Amanda De Santa (previously known as Amanda Townley) is the wife of Michael, and the mother of Jimmy and Tracey. She is played by Vicki Van Tassel. During the early days of Amanda's marriage with Michael, she was a stripper, and she was once very close to her husband. Their relationship became shaky following her family's placement in a witness protection program after Michael was involved in the North Ludendorff heist. During the events of the game, it becomes evident that Amanda and Michael do not get along. The two are constantly arguing with each other, and can never seem to agree on anything. It is even revealed that Amanda has been having an affair with her tennis coach, and likely others. Following many of Michael's crazy decisions and actions, Amanda and her children decide to move out and she begins dating her self-absorbed yoga teacher Fabien, only to realize that she truly loves Michael. Amanda later suggests that the family take a counselling session, which erupts into a massive shouting match between Amanda and Michael. Despite this, Amanda acknowledges that she found the experience "cathartic," and that nobody will ever understand their family like they understand each other. The family subsequently move back in with Michael and it is shown that their relationship is finally beginning to improve.
