What about adding something about her ability to read texts in foreign languages? Jonas Viper 21:40, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
The arrival of Dawn Summers is a metaphor for adopted children. It was foreshadowed in cryptic dream sequences in seasons three and four. Faith said to Buffy in Graduation Day, Part Two, "Look at you, all dressed up in big sister’s clothes."
I don't think this had anything to do with Dawn's foreshadowing, partly because this wasn't a part of any dream sequence or prophecy, it was the dialogue just before Faith and Buffy had there big final battle of season three. I believe that has more to do with Faith and Buffy's relationship.PhoenixPrince 12:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm not familiar with that comment. When was it said?PhoenixPrince 12:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I believe the comment was 'Little Miss Muffet counting down from 730.' Little Miss Muffet is Dawn (notice how the crazy guy in 'Real Me' called her Curds and Whey.) 730 is 365x2, meaning the two years between seasons 3 and 5. (Although the time between this comment and Dawn's arrival is only just over a year, if the seasons are each roughly a year long.
Whedon states on the "spotlight on Dawn" special feature on the season five disc 6 dvd, that the little miss muffet 730 comment is "two years to the day" foreshadowing Dawn. 84.69.165.188 01:22, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Although it seems more likely that she would be going to Berkeley City College, what's the source that she's going there rather than to UC Berkeley? Theshibboleth 00:04, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Have just written frickin loads in the character history section. I think I may have been a bit long-winded and irrelevant, but her history just looked so bare and neglected that I felt I had to write something. Other pages that seem a little skinny are Tara and Giles. Compared to the length of Buffy, Spike, Angel, and Faith's pages, it just seems like people don't care about them as much.
Also, may have let my own fondness for the character seep into it. Somebody should proofread it and edit out any affection. It's just so hard not to! I can't help but get a bit opinionated while writing about these characters. Somebody please go through it and cut out the BS.
I also think the "Dawn and the gang" section needs serious work and organisation. Any thoughts? How about treating it like a romantic relationship section, only on her friendships. Eg, Spike, Tara, Willow, Xander etc, etc.
Also, how about a quote list? Dawn had some great one-liners. Paul730 03:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Can somebody find a picture of Giant Dawn? Preferably the cover to Buffy #4, if that's okay.
Thanks. She's such a moody cow in that pic! lol Paul730 22:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
The length of this article is much better, but it badly needs sources and references aside from the actual show. Think of it this way: If a character is not notable enough to be mentioned in mainstream press, then they're not notable enough for their own Wikipedia article, and instead should be limited to a paragraph on a "List of characters" somewhere. If they are notable enough for mainstream press mentions, then please add links to those articles here at Wikipedia. For more info, please see WP:V and WP:N. WP:FICTION is also a good resource, thanks. --Elonka 20:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Ok, maybe I'm old and going a bit deaf - but I'm willing to swear in any court of law you'd care to mention, that Spike's nickname for Dawn was "Li'l bit", not "niblet". The Creeping Spleen 19:07, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
He's also been known to call her bitty Buffy. I can't remember any others, but at least those four. I think lil bit and Nibblet are the ones he seems to use the most. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flootzavut (talk • contribs) 13:40, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Since monks created her human form from an energy state does she in fact have a soul? She isn't created in a normal way. Her memories aren't real and are implanted. The definition of a soul is "the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal". So the conclusion is she cannot have a soul because she wasn't born and everything about her is artificial. She may have a human body and real DNA, but that just means she is a blank slate.

This section makes absolutely no sense to me. I have seen all of buffy, but still can not make head nor tail of it. Perhaps someone who does could clarify what it actually refers to. if it is just a description of one event from an episode, then why does it belong here, what is it's larger significance? --Brideshead (talk) 12:06, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I see over and over again online references suggesting a dark-haired extra during Xander's dream sequence in Season 4's "Restless" as being Michelle Trachenberg before being cast as Dawn. It makes for an interesting story of a happy accident, but I haven't found anything official to corroborate recently. Yet, I could swear I once heard in a commentary on one of the DVDs something to confirm the coincidence. Is that something that might warrant being added as a BTS trivia section for this article? Medleystudios72 (talk) 08:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
My search for confirmation has continued. In watching the commentary for "Real Me," I noticed it was mentioned that Dawn was in "Restless," but that could easily be a mistake or a metaphorical reference. I'll keep looking...
Medleystudios72 (talk) 13:07, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
I haven't heard the commentary, so I can't speak to that or if she did actually appear, but she is mentioned in Restless. A Dream-Tara quote (At least, I'm pretty sure it's Dream-Tara, the whole episode was a bit trippy and kinda blurs together) "Be back before [the] Dawn" JBK405 (talk) 05:49, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Longwaycover07.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

She has the distinction of being the only character, barring Buffy, Willow and characters who only appeared in the last season, to appear in every episode after her debut.
...is that really a distinction when you have to bar that many things? It doesn't really make sense to me to have that sentence in there. 96.238.115.21 (talk) 04:49, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
The "Literature" section of the article states that Buffy walked in on Xander and Dawn kissing in the Season 8 comic "Predators and Prey," but the correct volume is actually "Retreat." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saraqael (talk • contribs) 00:14, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
