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 portrayed by Priyanka Chopra, who became the first
South Asian to lead an American network drama series. Her casting has received
widespread praise and media attention, crediting ABC for bringing more diversity,
especially an Asian as the face of a mainstream American series on a huge network.

The focal point of the series, Alex was introduced as a recruit at the FBI Academy,
Quantico, Virginia. Alex eventually became an FBI field agent and later the prime
suspect for a terrorist attack on Grand Central Terminal. Despite clearing her
name, she was fired from the Bureau and went on to join the CIA, where she was
later named a fugitive for releasing classified U.S. intelligence to the public.
The series focuses on her struggle to keep her country safe, while juggling her
career and maintaining her on and off relationship with boyfriend Ryan Booth and
her friendship with her best friend Shelby Wyatt. Originally conceived as a white
character, Alex's characterization changed significantly following Chopra's
casting, which came as a result of a talent holding deal ABC Studios had with the
actress. Chopra had said that she saw this role as an opportunity to represent
South Asians and break Indian stereotypes in Hollywood and the United States.

The character has garnered positive reviews from critics and Chopra was immediately
praised for portraying her, with James Poniewozik of The New York Times naming her
the "strongest human asset" of the show, while other critics have called her
"charismatic and commanding". For her performance as Alex, Chopra has won two
People's Choice Awards: Favorite Actress in a New TV Series in 2016, making her the
first South Asian to win a People's Choice Award, and Favorite Dramatic TV Actress
in 2017.

Character storyline[edit]
Early life[edit]
Alex grew up in Oakland, California, with her parents Michael and Sita. Her father
was an alcoholic and physically abusive towards his wife. 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, India. Alex returned to
the United States, where she enrolled at the FBI Academy in 2015. Unknown to the
Bureau, Alex had discovered that her father was a former FBI agent and had 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.

Training at Quantico[edit]
On her way to Quantico, Alex has sex with a stranger, Ryan Booth (Jake McLaughlin),
only to discover that he, too, is a new trainee. At the Academy, Alex befriends her
fellow New Agent Trainees (NATs), particularly her roommate, Shelby Wyatt, and
(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 gains a rival in Natalie
Vasquez (Anabelle Acosta), and begins a romantic relationship with Ryan. The NATs
are trained vigorously on a daily basis, learning different lessons presented every
week by the supervising training agent Liam O'Connor (Josh Hopkins) under the
guidance of Deputy Director Miranda Shaw (Aunjanue Ellis). Alex discovers that Liam
had hired Ryan to spy on her from day one and even earlier. She also learns the
truth about her father.

After the merging of two different classes at Quantico, Alex is partnered with Drew
Perales (Lenny Platt), who used to play for the Chicago Bears before joining the
Bureau. Several other NATs are also included as part of the merge, including Iris
Chang (Li Jun Li) and Will Olsen (Jay Armstrong Johnson). During her training at
Quantico, Alex learns that Liam and Ryan were indirectly responsible for an
incident of gang violence that took the life of Drew's girlfriend and led him to
join the FBI, a source of tension between Liam and Drew. Later, Drew and Alex
become romantically involved. Alex and her remaining classmates (Shelby, Raina,
Nimah, Caleb, Brandon, and Iris) graduate from Quantico with offers to work in
field offices across the nation.

Accused[edit]
About a year after her arrival at Quantico and several months after the successful
completion of her training, Alex is living in New York City and is preparing to
work the security detail for the upcoming Democratic National Convention. On the
morning of the convention, Alex awakes in the ruins of Grand Central Terminal, and
discovers it was destroyed several hours earlier with high-grade explosives. Alex
is taken into custody and learns that she is being charged with the terrorist
attack on Grand Central. Alex's initial escape is orchestrated by Deputy Director
Miranda Shaw (Aunjanue Ellis), her primary instructor at Quantico, who refuses to
believe that she is responsible.

