Dawn has a very large collection of various ink stamps accumulated during her travels through Sinnoh, and visits to Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. These stamps are kept in special stamp books made up of blank pages, with the paper being a bit more sturdy to prevent any bleed through of the ink.

Each stamp book is labelled with a range of years, and each page with a stamp is labelled as far as where she got it from. Many are from Pokémon Centers in each of the towns/cities in Sinnoh and other aforementioned regions, with some of them even being limited edition stamps for holidays and other commemorations. She's gotten a few from Poké Marts, even, and also museums and train stations as well.

Some of her most prized stamps are known as shuin, and are a combination of ink stamps and classical calligraphy. These stamps are kept in a separate book meant for these types of stamps. She's gotten these from various shrines and temples she's visited during her travels both in and outside of Sinnoh.

Generally, Dawn uses the pad of ink that is often provided with the rubber stamps, however she does carry an ink pad in her bag just in case. Sometimes ink pads can be a little dry, which makes the stamp look a bit more faded when placed on the page, or sometimes there hasn't been an ink pad at all.

Stamp rallies are one of her favorite things to partake in if she is able to, often held at museums, parks, or other places of public interest. They're something she really has tried to encourage being held more in the Sinnoh region, as she finds they're good ways to get people out and engaging with interesting places/points in the region while being minimally invasive overall. She's even gone as far as personally funding them, whether it be for staffing, purchase of the stamps and coinciding material (ink pads, paper, stamp books, etc.), and even some of the rewards/raffles that are held for those who complete the requirements. If she has the time, Dawn will also generally volunteer to help as well.

THE MANY MEANINGS OF "HEY.": A PROMPT LIST.

i often have these ideas that have no real origin, but i can actually tell you precisely why my brain wanted this: i was listening to "hey, soul sister" by train on a loop and i got thinking abt the fact that we really do just say "hey" for so many reasons. and i wanted to make that your thought of the evening! so happy november, bon appetit, wrap up warm, DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST, and enjoy your writings!

[ GREETING ]: sender says "hey" as a greeting to the receiver.

[ ATTENTION ]: sender, having just noticed something strange or remarkable, calls for the receiver to get their attention.

[ REASSURE ]: in a bid to steady the unsettled receiver, the sender lightly says "hey" to help them calm down.

[ ANGER ]: the sender sharply snaps "hey" at the receiver, clearly angry about something the receiver has just done or had done in the past.

[ IDEA ]: having been presented with a predicament, the sender suddenly unravels a solution, introducing it to the receiver by saying "hey…".

[ GUILT ]: having just done something that they know the receiver won't be pleased with, the sender sheepishly greets them once they arrive to see the damage.

[ GOSSIP ]: the sender turns to face the receiver conspiratorially, clearly eager to share some new gossip with them.

[ URGENT ]: the sender rushes to the preoccupied receiver, desperately shouting "hey!" to get them to focus on a far more pressing matter.

[ SOOTHE ]: after finding the clearly distressed receiver, the sender pulls them into a careful embrace, gently murmuring "hey…" to try and soothe them.

[ SMILE ]: the sender (who hasn't been smiling up until they actually see the receiver in front of them) lights up with a smile as they greet the receiver.

[ TEARS ]: the sender greets the receiver while very clearly in tears.

[ FAKE ]: alternatively, the sender (who has just been crying in private) hastily wipes away their tears and tries to greet the receiver casually (to varying degrees of success).

[ WARNING ]: when the receiver begins to say things about subjects that are off-limits to the sender, the latter gives them a warning by saying "hey…".

[ LAUGH ]: having found the receiver to be decidedly unhappy, the sender lightly catches their attention before doing something to make them laugh, or at the very least, grin.

[ PROTEST ]: after the receiver does or says something that the sender deems to be unfair, the sender tries to exact justice by saying "hey!".

[ BREATHLESS ]: having clearly just sprinted down to the receiver, the sender tries to catch their breath while greeting them.

[ SAVE ]: after just saving the receiver's life in a very heroic fashion, the sender smoothly greets them while helping them escape.

[ FLIRT ]: the sender meets the receiver in a social setting, and attempts to flirt with them with the very traditional pick-up line: "hey.".

[ APOLOGY ]: the sender, having recently done something that hurt or upset the receiver, reunites with them and addresses the elephant in the room by greeting them with a sincerely apologetic tone.

[ AWKWARD ]: after a particularly rough first encounter, the sender meets the receiver again, and awkwardly greets them with more than a touch of embarrassment.

[ GENTLE ]: having found the receiver in an emotionally compromised position, the sender closes the door and approaches them carefully, gently saying "hey…" to try and get them to communicate what has upset them.

[ HARD ]: preparing to deliver what they both know will be bad news, the sender tries to prepare the receiver by quietly greeting them in a solemn tone.

[ WAKEN ]: walking into the receiver's bedroom, the sender gently shakes their shoulder to waken them, and whispers "hey." to encourage the process along.

[ WHISPER ]: the sender gently whispers "hey" to the receiver to discreetly get their attention without drawing the attention of others.

