Played by Kristen Vangsness,
Penelope Garcia is the team's Technical Analyst at headquarters. She is fun-loving and provides the rest of the
team with comic relief. She got her last name from
her stepfather—hence the Latina implication—but she is not Hispanic.
She was shot and almost killed in season 3. She and SSA Morgan share a
very friendly-flirty relationship but never go beyond that, although
Penelope shows mild jealousy when she sees him dancing with two other
women, and he responds negatively when asked for proposal advice by her
boyfriend, Kevin Lynch. Penelope lost both of her parents at the age of
18. She taught herself to hack after she dropped out of college and
was grouped with the best hackers in the world. After being caught by
the FBI, she was given a choice of living in a high-security prison for
the rest of her life or working for the BAU as an
analyst. She is in a relationship with fellow FBI employee Kevin Lynch.
When Jennifer Jareau leaves the BAU for a promotion to a position at the pentagon, Garcia takes up her responsibilities as media liaison and retains this position even when JJ returns to the BAU as a profiler.
