Ally Dawson

"Lyrics don't just flow out of me like a river after a rain of tears."

- Ally in Kangaroos & Chaos

Allyson "Ally" Dawson is a 15-year old aspiring singer/songwriter with an extreme case of stage fright. She wrote the hit song that Austin performed in Rockers and Writers and basically made him famous. She helps him with his new-found fame. She is best friends with Trish.

Personality
Ally is a shy and sophisticated girl who has a knack for writing a killer song. She also really cares about helping her friends which often puts her in uncomfortable, but hilarious, situations. One of her biggest fears is being on stage, but as she writes more hit songs, her friends help her to come out of her shell and get used to being on stage. She likes to follow the rules. Ally may be a germaphobe because she gets over disgusted over anything that's dirty. She is awkward at times, especially when she is under pressure. She hates it when people try to touch her song book, like Austin does every now and then. Every time someone tries to touch it, she, in annoyance, says "Don't touch my book!" because the book is her diary as well as the place where she writes songs. Ally also likes pickles and is a terrible dancer as seen in Rockers & Writers.

History
In Rockers & Writers, Ally writes a song that Austin takes and records a music video with. After the music video becomes a hit online, Trish convinces Ally to tell the world she wrote the song. Then Austin convinces Ally to help him out with writing a new song. He gives her credit for both songs and they make a deal to become partners together.

In Kangaroos & Chaos, Ally is pressured to quickly write another song for Austin because it's been over a month since his last one. She scribbles down Austin's song lyrics in illegible handwriting, prompting Dez and Trish to start gathering strange props for the music video which they think correspond to her lyrics.

In Secrets & Songbooks, Ally loses her songwriting book, which is also her top-secret diary, so she and Trish comb the mall looking for it, unaware that Austin and Dez have already found it and read it, revealing that Ally has a secret crush. Ally reveals that her crush is actually a boy named Dallas, and her and Austin's misunderstanding is cleared.

In Zalien & Cloudwatcher,Ally wrote a song for Austin but he didn't like it,saying it's not him at at,so Austin and Ally decided to spend more time together.First they went to Ally's cloudwatcher club.Then they went to watch a movie.Near the ending,Ally stole a goose she name Pickle.
