I can't quite manage Michelle Trachtenburg dying.

I know she's not Dawn, but she sort of is Dawn. As well as being so many other characters I love – which, I mainly love them because there is Michelle, still being Michelle, and still sort of being Dawn even though she's not Dawn anymore.

Life can be so unpredictable. And so brief.

She was only a year older than me, and even before I fell in love with BtVS, she was Harriet the Spy. It's so hard to wrap my mind around. I hope she knew that, despite all the haters, many of us loved Dawn and thought she did a magnificent job with the role.
