Lana Gray/Character Arc

## Character Arc

Lana Gray found herself back in the city where she was born in, wanting to follow in her parents' footsteps, started out by getting a secretary position within the Department of Motor Vehicles. Finding new faces, and friends while working there, she met Jessie "Nova" Gallagah, who was already a well-mannered deputy within the city, the two got to talking. This was where she met Salena Bishop that encouraged her to move on to greener pastures, or the least a minimum of being paid for her services. The two of them moved onward, or at least in their eyes to the Cluckin' Bell, Gray took on a leadership position and took on the hiring role for the company.

 She took advantage and jumped at the chance for a ride-a-long with her newly found friend Jessie and she found herself on the force shortly after. From fast pace car chases to hiding in graves to catch grave robbers, Lana Gray hit the ground running. She was involved in the first murder case of the city, where multiple attempts to rob an armored truck. They were making their run through the city, picking up drops from local business. The day ended where a tow truck driver ended commandeering the armored truck and dumped up at the Land Act Dam up in the Tataviam Mountains; which resulted in multiple officers hurt, including Deputy Gray and an armed guard by the name of Adam "Thunder" Fart loosing his life. One of the first major sting operations, where multiple officers staked out Zancudo Gran Growers because they had information about a drug operation out of Paleto Bay. This operation was being run by Sgt Lily Pond, and it resulted in a Ketamine Drug Bust that ended in a six-hour bench trial where the culprits' tried to argue that their car was stolen and drugs were placed in it while they were at the Paleto Clothing Store.

 New Year's Eve, Sally, Baker, Gray and Tinker all went to the New Years Party in Legion Square dressed as *'Bob's Angels'* where they all had fun shooting fireworks and having a photoshoot. The girls were dressed up a *'Bob's Angels.'* The night ended with Hanna Baker asking Lana out officially and the two had a photo shot that was quickly put on paused so that Lana could talk to Nova about how she wanted to break off, well, whatever relationship that could have been between the two of them. Their relationship was always an odd one, Lana had deep feelings for Nova but was told multiple times that she would end up ruining her, and she didn't feel like ruining a good thing.
The next few days were a blur full of patrols with Bishop, Tinker, and Baker. Full of government officials causing a muck of the state, and it took Baker, a run for her money. She asked Lana if she would like to take the day off the next day and relax, especially since the two of them haven't taken an official day off in weeks. The two ended up taking a trip up to Mount Chiliad, and with a photograph, that took the evening and had another photography session.

Hanna and Gray found out how profitable the taxi business could be by opening their *'Two Girls One Cab'* company where between the two of them on their day off made over 2700 dollars. There were even criminal threats made to towards them for stealing over cabs fares, pissing off quite a few people, such as Moe Wat, who called into 311 to ask if a crime of passion concerned murder. The two of them accidentally got good intel, just by driving people around Los Santos.

Lana awoke to very worrying texts from both Sally and Hanna, about how Hanna was sorry and needed to talk, while Salena was saying to have her rein in her girl. The three of them met at Mount Zonah. Where Sally ran up to her, to let her know that it, that there were some things that she had noticed that if Tinker did, she'd be upset, being the friend she was, she to ensure that Hanna spoke to her first and there was no lying. Lana and Hanna spoke, and she brushed it off, after hearing that she hugged Candice Defitt with her shirt off, among other things.

That next day, Grey and Hanna had a big, dramatic talk near the Lighthouse. Hanna had committed even more actions with another officer of the Los Santos Police Department called Candice Defitt, where Hanna apparently reciprocated. Which Lana had told Hanna to do better to have her, in which the conversation ended with them. Lana drove away and said that is what she had said for today. Lana needed breathing space and room.

Lana received quite a few texts from Hanna, to meet her back up at the Lighthouse, where, when she arrived, she found Hanna and Candice Defitt getting out of the ocean and a Sergeant Bloom running up to her to expert his disgust with what he was hearing for the last hour. Lana was over Hanna's excuses and just hear with to self-destruct on her own. In which Lana Grey told Hanna, she was done with her and broke up with her at the Lighthouse. Grey got into her vehicle and drove away, Hanna has told Lana Grey, she chooses her and wants to be with her. Though still proactively falling for Candice Defitt, she wants Love over Lust. Lana doesn't wish to give her the time of day currently. She even texted Salena to see if she was able to stay with her and Tinker.

After an emotional turmoil filled week, Lana had a sit down with Candice DeFitt over the transgression between Hanna Baker only to find out that there was even more to the story that Hanna failed to tell her. A long emotional talk on the hillside across the from the Sandy Shores Airfield between Lana and Hanna that led to a long adventure back up to their old spot on of Mount Chiliad. Conversations did not go in Brooklyn favorite, even nature wasn't on her side as she fell off the side of the mountain, breaking her ankle to the point where bone broke. Gray called up Salena Bishop to see if she could get EMS out to them. Fast-forward through the night, Lana and Hanna broke off their relationship, this left the two to a bit in pieces.

