'''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari'') is a ten-year-old [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Twinleaf Town]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}. Her goal is to become a great [[Top Coordinator]] like her [[mother]], [[Johanna]]. Her {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} that she received from [[Professor Rowan]] in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', Dawn revealed the story behind her nickname, '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari''). She explained that she, Kenny, and Leona had been selected as the week's Pokémon caretakers at their kindergarten, and were responsible for looking after the school's pets, {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. While Kenny and Leona cleaned down the pen, Dawn hugged the two {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} tightly and received an electric shock as a result. This caused Dawn's hair to fizz out and sparkle, earning her the nickname "Diamond Dandruff" or "Dee Dee" for short. From then on, many of her classmates called Dawn by this embarrassing nickname. This led to Dawn developing a fear of Plusle and Minun.

Dawn began her [[Pokémon journey]] with an overconfident {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. She wasn't able to gain his trust at first, but after rescuing him from a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}, the two became friends. Unlike {{an|May}}, she knew from the beginning that she wanted to follow in [[Johanna|her mother]]'s footsteps and be a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. After meeting {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, she decided to travel with them, as their experience would likely be helpful to her. Like Ash, she saw a [[Legendary Pokémon]] at the start of her journey, the projected soul of {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]''.

After the competition, Zoey told Dawn that [[Candice]] was throwing a victory party for her in [[Snowpoint City]] and that Dawn was also welcome; however, Dawn declined the invitation, stating that she still wanted to support Ash in his upcoming battle at [[Sunyshore Gym]] and in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. She then thanked all the Pokémon that had traveled with her through Sinnoh for their hard work and pledged to not give up her dream of being a [[Top Coordinator]].

After Ash competed in the [[Sinnoh League]], she contemplated whether or not to go with Ash and Brock to [[Kanto]]. However, she received an invitation by [[Paris]] for her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} to work with her for a short while as a Pokémon fashion model and decided to stay in [[Sinnoh]]. Dawn and Ash later shared a final high-five, their trademark exchange throughout the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, before Ash and Brock left for Kanto.

After Buneary's modeling work with Paris was completed, Dawn decided to spend some time at home before considering her next move on her journey to become Top Coordinator. In [[DPS01]], Dawn decided to go to the [[Hoenn]] region, since Hoenn is the region Contests originated from. However, though she was certain she would take Piplup, she did not know if she should take all of her other Pokémon with her to Hoenn or not. She sought advice from Professor Rowan, who instead sent her to help a new Trainer who was having trouble deciding what her first Pokémon would be. Dawn and [[Shinko]] ran into an {{p|Ariados}}'s web, reminiscent of the first challenge Dawn faced with Piplup. Dawn's Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava in order to protect the two Trainers, and it was then that Dawn realized all of her Pokémon still had the potential to grow with her. She decided to take all her Pokémon to Hoenn with her and soon left on her new adventure with her dream of becoming a Top Coordinator burning as bright as ever.

In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', it was revealed that Dawn had traveled to the [[Unova]] region and was staying in Cynthia's villa in [[Undella Town]] while the {{pkmn|Champion}} was visiting [[Virbank City]]. Dawn later reunited with {{Ash}} and his new friends, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}, whom Dawn met for the first time. She also battled Cilan, using her Piplup against his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, but because the battle was interrupted, no winner was identified. She became a good friend of Iris when they traveled to the [[Deserted Island (BW087)|Onix Island]] in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' and was surprised by the unfamiliar Pokémon native to the Unova region, such as {{p|Foongus}}.

Dawn is notable for her confidence since she almost always tries to look towards the future rather than dwell on her mistakes. In the Japanese version, Dawn's catchphrase is "Daijōbu!", which can be translated as "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 at the beginning of her journey. Because of this, she became emotional after she was eliminated from Pokémon Contests, and often cried after losing. After failing to pass the Performance Stage two times in a row, Dawn became depressed. In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', Dawn remembered these failures and had to excuse herself so she could cry. These behaviors were completely opposite those she had exhibited at the beginning of her journey, something Ash and Brock took notice of. Their encouragement was not enough to renew her psyche though, and it was not until she defeated May to win the [[Wallace Cup]] that she truly regained her confidence and focus. After this point, Dawn took on a more positive and determined personality. In addition, she became more mature. Instead of reverting to her old headstrong and confident attitude, she became more aware of her faults and how she could work to overcome them.

Initially, due to her lack of experience, Dawn had difficulties dealing with her Pokémon properly. For instance, she would often bicker with Piplup and her Pachirisu would hit unwanted targets with its {{m|Discharge}}. Even later on in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, after most of her Pokémon had become obedient, her Mamoswine had a tendency to get angry and disobey her. It was not until ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]'' that Dawn was fully able to manage all of her Pokémon. Despite the many issues she had at first, Dawn always deeply cared for her Pokémon, especially for Piplup.

As a Pokémon Coordinator, Dawn trained her Pokémon for both [[appeal]]s and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. Because of this, she learned to utilize her Pokémon's capabilities creatively. For example, she trained Buneary to use {{m|Ice Beam}} various ways, which proved helpful in the many Pokémon Contests she participated in. She was also able to pull off successful combinations with her Togekiss in the finals of the Grand Festival, despite not having trained it for very long compared to her other Pokémon.
