* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler: After finding out that she knew about the Troodon from the start, and is in fact responsible for them still existing in the first place, Yoder pulls a knife on her with deadly intent, but the others get him to let her live and settles for forcing her to admit that it's all her fault. She does, though it still seems she has to decide if her pride is worth more than her life. The events in the marine exhibit show that she still hasn't learned her lesson, but this time the consequences are [[KarmicDeath far more tragic]].]]

Dr. Sorkin is one of [=InGen=]'s leading paleogeneticists. Being a former animal rights activist, she feels a deep connection with the park's dinosaurs, and is strongly opposed to their exploitation. As a result of this, she was removed from [=InGen=]'s geneticist team and replaced with Dr. Henry Wu, who cut many corners in the dinosaur cloning process - much to her disgust.

* CoolTeacher: To Jess during episode two. [[BrokenPedestal Gerry has quite a different view, however...]]



* TheDitherer: She repeatedly insists on not jumping to conclusions, which is potentially commendable in most circumstances, but it becomes her only real defence when [[spoiler: Yoder accuses her of knowing the Troodons were escaping from the quarantine pens]].



* TheMillstone: Had she not held up the team with her little science project in episode 2, every playable character would have made it off the island alive. She is also responsible, either directly or indirectly, for the deaths of [[spoiler:D-caf, Oscar, and herself]].
