- ―Tracey De Santa
Tracey De Santa, formerly
Tracey Townley, is a character in the
Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in
Grand Theft Auto V.
History
Background
Tracey is the daughter of
Michael and
Amanda De Santa and the older sister of
Jimmy. She was placed in the
FIB Witness Protection Program along with her family in 2004.
Events of GTA V
Broken relationship
- "You ruined my life."
- ―Tracey's most common comment about Michael.
Tracey is first seen in the mission
Complications, while
Franklin Clinton is invading
Michael's House to retrieve Jimmy's
BeeJay XL.
It's shown that she is having an argument with Jimmy and then she locks
herself in her room and keeps talking to one of her friends on the
phone.
Later, in the mission
Daddy's Little Girl, after Michael and Jimmy bet a bike race to
Pleasure Pier, Jimmy informs Michael that Tracey is meeting some guys from the porn industry in an
yacht
near the pier. Michael then swims to the yacht and crashes Tracey's
party saying that he doesn't want Tracey hanging out with these kind of
people. Michael steals a
Seashark to take Tracey out of there, but they are chased by
Blake
and other men. Eventually, after losing their pursuers, Michael leaves
Tracey at the beach. Tracey, unhappy with her father's actions, says
that the only thing he's done for her is ruin her life, making the
father/daughter relationship even more complicated.
In the mission
Fame or Shame, Tracey applied to do an audition for the show
Fame or Shame without telling her parents, but Michael and Trevor ended up discovering about this and they go to the
Maze Bank Arena to take Tracey out of there before she embarrass herself. Tracey does a very sensual presentation and
Lazlow
joins in, making both Michael and Trevor very angry. They crash the
presentation, making Lazlow flee from the Arena with both Michael and
Trevor in pursuit. This makes Tracey extremely frustrated and she calls
Michael after the mission to say that he ruined her life again.
Leaving her father
- "You're deranged dad, you need help before you kill yourself!"
- ―Tracey in a call to Michael after the mission Did Somebody Say Yoga?
Despite not appearing in the mission,
Did Somebody Say Yoga?,
Tracey also leaves the house with her mother and brother after the
mission, because of Michael's behavior. Michael can call Tracey after
the mission, she will say the she is worried about her father and that
he needs to seek help before he ends up killing himself.
During Michael's family absence, Tracey will still show that she
cares about her father, either sending e-mails asking how Michael is and
telling him how her life is with
Fabien or posting on Michael's
Lifeinvader page asking if he is still alive. It's also implied by her new voicemail message, that she is doing sex service via a web cam.
Reunited family
- Michael: "Hey, guy was talking smack to your mother."
- Tracey: "Well, I applaud you, Pop."
- ―Michael and Tracey on the way to Dr. Friedlander.
Finally, in the mission
Reuniting the Family, Michael is trying to bring his family together one more time, he and Jimmy go to the
Blazing Tattoo
studio to find Tracey begging Lazlow for another change in the Fame or
Shame show, which Lazlow says that he will do if Tracey gives him a
blowjob. When Michael hears this, he attacks Lazlow by forcibly piercing
him in the nose, ear and brow, then tattooing a penis in his back or
chest (player's choice). He finally cuts off Lazlow pony tail. Lazlow,
in panic, agrees in puting Tracey back in the Fame or Shame, and Tracey
impressed by her father's devotion, agrees in going with him and Jimmy
to
Dr. Friedlander's clinic. There, after a long session, the De Santa's all agree to move back to the mansion.
Tracey appears again in her own mission
Doting Dad, where she is being stalked by one of her "internet fans". She and Michael go to different points of
Vinewood
looking for the stalker. Once they find him, Michael can either kill
him or let him go (player's choice). His decision will affect Tracey's
dialogue while they go back to the mansion. Regardless, she will still
be happy that her father helped her.
Her last appearance in the storyline is in the mission
Meltdown, she and
Amanda are being made hostages of
Merry Weather soldiers that attacked Michael's house in retaliation of Michael's
betrayal of
Devin Weston.
Michael kills all the Merryweather soldiers and save his family,. But,
Amanda, Jimmy and Tracey once again leaves the mansion, this time to lay
low while Devin is still trying to kill Michael.
Ending
- "Now that I'm almost famous and have stalkers and shit,
this psycho-over-protective-dad routine is finally starting to pay
dividends! Love you, Pop."
- ―Tracey on Michael LifeInvader page, about their new father/daughter relationship.
Tracey can be seen in the in-game TV, after the mission
Reuniting the Family. She appears in the
Fame or Shame
show singing a song called "Daddy Issues" on stage, which is mainly
about her dad. Lazlow even makes a reference to Michael in her
presentation, saying that there's a man that is going to kill him if
Tracey doesn't win. Unfortunately, Tracey loses to the Three
Masturbating Monkeys, much to Jimmy's pleasure who pokes fun of Tracey
on her Lifeinvader page about this.
In one of the hang outs with Jimmy, Michael says that when he
becomes a famous movie producer, he might turn Tracey into a movie star.
Character
Personality
Tracey's true personality is hard to define, as she is quite upset
about many things in-game, including having bad relationships with the
members of her family, who disapprove of her behavior. She appears to be
very spoiled and is portrayed as a stereotypical "daddy's girl". She is
known to be rebellious in her actions against her parents, and even
going as far as
auditioning for
Fame or Shame without their approval.
Tracey is also shown to be quite naive and dim-witted, often
fitting the role of a sterotypical dumb blonde. Her dialogue is almost
always used for comic relief. Her sheep-like nature gives her the
impression that everyone, including those outside of her family, has her
own best interests in mind. When things do not go according to her
standards, she is usually rendered shocked and throws a temper tantrum,
usually screaming and pounding her fists on the floor, blaming everyone
that is "ruining her life".
