Dawn has lived in the limelight since she was a toddler, and is now known as the star of the fictional teen drama, "Bel-Air High". Feeling a bit lonely from her celebrity life, Dawn applies to Charles University and meets Samantha, who becomes her first real friend. When not in class, Dawn is usually found at Colony, the local night club, visiting with her friends, Lee and Trent or studying her lines for an upcoming school production of "Macbeth". She is disappointed that Trent never realizes how much she likes him. After she finds out that Trent really wanted Sam all along, she seemingly storms out of Colony, where she found the two kissing, and is hit by a car. After she comes back, she rampages towards her classmates. She feels appreciated again after she reads all the good reviews from her performance of Macbeth, after she had felt like she was being betrayed by everybody. She ends up losing her virginity to Devon when they were both drunk.
