Dawn Roche

## Sigil

**Dawn Roche**/**Wind Courier** is a co-founder of Team Courier alongside Anne Ryder and Celina di Moreno.

## Powers

Dawn's powers are tied to her eagle familiar: as it flies, her eagle leaves a trail of air imbued with magic, which she can control at will. Dawn can also control air that has not been imbued by her familiar, but has far less control over that.

## Physical Appearance

Dawn is Caucasian, and taller than average, at 180cm / 5'9. She is constantly described as lanky, although whether that is a product of genetics like her height or a result of her non-physical powers is up for debate. Before the Dream, Dawn had light brown hair and hazel eyes. After the Dream, both her hair and eyes turned into a deep red. Dawn wears her hair in something of a pixie cut. Her mark, as mentioned by Ellie, can just barely be seen at the base of her neck.

Dawn's Magical Girl costume consists of a solid red dress with a white vest and red shawl, as well as white boots, a white falconry glove on her left arm, and a red bracer on her right. She also carries with herself a satchel bag for her duties on Team Courier.

When not transformed or at school, Dawn has a preference for long, colorful dresses.

## Personality

Dawn is rather quiet and reserved, preferring to keep her sentences simple and straightforward. While this is normally taken as abrasiveness or indifference, it is mostly just a product of Dawn being more introverted than most. Among friends, she generally likes teasing people and tends to be very caring and protective.

As of Team Courier, Dawn is also dealing with the disappearance of her childhood friend Celina, which has left her even more withdrawn.

## History

Dawn was born on the same night as Celina, and due to luck, the two were essentially raised together. Dawn developed an early admiration for her, but the two only became friends after Dawn, still as a small child, offered Celina comfort during one of her mother's sicker days, after which the two became inseparable. It was, thus, a big surprise that when both got the Dream, they ended up not being thematic. While this caused Celina a great amount of distress, Dawn felt that it was no issue, and formed a non-thematic team with Celina anyway, creating Team Blast.

As the two would soon discover, there already was a Team Blast in the City, one that was far more famous than them, to Celina's anger. They still spent two years acting as Team Blast, however, until one day Dawn met Ryder, who saw in the pair a chance to create Team Courier. Her guess was right, as the two girls joined her and fought to have the team formally recognized, becoming it's founders. For the ensuing months, Dawn and Celina helped Ryder recruit new people and build the team up, with Celina and Ryder doing most of the recruiting while Dawn dealt with other ideas.

Roughly five months after the team's formation, Dawn and Celina were asked to help with clearing a building nearby their houses that a monster had breached. In doing so, Dawn was stranded away from help and trapped by the monster, resulting in her nearly dying and Celina disappearing. Despite having been witness to these events, Dawn fell into a deep denial, refusing to accept what happened and referring to Celina as "missing" from then onwards.

Team Courier (Work)

Upon Ellie's joining of Team Courier, she and Dawn were made partners. The two were assigned to Team Alchemical's turf on their first night, which resulted in them being taken down near a monster ambush, and requiring being saved by Ryder. The two grew some measure of trust after this, and on the following night managed to bond further by talking about the rest of the team, after which Dawn saved Ellie and the civilian she was protecting from a monster attack. After Ryder was attacked, however, Dawn retreated into her negative spiral with renewed strength, which prompted Ellie to ask her about Celina. Despite some initial hesitation, Dawn relented and told Ellie about what had transpired a few weeks earlier. Despite it helping her cope, this still didn't remove Dawn's reservations about having a partner again, something that was later tested when Ellie, with no other choice, went on a solo Run to save a child's life, asking for Dawn's trust that she could survive that. Ellie was later proven right.