Sally, Tinker and Skylar took it upon themselves to cheer Lana up and give her a healthy distraction. Their night involved taking over Bahama Mamas and heading back to the throuple's apartment. There were talks of nonsense and things that truly didn't matter. Sally's night ended at the apartment while Tinker had to run out and help with a few things. This left Skylar and Lana alone to their own devices, the two of them headed up to Sandy because Skylar wanted to show off her new apartment. The two of them laid on Skylar's bed for hours just listening to music and just existing. They had long heart to hearts about their experience with Jessie "Nova" Gallagah, and started to bond.

Lana still very much cares for Brooklyn Baker and has had quite few talks with her about how she's worth being cared for. Hanna is currently on a self-reflection to find herself again, to see if she could be better for those she cares about, Lana wanted her to understand that she'd still be there for her.

During the *'Girlies Night'* up at one of the fancy Vinewood mansions, where women of all walks of life came to party. Moose Maple was there, in his *girly pop form, Macey Maple.* Where Dr. Quimbley Hayabusa medically prescribed him Tea Corner. This was due to his past brain injuries, and apparently hearing the tea helps make him feel better. Moose and Skylar have this running joke *(unsure if he knows it to be a joke)* that Skylar is in love with him. For the most part, the party went swimmingly. Lana and Skylar were enjoying their time together, not paying much attention to what was around them. Later on, during the party, Moose, Lana, Skylar, and a few others were over towards the grassy area of the mansions' backyard when Skylar slipped into Lana, causing Moose to fall on the ground. This causes a bit of goofy chaos where others jokingly started to stumble into each others. During the commotion, Moose was taken down by one of them and Moose seem to hit his head on the ground quite hard.

Unknowing of the severity of Moose's injuries, Skylar was quick to recommend EMS, knowing full well, since she was drinking, she wouldn't be able to help. At this time, Lana was already back at the pool, and one of the others took him over to Dr. Q for help until EMS arrives. It is unsure where the last woman went. Skylar returned to Lana's side, and they continued to wade in the pool listening to music. It wasn't until much later when Lana noticed Moose being recitation by Dr. Q that his injury was quick more than what they thought.

One EMS arrived, the two followed it back to Mount Zonah for updates on their sassy friend Moose, in which he had apparently *ANOTHER* brain surgery, as Lana and Skylar watched from the viewing room of the operating table helpless. Lana, freaking out, jokingly suggested that *"Tahiti is looking good this time of year."* After the two of them knew he was *somewhat* stable, they left him for the doctors to take care of him. This may have calmed their minds a little, but they were terrified about accidentally killing Moose, even if it was an accident.

With hopes to slowing down her currently chaotic life, Lana was whisked away by Skylar to meetup with Salena and Tinker to help with their engagement photos, in which, once again unconventionally, they wanted the maid of honors to join in. Back at the Richman Mansion, wedding preparations were in full swing and Salena and Tinker, left Lana and Skylar alone to help decorate the venue. The two of them had a true, heart-to-heart how they both care for each other, but Lana asked that she wanted to be more than just a plus one in her ever-growing dynamic with Skylar.

Especially since these past few crazy days, had been a breath of fresh air from the chaos that Lana left behind dealing with Brooklyn Baker and Candice DeFitt. Skylar was something else, and she'd always cared for Sally as well. The Throuple discussed, the more pros than cons of Lana joining their partnership. Skylar asked Lana, *"Will you be OUR girlfriend?"* in which she happily said yes. Skylar and Lana's shared a special, intimate connection, a moment that was warmly embraced by Sally and Tinker, who watched, and joined in afterward… Lana's addition to the group was seamless, transforming the throuple into a loving and supportive quadruple.

Results of the Engagement Photos:

Now that this new relationship between the four of them had blossomed, it was now time for Lana to focus down on work, especially since this last week, for the lack of a better term, ruined her. During the Los Santos Police Department morning shift meeting, she was quickly called into a meeting by Sergeant Louis Bloom. Sergeant Sloan Morgan invited herself to listen in on the meeting, since Lana was now a part of the Los Santos Police Department. Their conversation was over the incident that happened at the Ladies Night. During the conversation, Sergeant Orabelle Winchester joined in to speak to the others about the Humane Labs issues, and then asked to be let in on the issue dealing with Moose Maple. Sgt Bloom was asked to mediate the conversation between Lana and Moose.

Once Moose arrived, They discussed the possible punishments involved, and how Moose will be suing them for lost wages. Maple asked that an IA investigation would be made to ensure situations like this are properly dealt with. He also told Lana that he believe that the three of them *(Skylar and Lana)* are still his friends, but being friends, he *(as in Moose)* would have told the complete truth. There were talks of an internal punishment for Lana, and pending investigation, Sgt Bloom might charge them with Obstruction, which is a felony. After their conversation, they brought Lana back into the meeting room to discuss further.
