Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Twitter community notes confirm Lucia is not the FIRST-EVER female protagonist in the GTA franchise.Â
Information reads: “Lucia is not the first female protagonist in the GTA franchise.
In GTA 1, there were four playable female characters.”
In Grand Theft Auto, players are able to select one of eight different protagonists to play as (four in the PlayStation version, twenty-four in the Game Boy Color version). Despite the varied selection of characters, they are no different in-game in terms of abilities, the only variance being the color of their clothes, hair and skin. Each character has a default first name which the player may choose to use, but they can be renamed if the player wishes.
In addition to featuring characters of different appearances and backgrounds, the game is also notable for featuring both male and female protagonists in the PC and Gameboy Color versions. The characters are illustrated in the same manner as other characters in the game, with a semi-realistic but somewhat stylized facial design.
