Notatki gracza

Amanda Townley pracuje jako striptizerka w klubie należącym do jej matki na początku lat 90., gdy poznaje rabusia bankowego Michaela Townleya i Trevora Philipsa. Wiąże się z Michaelem, wychodzi za niego i rodzi Jimmy'ego oraz Tracey. Rodzina mieszka w przyczepie na Środkowym Zachodzie, aż Michael w 2004 roku organizuje ucieczkę z agentem FIB Dave'em Nortonem. Amanda zna ten plan, uczestniczy w upozorowanym pogrzebie Michaela po napadzie w Ludendorff i przeprowadza się z dziećmi do Los Santos, gdzie przyjmują nazwisko De Santa.

W Los Santos Amanda wydaje dużo pieniędzy i kłóci się z Michaelem o dzieci oraz rozpad ich małżeństwa. Gdy przyłapuje Michaela ze striptizerką, zaczyna spotykać się z innymi mężczyznami, w tym z trenerem tenisa Kyle'em Chavisem. Franklin Clinton widzi ją po raz pierwszy z Kyle'em, gdy odbiera samochód Jimmy'ego z De Santa Residence. Później Michael zastaje Amandę i Kyle'a w sypialni, po czym rusza za nim wraz z Franklinem. Pościg kończy się zburzeniem niewłaściwego domu przez Michaela i żądaniami Martina Madrazo.

Amanda kłóci się z Michaelem, gdy znajduje on marihuanę Jimmy'ego, a Fabien LaRouche przychodzi na zajęcia jogi. Niespodziewany powrót Trevora przerywa domową awanturę, po czym Trevor i Michael jadą powstrzymać występ Tracey w Fame or Shame. Amandę później zatrzymuje policja za kradzież w sklepie, a Michael może ją odebrać. Kiedy Fabien wraca na kolejne zajęcia, Michael dołącza, źle odczytuje jedną z pozycji, atakuje Fabiena i wpada do basenu. Amanda opuszcza Michaela, zabierając Jimmy'ego i Tracey do Fabiena.

Michael w końcu konfrontuje się z Fabienem i prosi Amandę o powrót. Amanda się zgadza, a rodzina odnajduje Tracey, po czym idzie na spotkanie z Dr. Isiah Friedlanderem. W gabinecie terapeuty nadal się kłócą, lecz Amanda wraca z Michaelem, Jimmym i Tracey do De Santa Residence. Z rodziną uczestniczy w premierze Meltdown, filmu Michaela. Amanda pozostaje przy życiu w Los Santos do The Time's Come, nadal jest żoną Michaela i mieszka z rodziną w De Santa Residence.

Ciekawostki

◆She may be inspired by Carmela Soprano, a character from the HBO crime drama The Sopranos, due to her husband seeing a psychiatrist and her being involved in numerous affairs. Her GTA Online appearance also resembles Carmela.
◆The number plate for Amanda's Sentinel is 'KRYST4L'. 'KRYST4L' is leet-speak for 'Krystal', which was Amanda's stripper name.
◆Amanda appears to have a drinking problem, and also appears to be a kleptomaniac.
◆While switching back to Michael, there is a chance he'll walk in on Amanda in their bedroom while she's masturbating; she'll throw away a dildo, saying she thought the door was locked, and goes to sleep. If the player is playing as Trevor/Franklin and sneaks into the house and catch her on the act, they can see her continuing with the masturbation.
◆Amanda's favorite radio stations are most likely Space 103.2 and The Lowdown 91.1, as they are the default radio stations of her Sentinel.
◆Despite the fact that she uses Michael's affairs as ammunition in her arguments with him, she herself has had affairs with Fabien LaRouche, Kyle Chavis, a juice seller, a dog-walker, Jimmy's third grade teacher, a rubbish collector, Michael's proctologist, Carlos, Jesse, and Andy Moon. She, Jimmy, and Tracey all refer to these liaisons quite casually in the mission Reuniting the Family.
◆On the Hush Smush website, the player has the possibility of running into a page with a user dubbed foxymama21 that very clearly indicates that it is her, even though it is never explicitly said. In her description, she indicates that she "has the mind and body of a girl half [her] age" (she is 43, according to her info), but her husband ignores her and he spends his time drinking by the pool, and is looking for someone to satisfy her in her "prime". It also mentions that she loves yoga.
◆Looking through the game files of the PC version, an unused image for foxymama21 reveals that she is Amanda. This also implies that she owns an iFruit phone.
◆Trevor and Amanda's dialogue, when playing tennis at the house, indicates they might have been friends, before Michael's "death".
◆When playing as Franklin and/or Trevor and the player injures Michael; or if playing as Michael followed by getting knocked out by either Franklin and/or Trevor for stalking, Amanda will sometimes text either of the two on Michael's behalf in an infuriated manner.
◆During an activity with Michael, if the player gets drunk, Amanda will say she liked one of his old friends. A shocked Michael will then exclaim "Trevor?", but Amanda will respond "No, the other one", most likely refers to Brad Snider.
◆During an activity with Michael, Amanda will mention to him that her mother was right about him. He will retort with that Amanda's mother put her daughters on stage at the strip joint and was a manipulative pimp.
◆During an activity with Michael, Amanda tells him that she wishes to teach yoga and tennis to the homeless, a heavily edited dream that she only settles on after Michael scoffs at simply teaching the activities, commenting that there are "far too many" of both in Los Santos already.
◆If Franklin or Trevor steals Amanda's Sentinel, Michael will text one of two things, either: "Amanda knows you have her car, and she is on the warpath." or "Piss me off, man. But you do NOT want to get on the wrong side of Amanda."
◆In The Diamond Casino Heist update for Grand Theft Auto Online, Jimmy mentions that Amanda is creeped out by Lester Crest.
◆In The Contract update for Grand Theft Auto Online, Amanda is indirectly referenced by Franklin to the when he says that some rich people's wives may be having affairs with their tennis coach.
