*Tracey De Santa, formerly Tracey Townley, is a main character appearing in Grand Theft Auto V, and makes a minor appearance on the Fame or Shame TV show in Grand Theft Auto Online.
Tracey's true personality is hard to define, as she is quite upset about many things in-game, including having bad relationships with the members of her family, who disapprove of her behavior. She appears to be very spoiled, obnoxious, and immature, and is portrayed as a stereotypical "daddy's girl". She is known to be rebellious in her actions against her parents, and even going as far as auditioning for Fame or Shame without their approval. She is an example of the valley girl stereotype.
Tracey is also shown to be quite naive and dim-witted, often fitting the role of a stereotypical dumb blonde; her dialogue is almost always used for comic relief. Her sheep–like nature gives her the impression that everyone, including those outside of her family, has her own best interests in mind. When things do not go her way, she throws a tantrum, screaming and pounding her fists on the floor, blaming everyone for "ruining her life".
Despite her rebellious, childish, and above all, disagreeable behavior, she nevertheless retains a sense of decency. There are several moments throughout the story where she shown to be respectful and compassionate towards her father. Through e-mails and text messages, she is shown to be worrying about his safety and even missing him during Michael's separation from his family. And despite crashing her Fame or Shame audition, she still prefers him as a father figure over Fabien.
In 1991, Tracey was born to Michael and Amanda De Santa. In 1993, she became an older sister when her brother Jimmy De Santa was born. While Michael was leading a career in bank robbing, Tracey and her family lived in a trailer park somewhere in the Midwest. Tracey and Jimmy became acquainted with Michael's partner-in-crime, Trevor Philips, who promised to hurt anyone who ever wronged Tracey, when she sat on his lap at one point when she was two. In 2004, Michael, fearing for his family's safety and wanting to start over, faked his death during a failed robbery in Ludendorff, North Yankton, and moved his family to Los Santos. During this time, her relationship with her family became strained due to her parents disapproving of her choice of lifestyle (including less than stellar boyfriends and several attempts to make porn) and Jimmy's frequent attempts to demean her.*
