Character Name; Dawn
Canon; Pokemon Platinum - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Platinum
Canon Point; after entering the Dimension World
Age; mid to late teens, but just going to go with '16'
House; Freya
Power; Charm
Personality; A bright and optimistic teenage girl from tiny Twinleaf Town who is currently traveling through Sinnoh trying to collect all the gym badges, Dawn has a gentle and kind nature; she's very friendly and open to everyone she meets, although she may come across as a bit childish at times, especially when she persists in trying to think the best of everyone. It's with this personality that even the most aloof Pokemon that she catches gradually warms to her; winning them over with time as they share battles and adventures together, she slowly forms close bonds with her team, the closest being with her first Pokemon, Piplup, who has now evolved into Empoleon.
A key factor of Dawn's personality is that she wants to do what's right - when she sees someone in trouble, her automatic response, whether they be human or Pokemon. She doesn't do it in the hope that she'll be rewarded or recognized for her deeds (although it would be nice, she has to admit) but because she holds an almost childlike and ridiculously naïve belief that everyone should help one another to the best of their ability, almost to the point of prioritizing others before herself. She doesn't really think of the danger or harm to herself when she immediately agrees to a little girl begging for Dawn to free her father who'd been taken hostage by Team Galactic. In fact she doesn't even need to be asked, such as noticing two Galactic thugs trying to extort honey from a single man when she was simply passing by and immediately jumped in to defend him - showing that she's either brave or recklessly stupid.
Unfortunately her naivety means she has a hard time detecting any ulterior motives. In a small, sleepy town such as Twinleaf where everyone knows one another, it's hard for Dawn to be suspicious and cautious of strangers. Always going out of her way to stop and talk to anyone on her journey, she fails to recognize Cyrus as a suspicious character despite running into him several times where he would depart after saying something ominous. Shrugging him off and classifying him as simply being 'weird' before continuing on her journey, it was a complete shock to her when she snuck into Team Galactic's HQ and discovered that their leader was none other than Cyrus himself.
Fortunately, she isn't a complete and total idiot - just when it comes to judging character - having been skillful enough in battle to earn six of the needed eight badges. Of course, that could also be attributed to her own stubbornness. Whenever she suffers defeat, she refuses to be discouraged and, after some training and sometimes reshuffling of her team, is soon back on her feet, ready to challenge the gym leader or trainer again. Another quirk of Dawn is her rather enthusiastic and strong curiosity of Pokemon - whenever she sees a strange or unknown creature to her, Dawn's first reaction is to try and attempt to catch it. However, despite that, Pokemon are everything to her - friends, family, partners, and companions that she values as much as her human friends. Even if she does cram them in tiny little balls and force them to battle, but that's beside the point.

Dawn padded silently through the dark hallways, heart pounding as she glanced around surreptitiously to make sure no one was around, ready to bolt into the nearest hiding place. After all, it was after hours and she was a student, so if someone were to catch her-- Well, she wouldn't mind the inevitable detention; it was the deduction of points she was trying to avoid. After all, she wanted her house to win, and it wasn't too late to turn back in fact. No one had found her yet, and if she crept back into her bed and snuggled under the covers, no one would ever know she'd been skulking around after hours.
She was determined, however, that tonight was going to be the night. It was now or never, and in fact, her goal was just in sight. Perking up, heart now pounding in anticipation, Dawn quickened her pace. Her target was seemingly oblivious to her sneaking up on it up to the very moment where she pounced, the ghost-catching bag that she'd been assured was 110% authentic out in her hands--
"I gotcha now, Peeves!"
Later on, Dawn had to explain to the small gaggle of teachers who found her - led by Bidoof who hadn't quite mastered the art of wagging its tail and was wagging its entire bottom instead - how she'd come to be hanging upside down in a public and rather embarrassing place, among other things.
