 Though Dawn was at first suspicious of the [[Meer]], who followed the Juka through time to help us fight them, the machine Blackthorn, and Exodus, she eventually became friends with the Meer girl [[Dasha]].  Dasha and Dawn shared the experience of losing their homes.
 Dawn later had the distinct honor of landing the killing blow on the machine [[Blackthorn]] when he and his minions invaded Yew, shortly after the release of the [[Age of Shadows]] expansion.  For her efforts she was rewarded with [[Dawn's Music Box]].  Some state that she was named a "regent" of the realm at some point, but no links from UO's official Internet site could be located to confirm that.
 After these events, Dawn just....vanished from the Britannian stage.

-For the most part, during her "first run," she can fairly be said to have never "caught on" with players, and most of the UO dev team seemed to be annoyed by her.  Thus, her whereabouts were officially unknown for a long time following the Blackthorn attack, until a dev team member once commented off-handedly that she had married and retired quietly to Yew.  And this, though perhaps unintended, became part of Dawn's lore.

-[[Publish 59]] saw Dawn emerging from her self-imposed early retirement to help Britannians fight off the [[Shadowlords]] and depose [[Casca]], the false king.  (See [[Warriors of Destiny]] and [[The Last in Line]].)  She was played in-game by the [[Event Moderators]] of the various [[Shard]]s.  Along with [[Sherry the Mouse]], she was one of the last links to the [[Lord British]] regime.  Casca thus saw her as a threat, and attempted to kill her by burning her house down.  He failed, and Dawn ended up joining, and then leading the gathering resistance against Casca.

 This incarnation of Dawn appeared to have more personality than the earlier incarnation, and can fairly be said to have acquired more of a following among UO's player base.  Her personality change can, storyline-wise, be attributed to her increased age and growth as a person.  She was no longer the young girl we once knew, with few experiences besides training, a few big battles, and a role she was thrust into rather than earned.  Instead, she was a young lady, smarter and shaped by more ordinary life experiences.
