It was Dawn’s turn for a revamp/redraw as I already had her sketch around. Finished this up after sketching out some trades. I still really quite love Dawn and her little wing.
 
Original excerpt from Dawn’s first reference sheet:
 
“So originally I shipped Twilight Sparkle in my nextgenverse with an OC Griffin by the name of Brahma, however, I realized I didn’t really like the idea. After a bit I realized I like Twilight and Sunburst together, two bookworm nerds who both try and live up to great expectations. I’d imagine they would’ve bonded over taking care of and teaching Flurry Heart on Twilight’s visits to the Crystal empire and after Flurry was grown would’ve ended up living together, but likely would’ve had Dawn Reflection before that.”
 
“We’re all a little unsure alone, but together we’ll get through it.”  

 
Dawn Reflection
 
Parents: Twilight Sparkle & Sunburst  
Siblings: Gamma Ray (Half-sister)  
Species: Alicorn  
Gender: Female  
Cutiemark: An oval-shaped red mirror  
Special talent: Helping others be happy with themselves

Personality:
 
Dawn is an overall pleasant and happy pony, content to spend her days helping other ponies work out their troubles in her full time counseling job. While she counsels adult ponies as well, most of her job sees her working with children and young adults, who often have more problems accepting themselves. Despite the fact that her talent is helping others be happy with themselves, every now and then Dawn Reflection does suffer a pang of self-doubt or self-pity stemming from her deformed wing, but quickly brushes the thought aside, reminding herself that the outside isn’t what matters the most.
 
Her insistent attempts to help and soothe other ponies can annoy some of them, often those who have the most self-loathing and denial. She can be a little absentminded when it comes to duties outside of her job and has had to apologize profusely more than one for forgetting some meeting or outing with friends and family.
 
Relationships:
 
Her cousin Pupa is a source of much frustration and sadness for Dawn, as she understands how much the changeling pony resents himself. She often tries to spend time with him and get to the bottom of his self-hate to try and iron it out and maybe for once see her cousin happy, but Pupa is so deep in he instinctively pushes away most attempts at comradery or companionship.
 
Trivia
 
O Dawn Reflection is incapable of flight without levitation magic thanks to a birth deformity of her left wing that caused it to only grow to a certain point and just stop.  
O While Dawn is mostly sorted with the wing, she does understand it can make others uncomfortable and often wears a shawl across her back and flanks to cover both wings when she needs to work in situations where others need to be more relaxed and not distracted.  
O Dawn can very rarely bring herself to hold a grudge or seek revenge, almost always instead attempting to empathize with those who’ve hurt her and understand why they acted cruelly or callously.