Despite her rebellious disagreeable behavior, she has some sense
of decency. There have been moments throughout the game where she has
shown respect and compassion toward her father, Michael De Santa,
through e-mails and text messages, worrying about his safety when he is
in danger and missing him when he is separated from his family. Despite
crashing her audition for Fame of Shame, she still prefers him as a
father figure over
Fabien.
Near the end of the game she plans to attend college, which Michael highly approves of.
Appearance
Unlike the rest of her family, Tracey has blonde hair (however, this
may be dyed as her eyebrows are black). She has three sets of tattoos,
one on her shoulder, a near vertical line of stars on the back of her
neck and another on her lower back (commonly known as a "
tramp stamp").
Mission appearances
- GTA V
Trivia
- Tracey owns an orange-ish yellow Issi with a black stripe down the middle. Like all of the De Santa family vehicles, it will always spawn at Michael's Safehouse
while they are living there. It will retain all modifications, both
performance improving and cosmetic, when it re-spawns if destroyed or
abandoned. The Issi has custom license plates reading "P3RSEUS",
referencing Perseus, the "high end" clothing store of Grand Theft Auto IV.
- She has a tattoo on her shoulder, nearly identical to Rihanna as seen in Daddy's Little Girl.
- If the player calls Tracey after "Did Someone Say Yoga?", her
voicemail message will refer to herself as "Tracey Suxx", and mention
that she works a phone sex service via a web cam. The name "Suxx" is a
possible reference to Candy Suxx from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
- This message will no longer play after "Reuniting the Family".
- It can be assumed she also livestreams her having sexual
intercourse while her parents are out, some times even inviting viewers
over to have sex with her on camera. The mission "Doting Dad" reveals that Michael is seemingly unaware of the videos.
- In her bedroom, above her wardrobe, there is a picture of a
much younger Tracey, wearing what appears to be a private school
uniform, hinting that she went to a private school.
- In addition, a picture of a dog can be seen in her bedroom, hinting that the De Santas' had a pet before the events of GTA V.
- Should the player choose to kill Michael, in the mission The Time's Come,
Michael will get a call from Amanda while meeting Franklin, hearing the
news that Tracey got into college. She does go to college in the other
endings as well. In game, she can be seen at her computer in her room.
Should the player talk to her as Michael, she will comment on how hard
college is.
- Tracey's first name was spelled differently in development
stages; it was spelled "Tracy", according to the Grand Theft Auto V
cover story from GameInformer. However, this may have been just a
spelling mistake by GameInformer and it was spelled 'Tracey' all along.
- Her phone number is 273-555-0168.
- Tracey's favorite radio station is Non Stop Pop FM, as it always plays when the player enters her Issi.
- If Tracey is at home, the player can witness some interesting
activities. Sometimes when approaching the front door, Tracey will storm
out from the side of her house either complaining that her car has no
gas, or that she's angry that Jimmy
keeps borrowing her car. Other times, she can be found in her room,
lying on her bed and using her laptop or talking on the phone. And on
rare occasions, she can be found in the bathroom puking into the toilet
while saying "no one wants a fat daughter" (this implies she has an
eating disorder). Also, moaning and other suggestive sounds can
sometimes be heard in her bedroom. Michael is unable to enter the room
due to the door being locked. Tracey can also be found on the stairs
drunk, claiming that she loves her father and he's the 'best father in
the world'. You have the option to give her $50. Also, she could be
found near the swimming pool sunbathing.
- If either Franklin or Trevor
enter the De Santa household while Tracey is near the pool sunbathing,
Michael will text the player saying "Is that you acting creepy outside
my house?".
- Also, if Franklin or Trevor steal Tracey's car, Michael will
text saying "My daughter's car? You're a dick". This will also happen
even if the player drives a different Issi.
- In the trailer, when she is fighting for the remote with her father, she is wearing grey pants, but in the actual mission Friend Request, they are purple.
- Tracey is the only sibling of the De Santas who the player cannot hang out with.
- Tracey is one of the only characters to mention one of the protagonists Special Ability, as she indirectly mentions Michael's during the mission Daddy's Little Girl
when she yells as the people chasing her, sometimes saying 'My dad
never misses!', referring to the fact that Michael's special ability
helps with accuracy.
- Before the mission Reuniting the Family,
it can be seen that Tracey brought a man into her room; locking the
door before you reach the door and sex sounds can be heard.
- If the bathroom is locked in Michael's House, using a high vehicle to see into the bathroom window from the outside reveals that Tracey smokes.
- Despite not being able to hang out with Tracey, Michael can
call his daughter after the completion of several missions, some of them
being Daddy's Little Girl and Did Somebody Say Yoga?.
- In one of Michael's swap intros, he will give Tracey some money
and she will leave the car. If you punch her, she will fight back for
some strange reason. And if you kill her, she will not text you to pay
the medical bills. Probably is due to the fact that at this point,
Tracey is considered an ordinary NPC.
- Sometimes while switching to Michael, Tracey and Amanda will be
seen coming through the front door of the house with some shopping bags
and warmly greeting Michael.
- Even if multiple family members are around, when attempting to
communicate with them, Michael will only speak to Tracey, who doesn't
respond.
- It is implied that Tracey had an eating disorder in the past,
this is implied when at a point in the the game when player walks into
the bathroom Tracey is being sick on the toilet and she blames it on
food she ate to which Michael replies "Tracey, I thought we were past
this".
- Tracey has apparently had breast implant surgery. When driving
recklessly with her in the same vehicle, she may sometimes exclaim that
she could "rupture an implant."
