- GTA 6 will feature Lucia as the first playable female protagonist with a story in any Grand Theft Auto game.
- GTA 6 will include a male protagonist, Jason, who will be Lucia's partner in crime; they will share a Bonnie and Clyde-type relationship.
- Leaks and rumors suggest Blindspot's famed actress Manni L. Perez to be the voice actor for Lucia in GTA 6.
The GTA 6 Extended Look finally gave us a proper look at Lucia Caminos, the first female protagonist in Grand Theft Auto’s history. We see her in action, alongside Jason, the second protagonist, getting wrapped up in all kinds of situations. However, there’s more to Lucia Caminos than just being the ‘beautiful’ female protagonist of GTA 6, and we’re here to tell you everything we know thus far.
Who Is Lucia Caminos in GTA 6?
Lucia Caminos is one of the two playable protagonists in GTA 6. Players can switch between her and Jason Duval, using GTA 6’s character switching system. We know she was recently convicted and, after being released from Leonida Penitentiary, has been trying to build a better life. However, we know for a fact that she’s strayed from the narrow path.
Fighting for her family was the reason she was incarcerated; it’s no surprise she chose a life of crime thereafter. Once paired with Jason Duval, they’ve both embraced a Bonnie-and-Clyde lifestyle. It’s clear to see that our female protagonist in GTA 6 has a lot more fight left in her.
What Is Lucia’s Nationality and Background?
Based on the name alone, “Lucia Caminos,” we have a fair idea that she is of Hispanic descent. While GTA 6 is set in the state of Leonida, Lucia hails all the way from Liberty City. We don’t know if she was born and raised there, but we do know her family was associated with the region.
Rockstar Games has also officially stated that Lucia wants the good life her mother had dreamed of since their days in Liberty City. This establishes that our female protagonist has a history with the region, and we could see that connection play out in GTA 6.
Lucia’s Childhood and Family
GTA 6’s female protagonist, Lucia Caminos, had a father and trainer rolled into one. He taught Lucia how to fight from a young age; as soon as she could walk, according to Rockstar Games. This means fighting was in her blood long before she turned to a life of crime. This would also suggest that the family was not very well-to-do, hence her mother’s dreams of having a better life in Leonida.
Sadly, it would seem that Lucia Caminos’ father’s ambition to teach her how to defend herself may have played a role in the events that led to her imprisonment in GTA 6. We don’t know the circumstances that led to her being arrested, but we can speculate she was involved in a fight of some kind.
Who Is Lucia’s Father?
We don’t know who he is, at least not by name, but we do know how he helped shape Lucia in GTA 6. He taught Lucia to fight, which in turn helped her get physically tough. In the recent GTA 6 Extended Look, we see her doing bench presses, indicating she trains regularly. We also see her go toe-to-toe with someone much larger than herself and overpower him.
That said, we cannot assume that her father was a criminal or the reason she turned out this way. All we do know is that Lucia Caminos’ father played a vital role in preparing our female protagonist for anything that life could throw her way in GTA 6. Which is a good thing, as she’ll need to earn money to progress GTA 6’s main story.
Why Did Lucia Go to Prison in GTA 6 and How Did She Get Out?
The only thing we know about why Lucia ended up in prison in GTA 6 is that she was fighting for her family. This is vague, but we can speculate it wasn’t something very serious. Perhaps a deal was brokered, which led to her release, which is why Rockstar Games stated she got out through sheer luck. We can argue that given how large GTA 6’s map is, she could have escaped, but that’s not likely.
What we do know is that as soon as she was out of prison, Lucia teamed up with Jason. They are now together and building quite the reputation, which will no doubt lead to a six-star wanted level in GTA 6 eventually. So much for only making smart moves, we suppose.
What Is Lucia’s Personality Like?
Rockstar Games added an official quote by Lucia Caminos on the GTA 6 website, which reads: “The only thing that matters is who you know and what you got.” From this, we can ascertain that our GTA 6 female protagonist is protective and resourceful. Other than Jason Duval, she has no one she can trust.
We also know that she’s assertive, ambitious, willing to take risks, and is street smart. When having to drive Raul Bautista to safety during the GTA 6 Extended Look, we see that she’s calm under pressure. Although bullets are whizzing past, she keeps driving, knowing the risks at hand, and staying composed through it all.
