Dr. Malina Reyes-Тургенев is a Supervisory Special Agent with the BAU. She picks up new languages very quickly and has a huge love for kids. For a long time Malina has had trouble with commitment due to her first notable relationship with Alan Jewell in college and her season one relationship with Mason.

## Background

Malina was born on June 24th, 1978 in Roanoke, Virginia when her mother, Emily Reyes, was 24 years old. Prior to her birth her mother left her father due to his dangerous friends always hanging around while they were together. Due to this Malina spent the first 4 years of her life without a father figure until her mother started dating James Тургенев in late 1982. Malina at the time had already started to learn her mother's native languages to communicate with her grandparents and James had started to teach her Romanian and Russian in order to communicate with his 6-year old daughter, Opal. This early exposure led to her love for languages as well as her ability to pick them up so quickly. In 1984, when Malina was 6 years old, James and her mother got married and by 1985 James had legally adopted Malina. In that same year her sister Gina was born and Malina started to learn Spanish. In 1988 Malina's twin brothers, Atticus and Asher were born.

When Malina started high school she decided to take French for 4 years and joined the Spanish Club. In her junior year of high school, Malina started to consider career choices that she would be interested in doing and couldn't really come up with anything. However, in her senior year Malina decided that she wanted to be a translator due to her love for foreign languages. That same year she was accepted into Cornell University on a full-ride where she decided to major in not one but 4 fields of study, which was uncommon but, was accepted by the university. After Malina's high school graduation she was invited to a party by one of her popular classmates. Malina goes to the party and was promptly humiliated in front of everyone. She states that throughout the party the cutest guy in the school started to flirt with her and give her false hope that he wanted to be with her. Malina asked him to go on a date with her to which he publicly rejected her in front of his friends and the former cheerleaders dump shushie all over her from above her. After this encounter she started to show signs of paranoid personality disorder however her therapist said that the signs also appear in anxiety. She started to take alprazolam after that in order to cope with her issues later getting addicted to it. Malina continued to struggle with this addiction throughout college.

In Malina's 3rd year of college she read Rossi's book, *Deviance: The Secret Desires of Sadistic Serial Killers* and decided that she wanted to join the FBI. She enrolled in the FBI Academy online in her 2nd year of her PhD program. In that same year Malina starts a relationship with Alan Jewell, who ultimately leaves the city after they sleep together. She learns from his roommate that had been in the process of transferring and the night before was his last day there. She later learns that she is pregnant after the night with Alan. Soon after the news Malina quits alprazolam and started to attend addiction groups to make sure that she stopped. Miles was born prior to the start of her third year in her PhD program. After graduating in May of 2004 she enrolls in the FBI Academy to complete her training and moves to Washington DC. While enrolled in the Academy she did on-the-job training at the BAU before becoming a permanent addition to the team in August of 2004.

## Personality

Throughout the book Malina is depicted to have heavy commitment issues after the birth of her son Miles. She doesn't date people very often and when she does the relationship is no more than a couple weeks to a little over a month long. Malina blames this on Alan for walking out on her with no word and Mason cheating on her in season 1 but the problem is much deeper than that rooting back to her anxiety disorder and her fear that the relationship would never last and they would just leave.

Malina has a tendency to avoid her problems either throwing herself into her work or her kids. Malina is a hard-worker even without having any issues going on in her life making it harder for the others to notice if anything is wrong with her due to her hardworking nature.

Malina is said to be trustworthy and loyal and most people come to her when they have a problem or she is the first to notice and try to help them through it. This is mostly seen in her interactions with Spencer, JJ, Penelope, and Emily as they are the people that she is the closest with as well as with her children.

For the most part Malina is a very honest person and rarely ever lies unless someone is trying to see how she is feeling in which she tends to lie and keep things to herself. She however, is unable to lie to Emily or her children and she has no idea why that seems to be the case.

Malina is seen as very charming to men, often seen flirting with guys on her nights out with the BAU ladies or while hanging out at a bar with the team. Malina also seems to attract the male gaze without even trying and gets hit on very frequently while in public or on cases.

### Season 1

At the beginning of the series we are first introduced to Malina through a flashback where she asks her mother why her father didn't want her. We learn very early on that Malina's mother was a single parent for the first few years of her life but she now has a step father and sister.
We then learn that Malina is think specifically about this moment because her mother just recently had a stoke and she is worried that she may have to continue her life without her mother.
She soon gets a call from Hotch saying that they have a case and asks if Malina is up to returning to work yet. Malina throws herself quickly back into her work as she gets ready to leave much to the protest of Elena.
While at work we get to see her dynamics a bit with the other agents, mostly with Hotch and Reid.

Malina and Reid seem to butt heads a lot throughout the chapter as the two think a lot alike and tend to say what the other is already thinking with Reid being the one to speak first in most cases pissing off Malina. Malina seems to be cold towards Reid and doesn't seem to talk to him unless she has to and even states that he is not her "cup of tea." However, the two seem to work pretty well together and according to Hotch this is why he puts them together on assignments often.

In contrast, Malina seems to have the best relationship with Hotch due to him being her mentor when she was first starting out at the BAU as a probationary agent. The two are very close as both co-workers and as friends and if he doesn't out Malina with Reid he tends to take her with him as he knows that they also work well together. Malina has a lot of respect for Hotch and listens to him more than anyone else

## On The Job

Malina joined the BAU at age 26 and one of her first cases was that of Brian Matloff. Since it was also one of Spencer's first cases the two seemed to butt heads a lot which led to Malina's disliking for the younger agent that she previously had feelings for. At the time Malina was still only an intern but she later became a permanent part of the team and her first case as a permanent member of the team was a hostage situation that she handled very well and got a lot of praise for.

Malina graduated from the FBI Academy at the top of her class and there was very little that Malina couldn't do. What was most astounding to her teachers was how ahead of the class Malina was even though she had a young son at home. Malina used her son as motivation to excel in her classes saying that people would underestimate her more not only because she was a woman but because she was a single mother and the daughter of a once single, immigrant mother.

## Relationships

### Family

Miles Reyes-Тургенев

*Main Article: Malina and Miles*

Miles is Malina's first born son and in many ways her savior. Prior to Miles's birth Malina struggled with drug addiction but when Malina learned she was pregnant she decided that it was time that she got help and started on the road of recovery. Miles's birth was definitely unexpected for Malina but he became her motivation whenever she felt like she couldn't do anything. Aside from Elena, Malina considered Miles to be her best friend and confidant. Throughout the series Miles is shown comforting his mother when she is going through a tough time or just needs a friend.

Silas Reid

*Main Article: Malina and Silas*

Silas is Malina's second born son and the oldest of Malina's twin boys. Much like Miles Silas and his twin brother were sweet surprises for their mother who wasn't expecting to have children at the time. After Malina discovered she was pregnant she was extremely happy but also a bit scared due to her weird relationship with the father. Malina came around to the idea of having more kids and was terrified when she learned she was having twins. After the twins were born Malina was able to develop very strong relationships with her two younger sons even with the way her job kept her away from them. Silas enjoyed having Malina read to him which Malina would do whenever she got the chance to.
