I love their relationship. It’s one of my absolute favourite things about season five onwards, and I think that they both have this amazing chemistry, this found-family brother-sister dynamic that I don’t know if was planned and exquisitely executed by Nicholas and Michelle, or if it evolved organically on-set once they started working together. Either way, it’s beautiful. Because for all that Dawn began as a magical macguffin, she stuck around and grew and evolved into something that wasn’t just a splinter of Buffy, wasn’t just a spare, wasn’t just dead weight. She had her own arc of growth, change, and self-determination, like any other member of the core cast, and that made her into a character that almost every viewer could identify with, by the end.

sayeth my wife: “I love how Dawn visibly composes herself because NO. SHE KNOWS HOW TO WIN THIS.”
