- —LaShawndra, about Gordon
LaShawndra Dawkins is a survivor found at The Dark Bean at a quarter to 7am on the first day in Dead Rising 2. She is described by Chuck Greene as a "'big-boned' woman in yellow" when speaking to Gordon. She reappears in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record with the same role.

LaShawndra is found standing on top of a counter at The Dark Bean in the Royal Flush Plaza, surrounded by a small crowd of zombies. She does not appear frightened by the zombies, instead she is quite upset over the fact that her husband ran off. She complains "what kind of man leaves a beautiful woman like [her] out here alone?". She tells Chuck that if her husband Gordon stayed with her, she could have saved his "skinny ass".
Chuck convinces the woman that he will help her find Gordon and so she joins his party. After they find Gordon, the couple reunite and make up LaShawndra smacks Gordon for running off. Chuck interrupts the couple and reminds them of the Safe House, in which they follow him to the air vent and wait in the safety of the shelter.

Trivia[]
- Sometimes, after she hugs Gordon when meeting, LaShawndra will punch Gordon and apologize afterwards. This doesn't always happen, however.
- If both LaShawndra and Gordon are with Chuck and Gordon dies, LaShawndra will immediately defect.
- LaShawndra and Gordon are the easiest survivors to get back to the safe house, as their location is closer to the safe house more so than any other survivors in the game, which means that there are also very little zombies that surround them too.
- LaShawndra has the same face model as Regina Dee from Case West.
