Duskstar is the first and current leader of Pineclan in the Valley Territories. He was born as **Duskkit** to Harrybrook, Blossomheart, and his sister Ridgesight. As an apprentice, **Duskpaw** was mentored by Turtlecrawl and went on the Bloody Journey. After his sister joined Gorseclan, he convinced the Shadowclan apprentices to form and new clan Pineclan. He later became **Duskclaw**. He was appointed leader and granted nine lives as **Duskstar**; he mentored Tigerhawk before making him a warrior prematurely and forcing Myrtlebloom to become his mate as he planned attacks against the clans.

## **History**

### **Post-New Clans**

Duskstar was a kind kit, always helping run around. She came with her brother to give water to the queens or help with the bedding so much that their grandmother Leafstar called them "The Kit Apprentices," which also made Ridgekit and Duskkit laugh all the time, being close as ever. When he became an apprentice, he was mentored by Turtlecrawl, who had high standards. However, Duskpaw went far and beyond, but as his sister became closer to Beepaw, he found company in his legacy and started valuing cats more on if they had "pure blood" or, more specifically, the blood of deputies and leaders.

As Leafstar's son, Duskpaw took pride in his heritage and got away with much more than other apprentices. He also grew larger than even Beepaw and Beetlepaw, the oldest apprentices. Duskpaw went to the emergency gathering about a new prophecy: the clans would leave the lake and send their youngest warriors and apprentices to be representatives. While Leafstar was hesitant, Duskpaw convinced her to allow them to go. When the foxes ambush the representatives instead of running, Duskpaw charges without a thought, killing two of the foxes as Beetlepaw and Beepaw subdue the other fox.

As Duskpaw was establishing himself as leader of the Skyclan representatives, his only challenge was Wrenflight. Wrenflight believed she deserved seniority as the only warrior representative, but when Ridgepaw backed up her brother while Beepaw sided with Wrenflight, Beetlepaw remained neutral. As such, only Duskpaw and Ridgepaw refused to join Sparrowclan when Bristlepaw offered them to join as Beetlepaw, Beepaw, and Wrenflight all agreed. Duskpaw, however, further refused to join Gorseclan when Nightheart asked them. Finally, this time, Ridgepaw decided to join Duskpaw's anger, so he left Sparrowclan's forest and traveled to the far western side of the valley.

Duskpaw eventually found himself in a vast pine forest and stumbled on a makeshift camp seeing all the Shadowclan apprentices; Whisperpaw, Streampaw, Firpaw, Bloompaw, Rowanpaw, and Birchpaw. Through sweet words and cunning answers, Duskpaw was convinced to form a new clan which they named Pineclan, and he declared that the entirety of the Pine forest belonged to them, which didn't cause any conflict as no clan had claimed the territory yet. Next, Duskpaw organized patrols to find more cats, with him convincing Myrtlebloom, a wanderer family consisting of; Tiger, Soot, Claw, and Ebony. He also found a wandering Beetlepaw with a wanderer named Frost. He also convinced a cat named Cold to be their medicine cat and three other wanderers; Talon, Turtle, and Cicero.

Cold took the name Coldfur and gave Duskpaw the named Duskclaw and the apprentice Tigerpaw. The clan had already chosen Duskclaw as leader before, as it was his idea to form the clan, and he gained his nine lives and a warning he didn't follow. Following his tendencies, Duskstar chose Rowanbeam as his deputy. While yes, she was the best option, the main reason they had the blood of; The second Tigerstar, Rowanstar, The first Tigerstar, Pinestar in Thunderclan, Oakstar in Thunderclan, and Firestar in Thunderlcan.

Duskstar also had a major concern for his bloodline and, as such, "convinced" Myrtlebloom to be his mate. As for his apprentice, he gave Tigerpaw strict training and made it clear to go for the most lethal swipes and attacks. Duskstar eventually decided to test his clan's strength not to gain territory but to "test the waters." The ensuing battle saw Duskstar maul a young Foamclan apprentice, Conepaw, before Tigerpaw killed a full-grown warrior Graystorm, which caused Foamclan to retreat. Duskstar made him a premature warrior; clearing saw Tigerhawk as an acid. Finally, in the clan, he made a tight group of warriors loyal to him: Marsheye, Firclaw, Streampelt, Talonpaw, and Turtlepaw.

Duskstar then attended the second gathering in the history of the new clan making sure his clan was there before any others. He also talked to his sister, who was more uncomfortable with him.

Duskstar thought he could easily beat back Sparrowclan by intruding their territory, however his cats were beaten back and he even received a scar from Finchstar. Angered, he killed the last Pineclan warrior to leave Clawthroat and was enraged when Tigerhawk left the clan.

### **Personality**

Duskstar is almost every emotion in one. Duskstar is cunning and as calculating as the changes of the seasons. His skill in battle is almost unmatched, as barely anyone can beat him. Duskstar also has immense pride and only believes talented warriors or those descended from leaders can talk to him, and he ignores or hurts others. He is very sadistic, having cruel and painful punishment for those who disobey him. When angry, he knows no bounds killing or hurting whatever cat is closest to him.

### **Ridgesight**

Duskstar is Ridgesight's brother; the siblings had close bonds as kits. They loved helping give the queens water and helping with their bedding while playing around. As both wanted to avoid becoming apprentices and helping the clan, they hoped they would have the same mentor. So when they became apprentices, whenever they could, they always hung out together, laughing and having fun in their blissful clan. However, after the fall of the clan, they grew less close till they separated Ridgesight was shocked when she heard her brother had made his clan and horrified when she heard what he did to Foamclan.
