Ally Dawson is one of two main protaganists on the Disney Channel orginal comedy, Austin & Ally. Ally is portrayed by American actress, singer, and songwriter Laura Marano.

Personality and Appearence
Ally is a very talented and aspiring singer and songwriter. She is best friends with Trish De La Rosa, Austin Moon, and Dez Perrado. Ally is shown to be a kind hearted girl who takes pride in doing the right thing but often says and does akward things. She had extreme stage fright, the reason being she embarrassed herself in front of the owner of a major music university by screaming at a piano due to a hallucination and even wrote a song about her experiences with stage fright and overcoming it in the episode "Tracks & Trouble" called "I'm Finally Me" that Laura Marano actually helped write. She got over her stage fright in the Season Two episode, "Chapters & Choices" when she performed the song "You Can Come To Me" with Austin at her mother's book release party. She is also shown to be an amazing piano player. In Season One, Ally has curly brown hair, brown eyes, and fair, light, skin. In Season Two, her hair has caramel highlights.

Relationships
Dallas

In Season One, Ally had a crush on a boy named Dallas who worked at the cell phone accesory cart. They seemed to have a few things in common, and he seemed to have a crush on her too . It is unknown if Dallas will return to the series, though it is highly unlikely.

Austin Moon 

In the Season Two episode "Girlfriends & Girl Friends", Ally realized that she has feelings for Austin. In the episode "Campers & Complicatons", Austin realizes (with the help of Dez) that he has feelings for her, too. They shared a kiss in the episode "Chapters & Choices", but the happy moment was short lived when Kira (Austin's previous love interest) told him that she would be with him, answering a question Austin had asked her the day before. Ally then leaves with Trish in the next episode, heartbroken and extremely upset. After what happened with Kira, Ally tries to move on and focus on her own career, stating ''"It's time to close the door on Austin and open the door on me". ''In the end, Austin breaks up with Kira, the magazine mishap is cleared up, and Austin and Ally are officially a couple. In the episode "Couples & Careers", Austin and Ally go out on their first official date and find that they are afraid to talk to each other truthfully. When it starts to affect their songwriting, they agree to wait to be a couple and breakup. They will get back together in the season finale of the show's current season.

Elliot

Elliot was Ally's first crush. They attended Arts and Crafts camp together when they were kids. In the episode "Campers & Complications", he comes to visit her and they end up spending alot of time together, making Austin jealous and Trish slightly annoyed. At first, Ally really wanted things to work out with him romantically, but realizes that the only reason for that was because she thought that maybe it would help her get over Austin if she had someone else. In the end, it doesn't work out between them because all they had to talk about was camp.
