GTA 6, the highly anticipated sequel to the iconic open-world franchise, has sent shockwaves through the gaming community. Rockstar Games’ recent trailer unveiled a treasure trove of details, including the groundbreaking introduction of the series’ first female protagonist – Lucia.
Lucia’s initial appearance throws us into a gritty prison facility within the fictional state of Leonida. The stark setting and her attire hint towards a Hispanic background, potentially tying her to a South American nation. This speculation gains further traction from the official poster released by Rockstar, showcasing Lucia with an ankle monitor, reminiscent of GTA Vice City’s limited movement mechanics early in the game.
Bonnie and Clyde in the Neon Jungle?
While Rockstar has the flexibility to change the male protagonist’s name (currently Jason), the narrative might stay true to the Bonnie and Clyde inspiration. The trailer cleverly mirrors their real-life timeline, with Lucia’s prison escape potentially leading to an encounter with Jason. This partnership could blossom into a love story as they navigate the neon-drenched streets of Vice City.
The Voice of Lucia (GTA 6):
While Rockstar remains tight-lipped about Lucia’s voice actress, the internet detective work has yielded some intriguing leads. Blindspot actress Manni L. Perez has emerged as a strong contender.
A YouTube interview clip showcasing her nervous reaction to a GTA 6 -related question has fueled the speculation. Additionally, a recent social media post by user @Dyllie compiles further evidence,

including Manni’s expressed desire to transition into motion capture and voice acting. These details, coupled with her resemblance to Lucia in the trailer and posters, add weight to the theory.
