Dawn Summers, 16, is the Key, and the sister of Buffy Anne Summers, Vampire Slayer. After protecting the Key for centuries, the monks of the Order of Dagon were forced to hide it from Glorificus (Glory), a hellgod, by turning it into a human girl. They placed Dawn with the Slayer, disguised as a younger sister, and implanted memories in everyone in Buffy and Dawn's lives that made it seem as if Dawn had always been a part of Buffy's family. It is unclear how the implanted memories are activated but there is not one person who doesn't remember Dawn. The insane and those "outside of reality," such as clairvoyants, are able to see that she is not real, and Buffy was able to identify her as part of a spell by going into a deep trance. Joyce seemed to recognize that Dawn was not truly her daughter at certain moments when she was being affected by her brain tumor. Dawn was initially unaware of her true nature, but learnt the truth, much to her distress, when she broke into the Magic Box and read Giles' diary. Glory's aim in this world was to find the Key — it turned out the Key could break down all the dimensional barriers, and Glory intended to use Dawn in a ritual to get back to her own dimension. This ritual would result in Dawn's death, and the unleashing of countless demon dimensions on earth. Buffy wasn't able to stop Glory from starting the ritual, but by sacrificing her own life she was able to stop it in time to save Dawn and the world. Luckily for Dawn, Willow was able to bring Buffy back from the dead. Still, Dawn's life wasn't easy for her (being not quite real, having such a strange life, and with her sister being detached and distant after her resurrection), and she developed a thieving habit as a cry for attention. This was eventually discovered, and Buffy has since improved her relationship with Dawn. After the battle with the First, Buffy and Dawn moved to Italy, and Dawn has flourished there on her own, discovering powers that she didn't know she had. While Dawn was supposed to have been awakened as a Slayer during Buffy's second death - Buffy's blood in Dawn's body would have made this possible - this never came to pass. Instead, Dawn's own special powers as the Key have started to manifest. She finds herself able to talk to the dead, and she's also recently discovered that she's a telekinetic. Also, in times of extreme stress or danger, Dawn finds herself in the midst of a sparkly, shimmery green plasma like aura around her - the physical manifestation of her Key energies. What other powers await Dawn, no one is truly sure of yet, but what they do know is that what they have with them is an extraordinary girl indeed.
