  • I remember playing through the game and thinking only that she was a hillbilly, and not using 'African American lingo' (as GP politically calls it) like they're suggesting.
    She's a violent child who lives in a cave (with it's own shack) in the middle of nowhere, and attacks railways for fun.


    If anything it's a cry for Child Services' involvement instead of the politically-correct brigade.
