Biography[]
As a kid, Sora idolized Dr. LaRow, and had a portrait of her in her bedroom. After winning a science fair with her Photacs invention, Sora was brought to the Advanced Systems Lab to work for Sora. At first, Sora was ecstatic, but upon learning that Imperium gets its energy from draining dragons of their energy, Sora turned against Dr. LaRow, but not before the scientist got her hands on Sora's Photac. Later Dr. LaRow called Sora's parents causing them to turn against their own daughter.
When Ras approached Dr. LaRow asking for an update, she stated how weird Dorama is but he was the only one able to help as he knew more than anyone on exploiting exotic energy. With Ras asking if Dorama would be able to activate the Photac, Dr. LaRow was unsure until threatened by Ras Dr. LaRow told Ras that Dorama may be able to activate one Photac but the clones can only be activated by Sora.
Later, after Sora escape to Ninjago following the merge, Dr. LaRow helped devise a plan to lure Sora back to Imperium to force her to create more Photacs. Upon Sora's arrival, she was captured, and upon seeing Dr. LaRow drain a dragon of its energy, Sora reluctantly helped create more Photacs. As Dr. LaRow watched and gazed upon the beauty of the Photacs as they fought aganist dragons as she watched through a screen, Dr. LaRow was knocked unconscious allowing Sora and Zanth to escape.
A bit after Sora escaped, Dr. LaRow and Jordana found Arin and Sora trying to free Riyu and kept them captive. Only for Arin to attack Dr. LaRow causing her to lose her weapon and instantly Dr. LaRow pleaded not to be harmed. With Jordana attacking Arin and Sora, Dr. LaRow took the opportunity to run out of the Imperium Palace and told Ras of the news. Ras was enraged and choked Dr. LaRow stating that she had one job before dropping her on the ground. Soon, Sora was able to disable the Photacs in the process foiling Dr. LaRow's ambitions.
Later, she told Beatrix that the amount of Dragon Energy in Imperium is decreasing and suggested the Empress to lower the usage of energy. However, Beatrix refused telling Dr. LaRow that she wants her people happy and content and people who aren't are more difficult to rule blaming the fault on the Ninja.
When Beatrix hearing about the Dragon Cores, she sent Dr. LaRow after one of them which was in the Land of Lost Things. Arriving at the Land of Lost Things, she saw her former pupil Sora telling the former pupil that she wasn't surprised to see her here due to the fact that the Land of Lost Things are used for broken experiments and telling Sora that she may fit that description. After a battle with Sora and some resistance from the Finders she managed to snatch the core from them. But not before electrocuting Geo causing him to fall before getting caught by Cole. Successfully getting away she approached Imperium, telling Beatrix of the success.
Back in Imperium, Dr. LaRow, Jordana, Rapton, and Dorama were ordered to the throne room by Beatrix. Beatrix announced all the dragon cores has been successfully collected and it was the ultimate plan of finishing the MergeQuake Weapon. When Beatrix asked Dr. LaRow if she knew what it meant for her, she told Beatrix that it was time to prepare on testing the MergeQuake Weapon telling Beatrix that they may be able to test the weapon in a few days. Hearing this, Beatrix opposed this decision due to the fact that the Ninja are on the way to Imperium. Despite warnings from Dr. LaRow on the fact that it could lead to some terrible results, Beatrix did not care and announced that everything that the Ninja treasures will be gone today. While testing the MergeQuake Weapon, the weapon failed to work and caused an explosion damaging the Advanced Systems Lab. When Beatrix asked why Dr. LaRow told them that the weapon was ready for testing, Dr. LaRow told Beatrix that she warned her earlier about the dangers of testing the MergeQuake Weapon in such early notice. Even with this explanation, Beatrix was infuriated and told Dr. LaRow she was a failure before leaving the lab. Soon later after Beatrix came back into the lab, Dr. LaRow told that the reason the MergeQuake Weapon failed to work was because the core that Rapton brought was a fake and it was the reason why it caused the explosion in the first place. With Beatrix expressing her concerns that the Ninja has reached and entered Imperium and needed the weapon to work, Dr. LaRow told Beatrix that it was not possible for the weapon to work without the three authentic dragon cores. Beatrix quickly disagreed telling Dr. LaRow that they have the resources to make a custom one. Dr. LaRow quickly opposed the idea stating that it could may do more damage than the explosion from earlier and may even destroy Imperium as a whole. Beatrix was infuriated stating on how Dr. LaRow would defy her order, Jordana hearing this volunteered to drain the Source Dragon to make a core which Beatrix agreed to much to Dr. LaRow's dismay.
During the process where Jordana had to drain the Source Dragon, the machine failed after trying to drain the dragon energy of the Source Dragon. Dr. LaRow approached Jordana telling that she warned her beforehand and stating the fact of wanting to compete with Sora is extremely pathetic due to the fact that Sora didn't even know who Jordana is. Jordana hearing this, ordered Imperium Guards to take Dr. LaRow away only for Dr. LaRow telling Jordana that it can't be done before getting taken away by the guards. It is unknown what happened to her afterwards.
