Tanisha Jackson

Background

Tanisha Jackson is Franklin Clinton's ex-girlfriend in Grand Theft Auto V. She grew up in the same South Los Santos neighborhood as Franklin and Lamar, but unlike them she has left gang life behind. She and Franklin split before the game begins, partly because of his gang lifestyle and partly because of the recent death of her brother, who was involved with gangs.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V

Franklin tries to win her back through phone calls and emails, but she turns him down each time. After Marriage Counseling she stops by his house to explain that she needs a stable man and wants to start a family.

Her most important appearance comes in Lamar Down. Tanisha arrives at Franklin's new house in the Vinewood Hills to tell him she is about to marry a doctor named Jayden, and that Stretch has set Lamar up to be killed by the Ballas. Franklin rushes to the sawmill in Paleto Forest, where he, Michael and Trevor rescue Lamar.

Personality

Tanisha is grounded, direct and mature. She refuses to excuse Franklin's mistakes but still worries about him.

Relationships

• Franklin Clinton: her former boyfriend, whom she wants to see escape the streets.
• Lamar Davis: a friend from the old neighborhood she has little patience for.

Trivia

• Completing Lamar Down unlocks Tanisha as a Director Mode character in the enhanced version.
