I was being a nerd and typed in the word "Dawn" on google, and here's what I got as a definition from Wikipedia: "Dawn refers to the twilight before sunrise."

Is it possible that there is a connection here?

I of course looked up all the definitions of Dawn, Twilight, and I even through "dusk" in there for good measure:

1. Twilight: the soft, diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, either from daybreak to sunrise or, more commonly, from sunset to nightfall.

2. Dawn: the first appearance of daylight in the morning. (let's not forget the "twilight before sunrise" comment)

3. Dusk: the state or period of partial darkness between day and night; the dark part of twilight. (maybe we'll see "Dusk" in season 9 - bad joke, I know)

Either way, I'm probably wasting my time searching for clues, but perhaps the clue is in his name. Maybe Twilight refers to Dawn... perhaps whatever magic it took to create Dawn has done something to create or empower the being we know as Twilight.


Wikipedia had another nice little reference to the word Dawn:

"In folklore, belief exists that dawn banishes evil spirits, ghosts, vampires, trolls, faeries and demons is common, for various reasons, throughout Eastern and Western cultures."

Hey, I realize Wikipedia is often not the strongest source of information, but you gotta admit it has some interesting things going on...

That's definitely an interesting idea, I hadn't thought of that.... would be really cool if they somehow used that in the comics :)

Sounds kind of like the end of the Age of Magic... right?! Maybe Dawn is somehow going to be responsible for that... or maybe her Keyness is gonna be the key (no bad pun intended) to ending it for someone else.

hmm that's what i was thinking
book 10

I just read over book 10 again, and I really am starting to feel there's something to it... look at the sequences between the story of Buffy/Willow and Xander/Dawn... They are tied together somehow... the book was crafted that way to perhaps tell us something's there. The spidey-sense went off when I saw Dawn's face when Xander asked her "was it good to get it all off your chest" She looked away and Xander just said "Dawn?" and it transitioned right back to the Buffy/Willow scene where we see Buffy was betrayed by what is described as "The closest. The most unexpected." Wouldn't that be Dawn? This is all making me think. Twilight definitely made Buffy pause and second-guess herself and her cause... if he can do that verbally to Buffy (which was more damaging than anything he could do physically to her--and he KNEW that), he can certainly turn her impressionable sister on her. Oddly enough, Willow says she was "never naughty here" in that same room where the betrayal occurred...

Whether my speculation is wrong or right, Book 10 was pretty deep.
