Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto broke the color barrier when one of the games was headlined by Carl "CJ" Johnson, who returns home to Los Santos from Liberty City after his mother's murder in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
being one of the first playable black characters headlining in the gta franchise.
Other games have used different ethnic groups like Chinese and Latino but now i think its time to break the gender line. If the gta franchise has taught us anything its that women can be criminals just as much as men can. Several notable female criminals have even played big parts in the games. Now there should be a female protagonist.
