CHARACTERName: Parker
True Name: Parker
Canon: Leverage (Just after the end of season 5 of the original series)
Age: Approximately 29
History:
Leverage WikiPowers/Abilities:
Exceptional thief - She can break into almost anything, and pickpockets habitually. Outside of high security situations most people can't catch her at it unless she really wants (and actively tries) to be caught, but her old mentor can catch her with ease
Exceptional gymnast - This goes hand in hand with her thieving, she can weave her way through laser grids with ease and all of the needless backflipping acrobatics you'd expect from a tv show. She can also move about almost completely silently
Exceptional climber - She scales buildings regularly as part of her work, and enjoys climbing for its own sake as well. She makes or modifies all her gear (harnesses, etc) and can free climb without gear as well. She often opts for diving out the window as a quick exit strategy whether she was prepared for it or not, and is able to hang from just her fingertips for a long time
Good fighter - While she's not as good as the dedicated fighter in her crew, she can fight her way out of difficult situations if she needs to, and is particularly adept with tasers (see suppressions for more on that)
Decent grifter - Her main skills in grifting come from playing very intense characters, overwhelming people with sheer force of character and confusion. She can be more subtle, but it comes easier when she's not looking for something specific and is playing a role closer to her own personality
Good strategist - She's pretty good at seeing all sides of a problem, and can usually distance herself from it in a way that makes strategic decisions others might find emotionally difficult easy for her.
Inventory: lockpicking set, a couple of padlocks, stopwatch, tiny earbud communicator (probably non functional unless another of her crew appears), bottle of dextroamphetamine (adhd medication)

Suppressions:
Violent tendencies - She can react quite violently in uncomfortable situations, especially ones where people she doesn't trust express more than a passing interest in her romantically and/or sexually, often lashing out with whatever weapon is closest - like stabbing someone with a fork. She's gotten better at keeping this down (No Stabbing Wednesdays!) but the more uncomfortable she is the more likely she is to lash out. Also tasers and other shock devices bring this out without any prompting. If given the opportunity she
will tase someone an unreasonable amount.
Blunt - Parker struggles to understand social cues, and will say what she's thinking - which isn't always kind. She's much better at recognising when something she's thinking might hurt someone's feelings than she used to be, but she doesn't get right every time.
Greatest Fear: Losing the people she cares most about
Greatest Desire: To find people she fits with and can call Home
Greatest Regret: Teaching her brother to ride a bike
