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 Clinton (née Jackson) is a minor character appearing in Grand Theft Auto V. In Grand Theft Auto Online, she eventually becomes Franklin Clinton's wife.

History[]

Background[]

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

Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]

Because of Franklin's gang lifestyle and because of the recent death of her brother, who was involved in gangs, Franklin and Tanisha separated prior to the events of Grand Theft Auto V. Over the course of the story, Franklin converses with Tanisha via email and phone calls, attempting to win her back, but she rebuffs him each time.

At one point after the mission Marriage Counseling, she also stops by his house to explain her need for a more stable man in her life, and through that, start a family. In the mission Lamar Down, she arrives at Franklin's new house to inform him of her imminent marriage to a doctor named Jayden (in the mission Franklin and Lamar, Lamar brings up the fact that he's a brain surgeon). She also reveals to Franklin that Stretch has set Lamar up to be killed by the Ballas and asks Franklin to save him. At the end of the storyline, regardless of which ending the player chooses, Tanisha calls Franklin to inform him about her wedding the following day. Franklin accepts this and wishes Tanisha the best.

Events of Grand Theft Auto Online[]

While Tanisha does not physically appear in GTA Online, it is implied that her marriage to Jayden ended in divorce, after which she rekindled her relationship with Franklin some time between 2013 and 2021. She eventually married Franklin and moved to his Vinewood Hills mansion where they started their family. A red Pfister Astron with the license plate "TAN1SHA" can be found parked in Franklin's driveway. The Agency Security Guard calls her "Mrs. Clinton" in random idle dialogue in the F. Clinton and Partner Agency.

In Security Contract: Vagos Captains, Franklin mentions their children go to the same school as the ones of the CEO of Go Loco Railroad, indicating that at most, they are school-aged, and suggests they attend a school that befits their parents' social status.

In Security Contract: Triad Lieutenants, Franklin relates how Tanisha recently met the wife of a major importer at a party. Her husband's business was being severely undercut by the Los Santos Triads, to which Tanisha apparently explained that F. Clinton and Partner could resolve the situation. The importer's wife then passed on her contract request through Tanisha to Franklin.

Character[]

Personality[]

As seen in Lamar Down, Tanisha is hypocritical, as she criticizes Franklin willing to give up his old life and friends in pursuit of a luxurious life (the reason why they broke up in the first place) when she has done exactly the same, even marrying a rich doctor. She even comments about how happy she is with her new life on his Lifeinvader page. Unlike Franklin however, she sought a legitimate way of life instead of resorting to criminal means. Continuing to show her hypocrisy, she berates Franklin for his recklessness and for acting crazy, despite previously asking him to go save Lamar, which required Franklin to charge into a saw mill and kill several people; something that Tanisha would likely consider to be reckless and crazy.

It is suggested that Tanisha has accepted Franklin's chosen line of work (at least the upscale version of it), even relaying possible opportunities to Franklin as they come.

During Franklin and Lamar's recent exploits, Franklin implies that Tanisha does not like it when he smokes weed, especially in the house.
