Dustfall

## Appearance & Personality

Dustfall has an albino coat, marked only by brownish fades on her nose and paws. Her eyes are an unusual blue with red/pink, a result of her albinism. She has a long and thick coat.

Dustfall is fairly quiet, preferring to save her breath for when she actually has something useful to contribute. She likes to silently observe, as she's a visual learner. She feels an almost constant sense of self-doubt, due to her background. She's polite to everyone she meets, and prefers making peace through conversation rather than jumping to action.

## Brief History

Dustfall was brought into the Clan by Tigertide, and soon after accepted by Beestar. Dustfall was chosen by Bumblemeadow as RiverClan's second medicine cat apprentice. She chose Sandpaw as her apprentice after Bumblemeadow left, later giving him the name of Sandocean. She stepped down from her position several moons later, due to her eyesight worsening as result of her albinism.

## Detailed History

When Dustpaw was born, her mother, a rogue, quickly recognized her daughter's albinism, having had a relative with it. Knowing the troubling side effects of the condition, mainly irritation towards the sun, she chose to abandon her kit to the forest. She happened to do so during a Gathering, and after a bit, Tigertide found and convinced the kit to go back to RiverClan with her. Beestar gave his approval, and the kit was officially named Dustkit and accepted into the Clan.

From the start, Dustkit was nervous about her place in the Clan. She felt insecure due to her mother's abandonment. When her eyes started to become irritated when exposed to direct sunlight, she feared that she would be kicked out for being a burden, despite reassurance from Firscar, Tigertide, Tempestkit, and Woolymask.

One day, Bumblemeadow approached the young kit and asked her if she would be interested in being his apprentice. Feeling as if she could never have a truly normal warrior life, Dustpaw accepted. She befriended many cats during her training, such as her mentor, her leader, and a kit named Sandkit.

After some time, Bumblemeadow vanished from RiverClan, leaving Dustpaw as the sole RiverClan medicine cat. She was given the full name Dustfall and left to heal RiverClan alone.

Shortly after, RiverClan began to fight with WindClan over territory, with ThunderClan assisting the latter. RiverClan took the barn, and this caused WindClan and ThunderClan to attack their camp. Rosestar came into the den and fought off Pumpkinpaw and Pebblefrost, then went through Dustfall to attack the herbs. Rosestar's life was taken by Firscar before she could completely destroy the supply, but half of them were lost. Dustfall was infuriated, and at the next Gathering she represented at, she called Rosestar out on it.

Due to the loss of her herbs, Dustfall became swamped with work. She had been spending more time with her best friend, Sandpaw, at the time. After seeing him struggle to find his footing as a warrior, she offered him a place as her apprentice, which he accepted.

Sandpaw got the full name of Sandocean shortly after, due to the incredible amount of work they'd done together repairing the medicine den. Dustfall and the tom made an excellent team, and so many moons later when her eyesight was nearly gone, she had no reluctance stepping down for her apprentice to take over.
