   Michelle Trachtenberg reveals the one thing she’d change about her time on   
   the  supernatural drama.   
      
   Dawn’s arrival was foreshadowed ahead of time, with cryptic references prior   
   to her on-screen debut. According to series creator Joss Whedon, Dawn was   
   introduced in part so that Buffy could experience an emotionally intense   
   relationship that was not romantic. And although Trachtenberg has said that   
   she began playing Dawn without knowing what the younger sibling's   
   personality would be, she certainly grew into the role. Still, there is one   
   thing that the actress does wish she could alter about her Buffy experience.   
   It has to do with the series’ Magic Box, where the protagonists would often   
   spend hours doing research in the later seasons.   
      
   In an interview with ET Online,   Trachtenberg  looked back on some of her   
   most famous characters. That includes her role as Harriet the Spy and her   
   recurring appearances on the original Gossip Girl as Georgina Sparks. But,   
   when it comes to Buffy, the actress gave a surprising answer when asked if   
   she wanted to change anything about her time on the show. She revealed that,   
   much like Dawn, she probably would have stolen more [souvenir props].   
   “I wish I stole more things from the magic shop. Actually, I was texting   
   with Sarah  the other day. And I was like, ‘Oh, man. I should have taken a   
   whole bunch of stuff.’ "   
      
   Many of Buffy’s stars have had essentially the same inclination, revealing   
   that they’ve kept certain trinkets and souvenirs from the series. Alyson   
   Hannigan, who played Willow, has shared that she uses props from the show as   
   Halloween decorations. As for David Boreanaz, he’s noted in the past that he   
   kept his character’s original trench coat. For her part, Gellar has also   
   posted online to show that she’s held onto some mementos from her tenure as   
   the titular vampire slayer.   
      
   But with that said, Trachtenberg’s remarks are a little extra amusing given   
   that Dawn has her own history of stealing and shoplifting. In a subplot that   
   was derided by some fans, Dawn developed a habit for kleptomania in season 6   
   as a way to cope with the struggles and traumas she experienced. Like a lot   
   of stories related to Dawn, the issue was only halfheartedly explored as the   
   show was often focused on other characters. In any case, it’s clear that   
   Trachtenberg has a sense of humor about her part in Buffy the Vampire   
   Slayer.   
      
           [In another interview, Michelle said she hopes that any Buffy reboot   
   would ''honor what the fans love.'']
