Live in Misery Pain and stress could no longer harm her, not when she already lives in misery
Watching Dawn shrug off critical blows and mental trauma may seem strange from an outside perspective, but those her know her may understand how she can. For Dawn, she's already living through hell. How could anything possibly affect her when she already lives in constant suffering.
Dawn's own self-perceived misery has now manifested into a mental block allowing her to believe that any injury dealt to her is nothing compared to what she's already gone through. While her life may actually one the brighter and positive side all things considered, its her own belief that allows this to work.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.
