Friend of Laura Palmer and co-worker at the perfume counter at Horne’s Department Store. She did ads with Laura for Fleshworld magazine after Laura talked her into it. She and Laura partied often with Leo and Jacques, both partaking of alcohol and drugs in large amounts. Ronette survived the night Laura was killed. She suffered from exposure after making her way on of the woods on foot and was taken to Calhoun Memorial Hospital. Ronette fell into a coma for a little over week. When she came out of the coma, she was able to help Cooper by identifying through a sketch the man who attacked her in the train car where Laura was killed.
