Denise Clinton

Denise Clinton is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto V.

Denise is Franklin Clinton's aunt. She and Franklin are co-owners of the house that acts as Franklin's first safehouse; however, the two have a tense, occasionally volatile relationship.

Character
Denise and Franklin live together in a house in East Los Santos; however, she views him as lacking ambition and wants him to move out. Denise has a very cold relationship with Franklin; she refers to him as the "one mistake" her sister ever made.

She identifies as a feminist, and is seen on multiple occasions leading "spirit walks" with her friends, which involves chanting feminist phrases during cardio exercise. She is known to hold feminist group meetings at the house; after Franklin moves into the Vinewood Hills house bought for him by Lester Crest, she asks Franklin for permission to turn the old house into a women's center, which Franklin can forcefully deny.

Trivia

 * Denise in GTA V is similar to Denise Robinson, who was CJ's first girlfriend in GTA San Andreas. As heard by Franklin in the second mission of GTA V, she is "addicted to sex", much like Denise (from GTA San Andreas) who was a prostitute. However, that is likely just a coincidence and it is unlikely they are the same person because GTA V is set in a different continuity to the 3D Universe, although there are some people such as Lazlow and Fernando who have indeed crossed over to the HD Universe and often do reference their past from the 3D Universe.
 * Denise originally had a different appearance which can be seen in Franklin's character trailer. Her original appearance had her with a different hairstyle, glasses and a green hoodie representing the Families.
 * On her Lifeinvader page, Denise posts, "No wonder I never get a second date with that boy [Franklin] walking in every time I have a man home for coffee.", a reference to the controversial Hot Coffee mod for GTA San Andreas.
