Appearance

Ladonna Compson is a rabbit with a tan complexion and brownish-red hair. She wears an olive green shirt, long blue jeans, and white sneakers.

For the winter, she wears a orange winter jacket with black buttons and white lining and has a purple lined green, yellow and purple snow hat with a pair of purple and green snow gloves and a pair of black boots with white buckles. When it comes to other clothes she wears pink pajamas to bed.

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.

Friends

Ladonna gets along with most of the kids at Lakewood Elementary, even the Tough Customers, but many of her friends ignore her after she lies about her life like the bear story. However, Arthur managed to get them to accept her.
