Alex Parrish
Alexandra "Alex" Parrish is a fictional character and the protagonist of the American television drama thriller series Quantico on ABC. The character was created by Joshua Safran and is played by actress Priyanka Chopra. Alex was introduced as an FBI recruit at the FBI Academy, Quantico, Virginia. Considered to be the brightest recruit of her class, she eventually became an FBI field agent and later the prime suspect for a terrorist attack on Grand Central Terminal. After getting fired from the FBI, she joined the CIA where she was trained to become a case officer.
The character and Chopra's performance had positive reception from critics. For her performance as Parrish, Chopra has won two People's Choice Awards: Favorite Actress in a New TV Series in 2016 and Favorite Dramatic TV Actress in 2017. She is the first South Asian to win a People's Choice Award.
Alex grew up in Oakland, CA with her parents Michael and Sita. An alcoholic, Michael was physically abusive towards his wife and daughter. When Alex was in her pre-teenage years, Michael was killed during a violent episode against Sita. The police declined to press charges, unaware that Alex was responsible for Michael's death. Alex was then sent to live with Sita's family in Mumbai.
Alex returned to the United States before enrolling at the FBI Academy in 2015. Unknown to the Bureau, Alex had discovered that her father was a former FBI agent and applied to learn more about his past. Alex kept her activities a secret from Sita, telling her mother that she was starting graduate school. A stuffed bear wearing a UC Berkeley sweater can be seen on her desk in the fifteenth episode of the first season, suggesting that she may have attended the University of California, Berkeley prior to enrolling at Quantico.
At Quantico, Alex quickly formed friendships with some of her fellow New Agent Trainees (NATs), particularly her roommate Shelby Wyatt (Johanna Braddy), Nimah and Raina Amin (Yasmine Al Masri), Simon Asher (Tate Ellington), Eric Packer (Brian J. Smith), Brandon Fletcher (Jacob Artist), Elias Harper (Rick Cosnett) and Caleb Haas (Graham Rogers). She also gained a rival in Natalie Vasquez (Anabelle Acosta), and initiated a romantic relationship with Ryan Booth (Jake McLaughlin), although she was unaware that he was a fellow trainee at the time. Alex and Ryan broke up when she manipulated her supervising training agent, Liam O'Connor (Josh Hopkins), into reinstating Ryan and he was reassigned from Quantico. She subsequently spent New Year's Eve with Liam in a failed attempt to get over Ryan and her new knowledge of her father's past.
