History[]
Background[]
Adriana is something of a mother to Luis' close friends Armando Torres and Henrique Bardas. Her ex-husband joined the Marine Corps, then ran out on her while two of her children went off to start families. She constantly tells Luis to go back to school and leave behind the guns, drugs, and money-fueled nightclub life, but when Luis gives her the money that comes with it, she doesn't hesitate to accept it, making her something of a hypocrite.
Events of The Ballad of Gay Tony[]
During the cutscene of the mission Clocking Off, Luis confronts her about her hypocrisy, to which she hopelessly responds "What choice do I have? I lost my job!", to which Luis replies with "Then call one of your other kids for money. The ones you ain't ashamed of." These words leave her feeling guilty after Luis leaves the house.
Personality[]
She is shown to be rather naïve, as Armando, now a drug dealer, has her convinced that he is going to college (as she wants Luis to do) and, as Luis tells Mori Kibbutz during Kibbutz Number One, she once lost a great deal of money in an investment scam. She believes that Mr. Santo (a loan shark who lent her money to keep her home) is a "nice man" after he subtly threatens to burn her apartment down, and forces Luis to go back to cage fighting to repay her debt.
Luis' mother does love her children, though she can be hard on Luis. Similar to Tony Montana's mother from Scarface, both are ashamed of their sons criminal past. However, she does feel guilty when her son criticize her for her behavior and calls her out on her hypocrisy.
