Oftentimes Parker is the odd one out in her network of criminal good guys. She is a difficult to understand person with a troubled past. This makes it hard for her to branch out from her very narrow set of associates. While her "mother", Sophie, tries her to better interact with others, it is evident that is a slow process. The bond she shares with her teammates while very odd is the most important bond she has with anyone she has known in life. It is shown that her childhood was spent in the foster care system, though it is revealed that she resents that life, a confession she shares with Hardison, saying that kids put into the system will end up like her, proof of her own resentment of who she is.

Aside from the limited knowledge about her past and who she is, Parker is a known thief, wanted in nine countries including Yemen and Brazil. While she isn't a thief for specific material gain other than money, she is good at what she does, which is probably instinctive, proven in her accidental snatching of a gun from a man while she is in rehab. Parker has the habit of planning out impossible heists, something she refers to as a pastime, much like people doing crossword puzzles in their free time. She is an adrenaline junky, shown in her many daredevil stunts including many moments of using rappelling gear to drop long distances. Her convincing techniques are lacking, but she has been known to pursue others into her ideas with crazy tactics. Her conversational arts are brash and very blunt and prove her to be gruff and impatient.

Parker maintains to be the most reclusive of the team, often a deeper mystery than anyone on the team could dream of cracking. She is twisted, but lovable.
