LaFawnduh Lucas-Dynamite is Kip Dynamite's lover and wife. She is portrayed by Shondrella Avery.
Personality[]
LaFawnduh is seen as sort of seductive with a city background. Her looks also made Kip change the way he looked and acted, though she did not force him to do this, he did this of his own free will to impress her. Lafawnduh is a very kind and gentle person who is often seen smiling. She is also interested in hip-hop, makeup, fashion and dresses very feminine. She marries Kip in the end.
Background[]
LaFawnduh is originally from Detroit. She met Kip through an online chatroom, where he was "talking to hot babes all day". She sent him pictures of herself, though only of her face, not a full body shot which had Kip "really kind of "TO'd". Kip would send her his poetry. Unfortunately, Kip lived in Preston Idaho, but using Kip's money from his door-to-door salesman business, and presumably some of her own, she took a bus to Idaho to meet Kip.
Kip and LaFawnduh became very close immediately. Kip also underwent a change, becoming more urban and outspoken to compliment LaFawnduh's character. This was a change from his quiet and shy earlier persona.
At the end of the movie Kip goes back to Detroit with LaFawnduh, where they stayed together for an unknown amount of time.
Eventually, Kip and LaFawnduh get married, (this scene is past the closing credits). This is about two months after the events of Napoleon Dynamite. There we meet her family. One family member, presumably her brother, seems confused with her choice of marrying Kip.
Trivia[]
- Oddly, LaFawnduh does not appear or is even mentioned in the TV series, even though Kip had married her. Kip appears in the TV series just as he did before he met LaFawnduh, without his "street" clothes and with his wimpiness. Jared Hess has stated that the series takes place before the marriage, but after Pedro's election.
