Dustpelt
Dustpelt, a dark brown tabby with amber eyes, is a ThunderClan warrior introduced in Into the Wild as an apprentice. He is approximately three moons older than Firestar, and had recently been made an apprentice when Firestar initially joins the clan. He and Sandstorm (then Dustpaw and Sandpaw) had often bullied Firepaw, however, this becomes less important as the story progresses. Dustpelt favors Sandstorm, but their relationship is strained when Sandstorm begins to fall in love with Firestar and he feels rejected. Later, he becomes Ferncloud's mate. Originally an ally and strong supporter of Tigerstar, Dustpelt was horrified to discover that Tigerstar killed his mentor, Redtail, and publicly rejected him in front of the Clan when Tigerstar was exiled Though usually depicted as a grudging ally of Firestar throughout all three series, Dustpelt's loyalty to his Clan (and therefore, its kittypet leader) is of absolute importance to him and he is a highly valued warrior as a result. Dustpelt is a skilled fighter, and is present in most attack parties described in the series. He is also a warm and dedicated father, having experienced the deaths of three of his kits, and makes sure to maintain a strong presence in both his kit's lives and that of his mate, Ferncloud. He is happy with his choice. Dustpelt's kits, both living and dead, include Hollykit, Larchkit, Foxpaw, Icepaw, Shrewpaw, Birchfall, and Spiderleg. His grandchildren, Toadkit and Rosekit, have been fathered by Spiderleg and his mate Daisy. Through the course of the series Dustpelt has mentored Ashfur, Squirrelflight, and Hazeltail.
