## History

Dustkit is born to Stormheart and an unknown father. Stormheart dotes on him, and as Dustkit grows older, he starts asking who his father is. Stormheart dodges around the question, and promises to tell him when he's older. Dustkit notices how some warriors treat him differently, refusing to look at him or talk to him. He was apprenticed to Snakenose as Dustpaw, and trains fiercely. He meets Lilypaw as an apprentice, and grows infatuated with her. Dustpaw reminds his mother of her promise to tell him who his father is, and Stormheart finally tells him that his father was a rogue. Dustpaw is horrified, and realizes that was why some of the warriors disliked him. Dustpaw makes it his personal mission to track his father and attack him, but Stormheart and Snakenose race to stop him. Dustpaw is nearly killed by his own father, and Stormheart brings him back to camp to be treated by Birdflight.
Dustpaw's resentment for his father stays with him, and after Talonstar chastises him, Dustpaw focuses on his training, and more imporantly, Lilypaw. Lilypaw refuses his advances, until she finds something charming in him as well. The two become close, and are named warriors together, Dustcloud and Lilypetal.
Dustcloud is known to be rather unapproachable in camp, as he has a fierce temper and is not afraid to say what is on his mind. Despite this, he is fiercely loyal to his Clan and obeys his leader without question.
He leads a rescue patrol to bring Cactusclaw back from the Twolegplace, much to his own distaste. But because it was an order from his leader, he and the patrol are able to launch a battle plan and bring Cactusclaw back home.
Dustcloud's relationship with Lilypetal changes overtime. He begins to get strangely overprotective of her, so far as to telling Cactusclaw that he owns her. He stops her from communicating with anyone else unless he approves it and experiences irrational jealousy.
Lilypetal and Dustcloud have one kit, Icekit, a moon after the RiverClan-ShadowClan war started. Dustcloud is disappointed that Lilypetal did not produce more kits, and blames her for it.
When Dapplestar enters ShadowClan's camp and demands a hostage from Talonstar, Dustcloud suggests that they give Icekit, as he believes she is a bad omen. Talonstar rejects the offer, knowing Lilypetal would never agree. A few days later, Dustcloud takes Lilypetal out of the nursery in a secluded part of territory and forces her to allow RiverClan to take her hostage. Lilypetal rejects the idea, but Dustcloud attacks her until she is bleeding. She looks up at Dustcloud and finally agrees. The next day, the two visit Talonstar. Dustcloud explains that the both of them came to an agreement that it would be better for everyone if Icekit was given to RiverClan. Talonstar stares at the both of them, realizing that something is wrong. But when Talonstar hears a cry from the medicine den and knows it is the sound of a dying warrior, he agrees. Dustcloud brings the kit to RiverClan the next night, dropping her at the border and leaving.
Moons later, he is hunting in remote ShadowClan territory, unaware of any danger behind him. He feels teeth in his back neck and crumples to the ground as a killing blow is swiftly delivered to him. The killer is his daughter, Icepaw, ordered to by Dapplestar. Icepaw stares at his body, emotionless, and leaves as if nothing had happened.
## Theme song

* **Love The Way You Lie** by Eminem

*You ever love somebody so much, you can barely breathe, when you're with them, you meet, and neither one of you, even know what hit 'em. Now you're getting fucking sick, of looking at 'em, you swore you've never hit 'em, never do nothing to hurt 'em, now you're in each other's face, spewing venom in your words, when you spit 'em.*
