Scooby Scorecard: Dawn

From E! Online - September 28th, 2001

Where We Left Her: It wasn't a stellar year for Dawn. First, there was her cosmic "Key" status, apparent only to giant snakes and zombies. Then her mom's death prompted a distraught Dawn to make a botched attempt at bringing her back. Finally, when it came time to leap off the sacrificial tower, big sis Buffy beat her to the jump. And you thought your high school years were rough.

Where She's Going: "Dawn's life is going to be real normal," jokes Joss Whedon. Well, as normal as you can get in bloodstained Sunnydale. With Buffy out of the picture, Dawn has to drag a clueless Buffy Bot around town to ensure no one, including their dad, realizes the real deal is gone and Dawn is alone in the world. Word is she also gets help from Willow and Tara when the witchy women bunk up at the Summers house.
