Augusta is, in her first appearances, a woman without face. Armed of long nails of a bursting red and of Breeze, a doberman decorated with a collar of diamonds, she makes Joe Perkins coming to the Lockridges mansion for some manual work. But very quickly, she will be able to lead him to her room, benefitting from the absence of her husband, Lionel, who travels around the world. Her fixings with her mother-in-law, Minx, who lives with her, are legendary. Queen of intrigues, she succeeds in pulling herself through all the most compromising situations due to blackmailing, her favorite game, especially towards Peter Flint.

Augusta seems cold and sometimes without heart, but, at the time of the earthquake which strikes Santa Barbara in 1984, she is blocked up in a pit with Lionel during long hours and finally exposes clairly their relationship, painfully ruling her accounts with him.

Victim after that of the caving in of the tunnel between the Capwells and Lockridges' mansions, she suffers of temporary blindness. She only finds comfort with Frank Armsted, the milkman, actually hired in that purpose by Lionel. Learning the return of Sophia, her former rival in the heart of her husband, Augusta decides to leave the town at the arm of her new lover, Joseph, not without having prepared a request for divorce.

She will join Santa Barbara again a few years later, in November 1988, for  the wedding of her sister Julia with Mason Capwell. She whereas discovers that the Lockridge mansion had been repurchased by Gina DeMott and transformed into a hotel ! Spending most of her time to incite Julia to abandon Mason she has finally not married, Augusta prefers to go away after a few months and a short love-affair with T.J. Daniels.

She finally does her real come-back only in 1990 by revealing her secret : she meanwhile married Anthony Tonell, the dangerous mafioso who tried to kill the half of the inhabitants of the town, of which Cruz Castillo himself. Following the death of her husband, Augusta who lives at the moment in Las Vegas, hires a professional killer to kill Robert Barr as quickly as possible. Because Augusta will inherit from the totality of the possessions of her late husband at the only condition that Robert does not appear at the reading of Anthony's will. Unfortunately for Augusta, in spite of the killer's efforts, Robert attends the reading of the will, and Augusta inherits only from a house in Palm Springs and from a 50 000 dollar payment per year up to her death. Augusta then repurchases the remainders of the Lockridges mansion, which was devastated by a fire. Even she is suspected by Lionel to be responsable of Tonell's death due to some anonymous letters accusing her of murder, she quietly goes out of it.

But the troubles start when, one fine day, Mason Capwell discovers that Warren Lockridge, Augusta and Lionel's presumed son, is in fact the fruit of a extra-marital affair of Augusta. Even if she obtains the promise that the secret will be well kept, the lie ends up bursting. Despaired and rejected by her son, Augusta takes then refuge in alcohol. Without force, she finally agrees to go to a center of detoxication from where she will never be seen going away...
