User blog comment:Apologyy/Rant: Dawn in ROTI/@comment-27329394-20150209002324

I find Dawn vastly overrated because I think people overestimate how much potential there is in her character.

To me, Dawn is a character that seems to be made for fanfictions. Everything about her mysteriousness is clearly provoked, and with her really weird traits like being talked to animals and being able to read auras, it’s more of the same really – we know what makes her stand out but not everything about her because there seems to just be too much to cover. Therefore, is it really a bad thing that she was not on the show that much when she has still achieved popularity? This lets this character be subject to a wider range of interpretations.

As unique as she is, I was fine with her not getting very far in the season. I feel like Dawn would get repetitive after a while, since she already kinda was starting to fall into that after a few episodes. I think the depth people see in her is deceptive, because some of her traits seem somewhat common for characters that are not seen very much in shows. Some of this blog actually does relate to this. Yes, she could have told the cast about Scott, but why her? Someone else could have done this, so it is not the lack of Dawn's utilization that caused Scott's continuous plan to stay in motion.

That being said, I don’t really care either way about Dawn. Everything I just talked about doesn't really interest me and the lack of a plot prevents me from forming a real opinion on her.
