Dawn Agonist, Dawn, or, as she's also known as, Yang, is a major character featured in Heirs of Rage and Tale of Purt II. She is the Heir of Purt Agonist, making her Avraxas's niece and Dusk's cousin.

Information

In the wake of the world's devastation following the Fourth Rage War, the Hackers came together in order to fix their mistake. The Aurora Machina was their solution, allowing to manipulate the world as they saw fit. The machine, however, was soon used to create life of its own; the Heirs, artificially made children of the Hackers. Purt, brother of one of the men who came up with the Aurora Machina, Avraxas, participated in this and gained his daughter Dawn.

Unlike the other Heirs, the knowledge of her creation and her status as a being derived from the Aurora Machina wasn't kept secret from her, which she shared with her cousin Dusk. As she grew up in the care of Purt and Av, she developed into a lighthearted individual with a constant chipper attitude about the things around her, unlike her cousin who became more serious and stern in light of the knowledge. She and Dusk would often be taken between Purt's business (and perhaps home) Agonist Bakery, and Av's home, the Hermitage.

At some point, Av died during his birthday and was buried by Purt, Dusk, and Dawn, who held their memory of him in their hearts. However, the three had no knowledge of Av copying his personality and being into the Aurora Machina's computer system. Due to his death, the two took on the role of guardians of the Hermitage in order to protect the piece of the Aurora which Av kept. Even with such a heavy and serious role, Dawn's habits occasionally break the tone and immediately paints her in a more silly light.

She is the first to crack a joke in the face of danger.

Heirs of Rage

Dawn makes her first official appearance alongside her cousin in a cutscene just before chapter 4, she is seen firing an arrow at the group with the intent to harm, as the arrow would have met it's mark had Chibraxis not push Ryokazi out of the way. It is here that the two guardians make their presence known as a force to be reckoned with. As the chapter starts, Dawn keeps up a facade of being serious while breaking into her usual silly antics much to Dusk's dismay. Much like her father, Dawn is gifted the ability to break the fourth wall. A trait that only fuels her silly antics to go further and beyond just comic relief as she points out rather good points made about the gameplay to work in their favor. Which suggests that even with this knowledge she and Dusk would rather play things fairly than to have everything work completely in their favor.

Should the player have recruited Particius, Dawn is shown to be incredibly upset over having the title of a Jojo Memer taken away from her. This leads Patricius to begin insisting that he was the OG and that he will always hold the title. This segues into Patricius growing rather fond of Dawn and beginning to flirt with her, which only further infuriates her. This remains the sole instance of Dawn being truly angry at someone.

If Dawn engages in battle with Aster, the two end up becoming friends on the spot. They begin to understand that just because they are on opposite sides of the battlefield that they don't need to bear ill will towards each other, and in turn decide to take the opportunity to befriend each other. As touching a moment it is, Dawn breaks the news that they are still currently at a feud and must still fight each other.

From then onwards Dawn remains a serious woman with frequent breaks from reality to her true quirky nature. The more notable breaks in her serious facade being the interactions she has with her own family, Patricius, against Mari, and in her ending where she seems to drop the mask, in both senses, and fully embraces her fun loving and bright personality.

Tale of Purt II

Dawn returns at the start of the game, true to her development she is a much more open and happy woman. Even going as far as to try and break Dusk out of his edgy funk with some wholesome family fun such as cosplaying as Mabel and Dipper Pines. As Purt comes home with Originul and a Tardis tome, the spark is reignited in Dusk as the Agonist Family take on the task of using time travel to retcon the death of Avraxas.

Dawn remains a main party member throughout the game and serves more as the vibrant dreamer trying to keep a smile against the grim setting they've managed to step into. Even when faced with the dark and gritty nature of the world they journeyed into, Dawn remains true to her silly attitude, often trying to diffuse the tension with jokes and memes, as well as a coping mechanism when faced with the horrible terrors. In the end, her spirit was truly put to the test when faced with the absolute ruthlessness of Athie, but is kept going and brought back up with the encouragement of her father. With Purt's positive attitude and inspiring words, Dawn cracks a smile and immediately makes a Persona 5 reference, showing that she truly has been revived from the feeling of hopelessness that Athie tried to plunge them into.

Personality

Dawn acts more or less as one would expect the daughter of Purt to be. She is bright and silly as the bread deliverer himself, although shown to not have as strong of a will as him as shown by the moment of complete defeat she felt in the final chapter of Tale of Purt II. She is quick to make friends, even amidst the battlefield. Just as quickly as she is to make jokes even in the most inappropriate of times. Though she clearly has her limits, shown by both her confrontation with Athie and any and all conversations that have any semblance to do with Patricius.

Appearance

Dawn is a young woman around the age of 19 as she once put it. Given the nature of being the only female Agonist, Dawn stands out immensely in comparison to her father. Although the two do share the same color schemes and hair color, Dawn begins to break away with the length of her hair reaching midback as well locks of hair that depart from her bangs to frame her face. Though what is worth mentioning is that her hair does curl in a similar fashion to the other Agonists, but due to length she has a more unique style.

Trivia

• In Heirs of Rage, should Dawn end the last strike of her Astra with a Critical, the sound effect used is that of a large caliber rifle firing off. A possible pun off of the fact that her class is a Sniper.
  • This sound effect follows her in Tale of Purt II as her regular Critical Sound Effect.
• In the ending credits to Heirs of Rage, it is shown that Patricius proposes to her on the spot. The results of the proposal were left ambiguous. However due to the public release and Tale of Purt II, it is more than likely that she denied him due to Patricius being the only person alive to have incited anger in her.
