Bio:
Dawn is Queen of Britannia, having come to that role through an process which, though opaque, can said to be welcomed by most Britannians. She slew Lord Blackthorn many years ago, and slew Lord Casca more recently.
Early History
Dawn was a native of the City of Yew. Her parents died when she was young, and she was raised by her Grandfather, a retired Knight of the Realm who schooled her in the arts of combat and in the ways of Virtue.
First Appearance
She fought in the wars against the Juka, who had been manipulated by Blackthorn into attacking Britannia. In a battle in Yew, she caught the attention of Dupre, who effectively recruited her into the "inner circle" that advised the leaders of the realm in the absence of Lord British, and became a "Royal Knight" (a new name for the Order of the Silver Serpent).
Though Dawn was at first suspicious of the Meer, who followed the Juka through time to help us fight them, Blackthorn, and Exodus, she eventually became friends with the Meer girl Dasha. Dasha and Dawn shared the experience of losing their homes.
Dawn later had the distinct honor of landing the killing blow on Lord Blackthorn when he and his minions invaded Yew without any obvious help from the Juka or his partner-in-evil, Exodus. For her efforts she was rewarded with Dawn's Music Box, replicas of which are owned by many Britannians. Some state that she was named a "regent" of the realm at some point, but no document could immediately be located to verify that.
Absence from Public Life
Following her heroism in slaying Blackthorn, Dawn retreated from public life. She eventually married and settled in her home city of Yew, in a house at the west end of town, south of the Court of Truth and on the east end of the bay. There she lived quietly with her husband, just an ordinary girl in Yew living an ordinary life, for many years.
Dawn, Warrior of Destiny
Along with Sherry the Mouse, Dawn was one of the last links to the Lord British regime. Casca, then-King and puppet of the evil Shadowlords, thus saw her as a threat, and attempted to kill her by burning her house down. He failed, and Dawn ended up joining, and then leading the gathering resistance against Casca.
Dawn had changed somewhat in the intervening years. She was no longer the brave but naive and borderline-foolish young girl we once knew, with few experiences besides training, a few big battles, and a role she was thrust into rather than earned. Instead, she was a young lady, smarter and shaped by more ordinary life experiences.
Dawn played a key role in the direct battle against the Shadowlords that took place at the Fire Temple, the final fight against the Crimson Dragons which took place in Felucca, and finally being the one to kill Casca by destroying the magic, Shadowlord-powered gemstone that gave him life. Casca thus became the second major villain to be slain, directly, by Dawn.
Queen Dawn
Following the conclusion of long Shadowlord conflicts, Dawn was crowned Queen of Britannia. In the political confusion that often follows such catastrophic events, it is difficult to saw who crowned her, exactly, but not many people seemed to care. Some stability in the realm was needed, and Dawn was both qualified and willing.
Her first actions upon being crown Queen mostly revolved around the appearance of Ter Mur, the [Underworld]], and the Stygian Abyss. (Specifically, she or her staff sent soldiers and cannons to contain the evils of the Underworld. She also made diplomatic overtures to the Gargoyle Queen of Ter Mur, (Queen Zhah).
