Dustspring
Dustspring is a brown colored Bengal cat. She has thick Bengal patching with light brown fur that turns pale to her belly. Her shins are tabby striped as well as the top half of her tail.
- Dustspring does not have long or fluffy fur. All of her fur is sleek and she's short-furred.
- Her bangs are a personal touch, they are not necessary.
Dustspring is very well mannered in her older age. She is polite and calm, only getting upset when her kits are in distress. As an apprentice, she was very rebellious and had a temper, but she mellowed out as she matured and had her children. Dustspring is well respected, and acts as so. She is very soft when it comes to her family.

Dustkit was born to Reedlight and Cloudfoot, both now deceased, in the old StoneClan forest. As a kit, she ate deathberries and temporarily went blind. She regained her sight as an apprentice, having been mentored by the old MarshClan leader, Houndstar. Dustpaw became a medicine cat apprentice to Rosewhisker. Dustpaw had solely taken over as medicine cat while still an apprentice after Rosewhisker fell ill with greencough. Many moons later, Dustspring earned her full medicine cat name. She fell in love with a cat and broke the code, eventually falling pregnant. Her plan was for Flamestar to take the kits and raise them as her own, however, the storm came and with that MarshClan and StoneClan collapsed. Dustspring, Adderflame, Flamestar, Sootskip and the leader's kits stayed together, probably in a shelter or cave, where Dustspring had her kits. As time went on, Flamestar refounded StoneClan, accepting Dustspring as her new medicine cat. Since Dustspring's kits were old enough, she was able to reclaim her medicine cat position, and Flamestar allowed her to stay mates with Adderflame so long as it does not interfere with her duties.
- NOMENCLATURE
- Dust — Prefix chosen for her on the color of her brown fur.
- Spring — Based on her swift ability to leap high.
- Dustspring almost became an evil medicine after the events of her life pushed her very far. Instead, she overcame it, and became a semi-loyal MarshClan cat (later loyal to StoneClan re-merged).
- Houndstar, MarshClan leader, was unaware of Dustspring's pregnancy until she told him at the end of MarshClan's existence.
For a while after Dustspring chose the path of a medicine cat, Cloudfoot did not support her kit. This heavily fractured Dustspring's relationship with her. Cloudfoot was often aggressive and rude, and avoided Dustspring. At the end of her life, Cloudfoot made amends with her daughter and apologized with her behavior.
Adderflame and Dustspring met during one of Dustspring's rebellious phases, going against Houndstar to return Rainkit to her mother across the border. Dustspring found out she was expecting kits shortly after getting her full medicine cat name and they were both overjoyed. After the collapse of MarshClan, Adderflame and Dustspring became almost inseparable.
Flamestar and Dustspring took in Lavenderpaw whilst she was a kit. When StoneClan was eventually recreated, Lavenderpaw chose to become a medicine cat under Dustspring. They have since formed a close apprentice-mentor bond with this pairing, and Lavenderpaw looks up to Dustspring.
Juniperpaw and Honeypaw were born to Dustspring and Adderflame during the storm. Both cats look up to their parents, respecting Dustspring's medicine cat wisdom. Honeypaw is more on the grumpy side, possibly getting that from his mother whilst Juniperpaw is more outgoing and sassy. Both kitslove their parents deeply.
