Why does the article say she is of Dominican-Colombian descent? Colombian descent might be justified by her links to the Cartel in GTA III, but why Dominican? It would be more likely that she is of Mexican descent, given that she is Cesar's cousin, and Cesar is indeed of Mexican descent.

I noticed that too. Blame it on Criterion Renderware, the rendering engine that powers Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. According to GameSpot article, I quote the following:
"Furthermore, Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis shows that RAGE is capable of both impressive graphics and physics, two areas that drew fire from GTA detractors."
From that quotes, it sounds like Criterion Renderware has serious flaws in both graphics and physics for which RAGE (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine). I'm assuming the "graphics" applies to avatars as well... not sure if we call it "avatars" or something else... since "avatars" seems to be more frequently used in virtual communities but not in gaming community/industry....? *shrugs* --Legion 20:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Nationality

Why does the article say she is of Dominican-Colombian descent? Colombian descent might be justified by her links to the Cartel in GTA III, but why Dominican? It would be more likely that she is of Mexican descent, given that she is Cesar's cousin, and Cesar is indeed of Mexican descent. --Elwey333 21:08, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Surname

Is her surname exactly "Vialpando"? I don't know about south american family, but "cousin" not always mean blood cousinship. Mr.Korean 15:42, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Only antagonist in the GTA series to show up in more than one game

She and Salvatore Leone are co-holders of this title. Ghost Leader (talk|edits) 02:25, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Ghost Leader, aren't you forgetting Billy Grey? Haha, he also makes an appearence in The Ballad of Gay Tony. Also Lance Vance and Ricardo Diaz appear in Vice City Stories. At one point they both become antagonists in Vice City. Grand Theft AJ (talk|edits) 07:53, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
