Private Carrera
Private Carrera is a fictional female skater which appears in several Tony Hawk's games.
Appearance
Private Carrera is a secret character featured in the original games up to THPS3. According to the original game info, she is from Fort Worth and her age is "barely legal". She usually appears in a white top and green bottom clothes. In THPS2 she also had her second outfit where she had a bathing suit on - a tan top and a green bikini bottom.
Origin
As told by Tony Hawk, Private Carrera was proposed by a certain Neversoft employee and that the name "Carrera" is actually a reference to the Porsche 911 Carrera sports car, not a porn actress.[1] However, the designs for the skateboards, and the bio for Private Carrera point towards being one.
In fact this character is based on Asia Carrera porn star indeed. Silvio Poretta says: "Officer Carrera, is she the pornstar? Carrera something... She came to the office one day and wanted some money because we used the name Officer Carrera. Maybe she was pissed because she’s Carrera and everybody knew her. We were like, we can’t pay you, but we can put you in the game, so we put her in THPS 2. I remember her coming to the office and everybody wanting to take a photo with her."[2]
THPS2 Bio
"Originally from Roswell, NM, army brat Private Carrera is ready for action. If it's hard... like skateboarding... she's on it! Creator of such classic skate moves as the Ho Ho-Ho and Somi Spin, Carrera is always ready for some stiff competition."
