## Personality

The player is a no-nonsense; smart woman who is shown to be bold sometimes and isn't afraid of confrontation. She had a complaining nature in season 1 and came off unbearable by some fans but later as season progressed she toned down a bit. Like a lot of the players, she can get easily jealous when someone else tries to get close to her main love interest (Ryan in this case) which was only applicable for women. She is seen to be judgmental and a hypocritical sometimes and can be snappy with her friends, these examples were seen or proven during some of her interactions with Thomas Gordon, Mark Leviels. Matt Ortega and Jake Stewart. She is shown to be rude to those who have mistreated her, examples are both Jenny (before they reconciled) and Cassidy, or to people she might view as beneath her, like Thomas and Christopher. She is implied by Mark to have great persuasion and management skills when he tried to defend her from Ryan. She is claimed to be talkative by some fans. She sometimes happens to be blunt when she actually called out her thoughts on Mark in the third and final season where she said Cassidy would be glad to "help" him showing that she still had thoughts that he was sleeping with her. She can also be spiteful and hold onto grudges, but is usually able to get over those grudges through communication. She can be a good friend and listener, but she mostly displays these characteristics when she is having a good day and not problems of her own. With her son, she is really kind and caring and shows her positive characteristics to him. Mark has complimented her on her parenting skills as he saw how brave her son was as compared to other kids who were the same age as him during the storm. During the events of the third and final season, the player also has a twisted kind of relationship with the second love interest, Parker Sparke. At first she was wary and against Parker for stalking at them for taking photos and accusing the player by making horrible tabloids and framing her for the food poisonings in Havana. But in Chapter 4, after hearing the story of Parker, she was moved and later consoled him. In Chapter 5, she forces Parker to join her in investigating Ryan's poisoning and the children's poisoning in Havana. Throughout the investigation the player meets Adam's friends Derrick Tremblay and Owen Hobbad who later turned out to be helpful. In Chapter 6, Derrick was able to give possible suspects in Ryan's conspiracy attacks which happens to be his loyal co-workers Gabriel Simons and Mark Leviels who were possibly collaborating together in taking him down. Later the player accepts to have Parker as her salsa dance partner for the dance competition where Ryan was originally going to be participating. Even though the player does display feelings for Parker, she is loyal to Ryan and respects the constitution of marriage as she refuses to kiss him, and in the bad ending, doesn't want to sleep with Parker unless she gets a divorce first.

In Parker's story, she was mentioned a few times by the player during their work at Carter Corp as well as Jake during Chapter 2 when she sent him to look after the player and her company after learning about the news of El Manchado, a Spanish mafia group led by Parker's estranged father, Luis Antonio Toledo.
