fairy [tanya]

When her mother was pregnant with her, she was convinced that Dawson was a boy, and when a girl came out, she had no names - deciding to use the name she had already had picked... for a boy. That was the first strike against her mother, in Dawson's book.

Dawson was never particularly close with either of her parents, both of them being so different from her. She went to Australia for college and never turned back. When her cousin gets married, Dawson takes the journey to Washington, where she meets the most beautiful woman she's ever seen.
