rereading lucia's bio and the phrasing is doing something specific

her dad taught her to fight as soon as she could walk. she went to prison for fighting for her family. she wants the good life her mother has been dreaming of since liberty city.

three sentences and every single one is about someone else. dad taught her, family got her locked up, mother has the dream. nowhere in her official bio does it say what lucia wants for herself

that is either lazy writing or it is the entire point and i know which one im betting on

yeah thats the bit. if it was just her id say marketing. both of them phrased the same way is a choice

That is a genuinely sharp reading and it had not occurred to me. Her bio is entirely relational and Jason's is entirely about circumstance. Neither of them is given a want of their own in the official text.

her dad taught her to fight as soon as she could walk is such a florida sentence and i say that with love

Worth noting the Liberty City reference in her mother's line. That is the only connective tissue to a previous game in either bio and it is doing a lot of quiet work.

Rockstar bios are written to sell, not to characterise, so I would be a little careful. But the pattern across both of them being the same is harder to write off.

reading way too much into marketing copy but I respect the effort
