The gaming world stopped when Rockstar finally dropped the first GTA 6 trailer a year ago. But it wasn’t just the stunning Vice City that got people talking. It was Lucia, the first female lead in the series. We first see her behind bars, hinting at a deeper story, and she’s set to take players on a modern Bonnie and Clyde-style journey. So, who is Lucia in GTA 6, the woman who’s about to change GTA forever?
Who is Lucia in GTA 6?
Lucia is really making waves, not just because she’s the first playable female lead in a mainline GTA game in forever, but also because she’s the second Latin-American protagonist in the whole series. The first was Luis Fernando Lopez from The Ballad of Gay Tony, who’s Dominican-American. It’s pretty cool to see Rockstar embracing more diversity in their protagonists, right?
From what we’ve seen in the trailer, Lucia starts her journey behind bars. We see her in prison clothes speaking to Stefanie, who appears to be a parole officer. When asked how she ended up there, she simply responds with “Bad luck, I guess,” which is a classic mysterious Rockstar character introduction that leaves us wanting more.
Later in the game, it seems Lucia gets released but remains on parole. Sharp-eyed fans noticed she wears an ankle monitor in the key art for GTA 6. This detail suggests her movements might be limited at the beginning of the game, which is a clever game design choice. Rockstar often uses these kinds of limitations (like closed bridges in Vice City due to a hurricane) to gradually introduce players to the game world.
The Bonnie and Clyde Connection
The trailer shows that Lucia eventually becomes romantically involved with the game’s other protagonist. Though not officially confirmed in the trailer, leaks suggest his name is Jason. Their relationship appears to mirror the infamous Bonnie and Clyde, the partners in both crime and romance.
This connection becomes even clearer when we hear Lucia say, “The only way we’re gonna get through this is by sticking together. Being a team. Trust?” Her partner simply responds with “Trust.” This exchange hints at a deep storyline involving loyalty, perhaps with challenging decisions for players later in the game.

Who Voices Lucia in GTA 6?
After the trailer release, fans went into detective mode, trying to figure out who was playing as the voice actor for this groundbreaking character. After weeks of investigation, the gaming community believes actress Manni L. Perez is the voice behind Lucia. Here’s why:
- She bears a strong physical resemblance to Lucia.
- Her voice matches the character’s from the trailer.
- In interviews from about two years ago, she mentioned moving into voiceover and performance capture work.
- She previously did minor voice work for GTA 5 and GTA Online as a clubber.
- After fans began commenting “Lucia!” on her social media, she deleted all her Instagram posts.
Rockstar hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but there’s a lot of solid evidence suggesting Perez is behind Lucia’s voice and performance. If that’s the case, she’s probably under strict NDA and won’t be able to say a word until the game’s launch is right around the corner.
Are you excited to step into Lucia’s shoes when GTA 6 finally releases? The game is already projected to be one of the most expensive ever developed, which suggests we’re in for an incredible experience when we finally get to play as this groundbreaking new character.
