Dawn (Japanese: ヒカリ Hikari) is the female player character of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The male counterpart is Lucas. If the player chooses Lucas, she will become Rowan's assistant for the game. Dawn lives in Sandgem Town with her little sister, grandfather, and father - who works as an assistant of Professor Rowan. She is already the Professor's assistant at the beginning of the game. She also demonstrates to the player how to capture Pokémon by capturing a wild Bidoof. In Pokémon Platinum, she will also demonstrate how to use the Poké Radar.

Dawn is also a character from the anime who travels with Ash and Brock in Sinnoh. She is modeled after the game character.

Platinum Berlitz from Pokémon Adventures and Mitsumi from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! are based off Dawn's design.

Optional names for Dawn (as player character)

Trivia

• In both English and Japanese, Dawn shares her name with an evolutionary stone. However, it is not the same stone: her Japanese name is the same as the name of the Shiny Stone, not the Dawn Stone.
• After the player defeats the Sinnoh Elite Four and becomes the Champion, Dawn will stay at the front side of Professor Rowan's laboratory in Sandgem Town (if the player chose Lucas). If the player has set the birth date on the DS Settings, she'll say the following in conversation when talked to on that day:

"Is today maybe... Your birthday, (player's name)?"

If "Yes":

"Giggle... Congratulations, (player's name)! And many more happy returns!"

If "No":

"Oh, it isn't? I wonder what made me think that today was your birthday?".

• Upon reaching the Route 207 entrance to Mt. Coronet, Dawn will appear and ask the player to choose her right or left hand. However, no matter which hand the player chooses, the outcome will be the same: the player will receive the Vs. Seeker and Dowsing Machine.
• Dawn is 4'6" (140 cm) tall and weighs 75 lbs (34 kg).
• Dawn and Lucas are asked if they are a couple by Mars during the Lake Verity battle: "So what is it? Are you some lovey-dovey couple to the rescue?"
• Both Lucas's and Dawn's Platinum artwork feature them holding a Repeat Ball. This may be a subtle pun that Platinum "repeats" the adventure in Sinnoh.
• Like how one of Lucas's default names is Satoshi, one of Dawn's in the Japanese version is Satoko. This is the pseudonym Ash uses in the episode Pokémon Scent-sation! to get into the Celadon Gym.
• The majority of her Japanese default names are shared with Leaf and Kotone. She also shares all of Kris's alternate Japanese names.
• She shares her Chinese name with Wally.
