personality, Growing up without the necessary love from her parent, Dawn never knew what it felt like to belong, or even wanted. She is introverted and doesn't talk much unless she is spoken to first. Whenever someone does attempt at a conversation with her, she is awkward with her words, and has a problem with rambling. She gets nervous easy, and because of her father, she is also extremely distrusting. Despite her shy emotions towards society, the small amount of temper sometimes gets the better of her. When this happens she doesn't know what to do with herself since she was never taught of the proper ways of dealing with any emotions. When she can't figure out a way to rid the anger, it quickly turns into anxiety, making her pace and become short of breath. She is awkward when dealing with people, and feels like she was born in the wrong body. Dawn has a small, strange phobia of mirrors; disliking her appearance so much as to actually fearing her own reflection, claiming that her own appearance is a stranger to her. In her solitary life, Dawn is often found to be alone outside of town either depressed and full of self-loathing, or drunk.
history, Dawn's mother died while giving birth, leaving the young baby in the hands of Henry Karlton, a factory worker who spends most of his annual salary at the local pub. Not knowing how to raise a baby alone, Henry often left Dawn in the care of the nearest neighbor, often 'forgetting' her there for days at a time. He didn't start including her in his life until she was old enough to take care of herself. It wasn't until she was 12 when he fully became active in her life, and Henry had his moments where he at least tried to be a good father, but in his own awkwardness he stumbled his way out of any help she needed from him, and often did he drown out the rest of her teenage life drinking.
Ever since Dawn was old enough to think for herself, she automatically saw the wrong in her father's actions. Though, without her completely understanding the way socializing works, she had no way to go about in helping her father regain his long-lost composure. Because of her lack of social skills, Dawn was the subject of harshness from the classmates of school life. She withdrew herself from social activities, often fearing the rude remarks and accusing stares. She was not active in any sports or childhood games, and instead she resorted to a drawing pad and pencil. In her homemade book, the pages were filled with grotesque images, and when they weren't filled with guts and gore, there were sketches of wolf packs.
Now out of school, Dawn occupies her time walking on the outside of town, often swiping a bottle of her fathers whiskey and getting herself hammered just to forget the pain in her life. When she wasn't smashed, she would sit and wait patiently for any signs or beautiful wildlife, wolves especially, and when finding some she would observe and draw. This was her regular hobby, and occupied her thoughts away from the broken-hearted house she refused to call home.
