Each personality has its own voice, traits and mannerisms. They can come and go up to 10 times a day, changing without warning in a split second.
Dawn's alter egos
THE REAL DAWNA lovely 31-year old who is a loving mother to Troy and Connor.
LASHESThis troubled teenager has a volatile temper and swears a lot. She sends Dean scary texts trying to break off their relationship.
TIGER-LILY and TIGER-LOURelated girls a similar age to Dawn and closest to her own personality. Dawn's family are often the only ones who can tell when she is in one of these characters.
DAISY
A five-year-old girl who loves colouring and spends hours using Troy and Connor's crayons. She is Troy's favourite personality because she likes to play with the boys.
PHOENIXThis six-year-old is obsessed with building Lego and SpongeBob SquarePants - even though it's a family joke that Dawn can't stand either.

MADAM TAYLORAn older woman who keeps a brothel. She drove past a derelict building and said it would be the perfect place for her "girls" to do their trade.
LADY DAWNYMillionaire who spends uncontrollably and showers her family with gifts. She once spent the whole weekly budget on Lego and games consoles for the boys.

CHAVA girl who calls everyone "Chaz" - including her children, partner and friends - and has a strong London accent.
STORE BOSSScottish sandwich shop owner who wakes Dean in the middle of the night to make deliveries and pick up ingredients.
GERMAN
A woman who switches to speaking her native language in mid-conversation and gets frustrated when her family can't understand her.
YOUNGSTERSThese include a gangsta rapper who talks in ghetto rhymes and four children too shy to give their names. One likes to jump in the paddling pool fully clothed. And there are three teens who self-harm and send threatening texts to Dawn's friends.
She lives with her long-term partner Dean, 36, and their children Connor, 10, and seven-year-old Troy. She was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) – also known as Multiple Personality Disorder – in June. It followed years of erratic behaviour, which started with depression after Connor’s birth.
Dawn once woke covered in blood with scissors in her hand. She has tried to throttle a stranger and threatened to blow up her friend’s house. Supermarket visits are not easy.
