Dawn is a Pokémon Trainer and a playable character from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. She is a fan favorite and the focus of many fanworks. She also makes appearances in Pokémon Masters.
While she does have a counterpart in the Pokémon Anime also named Dawn, and a counterpart in Pokéspe named Platinum Berlitz, these characters are distinct enough for their own articles.
The Pokémon she is most associated with are Piplup and Mesprit.
