Dawn is the film's tortured soul that is not liked by her family, framed for cheating at school, told she will be raped later, and even forced to take a dump for someone else's sense of amusement. Dawn is a Junior High Student that has few joys in life. She enjoys spending time in her "special people" tree house, so naturally her parents keep trying to get it torn down. Dawn is overshadowed by her younger sister who gets all the attention. Dawn wants an older man, Steve Rogers but of course he will have nothing to do with her. To top her life off she is often asked if she is a lesbian at school and everyone knows her as wiener dog. If Dawn was a boy in the film she would have planned some great revenge but she's a young girl with no friends so she takes her pain as a form of medicine for life all alone.

Mark is Dawn's geeky brother. Dawn gathers information about Steve Rogers via him. Mark proclaims that Steve will sleep with anything. Mark by his own words is too busy with school to even think about girls. He does enjoy working with his rock band even though they really suck. But mostly Mark Wiener is a computer nerd.

Steve Rogers is Dawn's dream guy. She builds a little shrine for him in her room and performs strange encantations to try to harness the powers of nature to will Steve Rogers to like her. Steve comes over to Dawn's house to study with Dawn's brother and Dawn just has a field day with it. She says nothing of her interest since she is so much younger than Steve on this occasion though. Later Dawn musters the courage to go to Steve Roger's house and speak up about her interest in him. She offers to take him to her treehouse for "special people." Steve just blows her off and replies with something along the lines that special people are retarded.
