Biography
Dominique first appears in the 15th episode of Trigun, Demon's Eye. She is assigned to kill Vash the Stampede by Legato. Dominique accepts the mission without hesitation, and is confident she will be able to take down Vash. She first approaches Vash by sneaking up on him, telling him he's naive, and that she would've been able to kill him 3 different times if she had wanted to. Just then, 3 of Vash's coat buttons fall off of his jacket. The two then begin discussing their beliefs on whether it is or isn't acceptable to take the life of another. Finally, the conversation ends with Vash stating she was the one being careless, and that he could have "groped" her four times. The top four buttons of Dominique's shirt then bust open. Unimpressed by Vash's trick, the two begin battle.

Vash pleads her to reconsider fighting her, as he fears hurting her. Dominique doesn't listen, and begins her attack. Using her demon eye ability, she appears next to Vash and starts shooting. Vash just barely makes it out of the way, confused at how he was unable to see her movements. Just as Vash tries to get up, Dominique appears behind him once again, and starts shooting. Just like before, Vash barely manages to dodge. The pattern continues like this a couple more times, then Vash suddenly comes up with a plan. Vash defeats her by placing pressure on a wound (which he received earlier, from a girl who slammed his finger in a door), allowing him to avoid focusing on her eye. Dominique, convinced his plan won't work, charges is for another attack. This time, with Vash being aware of her movements, shoots her demon eye cover, knocking her back in to the wall. Unable to accept defeat just yet, she tries to charge him once again, but Vash sees her and points his gun at her before she can shoot him.

Vash then tells her to go, seeing no need for more people to die. Dominique runs away, letting Vash know their battle isn't over yet. While running away, she runs into Midvalley The Hornfreak. It is unknown what happens to her after that. She is then killed alongside with Monev the Gale and impaled on a wall as a display by E. G. Mine in his challenge to Vash.
