Stefanie: The Leonida Correctional Counselor

Stefanie has the historic honor of being the first person to speak in the official trailer with which Rockstar Games presented Grand Theft Auto VI to the world in December 2023.

Sitting at her desk in a correctional institution in the state of Leonida, Stefanie interrogates a Lucia dressed in standard inmate overalls, marking the dramatic starting point of the game.


1. Her Role in the Plot
