fixed Woody's ripped arm. He then tells his mother he's glad that he didn't take Woody to camp, as his whole arm might've come off. In the end, Mrs. Davis is seen watching Molly take steps towards her, as she jokingly asks Andy if Molly is ready to drive.
===Toy Story 3===
In Toy Story 3, a visibly older Mrs. Davis makes her final "present-day" appearance. In the beginning, she is seen filming Andy with his toys throughout the years as he slowly grows up.
Present-day, Mrs. Davis pressures Andy to get ready for college by packing up or throwing away his belongings. When she finds his old toys, she suggests he either donate them or sell them online, but Andy refuses both options. Before leaving his room, she tells him that whatever isn't packed before going to college will be thrown away. Ultimately, Andy decides to take Woody to college with him and store the rest of the toys in the attic.
Later, Mrs. Davis trips over Andy's bag of belongings he originally planned to put in the attic. Thinking that the bag is full of trash, she mistakenly throws it away, alongside her own garbage, and leaves the bags on the curb. Thankfully, the toys escape on their own, and Woody attempts to save them during the process.
When the toys believe they were actually intended to be thrown away, Jessie comes up with the idea that they should donate themselves to Sunnyside Daycare, and hop in the donation box in the back of Mrs. Davis's car. She then proceeds to drive off with the donations, and drops them off at Sunnyside, where she is greeted by her old friend, Mrs. Anderson. She then acknowledges Bonnie's presence and tells her how big she has gotten.
While packing later in the evening, Andy looks in the attic for his toys but cannot find them there. He inquires his mother, who is gasps in shock as she realizes her mistake--the trash bag contained Andy's toys. She explains to Andy that she had unwittingly thrown them away, much to his disappointment. Mrs. Potato Head sees the events unfold from an eye she left in Andy's room and the toys realize their misunderstanding.
At the end of the film, Mrs. Davis helps Andy grab his belongings for college, and asks him if he had said goodbye to Molly yet. But when Mrs. Davis enters his empty room, she immediately starts tearing up and tells Andy that she wishes she could always be with him. Andy assures his mother that she will, before Buster and Molly enter the room for a final goodbye to Andy. During that time, Woody quickly writes a note on the box (in which the toys are in), telling Andy to donate them to Bonnie Anderson. Andy then asks his mom from down the hall if he really should donate his belongings, before she says it's all up to him.
===Toy Story 4===
In Toy Story 4, Mrs. Davis has her smallest role out of all of the Toy Story films. She briefly appears at the beginning of the film during a flashback segment nine years before Toy Story 3. During a rainy night, an unnamed man turns up as a guest at her home whom she invites to collect Bo Peep's lamp set from Molly's room. She doesn't appear throughout the rest of the film.
==Trivia==
*Although presented as a loving mother to Andy and Molly, Mrs. Davis is actually, without meaning to be, a major threat to the toys, as she frequently asks Andy to throw out the toys he no longer wants. Mrs. Davis' actions regarding the toys set the plot in motion in all four films.
*Mrs. Davis' license plate number is the first reference of the serial number A113, which is present in every Pixar film.
*In Toy Story 2 and 3, Mrs. Davis' hair has changed from long and brown to short and blonde, suggesting that she had it dyed and cut short.
*She is apparently ambidextrous, as she is shown writing with both hands in the third film.
*She also appeared in Toy Story 3: The Video Game (PSP version) outside Andy's room.
*In the NBC sitcom, The Office, it is revealed that Michael Scott's favorite character is Mrs. Davis.
*A common speculation is that Mrs. Davis is Emily, the former owner of Jessie, because of their similar appearances and Andy's hat from the first Toy Story film looking similar to Emily's. However, this is more likely to be because of the reusing of assets during the rushed production of Toy Story 2.
**If she was Emily, this would create a plot hole, because Jessie should have recognised her.
*In The Art of Toy Story book, it is revealed that Mrs. Davis' original name in the recording script of the original film is listed as "Jennifer." A majority of fans call her as such.
*Mrs. Davis' physical appearance changes drastically in every film (with the exception of Toy Story 4).
*It is unknown what had happened to Andy and Molly's father.
**We never see her wearing a wedding ring at any point in the first Toy Story-movie, indicating that she could be divorced from Andy and Molly's father, or was never married.
**Mrs. Davis could also be a widow, as hinted by some BTS-commentaries for Toy Story, and fan theories based on the photographs in the house at the beginning of the first film.
