| ♦ Parker's Backstory | Parker (alias - real name unknown)* grew up in the foster system from a very young age . Not much is known about Parker's childhood, except that we can assume it wasn't a good experience for her, and she blames it for how she "turned out," which she doesn't think is a good thing. [1.06 The Stork Job]
She has been fostered in both Kansas City and Camden, Illinois, in which both cases we have seen her with "Bunny" her stuffed animal. Whether Parker still has Bunny is yet to be revealed, but it seemed to be important to her as a child. [101 The Nigerian Job & 103 The Two Horse Job]
Her fake profile for "Alice White" sets her birth date as April 1,1978, which would make her 31 years old (at the present time). However, we don't know that it is Parker's real age and birth date or if Hardison just guessed when preparing it. It also states her height as 5'7" and her weight at 115 lbs. [111 The Juror #6 Job]
Parker loves money, and would rather have it than buy anything with it. [102 The Homecoming Job] She's kind of odd in her manner of speaking, which makes most people think she's crazy. She's not very modest, and also seems to not have any kind of normal fear like heights or enclosed spaces, but seems rather to emotionally respond better to instances in her past more than anything. She's only insecure about one thing: her ability to pass herself off as a normal person. Sophie has been trying to teach her how to interact better with the human race, and has made slow but steady progress.
According to Dean Devlin, Parker has a touch of Asperger's Syndrome, which accounts for her difficulties in normal social interaction. **
Parker also seems to have a slight inability to tell white lies, even in the instances to lie to make someone feel better. Such as telling Sophie that her acting was good, even when it wasn't [104 The Miracle Job] or telling someone that they don't look fat in what they are wearing [107 The Wedding Job]
During one job, Parker was put in rehab and diagnosed with Kleptomania, a disorder where a person has the instinct to collect things, often through a way of stealing. From Parker's revelation when she automatically stole a gun off of a man in the hall ("I didn't mean to, it was just instinct."), it is possible that she has this condition as well, and might not have the ability to control her stealing. [110 The 12 Step Job]
Parker also likes to figure out how to break into seemingly difficult buildings and bypass nearly impossible security systems just for fun. According to her, some people do crosswords... she does that. [112 The First David Job]
Parker is wanted in nine different countries, two of which include Brazil and Yemen. [1.13 The Second David Job]
