Biography
Dana Booker was an agent for the Federal Beauru of Investigation a year before "Pilot". She was tasked with investigating Michael Jalali, who committed embezzlement and numerous other crimes. The investigation led her to the only remaining member of the Jalali family, Ava, who was left behind by her parents. She interrogated the girl multiple times as she thought that Ava knew her fathers' location. Dana became obsessed with the Jalali case, which led her to break the rules. Consequently, Dana was fired by the F.B.I. She was soon hired by Claire Hotchkiss as BHU's newest head of security. Her first case was investigating the murder of Nolan Hotchkiss and bringing his killer to justice.
Personality
Strong-willed and a quick thinker, Dana is used to solving major crimes and dealing with criminals. She is coy, manipulative, and has a loose moral code with little-to-no regard for other people. She is obsessive, perceptive, and driven by her desire to catch the guilty. While Dana prides herself on being a member of the law and believes she is above those who break it. However, this belief is hypocritical, as she has broken countless laws in her pursuit of the Perfectionists.
