Ladonna is very outgoing and adventurous, and she loves to tell stories. She likes to take walks and explore Elwood City, although she's only been there for a short amount of time.

Ladonna Compson is a girl from New Orleans,[4] Louisiana who moved to Elwood City. She was a third grader in Mr. Ratburn's class before she and her family moved to Oregon. She tells many interesting stories about her family.

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 shoebox 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. 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"

Personality

Ladonna is very outgoing and adventurous, and she loves to tell stories. She likes to take walks and explore Elwood City, although she's only been there for a short amount of time. However, she sometimes lacks confidence and doesn't think she's exciting or interesting, which caused her to lie about some parts of her life in Louisiana. She loves exploring in the woods. Sometimes when she becomes overexcited, she makes a high-pitched screech.[5]

Relationships

However, Arthur managed to get them to accept her. In "Ladonna's Like List", she shows that every one of her classmates is friends with her.
