Dawn was a wonderful character, who always told the truth - unless it came to pinching things. She was fearless but compassionate and although the whiny teenage screaming was annoying it was also pretty much how teenage girls can be. I didn't like how she had to be sort of 'bitty Buffy' as Spike said, b.c. she didn't have to follow in big sis' footsteps and love vampires. She was hated for no reason I can see, really, but to each their own as I always say. I loved how excited she was when Tara and Willow reunited, she was just so adorable in that moment.