What Does Lucia Want in GTA 6?
We know she wants the good life that her mother dreamed of her having. However, things have not gone according to plan, much like GTA 6 being reportedly locked at 30 FPS on console. Returning to Lucia, instead of working an honest job in GTA 6, she is willing to do whatever it takes to make it big. This includes petty crime, robberies, and bank heists.
In the GTA 6 Extended Look, we even get to see Jason and Lucia take on a security detail for a client and defend him using all means necessary. This shows she’s willing to take risks to earn a name for herself. How this affects Jason and Lucia’s relationship in GTA 6 is left to be seen.
Lucia and Jason’s Relationship in GTA 6
Lucia and Jason are the modern-day equivalent of Bonnie and Clyde in GTA 6. They are true partners in crime in every conceivable way. This is made ever so realistic, as you’ll be able to use your phone to call/text protagonists in GTA 6 to get them together for a job or just to hang out.
Even after an easy score gone horribly wrong, they still choose to be with each other instead of parting ways. Rockstar Games has even added a quote on the GTA 6 website for Jason, which reads: “If anything happens, I’m right behind you.” This is proof that he’s willing to have her back no matter what happens.
Lucia’s Role in the GTA 6 Story
As far as we know, aside from being the playable female protagonist in GTA 6, Lucia is also central to the storyline. In the opening moments of the GTA 6 Extended Look, we see Jason and Lucia take on an odd job that’s supposed to be an easy score, but the plan goes up in smoke. This is where the storyline kicks off.
While picking up ‘goods’ for Boobie Ike, the building where Jason and Lucia are gets raided by law enforcement, after which all hell breaks loose. Although they managed to escape, they inadvertently got caught up in something much bigger. They are now part of whatever major plot is unraveling in GTA 6; perhaps unbeknownst to themselves still.
That said, based on what we know, all major parts of the storyline will involve both protagonists. However, be careful while playing as either Lucia or Jason, as the GTA 6 Criminal Profile System will affect how the world acts around them. Commit too many crimes, and citizens will report you without hesitation.
What Can Lucia Do in GTA 6?
Based on the gameplay showcased, we know Lucia can do several things in GTA 6. She’s a capable driver and can hold her own in hand-to-hand combat, courtesy of her father. We also see her reloading a shotgun with one hand. This undoubtedly is her special skill. Just remember to take advantage of the Car Trunk mechanic in GTA 6, and change clothes after you decide to flex those shotgun skills.
Aside from these specifics, we know she can accompany Jason on missions and heists, and rob a store solo or with her partner in crime. Basically, Lucia can do everything Jason does from a gameplay perspective, but is arguably the more interesting character in GTA 6. This is also based on the fact that players don’t like how Jason sounds in GTA 6.
What We Still Don’t Know About Lucia – Voice Actor and Other Details
We know the list of GTA 6 characters, but what we don’t know is who voices Lucia Caminos. There are speculations that Manni L. Perez is the voice of Lucia, but Rockstar Games has yet to reveal any details. In fact, Manni L. Perez has largely disappeared from social media at the moment. She’s deactivated her accounts, and there haven’t been any updates for a long time.
The only clue we have that Manni L. Perez is potentially Lucia in GTA 6 comes from an interview on “The Just Acting Up Show” YouTube channel. When the interviewer questioned her about her connection to the Grand Theft Auto franchise, she simply denied it.
In an interview on “Tuesday Talks with Ope”, Manni L. Perez spoke about her fitness, mental health, and acting career. She revealed she was looking to make a switch to motion capture and voice acting, which was five years ago. Given how similar she looks and sounds to Lucia in GTA 6, we can speculate that the transition was a success.
Lastly, we have a list of things we’re still missing information on about Lucia in GTA 6. Here’s the rundown:
- Age and place of birth
- Family’s whereabouts and their history in Liberty City
- Crime for which she was sent to Leonida Penitentiary and how/why she was released
- Lucia’s life before prison
- Meeting with Jason and how their relationship began
And that is everything we know about Lucia in GTA 6 so far. Setting her aside, we know that the GTA 6 map is 2x larger than GTA 5, which means you’ll be exploring a lot, especially since the GTA 6 playthrough could exceed 80 hours.
Let us know in the comments below if you’re excited to play as Lucia in GTA 6, or if you’ll be choosing Jason instead.
