Whenever Dawn is about to take a heavy blow some unseen force seemingly bends reality around to her favor. Those watching carefully can see beautiful cursive script written in the air describing the event as spectral raven feathers softly fall around her. For example, the script might read out as "The tiny girl narrowly dodged the monsters claws." or "The assassin's shot missed its mark as the brave girl pushed forward."
The gift acts in a similar way to how all young adult novel protagonists seemingly survive or come out unharmed in super dangerous situations. To a certain extent, Dawn is invoking those same laws and rules found in fiction and applying it to herself. This could be considered her bending the very fabric of reality or an amplification of her own luck but regardless the end result is the same and she herself doesn't really care.
The handwriting of the script appears to be her own, as if she herself is subconsciously writing out what she wants to happen. The raven feathers that seemingly appear from no where is most likely another subconscious embellishment that Dawn would perceive as cool and edgy when in reality she's never come into contact with ravens in any meaningful way.
