Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she is always looking towards the future rather than dwelling on her mistakes, although she has learned that this is not always enough. She is emotional and often cried in the beginning of her journey. Sometimes, to overcome her mistakes, she blames others though she usually afterwards confesses about her faults. In some of the contests, Dawn used to become nervous at the time she was to appear on the stage though it became scarce in further contests as she was used to them and was relatively more confident than before. In the starting, Dawn wasn't much good at finding how her Pokémon's health was though as she moved on on her journey, she became better at this. In the Japanese version, her catchphrase is, "{{tt|Daijōbu!|'It's fine!' or 'Don't worry!'}}" Although not consistently translated in the English dub at first, she began to regularly use "No need to worry!". In stark contrast to {{an|May}}'s inexperience and self-doubt at the start of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Dawn was overly confident and assured in her own strength in the beginning. She was able to regain her confidence herself after small losses like failing to catch a Pokémon but losing a contest meant too much to her though she was able to overcome this misery of her's as she continued in her journey.

She is also emotional and often cried in the beginning of her journey. At the start, Dawn wasn't much good at finding how her Pokémon's health was though as she moved on on her journey, she became better at this. She is very devoted to her goal as she trains her pokemon regularly to win for her upcoming contest. But after her two losing streak in the appealing round, she lost her confidence and became unusually nervous to even holding her pokeball and combing her hair during the Wallace Cup. However, she has overcame this after defeating {{an|May}} and regain her confidence and focus.


Over the course of her journey in Sinnoh, Dawn was able to come up with various combinations to show up her Pokémon's looks and strength. This began with something as simple as making her Piplup's beak grow longer, when using {{m|Peck}}, a combination she used even until the end of the Grand Festival. She later followed with simple spinning, a technique her Piplup and Buneary practiced for a while in [[Oreburgh City]]. The way it was used was adapted by Ash in his first Gym battle in Sinnoh.

Later on, Dawn began with more complex combinations, such as Flame Ice and Ice Chandelier, moves that were both powerful and beautiful. After a lot of practice, Dawn's Pokémon were able to master these combinations in battle. Coincidentally, both of these were used to defeat [[Ursula]].

Dawn is very different than Ash's {{ashfr|other friends}}. Dawn has more concern about her appearance, as 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. However, she has recently been seen sleeping outside with the others, such as in ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]''. She keeps up to date with fashion and popular trends such as the Pokétch. Every time she's going to be on camera, she needs to take a moment to brush her hair before going on, such as in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''. Sometimes, when she gets nervous, she is unable to do the simplest of the things like combing her hair and holding a Poké Ball.

In ''[[DP070|The Bells Are Singing!]]'', Dawn revealed that she was the one to design {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s vest (but also admitted that her mother was the one to sew it). In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', she demonstrated her talent for designing again, sketching many different dresses for the [[Hearthome Collection]], though she rejected all of them.
