Tracey De Santa

Background

Tracey De Santa is Michael and Amanda's daughter in Grand Theft Auto V. She is a young woman obsessed with becoming famous, whether as a singer, dancer, reality star or influencer. She spends much of her time on social media, sunbathing by the pool at the Rockford Hills mansion or going to parties with people her father considers dangerous.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V

In Daddy's Little Girl, Michael learns that Tracey is at a party on a yacht off Del Perro Pier with men who promise to make her a star. He jet-skis out, climbs aboard, throws one of the men overboard and brings his daughter home, much to her embarrassment.

Her social life is a constant source of conflict at home. Father/Son opens with Amanda and Tracey arguing over whether a male friend can stay the night. In Daddy's Little Girl, the yacht's owner and his friends chase Michael and Tracey on jet skis after Michael drags her off the boat.

Her biggest moment comes in Fame or Shame. Tracey auditions for Lazlow Jones's talent show at the Maze Bank Arena with an awkward dance routine. Michael, who has just reunited with Trevor, watches as Lazlow mocks her. Michael and Trevor chase Lazlow out of the arena and through the city, and finally humiliate him on camera.

When Amanda leaves Michael after Did Somebody Say Yoga?, Tracey goes with her. She returns after the therapy session in Reuniting the Family, where each member of the family vents about the others.

In Meltdown, Devin Weston sends Merryweather soldiers to the De Santa mansion. Tracey and Amanda are tied up and threatened, and Michael and Jimmy fight their way through the house to free them. The ordeal helps bring the family back together by the end of the story.

Personality

Tracey is vain, dramatic and attention-seeking, but also naive rather than malicious. She craves validation from strangers and sees her father's overprotectiveness as an attack on her career plans. Despite their fights, she knows Michael will drop everything to protect her.
