## Biography

### Life in Louisiana

Before Ladonna came to Elwood City, she lived in Louisiana. She states that she "once caught a crab as big as a pizza". "Based on a True Story" At her old school, she took a public speaking class and was pretty good at it. "Speak Up, Francine!" Once while playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey at her neighbors' house, she walked blindfolded out the front door and pinned the tail on a real donkey owned by her neighbors. Luckily for her, it was not a real pin. "Waiting for Snow" Due to a tuna sandwich in her pocket (which she had forgotten about, since her jacket smelled funny anyway), she once found a cat that had been lost for seven weeks. "Pets and Pests"

### Elwood City

Ladonna and her family drove for 16 hours on their move to Elwood City. She met Arthur and D.W. when they visited her new house, which is four houses down the block from theirs. She quickly became friends with her classmates due to her storytelling ability, and everyone wanted to hang out with her. Eventually, she ran out of stories to tell and was caught when she made up one. After showing Arthur the details of a recent true story, she was able to regain her friends' trust. "Based on a True Story"

Ladonna helped Bud and D.W. understand the court system through a comic she was reading: *Habeas Canine: Legal Beagle*. She later served on the jury at the court trial of Compson vs. Tibble. "Read and Flumberghast"

She later visited the Sugar Bowl "Buster's Book Battle" and watched the school's annual Arithmattack competition. "Brain's Biggest Blunder"

When Fern couldn't think of any new ideas for Muffy's Fiction Forum, Ladonna told her stories about her Aunt Mable and Uncle Silas. Fern copied the plots and changed the names, upsetting Ladonna. In response, Ladonna wrote a story about "Ferg" stealing "Ladella's" stories, which made Fern realize her wrongdoing. "Fern and the Case of the Stolen Story" The two have since made up.

Muffy invited Ladonna to her house for a potluck when Francine was attempting to be a vegetarian. While she did not technically bring meat, per Muffy's orders, Ladonna did bring a dish of collard greens which had been simmered in duck fat for 3 hours. She left in a hurry to "finish a book report". "Sue Ellen Vegges Out"

She attended The Wiegel-Bandolik Dog Show with her mother. "Show Off"

She and Arthur teamed up to make a shoe box diorama based on the expeditions of Annie Smith Peck. Ladonna convinced Bud and D.W. to explore the Reads' backyard so the two could leave their older siblings alone to work on the project, but her plan backfired when D.W. and Bud decided to camp overnight in the backyard. However, due to becoming hooked on a TV show, Ladonna accidentally left Bud and D.W. unattended for most of the evening. Fortunately, they were still safe and sound when she and Arthur checked on them. "Adventures in Budylon"

In the fall, Ladonna planned to make a Gourd Person, pick apples, bake a pie, and rake leaves, all on the same day. Unfortunately, she had planned too many things at once and messed up most of her goals. The following day, she decided to ignore any previously-scheduled events so she could take a walk with Arthur. "Ladonna Compson: Party Animal"

Around Earth Day, she helped train Francine to give a public speech. Eventually, she instead agreed to read Francine's speech for her. However, the papers were lost and Ladonna had not memorized the speech herself, so Francine presented her speech after all. "Speak Up, Francine!"

Near the end of winter, Ladonna bought skis and a sled in anticipation of a blizzard and lots of snow. However, there was not enough snow to cover the ground. Arthur and Buster tried to cheer her up with fake snow made of soap bubbles, but she saw through the trick right away. Though she appreciated the effort, it just was not the same. She checked the weather on the internet and found it to be sunny for the next week. At long last, there was plenty of snow one day. Ladonna skied, sledded, and made snow angels. "Waiting for Snow"

When the Read family was dealing with a wild mouse loose in their house, Ladonna visited to show Arthur her pet albino rat, General Higgins. Seeing the general made D.W. change her mind about rodents. "Pets and Pests"

Ladonna made a list to see how many of her classmates liked her. She was able to confirm everyone on her list in one day, except for George. She had trouble getting him to like her, even after she wrote a song and did a dance for him. George felt offended that Ladonna only paid attention to him so she could cross his name off of a list. Ladonna apologizes to George, and they talk the puppet she made at school. "Ladonna's Like List"
