Who she is

Lucia Caminos is one of Grand Theft Auto VI's two playable leads, and the first woman to lead a GTA story in the modern era of the series. Confirmed She was the first character players ever saw: Trailer 1 opened with her inside the Leonida Penitentiary.

Rockstar's profile says her father taught her to fight almost as soon as she could walk, and that life has kept throwing punches at her ever since. Fighting for her family is what landed her in prison, and, in Rockstar's words, it was luck that got her out.

Liberty City roots

Lucia's official profile says she wants the good life her mother has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City. Confirmed It's a small line with big implications for fans: Liberty City is GTA's version of New York, the setting of GTA IV, so Lucia's family history quietly ties Leonida to the wider series.

Rockstar hasn't said whether Lucia herself was born there, when the family moved to Leonida, or whether any of that past comes back in the story.

Her plan

Out of prison, Lucia has decided to make only smart moves from here on. Rather than wait for her mother's dreams to come true, she intends to make them happen herself, and she's committed to her plan whatever it takes. Rockstar suggests that a life with Jason could be her way out. Confirmed

What that plan actually is hasn't been revealed. It's one of the biggest open questions going into launch.
