Been listening lot of EWU and general crime documentaries/podcasts on my daily commute, and I keep hearing about DNA profiles. After looking it up briefly, I saw that our DNA is all so similar anyway, but there are specific identifiable patterns. Someone can match the profile but not be an exact match- how does this work? What are traits that a DNA profile can describe?

It does not describe any traits at all, its just a list if genes(or positions in your gene chain) that are known to be different in humans.
Humans share 50% of DNA with plants and 98% with pigs, so 99% of this huge string of DNA pairs is totaly the same between two people, genetic markers are the remaining 1%
In some cases you can say that more people with some skin type or hair color have some specific marker.
