Dawn



Overweight but attractive teenage girl seen as a background character in Daria, and part of Daria's year. She never speaks and always wears a set of headphones with a cord that one assumes is connected to a Walkman, even during a lesson - and it's tolerated by teachers.

Most of her appearances shown her on her own, with the same vaguely contented expression; she appears to be an introverted loner, but not bothered about this. She was several times seen in the company of Angel though, indicating the two are friends. In "The New Kid", she was a member of the Yearbook staff, and in "Is It Fall Yet?" she helps pack on DeMartino's class. She had the supreme misfortune to be present when Jane found out Daria had kissed Tom in "Dye! Dye! My Darling", and looked upset at the sight.

She was based on a former MTV staffer called Dawn, who went on to join the police force. She seems to have been popular with MTV's animators as a result, clocking up a number of appearances and two Alter Egos.

The character's 'official' name is "Girl Teen Six", as per the Oh, the Obscurity! flipbook on MTV's website

Dawn in fanfiction
Dawn had rarely appeared in fanfiction at all, up until early 2011: The Excellent S then put her in the Lawndale Fighting Championship series as a formidable and crowd-favourite pro wrestler, as well as giving her a surname (Harris).
