Kash, I ~love~ the sunshine idea, and the idea that Dawn's energy fuels her magic. It could make her very formidable.

I don't think she'd get cocky with her power though, as it's just not like her. She's been on the sidelines her whole life, so she'd probably relish the limelight a good bit, but she's seen what power has done to Willow, and to Buffy all her life. Plus she has made cocky mistakes in the past (like when she ran off to help Amanda in 'Potential' because she thought she could handle it) so she's less likely to in season 8.

If we could twist the story just a little, I think that it's far more likely that Dawn would push herself too hard, constantly trying to help the gang and save lives. We could find out that it's because she's still afraid that the Key was only created to destroy, and she wants to be able to help people instead. That would be much more Dawn-ish, I think.

I am *so* looking forward to the episode! And thanks for your summary, as it gives me a starting point for episode 11!

Im agreeing with Linda, I dont think Dawn would get cocky... but the rest of the episode sounds cool :)

BTW, when will Dawn be recieving the Book Of Shadows? Ep 8, 9?

Maybe I didn't phrase it too well... I don't think Dawn would become too rash with her power, just that she'd go on patrol a few times. More to prove to *herself* that she's powerful than to anyone else. I just think that after being kept away from patrolling for so long, and then not being needed because Faith and Kennedy are around, Dawn would try to draw a little attention her way.
