Character Information: wiki

Personality: A bright teenage girl who dreams of becoming the Pokemon Champion, Dawn is a sweet, gentle, and painfully naive soul. While she's very friendly and open to everyone she meets, she can seem rather childish when she continually insists in trying to think the best of everyone. Someone would have to be blatantly acting mustache-twirling evil for her to consider them a terrible human being.

Dawn also has the tendency of jumping into trouble headfirst without really thinking of the consequences. Whenever she sees someone in trouble, her first response is always to help, whether they be human or Pokemon or something else altogether. She doesn't do it for a reward or recognition for her deeds (although the praise certainly does feel pretty good) but because she firmly holds a childlike and ridiculously naive belief that everyone should help each other. It's almost to the point of prioritizing others before herself.

Unfortunately her naivety means she has a hard time detecting any ulterior motives. In a small, sleepy town such as Twinleaf where she grew up knowing everyone on a first name basis, it's hard for Dawn to be suspicious and cautious of strangers. She failed to register Cyrus as suspicious during their initial meeting and just shrugged him off as simply being 'weird' before continuing on her journey. It came as a complete shock to her when she snuck into Team Galactic's HQ and discovered that their leader was none other than that weird guy who was going off on a monologue at complete, total strangers.

But contrary to first impressions, she's actually not a total idiot - just only when it comes to judging character. She's skilled enough to have won all eight gym badges of Sinnoh and to defeat the Elite 4 along with the Sinnoh champion, in addition to navigating and figuring out how to pass through the natural mazes and puzzles in the wild. Dawn just immediately trusts everyone unless they've proven otherwise, and even then she'd still be willing to give them a second chance. Or a third chance. And why not throw in a fourth chance, while she's at it?

Of course, that could also be attributed to her own stubbornness. When she wants something - whether it's winning a gym battle, a Pokemon, or even just to be a friend - she'll refuse to give up. If she needs to, she'll throw herself over and over again at the obstacle in question until she finally reaches her goal. That stubbornness can also backfire on her, since she can quite easily get in over her head and not realize until it's too late.
