Amanda's character transformation (V Story mode vs Online)
I was shocked by this transformation. R* giving her this mu h development was unexpected. We assumed Michael's marriage was over but it appears to be a 180° turn.
Notable changes in "Amanda De Santa"
Appearance: She has blonde hair now and dresses moderately. The print of aging is clear.
Behavior:
1) More affectionate towards Michael.
2) More caring towards Michael. (Michael's validation is worth something to her now as she seeks it. Also, unlike the story mode, the "me-you" mentality has transformed to a "we" mentality. The cigar room interaction is a nice example of that.)
3) Protective about Michael: Well, she always loved Michael, and there is no doubt about it. In the cut-scene you can see how she pulls Michael away from slandering Mr. Faber and people like him. As we know, Michael's temper causes trouble.
4) Integrity: This might be the most impressive one. She doesn't act flirty with us neither with half naked Faber. Instead she seemed uncomfortable by the inappropriate dressing of Faber.
