Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she is always looking towards the future rather than dwelling on her mistakes. In the Japanese version, she often says, "{{tt|Daijōbu!|'It's fine!' or 'It'll be alright!'}}" Although not consistently translated in the English dub at first, she began to regularly use "No need to worry!". She is a stark contrast to {{an|May}}'s inexperience and self-doubt at the start of the [[Advanced Generation series]]. Dawn is perhaps overly confident and assured in her own strength. Dawn is the one of Ash's friends to get the most development, character-wise. | Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she is always looking towards the future rather than dwelling on her mistakes.

She has a [[Contest Pass]] for the Sinnoh region. In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'', when she competed in the [[Hearthome City]] {{pkmn|Contest}}, she lost in the Appeal Round, making her the first of the main characters to drop out of a contest by losing the appeal round. In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she lost the Appeal Round for second time in a row. This was a big turn around in Dawn's character. Previously, she had only occasionally been seen training for contests. After this second blow to her self-esteem, she didn't know what to do and was still very upset throughout ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. After this, she began to become more focused and regained her confidence after battling Maylene in [[DP067]]. Dawn began to practice in earnest and eventually was able to break her losing streak in [[DP079]] and was able to win the [[Wallace Cup]] after narrowly defeating {{an|May}} in the final round. Dawn has since maintained her newfound focus and humility. | She has a [[Contest Pass]] for the Sinnoh region.

Dawn has more concern about her appearance than Ash's other female friends. She will not show herself to Ash or Brock until she feels that her appearance is perfect. That may be a reason why she decides to sleep inside a tent while the others sleep outside. Every time she's going to be on camera, she needs to take a moment to brush her hair before going on. | Dawn has more concern about her appearance than Ash's other female friends.