Alex is able to prove her innocence in the Grand Central Terminal bombing with the
help of her classmates at Quantico and discovers that the suspected bomber was
former FBI analyst-trainee Elias Harper (Rick Cosnett), who had planted the bomb
under the instruction of a terrorist mastermind. Having cleared her name in a
congressional hearing, Alex is reinstated as an FBI agent and assigned to the field
office in New York City, specifically the operations section, and now strives to
uncover the true mastermind behind the bombings as the 2016 Presidential election
draws ever closer. Prior to the election, the terrorist kills Natalie Vasquez and
Drew Perales to force Alex into doing his bidding. At the end of season one, Liam
is revealed to be the traitor, with Alex and Ryan killing him in the finale. After
the bombings, the ensuing publicity, and Simon Asher's death, Alex is fired from
the FBI. Two months after the presidential election, Alex is approached by Matthew
Keyes (Henry Czerny), the director of the CIA, who extends an offer for her to join
and work for the organization.

Working for the CIA[edit]

In the second season, Parrish, who appears to have been fired from the FBI, is
working a desk job as an analyst at the CIA while living with Shelby and continuing
her relationship with Ryan, who later becomes her fianc. Flashbacks reveal that
she is working undercover for the FBI as a CIA recruit. She is tasked with
uncovering a rogue faction of the CIA called the AIC. At The Farm, she is joined
with other recruits, including Harry Doyle (Russell Tovey), Dayana Mampasi (Pearl
Thusi), Sebastian Chen (David Lim), Len Velez (Aarn Daz), Leigh Davis (Helne
Yorke), and Jeremy Miller (David Call). Ryan later joins the other recruits at the
site, much to Alex's surprise. Some time after her recruitment, Alex has a meeting
with Matthew Keyes and Miranda Shaw. It is revealed that she was recruited by the
CIA as part of a covert mission to establish any potential threats within the
agency. Ryan is also recruited by the agency for the same mission. Owen Hall (Blair
Underwood) is confirmed to be the primary CIA instructor for the training site at
The Farm. In addition, Lydia Hall (Tracy Ifeachor) is later revealed to be another
trainer on-site. Alex and the other recruits undergo a series of training
assessments in order to become future case officers. After being kicked out of The
Farm by Lydia, Alex goes back to working as an analyst. In addition, she breaks off
her engagement with Ryan some time before the 2018 G-20 hostage crisis in New York.

Hostage crisis[edit]
During a hostage crisis at the 2018 G-20 summit in New York, Alex witnesses the
execution of the First Lady before disguising herself as a member of the Citizens
Liberation Front. She attempts to gain information about the terrorist group that
was involved in orchestrating the crisis. Prior to escaping the financial district
area, she manages to expose the conspirators within the FBI and CIA that are deeply
connected to the Citizens Liberation Front as well as the AIC. The AIC is later
revealed to be a rogue intelligence group within the CIA that had the backing of a
shadow cabal syndicate to push a certain nefarious agenda.

Re-instated[edit]
Two weeks after the end of the hostage crisis, President Claire Haas (Marcia Cross)
and CIA director Matthew Keyes put forth a covert joint task force between the FBI
and CIA. President Haas mentions that there were eight collaborators within the
shadowy cabal group who are secretly involved with the AIC. As a result of Lydia's
actions, the collaborators gained access to sensitive U.S intelligence. This
information was vital to their goal of controlling certain areas within the
government. As a response, the task force is assigned to uncover the conspiracy and
expose the involvement of the collaborators in orchestrating the hostage crisis.
Alex is hired to be a member of the task force along with Ryan Booth, Nimah Amin,
Shelby Wyatt, and Dayana Mampasi. The leader of the group is Clay Haas (Hunter
Parrish), a renowned political advisory strategist. Prior to the formation of the
task force, Alex is re-instated as an FBI agent.

The team members are assigned missions to uncover the identities of the
collaborators. They fail to achieve their goal after the media reports on the
unsanctioned activities of the task force. Following the publicized accounts of the
task force in the broadcast media, the Speaker of the House, Henry Roarke (Dennis
Boutsikaris) takes the opportunity to criticize Claire's presidency and calls for
her impeachment. After Haas resigns from her presidency as a result of the scandal,
it is revealed that Roarke has succeeded in being appointed as the President of the
United States. Shortly after his inauguration, he requests a new Constitutional
Convention in order to rewrite the United States Constitution.

