Dunekit was born to Nightswirl and Sandclaw of WindClan alongside his siblings, Mudkit, Blossomkit, and Crowkit. Crowkit was stillborn, so he never knew him. He enjoyed playing with his siblings, and he had a good life. Twilightstar had just become leader at this time.

Then, just before his second moon, coyotes invaded the camp. It was a horrific scene. Cruel creatures stampeding his home, once thought to be a safe haven, snapping cats up in their oversized jaws... Sandclaw fought to the death to help Nightswirl and her kits escape, but alas, another coyote came by and snapped her up. Dunekit would never forget that day. The other warriors rounded him and his siblings up, and they were relocated to the ShadowClan camp for shelter. Not long later, they were able to return to WindClan.

The event thoroughly traumatized Dunekit, maturing him at a young age. He constantly had nightmares about the coyote attack and his parents’ deaths. However, he found a way to cope by spending time with others. His siblings, the other cats in the nursery, heck, he’d even talk to the warriors. It helped to chat and make friends. Gradually, Dunekit was able to recover from the trauma. He accepted that the event was awful, but a warrior’s life came with risks, so he’d do whatever he could for his Clan. He was still terrified of coyotes, though.

He became an apprentice, Dunepaw, with Dustowl as his mentor. The two got along nicely, and Dunepaw found he had an affinity for hunting, though he wasn’t as keen on heading into battle. But he soon learned that, as much as he might not like it, fighting was necessary. WindClan’s conflict with ShadowClan was teeming. Due to ShadowClan’s cruelty, WindClan drove them out of their camp - but ShadowClan retaliated under a new leader, Dawnstar.

Not long after Dunepaw became Dunecall and his siblings also received their warrior names - Mudheart and Blossomnose - Twilightstar went missing, and Dawnstar took over WindClan. It was a period of much terror and confusion. Eventually, however, Twilightstar was found and ShadowClan was driven out. Dustowl died in the process.

ShadowClan’s reign of terror was far from over as they constantly targeted WindClan, killing and even skinning whoever they got their claws on, donning the pelts of the murdered as trophies and stealing the Sky Glade. Mudheart ended up dying during one of their attacks. Dunecall’s natural sympathy toward others vanished as he saw how heartless ShadowClan could be. He couldn’t help thinking that if he were leader, he’d find a way to move the Clans toward a more peaceful era, one where such things wouldn’t happen.

He got an apprentice to train who grew to be a warrior, Dovetail. Not long later, he gained another apprentice, Grasspaw. However, while hunting, they came upon a snake pit. Both of them got bitten by adders. Dunecall was strong enough to pull through, but Grasspaw succumbed to the venom. Now he’d gained a new phobia: snakes. They could be hiding anywhere in the ground... He’d better watch his step.

Eventually, ShadowClan’s reign of terror ceased as WindClan took back the Sky Glade and Dawnstar ordered a truce. Dunecall was immensely relieved, though that didn’t make him like ShadowClan any more than he had before.

A terrible lightning storm took Blossomnose’s life; hunting and open spaces are not a good combination. Dunecall mourned his lost family, but he knew he wasn’t alone, not with his Clanmates beside him. His sense of duty toward WindClan hardened. Everything he’d endured - all this death and destruction from a young age - had matured him, too, though Dunecall knew that there had to be some light in his life, too. If every cat focused on the dangers, the war, and the other bad things, life would never be enjoyable. So he continued to be sociable, cracking jokes, enjoying himself, and always being there for his Clan. It never felt strained; it came naturally to him, a quality which others tend to envy.

The fire that swept through WindClan’s territory in a particularly dry greenleaf certified his fear of storms and fires. Dunecall managed to evacuate with his life, and he adapted nicely to his Clan’s new home - though it was a bit strange, treating this unfamiliar land like his old home.

Currently, Dunecall is a proactive member of WindClan. Tensions with RiverClan are high, and there was a brief bout with ThunderClan over their brutal deputy, Spiderthroat, though that seems to have died down...
