Fictional biography


Dawn is the goddess of birth and rebirth.[3][1] She is immortal, immune to gunfire, and capable of traveling to various dimensions and planes of reality.[4]

Dawn is shown in many different facets, shapes, sizes, and colors; her appearance depending on who is viewing her.[4] She is generally depicted as a young, red-haired woman with three "tears" running from her left eye (and one running from her right eye, which is usually hidden by her long hair); during the witch hunt, witches were discovered to only cry from their left eyes.[5][better source needed][4]

She also has a rose on her right wrist and a chain on her left. The rose represents Hell, and although it has beauty, it only pricks and hurts a person; the chain represents Heaven because a person can only go so far before they are stopped short by its restrictions. Dawn is the guardian of all the witches on Earth, and the goddess to whom they pray.[4]

Dawn's lover is Cernunnos (sometimes also known as the Horned God), the god of death, who has incarnated himself in the mortal form of Darrian Ashoka.[4][6] Darrian, unaware of his true origins, lives in a post-apocalyptic New York City when he first meets Dawn. She leads him on his path of true identity and self-discovery.[4]