In the days leading to the Constitutional Convention, Alex and the rest of the task
force try to stop Roarke from getting the votes needed to allow the Convention to
take place. After their initial plan fails, they resort to a final strategy. At the
convention in Philadelphia, Alex publicly broadcasts Roarke's recordings with the
Federal Security Service and emails the evidence to the ACLU and other rights
organizations, before having Miranda fake her death by shooting her at the event.
Roarke, not willing to face the press or the police, commits suicide.

Fugitive[edit]
Due to Alex committing treason by releasing classified U.S intelligence to the
public at the Constitutional Convention, she is branded as a fugitive of the United
States. Sitting together in a car, Owen mentions to Alex that she needs to maintain
her cover so as to evade capture from domestic and international law enforcement
agencies as a result of being issued an Interpol Red Notice for her arrest. Along
with Ryan, she leaves the country on a plane to an unknown international
destination.

Development[edit]
Creation and casting[edit]
Joshua Safran had initially envisioned Alex as the one of the protagonists of
Quantico.[1] When he was writing the character, his personal struggle with not
knowing whether one of his family members was a pathological liar or involved with
a government agency helped Safran build Alex's perception of her own family. Safran
wrote his own experience into Alex's struggle to learn the truth about her father.
[1][2] He said "I've always struggled with knowing that I would never know the
truth, because there is no real such thing as the truth with regard to somebody who
may or may not be telling the truth. That struggle informed the character of
Alex."[2]

Priyanka Chopra was cast in the role in February 2015, which was the result of a
talent holding deal between Chopra and ABC Studios.[3] The deal required ABC
studios to either develop a project starring her or cast her in an existing show
for the 2015 network television season.[4] For quite some time, the casting
executive at ABC, Keli Lee, had been trying to convince Chopra to do television in
the United States, something that Chopra was not sure of.[5] However, when Chopra
was first considering the possibility of doing a television series in America, Lee
learned that another studio was also trying to sign her, to which she reacted by
saying, "No, you can't make this deal elsewhere. You're coming here. And I'm flying
to India." Later, Lee traveled to India and was finally able to convince her to
accept the offer.[5] In an interview with Vanity Fair, Chopra revealed the only
condition she put forward to Lee for doing a show was that she wanted them to find
her a series that would put her in the same position that she currently enjoyed in
India.[6] She said "There were TV shows and movies that were offered [to me] before
this one as well. But I wanted a part that put me on the same platform as [I had
in] India. I wanted to play a leading part. I didn't want to settle for anything
less."[7]
She walked into the room, and it was like the molecules shifted in that way that
superstars have. I was very confused because I didn't know who she was, but we all
sat up straighter. We're like this is clearly a movie star; it's like every hair on
the back of your neck stands up watching her act. When I went back home I couldn't
think about anyone else. It wasn't even like I was thinking Priyanka has to play
this, she had actually re-envisioned the character from my eyes.
Safran on his first meeting with Chopra.[7][8]
Chopra saw the deal as an opportunity to represent South Asians and break Indian
stereotypes in Hollywood and the United States in general.[1][6] In the process,
she became the first South Asian to headline an American network drama series.[9]
She revealed that when she was in school [in America], she never saw anyone on
television who looked like her, and she found it really weird because she thought
there were so many people of South Asian descent in America and in other parts of
the world.[1][6] She also revealed that she did not want to be a stereotype of what
Indians were usually seen as in global pop culture, saying that Indians never talk
like Apu from The Simpsons.[7][6] After signing the deal and being given all the 26
pilot scripts that ABC was developing for the 20152016 television season, Chopra
chose Quantico.[5][10] Having appeared in over fifty films at that time, the series
was also Chopra's first ever audition, which she found very new and nerve-wracking
at the same time.[11]

