Tanisha Jackson

"I love you and Lamar, we grew up together but this life ain't for me, and you knew that, you ain't changing."

- Tanisha to Franklin Clinton about Lamar Davis.

Tanisha Jackson is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto V. She shares her surname with her voice actor, although this may be a coincidence.

Tanisha is the ex-girlfriend of Franklin Clinton. Because of Franklin's gang lifestyle and because of the recent passing of her brother who was involved in gangs, the two broke up shortly prior to the events of Grand Theft Auto V. She, Franklin and Lamar Davis all grew up together. Over the course of the story, Franklin converses with Tanisha via email and phone calls, attempting to win her back, but is rebuffed each time. At one point early in the game, she also stops by his house to explain her need for a more stable man in her life. Towards the end of the game, she arrives at Franklin's new house to inform him of her imminent marriage to a doctor named Jayden. She also reveals to Franklin that Stretch is setting up Lamar and she asks Franklin to save him. At the end of the storyline, Tanisha calls Franklin to inform him about her wedding (that happens the day after she calls him), to which he accepts this fact and wishes her the best.

Backround
Tanisha grew up in South Los Santos together with Franklin and Lamar Davis. She also attended the same high school as them, as mentioned in the mission Chop.

Trivia

 * Her atitude in the cutscene from Lamar Down is somewhat hypocritical since she criticizes Franklin for leaving his old life (which is why they broke up) and friends behind for a luxury life when she has done exactly the same marrying a rich doctor. She even comments how happy she is with her new life in his Lifeinvader page.
