She wears a mini vest revealing her ample cleavage and midriff with a high cut red skirt revealing her hips as well. She wears purple light brown boots with purple star designs on them. In some cut-scenes, she can be seen wearing a necklace bearing the star of David and a very small black bra.
Biography[]
Varla accompanied G and Isaac Washington with the intention of avenging her younger brother Jasper Guns, whom Papa Caesar used.
By the end of the fifth chapter, she was kidnapped by Caesar and taken to the police compound.
At the end of the sixth chapter, she was shown tied up in an electric chair and then taken down an elevator by the true mastermind: prison warden Clement Darling. Later on, it is revealed that her still-living brain had been taken out of her body and placed in a jar by Clement while he had put his elderly mother's brain in Varla's body. From this moment on, Varla remained silent as she was unable to do anything, although Clement's mother claimed that "she's alive too. What's left of her."
In the end, she was taken to an escape helicopter by G where he tells her that "Varla Guns, if you can hear me, I'd like you to know I think you're the most beautiful woman I've met." (a saying that Isaac finds wrong).
Afterwards, her fate remains unknown.
