LaVonne was a runaway who became the girlfriend of Price, a gun dealer for Tony Dracon. When he became behind in his payments to Dracon, Glasses and another man of Dracon's came to collect when they visited the nightclub "Sacrilege."
When they tried to abduct Price and LaVonne, Price tried to escape and was shot dead by the other man working for Dracon. LaVonne was kidnapped in tears and turned over to Owen Burnett, who in turn took her to Dr. Phobos for use as a human test subject.
Phobos used her in "Project Nosferatu," which was designed to create a vampire-like creature that would be attractive to gargoyles. She was mutated into a bat-winged vampire, but the process put her into a death-like state. She was thought dead, and was about to be dumped in the sea when she "awoke to a new un-life," killed the man who was going to dump her, and drank his blood. Realizing that she now had the power to gain revenge for herself and Price, she began a bloody campaign of revenge, killing those responsible for her current condition.
When she saw Broadway save Beth Maza from three thugs, her latent desires for gargoyle blood (programmed into her by Phobos) took over and she was drawn to him. Broadway was attracted to her as well, and they went on a date. The next night, Broadway took her to meet the rest of the clan, and Brooklyn and Lexington were attracted to her as well, and the Trio fought over her. As they fought, LaVonne saved a teenage boy who slipped and fell off a bridge, but barely resisted the urge to drink his blood. Realizing what jerks they were being, Brooklyn and Lexington left LaVonne and Broadway alone. But as sunrise neared, LaVonne could no longer resist her desire for gargoyle blood and attacked Broadway, begging him to stop her by killing her, as Broadway was the only one who hadn't treated her like dirt in her life. The sun rose, and Broadway turned to stone with LaVonne held tightly in his arms. The pair plummeted into a greenhouse- leaving behind a stone Broadway holding the charred skeleton of LaVonne. Broadway mourned her death greatly. Thus ended the tragic tale of LaVonne.
LaVonne could fly with her bat-like wings. She also had superhuman strength making her an near-equal with Broadway. She had a thirst for blood, particularly gargoyle blood, and she needed to drink some every night or die. A side effect of this was that she also absorbed snippets of her victim's memories and knowledge. She also got vertigo from one of her victims. She was also vulnerable to direct sunlight like a true vampire, and that is what killed her.
