Dawn was born 'Dawn Winteroak' into the family
of Helen Winteroak, the Ambassador-at-Large for
the Highlands of Afon. As the youngest daughter
in a diplomat's house, she had spent most of her life
traveling from one planet or colony to the next,
always traveling. When her family is brutally killed
it is her uncle Llewellyn who not only comes to her
rescue but also adopts her into his own young
family.
At fourteen years of age, Dawn is like many young
teenagers: curious about the world and eager to try
and understand it all. Unlike her peers, however,
she has two things that make her unique. First, and
most oviously, she has a solid black coat and black
hair. Not a stripe, spot or rosette to be seen. Just
plain plain plain... As if her fur coat wasn't enough,
there is one more thing that makes her so very
different from all the others: she has wings! Oh, what
will everyone say when they find out about that!
