Ladonna Ravenscroft is the great niece of Lydia Ravenscroft. Her mother, Leianne was Lydia's eldest sister who had moved to Paris years before. She returned with her daughter and after she passed, Ladonna remained in town. She has one daughter of her own, Larissa, who is a successful and powerful business woman in New York.

Ladonna appears to be a kind and nurturing woman, but in reality she is fiercely cunning and always seems to know what everyone in town is up to. Long ago, Amadeus Stillwater found out that her greatest weakness is her vanity.