Following Chopra's casting, the series underwent a significant change. Safran had
initially intended to make the show as an ensemble drama with no obvious lead, but
after Chopra's casting, Alex became the main character and the show was re-
structured around her.[12][13] The character was initially written to be white,
which was also re-written, keeping Chopra in mind. The background of the character
was tweaked by making her half-Indian, with an additional backstory of Alex having
spent ten years in Mumbai, India.[5][12][14] Apart from changing her ethnicity,
Safran completely re-envisioned the character. For example, Alex was initially
written as "jaded and brooding" but was re-written as "fun and warm". Earlier, the
series was supposed to focus on the character's dark side because Safran had never
imagined Alex having a positive side, which changed after Chopra stepped in the
role.[14] Safran said, "Priyanka came in and played all of that but as a character
who was always in control. And still warm and vibrant because she knew no one was
going to get through her walls. From that point on, Alex was the kind of character
who can have humor, who can have heart."[14]

Characterization[edit]
The series is told from Alex's point of view.[15] The American Broadcasting Company
describes her as a "fiercely competitive and naturally gifted" person, who can read
people instantly which makes it hard for her to trust anyone, making her
relationships short lived.[16] At the 2015 Television Critics Associations Summer
Press Tour, Chopra said that she chose the series as her first television project
because of the character's appeal, comparing her to "the female Jason Bourne".[15]
Chopra chose to depict the character as tough but also feminine, saying "She's as
smart as that, but she is also vulnerable and soft. I didn't want to make Alex
extremely macho, I wanted to celebrate femininity. You can be an absolute woman and
also be smart and tough and not lose your femininity."[1]

Alex was initially written as a white character and was re-written with Priyanka
Chopra in mind.
Screen Rant wrote of the character: "Rather than beginning the series in a state of
potential heroism, Alex begins the series as a potential villain. And yet, Alex is
still a hero. Everything that follows is a desperate attempt at survival and at
remaining one step ahead of those who are trying to harm her. In fact, Alex's
narrative is one in which she is nearly immediately immersed in adventure and
thrown headfirst into chaos."[17] The character is also opinionated and outspoken.
Chopra said "Alex is someone with a point of a view and she's a woman with an
opinion and at the same time she's not afraid of being who she is. The modern woman
today is different and Alex is definitely bold and expressive and she identifies
herself as a human being of today, not a man or a woman. She's empowered and she's
confident."[18]

Alex has been depicted as someone who is not afraid of expressing her sexuality,
and as a flawed human being who takes charge of her own life.[18][19] Chopra told
Cosmopolitan: "It's empowering in that way, which doesn't say that sexual freedom
is what empowerment needs to necessarily be. It's extremely individual to each one
of us. As for Alex, she happens to not care."[19] The character treats men as
dispensable entities, similar to how men usually treat women. She does not treat
men as if they are the most important thing in her life because she is more focused
on her work, with men just happen to come and go in her life.[1][19] Chopra
explained "I think that's extremely empowering on her end. It may not be something
I personally agree with or something I do, but I think different people have
different individual choices that they make."[19]

Alex's friendships with her fellow trainees also form the crux of the character as
well as the series, especially her friendship with her roommate and best friend
Shelby.[20] Johanna Braddy, who plays Shelby, told TV Guide that Shelby's
friendship with Alex is a big part of Quantico.[20] Safran talked to Entertainment
Weekly that the idea for their friendship came from the similarity between the
characters.[21] He said "So for Alex and Shelby, you know, as roommates and as
friends, we just really loved the idea of these two people from two different parts
of the world, all these things that don't touch upon each other, but they actually
at their core are both very driven, successful, smart, and kind humans that find
each other."[21] One of the other characters Alex is very close to, other than
Shelby, was Simon, who is killed in the finale.[22] Talking about losing a friend
and its repercussions on the Season 2, Chopra explained: "She's extremely affected
[but] doesn't believe in sharing her emotions or opening up with someone."[22]

As the show progresses, Alex and Ryan's romance evolves into a relationship.[23]
When Alex confesses that her only motive to join the Academy was to find out the
truth about her father and was about to leave, Ryan makes her realize that she is
meant to be an agent.[23] Alex's on-again off-again relationship with Ryan has been
described by Chopra as star-crossed.[22] She said "Alex and Ryan are star-crossed
lovers. You love them and they fight and have this intense passionate bond. But
Alex is also a little self-destructive. She's a solitary person and she's not
vulnerable enough, whereas Ryan really is. She's a little rough around the edges
and whatever's happened in the past, she has trust issues. So that leads to issues
in their relationship."[22] Fans have dubbed Alex and Ryan "Ralex". On being asked
about the possibility of having to choose between Ryan and saving the world, Chopra
said "I'm pretty sure she'd pick saving the world, because she's that kind of
person."[22]

