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!". In 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 one of Ash's friends to get the most character development. | Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she is always looking towards the future rather than dwelling on her mistakes.

She began her journey with | She began her journey with {{an|Piplup}} and knew from the beginning that she wanted to be a [[Coordinator]]. After meeting Ash and Brock, she decided to journey with them, as their experience would likely be helpful to her. Like Ash, she is lucky enough to have seen a [[legendary Pokémon]] at the start of her journey, the projected soul of {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]''. She lost her first contest in [[Arrival of a Rival]] and ended up getting support from her mother who told her to rely on her friends. Eventually, in her [[DP027|second offical contest]], Dawn narrowly beat [[Kenny]] to gain her first ribbon. | ||
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|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. 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 two childhood friends that appeared in the anime, {{si|Kenny}} and [[Leona]], both of which call her sometimes '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari''). Dawn has prevented them from telling Ash and Brock about the reason why she has this nickname. She seems to be closer to Leona than to Kenny. Kenny functions as a rival for Dawn alongside [[Zoey]]. Zoey also functions as a semi-mentor to Dawn and helped her recover from her [[DP061|second loss]]. All three are competing for their first time in the regional contests. Leona however, challenges [[Gyms]] | She has two childhood friends that appeared in the anime, {{si|Kenny}} and [[Leona]], both of which call her sometimes '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari'').

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.

Every time she's going to be on camera, she needs to take a moment to brush her hair before going on. In [[DP086]], she demonstrated an unknown talent for designing, sketching many different dresses for the [[Hearthome Collection]], though she rejected all of them. | ||
She had a [[bicycle]], but like [[Misty]]'s and {{an|May}}'s bikes, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} destroyed it with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, she did not mention this to Ash until over 30 episodes after it happened. Johanna gave Dawn one of her old [[ribbon]]s from her days as a coordinator as a gift for luck. She also had a large suitcase full of dresses, but her mother made her leave it at home due to its impracticality. She also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the Sinnoh region. | She had a [[bicycle]], but like [[Misty]]'s and {{an|May}}'s bikes, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} destroyed it with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
