non-annoying potential
the thing that annoyed me most was that she was my age and in tabula rasa she acted like a baby that was very insulting to me!
Dawn being winny and childlike is part of her character. It's her cry for help and attention. After her mother's passing not to mention with her sister being The Slayer she is underlooked and sometimes doesn't get the love and attention that she needs.
Her performance in Tabula Rasa was absolutely hideously awful...it almost ruined the whole episode for me. I don't think it was the writing so much as Michelle thinking that losing your memory somehow makes you revert to being infantile...