Journaling is something that has been a longstanding part of Dawn's life, even preceding her going on her journey or learning of her ancestor's own journals. She started writing journal entries when she started Trainer School, often notating the date, the weather, any special events/happenings, and a short blurb/entry about her day, what happened, how she was feeling, etc. As a young girl that wasn't able to confide in her mother for anything, and kept others at an arm's length, being able to write her feelings and express her thoughts was incredibly liberating and made her feel more 'put together' to do so.

Her journals, of course, were kept up during her journey. Arguably, the journal entries she wrote during those years were the most important as it is essentially a firsthand retelling of her heroism, but also written history of everything that took place in Sinnoh during those years. Some of her entries in particular during this time got very detailed, such as the entries following Spear Pillar and the Distortion World. Though some dates in her travel journals have some sizeable gaps (mostly when shit was hitting the fan in Sinnoh and also during her hospital stay), Dawn would always spend some of her time at the end of the day writing her entries. This was done in shoddy camps she set up, during stays at Pokemon Centers, and even in the dim lighting of her secret base in the Underground.

All of the entries during her travels are split between two different journals, the first of which contains entries pertaining to her travels and experiences from the first gym to the fourth, and the second journal makes up the latter half with gyms five to eight and everything in between. Her triumphs, wins, pivotal moments, losses, learning experiences, and time out in Sinnoh's nature are all detailed with specific dates. If she's feeling particularly nostalgic, she'll read through some of the oldest entries, though some entries are understandably more painful to reread and re-experience than others.

She journals still in present time, albeit slightly less. Her normal day is pretty routine and mundane (to her, at least) and isn't usually of too much interest. However, if she travels or has a unique experience of some kind, she will absolutely make an entry for it. Dawn has specific journals for when she visits other regions, like a journal specifically for when she visits Hoenn, just in the interest of keeping things somewhat organized.

"I'm seriously considering holding a stamp rally at the Old Chateau for Halloween this year. I want to have my own stamp designs for each part of the manor, so there's still plenty of time to learn how to carve them myself." With how many stamp books she had filled over the years, there was a lot of inspiration for her.

i really like to think that pokemon cards exist in the pokemon universe too as fun collectibles/a playable tcg like the real world. mostly because i KNOW dawn would be a collector of all the yuka morii cards and any cards of her mons/ghost types

[loveridden1999]

[dawnedon]

honestly think that if dawn's life went a bit differently and she didn't have the level of ambition for herself that she does, she would have been one of those protags that dropped off the face of the planet for multiple years. zero contact with anyone at all, like no one for sure would know she's alive. just nomadic and freeballing out on this bitch of an earth, keeping a low profile and never staying in one place for Too Long

[dawnedon]

📋 : how organized is your muse?

✅ : what do they pretend to have together that they don't?

SYMBOL HEADCANON QUESTIONS | accepting!

Dawn is someone that does do her best to stay organized and have a specific place for each item she owns. She is not a fan of overly cluttered/messy looking spaces in which she lives, finding that it feels overwhelming when a bunch of her things are scattered about. Similarly, she isn't the type of person to make labels for items kept in drawers or be overbearingly specific/anal about it, but she will have certain 'codes' and 'rules' for how she organizes her things (most of which would be lost on others except for herself).

As an example, her woodworking tools stay at her workbench at nearly all times, with tools being placed in a specific order on the wall (generally in the order of which she uses them to work, like marking/measuring tools being first in line for example) or in tabletop drawer organizers. Dawn again doesn't label anything, as she doesn't truly need to. She knows where everything is, and she doesn't tend to reorganize or restructure how her items are stored often since her organization style has been set in her mind for decades. It is neat and orderly to her, and if she ever does need someone to get her something, she can give verbal instructions on where it is exactly.

Having any semblance of an idea on how to maintain interpersonal relationships in any capacity. Dawn is notorious for dropping off the face of the earth in her personal life. While she maintains her role as Sinnoh's Champion and has mastered her 'yosoiki face' in public appearances, meetings, interviews, etc., the 'professional Dawn' is vastly different from the 'true Dawn'. Maintaining amiable relationships among her colleagues and peers is easy business, but when those extend into friendships and toe more of a personal line, she is a lot more lost.

She is abysmal at checking in on her friends at a personal level, either not realizing how much time has passed since last speaking to people, or feeling like she is bothering those close to her by initiating and being the first to reach out. Many friendships she's had have drifted over time due to this, even her friendship with Barry had suffered at times due to her total radio silence. Sometimes, even when people reach out to her first, Dawn will take ages to reply if she does at all. Forgetfulness is a genuine reason, but also due to her being busy as well. Most of the time, her friends/those close to her only know she's for sure alive because of her presence in the professional sphere, and that if something were to have happened, it would have been picked up on and reported on immediately.

calling out for my mom in a moment of extreme pain and terror, but taking an aside to explain to the audience that i mean i want the concept of a mother as caregiver and protector to defend and rescue me rather than my literal mom, whose presence would neither bring me comfort nor improve the situation
