Duskwhisker is an all black she-cat with a white chest and green eyes. She was born in RiverClan but left to

## History

Duskkit was born to Rainclaw and Dappledpelt in their first and only litter along with her sister, Cloudkit. When she and her sister were merely 3 moons old, Rainclaw, their mother, was killed in a revenge act by Foxpelt after learning Leafpaw, Foxpelt's apprentice, was murdered by ForestClan under Rainclaw's supervision.

Duskkit, who had witnessed her mother's death, went to Fawnstar in attempt to plea to rid the Clan of Foxpelt, but Fawnstar did not believe her. Moons before Duskkit's birth, Fawnstar received a prophecy that a cat would destroy the Clan, and she had assumed Duskkit was the one.

After her mother's shocking death, Fawnstar attempted to lower Duskkit's interactions with others in the Clan by warning others of Duskkit's hidden power. Duskkit was unaware of this, and was confused as to why her Clanmates were avoiding her. Nevertheless, Duskkit went on with her days despite little exposure to her sister, Cloudkit.

Duskpaw, after her apprenticeship, was given the mentor of Foxpelt, as a punishment from Fawnstar. She knew the two needed to get along, and fast before Duskpaw's recklessness drove the Clan apart. Fawnstar continued to drive others away from Duskpaw, leading her to fall into a state of loneliness.

Miraculously, Duskpaw noticed that Speckledust, a medicine cat apprentice, continued to give Duskpaw the attention and friendship she needed. Also, Duskpaw sought closeness with an apprentice-sized rogue by the name of Fiero. The flame-colored rogue allowed a close friendship between himself and Duskpaw, so close that the newly made warrior, Duskwhisker, persuaded him to join the Clan.

After her dreary apprenticeship, Duskwhisker decided to help train Fiero to become a stronger and more powerful warrior and hunter than he was before, making it impossible for Fawnstar to turn the flamey orange tom down.

Once Fawnstar decided to take in Fiero, he was renamed Flameclaw and soon after became mates with Duskwhisker. Once Duskwhisker and Flameclaw were higher up in the Clan, just below senior warriors, Duskwhisker decided it was time to wreak her revenge upon Foxpelt.

Instead of coming up with an elaborate plan to strike the tom, Duskwhisker simply accompanied him on a hunting patrol to talk, but ended up murdering him right beside the river. She carried the ginger tom's limp body back to the camp, explaining to Fawnstar how he slipped into the river and snapped his neck on a rock. Despite this, Fawnstar still decided to place the blame on Duskwhisker, using the evidence of the prophecy as proof.

Duskwhisker, realizing that this prophecy was the reason why she was isolated from her Clanmates, and her own sister, snapped, growing angry with Fawnstar. Fawnstar believed now was the time to drive out Duskwhisker, and forced her to leave the Clan.

Duskwhisker sought out the life of a rogue, changing her name to Stellar. She found shelter beneath a Twoleg den, and stole some food the Twolegs laid outside. She declared to herself she would return to RiverClan and kill Fawnstar.

Moons later, Fawnstar was on her final two lives. She had recently made Flameclaw her deputy after the death of the long living Blossomfang.

While Fawnstar was on a hunting patrol by herself, she encountered many carcasses of mice in a trail of blood leading towards a rock. Out of curiosity and anger of wasted prey, she followed the trail, which lead to Stellar, whom was eating one of the mice. Gazing up from her kill, she narrowed her eyes.

Fawnstar was angry at her for stealing prey, but hardly recognized her due to her thin frame, dull eyes, and many scars lining her ragged pelt. Fawnstar requested she state her identity, but instead Stellar leapt at the tan she-cat before her, digging her claws into her pelt and ripping the matted and old fur she held beneath her claws.

After she killed the leader, who had a long struggle trying to fight off the rogue, Stellar tossed the dead she-cat behind the rock where she sat, sure to make the trail of dead mice clear to the rest of the Clan. Stellar, however, had no idea who the next leader was going to be.

RiverClan soon figured out the fate of their leader, assuming a stray rogue or fox had killed her along with the mice. Of course, they didn't recognize Stellar's new scent.

Flamestar, the new leader of RiverClan, decided it would be best to find his former mate, for she was the only one he had ever actually loved. After searching for nearly a moon, Flamestar finally stumbled upon the she-cat, lying in an old mossy bed. He begged Stellar to return to the Clan as Duskwhisker, and she quickly complied, deciding living amongst the shadows was much too difficult.

Pronouncing her back into the Clan she used to know, Duskwhisker tried her hardest to make amends, now that Fawnstar had been murdered. She approached the sister she didn't recognize, Cloudgaze, and started to question her. Since they were separated as kits under Fawnstar's orders, Cloudgaze got to stay with Dappledpelt, their father, while Duskwhisker received no attention. Angered by this, Duskwhisker left hefty scars on her pelt, threatening to murder Cloudgaze's kits if she told anyone who had given her the scratches. Cloudgaze, who was aware of Duskwhisker's raw power, complied, promising to protect her kits, Berryfall and Ivyblossom(Berrykit and Ivykit at the time).

Duskwhisker returned to the camp, confronting Flamestar. The tom stared at her wide eyed when she told him that she was expecting his kits.

Nearly a moon later, Duskwhisker and Flamestar's kits, Honeykit and Mosskit, were born, bringing great joy to the once lonely Duskwhisker. However, Duskwhisker still was not satisfied, and eventually grew so unhappy as to murder the blind medicine cat, Ripplefrost. She had learned the ragged blue-grey tom was along with Fawnstar's scheme to rid Duskwhisker of social interactions.

Learning of this from Ripplefrost's apprentice, Speckledust, Flamestar had no choice but to rid the Clan of Duskwhisker, despite her being his mate. He knew the Clan must come first. He kept Honeykit and Mosskit, knowing leaving them under Duskwhisker's supervision might lead to their deaths.

Despite being under heavy watch, Duskwhisker, now Stellar once again, slipped into the camp and stole the two small kits, murdering them just outside the camp. Flamestar, however, knew they were gone, and sneaked out to find them, before realizing he was too late to save them. He and Stellar fought, before Flamestar, on his fourth life, managed to drag the life from his former mate.

However, she was not fully dead at the time, Stellar was able to sneak away after pleading for mercy. She later died from blood loss just outside a barn on the edge of WindClan territory.

## Trivia

-Within the prophecy given to Fawnstar, another StarClan cat, Oakpelt, visited Duskkit and declared that some prophecies can be avoided, thus hinting that if Fawnstar had given Duskkit a chance, the prophecy may have never come true.

-Duskwhisker never knew much of her sister, which lead her to nearly murder Cloudgaze and her kits, believing they were part of Fawnstar's scheme.

-Flamestar never wanted kits with Duskwhisker, because he knew her intentions would lead to their deaths, which he knew he couldn't handle, and he knew that Honeykit and Mosskit's birth was an accident.
