Lucia Caminos

The other playable character, and the first woman to lead a Grand Theft Auto. Twenty-three official screenshots have her in them, and one of them puts her in an orange prison jumpsuit and handcuffs.

Rockstar files her under People/Lucia Caminos. Ten screenshots are hers alone, thirteen are shared with Jason Duval, and together they make her the most-photographed person in the press pack alongside him. Of everything in the pre-release material, her name is the one with measurable search behind it already.

The ten solo shots do not settle on one register. She throws a punch in a dim room with a gloved fist. She leans on the edge of a hotel pool in aviator sunglasses with a strawberry cocktail beside her. She stands against a yellow sportbike outside a bar whose neon reads LIQUOR BAR. She drives fast through a teal-lit tunnel with a pistol in her hand and a police car behind her. She works out on a weight machine in a cropped hoodie reading BADDIE. She dances in a club under blue and red light.

One shot is different from all the others. She stands in an orange jumpsuit with her wrists cuffed in front of her, hair braided, two other inmates behind her and an officer's belt in the foreground. It is the only official image that places a protagonist inside a custodial setting, and it is the reason the correctional facility has its own page here.

In the thirteen shots with Jason she is armed as often as he is: a pistol raised in a jewellery store, a pistol in her lap in a car, a pistol fired backwards off the back of a dirt bike while a police car chases them. The last of the thirteen is the quietest – the two of them embracing at sunset on the water, with airboats and flashing lights behind.

How to recognise it

• Named by Rockstar's own press pack: People/Lucia Caminos
• Twenty-three official screenshots, ten of them hers alone

• Braided hair in several shots, worn up in others

The frame it comes from

The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 3840 by 2160 of it.

What we still do not know

• Why she is in custody, and whether that scene opens the game or sits inside it
• How the switch between her and Jason works
• Whether the relationship with Jason is fixed or something the player steers
• Her voice actor, and whether the name is spoken in the game or only in filenames
