I agree that Dawn probably exists in an alternate reality. They make a note to mention that the monks "Bent reality" which I think means a spell to copy her from another timeline and use her in this reality.

2023-10-25 03:58:16 +0000 UTCI'm not sure I've posted this elsewhere with Lexie's reactions, but my take with Dawn is that it seems unlikely the Monks crafts every minute detail of her life - that would arguably take years (probably at least 13). It's not just memories, she has clothes, poster, 7 or 8 years worth of report cards. I think it's more plausible, are perhaps easier if the monks created a sort of temporal fold, similar to The Wish or Anya's attempt to get her necklace back in Doppelgangland - an alternate timeline where Buffy had a younger sister, within whom the monks could infuse the Key. This reality fold could be grafted onto the existing reality; shaped to ensure that all the necessary events lined up the same, in spite of the existence of a new person. So Dawn would be real, and their memories of her real too; just sort of comparatively more recent. When Buffy did the spell to see spells, she saw the variation between the two realities, but ostensibly from the point where the reality fold caught up to the present day, there would only be on reality after that - the one with Dawn in it. I don't think it would be unusual for some casual factoid to come up about how long Dawn's kept her diary. And I think Dawn's flashback in the park was more the general reminiscence of being a swing with Buffy; and not necessarily that specific swing.

2022-08-27 18:20:23 +0000 UTCIt can be debated that Dawn did exist before Season 5, just in another reality. The show makes a point of saying that there are alternate realities. The monks may have copy and pasted things from that reality concerning Dawn and inserted it into this one.