Reception[edit]
The character of Alex Parrish received positive reviews and Chopra was immediately
praised for her portrayal. Describing the character as cool, charismatic, and
complex, Sonia Saraiya of Salon said that Alex Parrish is the Indian-American
heroine she had been waiting for.[24] James Poniewozik of The New York Times
described Chopra as the "strongest human asset" of the show, adding that "she is
immediately charismatic and commanding."[25] Buddy TV praised Alex's
characterization, calling her "Bold and Sassy" and writing, "She's daring enough to
hook up with a guy she just met in an airplane and sassy enough to call him out
later in front of everyone when he pretends he just met her."[26] The A.V. Club
wrote, "Chopra is one of those performers who reduces you to the language of an
old-Hollywood agent type. She's just got that thing. She's got zazz. She pops on
screen. Chopra is not just gorgeous, she's naturally charismatic."[27] An article
published by SheKnows Media noted that although the show has many fascinating young
characters, Alex in particular "sits at the center".[28]

Alex Parrish has been a part of an unconventional hero's journey. She's flipping
the typical narrative on its head and re-ordering the steps. In spite of the fact
that her journey is not one that perfectly parallels the stereotypical hero's
journey, Alex constantly believes in others and fights for justice. She is self-
sacrificing and kind, genuinely caring about those around her. She's vulnerable and
unapologetic in expressing her emotions.
Screen Rant on the character's analysis.[17]
Rob Lowman of Los Angeles Daily News was impressed with Chopra's performance,
calling her "charismatic" and writing, "I was immediately struck by her dynamic
screen presence. Chopra is someone worth keeping an eye on."[29] Emily Canal of
Forbes called Quantico "One Of The Most Feminist Shows" of the season, praising its
female characters and writing, "Quantico not only highlights a handful of diverse
women, but gives them more than just love interests to drive the plot. They're
forceful, have storylines that propel their narrative and dialog that doesn't shy
away from the double standards and hardships women face in reality."[30] She also
noted the fact that Alex takes control of her sexuality and decisions, saying,
"What was set up as an uncomfortable situation where Booth was in charge, swiveled
into a scenario that gave Parish the reins."[30] TheWrap's Tim Grierson wrote,
"Chopra has a poise and sexual spark as Alex that suggests a formidable potential
FBI agent whose mind and beauty are equally stunning."[31]

In 2015 BuddyTV ranked Alex Parrish number one on the list of "12 Breakout
Characters of the Fall 2015 TV Season", writing, "Chopra shines in her starring
role. Alex is a heroine to stand alongside ABC's other female leads like Meredith
Grey, Annalise Keating, and Olivia Pope."[13] It also declared Chopra's portrayal
of Alex Parrish as the 2015 Sexiest Woman on Television.[32] Entertainment Weekly
adjudged Alex the 2015's number one "Butt-Kicking Woman in Movies/TV".[33] TheTV
Insider declared Alex as one of the Kick-Ass Women on Primetime television.[34] In
2016 Screen Rant listed her seventh on the list of "12 Female TV Characters
Redefining the Hero's Journey".[17] The same year, InStyle ranked Alex as one of
"The 16 Most Inspiring Female Characters on TV" and BuddTV named her one of the ten
"Sexiest Female TV Characters".[35][36]

Chopra has also received a number of accolades for her performance. At the 42nd
People's Choice Awards, Chopra won a People's Choice Award for Favorite Actress in
a New TV Series for the role, becoming the first South Asian Actress to win a
People's Choice Award.[37] She also received a Teen Choice Awards for Choice TV :
Breakout Star nomination at the 2016 Teen Choice Awards.[38] She won a second
People's Choice Award at the 2017 ceremony, this time for Favorite Dramatic TV
Actress.[39]
