Georgina Cheng (Traditional Chinese: 陳·喬治娜, Simplified Chinese: 陈·乔治娜) is a character appearing in Grand Theft Auto Online as the tritagonist of The Diamond Casino Heist update.
History[]
Background[]
Sometime before 2019, Georgina became the Vice President of Cheng Family Holdings based in Hong Kong, China. She is the daughter of Wei Cheng (the leader of the Los Santos Triads), the younger sister of Tao Cheng, and either the younger or older sister of an unnamed brother. The extent of Georgina's involvement in the Los Santos Triads is unknown, as she seems to strictly confine her involvement to Cheng Family Holdings, the legitimate holding company of the Cheng Family. Georgina completed her undergraduate degree at an unnamed university in London and her master's degree at Vespucci University. Judging by her English accent, she likely spent much of her formative life in the United Kingdom before attending university there. According to her personal assistant, Huang, she was voted the "eighty-ninth best dressed lady in China".
Events of Grand Theft Auto Online[]
After Tao Cheng is forced to sell The Diamond Casino & Resort to the Duggan Crime Family and returns to Hong Kong in 2019, Georgina flies to Los Santos and arranges a meeting between herself, Lester and the protagonist in Mirror Park by hacking their phones. She approaches them and persuades Lester into planning the Diamond Casino Heist as revenge against the Duggans for taking advantage of her brother.
Later on, she shows up at the arcade center purchased by the protagonist to hear Lester's plan, as well as proposing her own, although she eventually reveals that she wants to invite Lester to the Richman Hotel to "have some food and discuss it all". After the arcade center is up and running, Georgina shows up once more to hear Lester's plans and approaches to the heist, and she tells the crew she will be staying at the Richman Hotel until the heist is pulled off and they should contact her if they need anything. However, Georgina is called back to mainland China on the day the heist is executed, and therefore misses the action, but she returns to Los Santos just in time to personally thank the crew for successfully pulling off the heist. As the crew celebrates, Georgina and Lester share a kiss, marking the beginning of their romantic relationship.
As Lester and Georgina continue their relationship after the heist, he keeps the promise of robbing the Diamond Casino every week by texting the protagonist whenever the Vault's stocked up again, allowing the player to replay the heist with different approaches on subsequent attempts. Later on, a picture can be seen of Lester and Georgina hanging out at the Del Perro Pier, with Lester having won a stuffed animal from one of the carnival games for her.
Personality and Traits[]
In stark contrast to her brother Tao, Georgina acts professionally and friendly towards the people she works with, probably owing to her position as Vice President of the Cheng Family Holdings, the family's legal front. Despite her calm and collected personality, she is not above keeping grudges by asking Lester and the protagonist to pull off the heist on her behalf "as a favor". Despite her main career as the family's business representative, she is an expert hacker, arguably on a higher level than Lester, as she claims to have cloned his phone in just five minutes. It is heavily implied throughout the heist that Georgina took an interest in Lester well before their first meeting, as she claims him to be exactly what she had imagined. During the arcade setup, Georgina begins flirting with Lester and insists he address her by her first name. Georgina's advances on Lester proved to be effective as Lester is found uncharacteristically dressed up and stuttering while in her presence.
Georgina is shown to express gratitude; despite having been called back to the mainland the day of the heist, she goes out of her own way by returning to Los Santos to congratulate Lester and the protagonist for their success.
