Dawn and Carla are two women from the 1950s who worked in a circus before Javier (time traveler ) and Elise crash-landed near their performance and convinced them to join their little adventure once they learned how awful they were being treated. Dawn is a contortionist who would do tricks with fire, and Carla does acrobatics and handled some of the animal acts in the circus.
Dawn is such a sweet woman. If you didn't know her you would think she never knows what's going on and is just kinda coasting, but that's not true. She knows what's going on ALL the time, but she would rather focus on collecting buttons and making tea for her friends when they're feeling down. She's an incredible optimist who loves her friends and loves her girlfriend and is just excited to have powers and experience the world through a unique lens.
Carla is a realist, but she doesn't crap all over Dawn's optimism. They adore each other, and Carla's main motivation for following the other characters around is to protect Dawn and make sure she can experience everything in a positive way. She is grateful for her rescue from the circus, but she would much rather run away and settle down than travel. Over time she does connect with the others, Javier in particular, but her priority is and will always be Dawn.
