Heroic Sacrifice: The Return puts a new spin on her death - she is The Chosen One and must die as a martyr to help the Black Lodge reign in BOB.Heroic BSoD: She suffers a major one in the prequel film when she finds out (or at least strongly suspects at the time) that BOB is possessing her dad, Leland.Her blonde hair is one of the main attributes demonstrating that she is the most popular girl in town, and she tries to be sweet and wholesome, but she also has a major dark side. Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Played with.Go-Getter Girl: Laura subverts this as we get a glimpse of the darkness behind her seemingly perfect facade.Give Geeks a Chance: Even the timid, mentally fragile shut in Harold Smith managed to get a piece of Laura when they made out and almost had sex in Fire Walk With Me.Dysfunction Junction: Wow does it make sense why she went as wrong as she did.Deadpan Snarker: Has shades of this, but is far less comedic than other examples.She takes the spotlight of the prequel movie, and has her own book, same as Coop. Deuteragonist: Of the series as a whole, right next to Cooper.Darker and Edgier: In the prequel movie, Fire Walk With Me, we see fairly little of her happy, well-adjusted public face.Dark and Troubled Past: For several years before murdering her, at least since her mid-adolescence, Laura's father Leland had been molesting her while possessed by BOB.Cosmic Plaything: If the theory that Laura was designed by The Giant/? to combat BOB by becoming a martyr and setting off a chain of events that lead to BOB's downfall is correct, then the poor girl literally had cosmic beings ensure that she was destined to be molested and killed.The Chosen One: The Return strongly hints that The Giant created her through some sort of indirect immaculate conception to suffer at the hands of BOB and die a martyr, or something similar anyway.Thanks to years of sexual abuse by her demonically possessed father, she ends up filled with self loathing and hatred, descending into drug addiction and prostitution in the process. Broken Bird: The biggest example in the whole series.Berserk Button: Fire Walk With Me shows that even in her darkest moments of apathy and hedonism, the prospect of Donna being corrupted or coming to any sort of harm would bring her back around screaming and fighting.She's filled with nihilism and self-loathing, but nonetheless fights against BOB's attempts to corrupt her. But her sudden murder and the subsequent investigation brings many of the dark secrets surrounding her to light, revealing that behind her pretty, wholesome and seemingly perfect surface she was in reality a severely troubled and lonely young woman deeply embroiled both in Twin Peaks' seedy underbelly as well as the town's more strange and unearthly happenings. The most popular female student and the Homecoming Queen of the Twin Peaks High School, Laura was seen as an exemplary and beloved member of the local community.
