Generally confident and an excellent all-around athlete, Parker's great weakness is that she has falls apart in conversation with women she considers cute and has no ability to flirt.

Parker was born in San Francisco in the Tough Love Dimension. Confident and athletic, she started forming a sprawling polycule in college, starting with her crush Helga Moreno. After college, she and a friend with their own large polycule, the Tough Lover Dimension's Knight Urlacher, agreed to a friendly (though fiercely contested) blaseball game between their two polycules. Parker's polycule won, but the players found the game so exciting they combined to form a professional team., with Parker as captain. The resulting team - the Tough Lovers - was dominant in their dimension's Internet Blaseball League, winning three championships in the league's first four seasons.  
  
Parker was a last-minute addition to the original roster, joining at the behest of her best friend, [[Helga Moreno]]. Parker played blaseball in college and was a natural addition to the team but she only agreed to play so she could get closer to her crush, [[Helga Burton]]. At the end of season 3, Parker still hadn't confessed her feelings (although she had started dating several other members of the Lovers, including [[Kichiro Guerra]] and [[Knight Urlacher]] - mostly by accident).

Upon arriving in our reality, Mirror Parker (so-called specifically because she's constantly wearing a pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses) accepted Knight's leadership of the team but told them she was coming for their spot. The Tough Lovers had a much more competitive ethos than the Lovers from this universe, embodied by Parker. When she first arrived, she pressured other Lovers, notably Percival, into stricter training regimens and a different, more cutthroat on field attitude, sparking frequent disagreements with Knight.  
  
During the extended Siesta prior to season 4, Parker shared her feelings with Helga Burton over social media, and the two started dating. Shortly after, she realized that Helgas Moreno and Burton were actually two people who share one body; although initially alarmed, she talked it out with [[Helga]] and they continued dating.
+
This conflict came to a head in the season 5 playoffs; when [[Milo Brown]] started giving up runs in game five of the semifinals, Parker ultimately agreed with Knight that supporting him was more important than winning the game at any cost. Since then, Parker has remained fiercely competitive but been more easy-going with her teammates.

Sometimes called "Suave Parker" for obvious reasons, Mirror Parker has many similarities to her Prime equivalent: she's transgender, Chinese-American, a lifelong San Franciscoan, and an excellent pitcher. But the similarities end there.
 
 
 
In her own (possibly exaggerated) account, in Parker's reality the Lovers began as a playful competition between Parker and Knight to see whose polycule was best at blaseball. The competition was fierce and fun and everyone liked each other so much that they all decided to form a professional team. In this other reality, Parker was the team captain, not Knight, and [[Helga]] is one woman in one body masquerading as two different women. Parker had a big crush on [[Helga Moreno]] which she acted on immediately. 
 
 
 
Upon arriving in our reality, Mirror Parker (so-called specifically because she's constantly wearing a pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses) accepted Knight's leadership of the team but told them she was coming for their spot, and set out with confidence to build a new and more extensive polycule.
