Well consider that most of the opportunities that characters have to reveal depth, is in the confessional or when asked by others. Dawn only has one confessional in the whole season, where she only talks about Scott. Also, she barely appeared in Finders Creepers, so she really only had 4 whole episodes.

Lightning on the other hand, has a confessional at least once an episode pre-merge, and several times post-merge. We never heard anything other than that stuff thrown last minute during the finale.

Besides, isn't handing out depth doing something? Almost all of the characters have an opinion on Dawn. Furthermore, a lot of her fans like her because so little is known about her. Part of her appeal is the mysteriousness that surrounds her.
