Dawn Stratton was a Cardiff police officer. She became Andy Davidson's partner in 2009.
Dawn and Andy were called to a disturbance at a student house on Gabalfa Road in which a young girl had been bitten. The perpetrator had been locked in the cellar of the property. While attempting to handcuff the man, Dawn was bitten on the hand.
Dawn knew there was something wrong with him, noting that she had seen corpses which had looked healthier. Leaving the house, the officers were met with the sight of carnage - zombies feasting on people in the road. She grabbed Andy by the arm and they ran back to the car.
Dawn had pale green eyes. She was mentally strong, able to continue in her duty even after suffering an injury, although she still feared for her wellbeing. She didn't appreciate being mollycoddled. She was sensible in the face of danger, telling Andy that they needed back-up before they could think about helping anyone. (PROSE: Bay of the Dead)
